Описание: Canadian Environmental Philosophy is the first collection of essays to take up theoretical and practical issues in environmental philosophy today, from a Canadian perspective. The essays cover various subjects, including ecological nationalism, the legacy of Grey Owl, the meaning of "outside" to Canadians, the paradigm shift from mechanism to ecology in our understanding of nature, the meaning and significance of the Anthropocene, the challenges of biodiversity protection in Canada, the conservation status of crossbred species in the age of climate change, and the moral status of ecosystems. This wide range of topics is as diverse and challenging as the Canadian landscape itself. Given the extent of humanity's current impact on the biosphere – especially evident with anthropogenic climate change and the ongoing mass extinction – it has never been more urgent for us to confront these environmental challenges as Canadian citizens and citizens of the world. Canadian Environmental Philosophy galvanizes this conversation from the perspective of this place.
Автор: Thomas Biolsi Название: Power and Progress on the Prairie: Governing People on Rosebud Reservation ISBN: 1517900824 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781517900823 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 100320.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: A critical exploration of how modernity and progress were imposed on the people and land of rural South Dakota The Rosebud Country, comprising four counties in rural South Dakota, was first established as the Rosebud Indian Reservation in 1889 to settle the Sicangu Lakota. During the first two decades of the twentieth century, white homesteaders arrived in the area and became the majority population. Today, the population of Rosebud Country is nearly evenly divided between Indians and whites. In Power and Progress on the Prairie, Thomas Biolsi traces how a variety of governmental actors, including public officials, bureaucrats, and experts in civil society, invented and applied ideas about modernity and progress to the people and the land. Through a series of case studies-programs to settle “surplus” Indian lands, to “civilize” the Indians, to “modernize” white farmers, to find strategic sites for nuclear missile silos, and to extend voting rights to Lakota people-Biolsi examines how these various “problems” came into focus for government experts and how remedies were devised and implemented.Drawing on theories of governmentality derived from Michel Foucault, Biolsi challenges the idea that the problems identified by state agents and the solutions they implemented were inevitable or rational. Rather, through fine-grained analysis of the impact of these programs on both the Lakota and white residents, he reveals that their underlying logic was too often arbitrary and devastating.
From beer labels to literary classics like A River Runs Through It, trout fishing is a beloved feature of the iconography of the American West. But as Jen Brown demonstrates in Trout Culture: How Fly Fishing Forever Changed the Rocky Mountain West, the popular conception of Rocky Mountain trout fishing as a quintessential experience of communion with nature belies the sport’s long history of environmental manipulation, engineering, and, ultimately, transformation.
A fly-fishing enthusiast herself, Brown places the rise of recreational trout fishing in a local and global context. Globally, she shows how the European sport of fly-fishing came to be a defining, tourist-attracting feature of the expanding 19th-century American West. Locally, she traces the way that the burgeoning fly-fishing tourist industry shaped the environmental, economic, and social development of the Western United States: introducing and stocking favored fish species, eradicating the less favored native “trash fish,” changing the courses of waterways, and leading to conflicts with Native Americans’ fishing and territorial rights. Through this analysis, Brown demonstrates that the majestic trout streams often considered a timeless feature of the American West are in fact the product of countless human interventions adding up to a profound manipulation of the Rocky Mountain environment.

Название: World Youth Report: Youth and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development ISBN: 9211303494 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789211303490 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 56370.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: The World Youth Report: Youth and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development , a biennial flagship report prepared by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, examines the mutually supportive roles of the new agenda and youth development efforts. This Report provides insight into the role of young people in sustainable development in the context of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and related frameworks, including the World Programme of Action for Youth (WPAY) and considers the role the 2030 Agenda can play in enhancing youth development efforts including how evidence-based youth policies can help accelerate youth-related objectives. The Report includes an annex with youth-related data at global and regional levels for SDG indicators as well as WPAY indicators.
The Contemporary complex world situation, when analyzed it reveals that great efforts are needed to improve the 'State of the World' involving Intellectuals, Scholars, researchers, Civil Societies, NGOs, Global Institutes of Research and Studies, and the Fourth Estate with the cooperation of National Governments. The Complexities involve problems relating to world peace and security, freedom, equality, environmental degradation, cyber-crimes, arms race and prevalence of weapons of mass destruction like nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, disarmament, wittingly or unwittingly unleashing of dangerous viruses like the present COVID-19 epidemic, the wide gap between haves and have-nots, poverty, hunger, issues of economic domination and suppression, gender inequality, communal conflicts, regional conflicts and civil wars which may escalate into the Third World War and many other issues.
Another issue of worry is that Global Institutions are proving to be wanting in their Structures and authorities to solve these problems effectively. That means two things are to be done: 1. Formulate a suitable UNIFIED GLOBAL AGENDA for redeeming the Planet Earth, and 2. Conceive a suitable WORLD DEMOCRATIC FEDERAL GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE and CONSTITUTION in which all the nations and their people's representatives should be involved in the formation of the World Parliament and the World Government to implement the Global Agenda.The nineteenth and twentieth centuries witnessed the revival of proposals for a world government fuelled by positive developments - such as technological progress in travel and communications that enabled rapid economic globalization and negative developments - such as the devastating impact of wars fought with modern technology.
Even great Statesmen and philosophers like Jawaharlal Nehru, Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, Albert Einstein, Bertrand Russell, Jan Tinbergen, Ban Ki-moon, John F. Kennedy, Mikhail Gorbachev, Pope Benedict XVI, Winston Churchill - all in one way or the other advocated the need for a World Government. Therefore, there is wisdom in suggesting the formation of a World Federal Government as one of the approaches to secure the Planet's future and Humanity as a whole. However, the formation of the World Federal Government never fructified. Therefore, it is obvious that there should be a 'unified global effort' to fructify the World Federal Government's idea and thereby redeem the Planet Earth from its Problems.
Based on the above line of thinking, a UNIFIED GLOBAL AGENDA is suggested. After reviewing the existing approaches for World Governance, a suitable STRUCTURE OF A FEDERAL DEMOCRATIC WORLD GOVERNMENT AND THE FEDERAL WORLD CONSTITUTION is presented in the Book to implement the Unified Global Agenda as its MANIFESTO. There is no involvement of Political Parties and Direct Elections at the Global Level in the formation of the World Parliament and the World Government.
