Since before the first atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima, the history of nuclear warfare has been tangled with the spaces and places of scientific research and weapons testing, armament and disarmament, pacifism and proliferation. Nuclear geography gives us the tools to understand these events as well as the extraordinary human cost of nuclear weapons. Disarming Doomsday explores the secret history of nuclear weapons by studying the places they build and tear apart, from Los Alamos to Hiroshima. It looks at the legacy of nuclear imperialism from weapons testing on Christmas Island and across the South Pacific, as well as the lasting harm this has caused to both indigenous communities and the soldiers that were ordered to conduct tests. Tying these complex geographies together for the first time, Disarming Doomsday takes us forward, describing how geographers and geotechnology continue to shape nuclear war and imagining ways to help prevent it in the future.

This book discusses how to develop green transitions which benefit, include and respect marginalised social groups. Diversity and Inclusion in Environmentalism explores the challenge of taking into account issues of equity and justice in the green transformation and shows that ignoring these issues risks exacerbating the gap between the rich and the poor, the marginalised and included, and undermining widespread support for climate change mitigation. Expert contributors provide evidence and analysis in relation to the thinking and practice that has prevented us from building a broad base of people who are willing and able to take the action necessary to successfully overcome the current ecological crises. Providing examples from a wide range of marginalised and/or oppressed groups including women, disabled people, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) people and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning and others (LGBTQ+) community, the authors demonstrate how the issues and concerns of these groups are often undervalued in environmental policy-making and environmental social movements. Overall, this book supports environmental academics and practitioners to choose and campaign for effective, equitable and widely supported environmental policy, thereby enabling a smoother transition to sustainability. This volume will be of great interest to students, scholars and practitioners of environmental justice, social and environmental policy, planning and environmental sociology.

“How did this happen? What about the detail assigned to watch Elaine and the girls?” These thoughts raced through the President of the United States, Jerald Mortensen’s mind as he anguished over the tape he had just recently received. This tape turns out to be the impetus that brings Reggie Nutsbagh and Toby, Preston, Private Detectives, into this complex problem. They had come to the attention of the President and his Chief of Staff, Garrett Farmer, when their courageous exploits across the European Continent were revealed to them by the German and French governments. These two detectives, one from Las Vegas, Nevada, and the other from Bremerton, Washington became involved in a desperate dash across Europe (Book #3, The Dawn over Europe) to deny a terrorists group access to the dreaded anthrax virus and an antidote to the virus developed by three sons of very rich parents. Although from foreign countries they were attending a prestigious university in the United States and during their studies had developed both the virus and an antidote. They work was discovered by a group of men wanting to use the virus to cripple the United States and its allies. Nothing about this mission or the persons responsible for the favorable results in denying terrorist this deadly virus could be announced or disclosed the public so they were honored in private, with a few of our nation’s high ranking government officials present, including the President and his Chief of Staff. Now the Chief of Staff, Garrett Farmer, without getting a blessing from his boss, the President, called for the two detectives to return to the Washington DC to assist the President this serious matter. When told what Garrett has done the President responds, “How can they do anything when even the Secret Service can’t find a clue? We have less than forty hours before the kidnappers make their demands. It would take hours just to get them here.” “Actually, my old friend, they are on their way here now. They should be landing at Andrews very shortly. I told them only that the President had need of their services.” The two detectives, had not too long ago, returned from a long and dangerous mission in Europe involving the anthrax virus now and were just settling in with their families now they were called back to our nation’s capital and would find themselves embroiled in another mystery involving the kidnapping of the President’s family. This kidnapping would turn into something more serious and along the way personal problems surface when Reggie’s wife, Brandy dies in child birth leaving him with a new born daughter. His partner, Toby Preston, thinking about a single father trying to raise a daughter, invites a young lady, Monika, who became enamored with Reggie during their escapades in Europe, to come to the United States and help Reggie with his new born daughter. But there is a catch to this invitation which will further complicate an already complex situation. These personal problems boil over in both households and could sideline this investigation before it gets started. But duty to country comes first so pushing these personal problems aside the two detectives dive into the Presidents dilemma and using the skills they have developed over the years of operating together in an attempt to solve the kidnapping of his family. This kidnapping becomes even more and our two detectives receive another invitation to talk to the President on a more serious matter, the theft of Nuclear Devises from a Submarine Base in the State of Washington. This situation becomes a race against time as our two detectives are taxed to the maximum, as time and the threat of a Nuclear detonation in a large populated area creates an added dimension of fear. Using the full complement of personnel from their Broken Dreams Detective Agency they dive into the dangerous situation, one that takes the

