Описание: In The Memory Librarian music, fashion, film and futurist icon Janelle Monae returns to the Afrofuturistic world of her critically acclaimed album, Dirty Computer, to explore how different threads of liberation - queerness, race, gender plurality, love - become tangled in a totalitarian landscape... and to discover costs of unravelling them.
The overuse of sand is 'one of the major sustainability challenges of the 21st-century.'
- United Nations Environment Program, 2019
Sand is the hidden foundation of our society. In Sand Stories, Kiran Pereira maps out the big picture of why it is the most consumed commodity on the planet after water. The book also examines the impacts of our seemingly insatiable demand for sand on our global Sustainable Development Goals.
The concern is that sand is a non-renewable resource and not every kind of sand is useful. While the number of sand's uses beyond glass and concrete is growing, its sources are not. The good news is that there are solutions to this alarming global problem, including those that foster a circular economy. We now need the political will to enact them.

CLIMATE CRISIS, CLIMATE GENOCIDE & SOLUTIONS is the ultimate climate bible that thoroughly documents the acute seriousness of the worsening climate emergency. Widespread speciescide and ecocide are pushing the Earth towards omnicide and terracide. At the very heart of this deadly problem we find neoliberal greed, egregious inequity, and ruthless mendacity. Unless we adopt Gideon Polya s solutions, it is inevitable that we are en route to a sustainable population in 2100 of about 1 billion people.
Dr. Gideon Polya is a Melbourne-based biochemist, writer, humanitarian activist, and artist. Over the last two decades, he has published numerous articles on the human consequences of neoliberalism, war, mainstream media deception, and climate change. Evidently, as a consequence of his carefully researched writing, he has been honored by being rendered invisible in look-the-other-way, US-dominated Australia.

Описание: This book explores how the world community will respond to the unfolding humanitarian crisis caused by climate change. It recognises climate change as the greatest threat to human development in the 21st century, bringing with it: flooding, drought, extreme temperatures, health crises, threats to human security and severe harm to economic development.The Climate Change Crisis addresses climate change and its impact as a major threat for countries around the world. Through a collection of interviews with leading environmentalists and exploration into new innovations that can offer hope and protection for billions of people, this book presents an interdisciplinary approach towards understanding the paramount health and development challenges of climate change.This timely and informative book cuts across several disciplines, including human rights, public policy, international relations, national refugee policy, and migration studies.

Описание: Infrastructure that manages our water resources (such as, dams and reservoirs, irrigation systems, channels, navigation waterways, water and wastewater treatment facilities, storm drainage systems, urban water distribution and sanitation systems), are critical to all sectors of an economy. Realizing the importance of water infrastructures, efforts have already begun on understanding the sustainability and resilience of such systems under changing conditions expected in the future.
The goal of this collected work is to raise awareness among civil engineers of the various implications of landscape change and non-climate drivers on the resilience of water management infrastructure. It identifies the knowledge gaps and then provides effective and complementary approaches to assimilate knowledge discovery on local (mesoscale)-to-regional landscape drivers to improve practices on design, operations and preservation of large water infrastructure systems.