Revised, Extended, and Extensively Updated Text Uses Historical Geographical and Thematic Approach to Provide Undergraduates with a Firm Foundation in Human Geography Drawing on nearly three decades of instructional experience and a wealth of testing pedagogical innovations with students, Mark Boyle has revised and expanded this authoritative and comprehensive introduction to Human Geography. As with the First Edition, Boyle follows the premise that “history makes geography whilst geography makes history,” and that the key to studying the principal demographic, social, political, economic, cultural and environmental processes in any region in the world today is to look at how that region has been impacted by, and in turn has impacted, the story of the rise, reign, and decline of the West. Moreover he argues that Human Geography itself is best understood as both an intellectual endeavour and a historical, political, and institutional project. Informed by recent developments in post-colonial scholarship, the book covers key concepts, seminal thinkers, and influential texts in the field. Although designed for the beginner student, Boyle does not shy away from ideas and debates often avoided in introductory texts, clearly communicating theory without condescension. In addition, he places human geography in its larger academic context, discussing the influences on the field from related subjects. Notable features in the Second Edition include: Extensive revision and updating of coverage of key ideas, developments, debates and case studies New chapter on uneven geographical development at different scales and development theory and practice Dedicated coverage of Covid-19s geographies New learning resources (figures, tables, plates, maps, Deep Dive boxes, etc.) throughout the text, plus learning objectives, essay questions, checklists summarizing key ideas, and guidance for further reading Updated and expanded companion website with MP4 and MP3 chapter-by-chapter lectures and PowerPoint slides for each chapter, new multiple-choice exam paper and additional essay-style exam questions, and a wide range of student tutorial exercises Human Geography: An Essential Introduction, Second Edition is an excellent foundational text for undergraduate courses in human geography, globalization, Western civilization, historiographies of intellectual thought, the grand public problems confronting humanity in the twenty first century, and other wider social science courses.

Increasing numbers of researchers are using arts-based, embodied or creative methods. They promote rapport and connection, facilitating research that reaches beyond surface understanding to expose authentic stories and hidden, richer truths. Whilst powerful, these methods can have unintended consequences and the potential for harm. Drawing on case studies and lessons learned from programmes and work across research, therapy, education, art and science, this engaging book explores and demonstrates the porous borders of research. It invites researchers to reflect and consider the boundaries and consequences of their work in order to deepen and widen its applicability and impact across science, art, education and therapy.

This book delves into the everyday spaces, diverse mobilities and affective potency of weather. It presents cutting-edge research into the multiplicity of weather phenomena and analyses the lived experiences of humans in conjunction with contemporary issues, notably climate change. The book considers how everyday experiences of weather in the mundane lives of people are linked to broader changes in weather patterns and climate change. Heat, dust, ice, snow, precipitation, sunlight, clouds, tides and fog are states of weather that impact on the ways in which humans become intertwined with landscapes. Our experiences with weather are diverse and ever-changing, and engaging with weather entangles humans with mobilities, materials and landscapes. This book thus explores affective and sensory resonances, drawing upon a variety of theoretical, empirical and creative material to investigate how weather is perceived in different social and cultural contexts. Key themes focus on the mobilities generated by weather, the affective and sensual potency of weather, and the diverse cultural forms and practices that exemplify how weather is historically, geographically and artistically represented. Offering a social and cultural understanding of weather events, this book contributes to a growing literature on weather across various disciplines, including human geography and cultural geography, and will thus appeal to students and scholars of geography, sociology, humanities, cultural studies and the arts.

This book presents a timely perspective that puts working-class people at the forefront of achieving sustainability. Bell argues that environmentalism is a class issue, and confronts some current practice, policy and research that is preventing the attainment of sustainability and a healthy environment for all. She combines two of the biggest challenges facing humanity: that millions of people around the world still do not have their social and environmental needs met (including healthy food, clean water, affordable energy, clean air); and that the earth’s resources have been over-used or misused. Bell explores various solutions to these social and ecological crises and lays out an agenda for simultaneously achieving greater well-being, equality and sustainability. The result will be an invaluable resource for practitioners and policy-makers working to achieve environmental and social justice, as well as to students and scholars across social policy, sociology, human geography, and environmental studies.
