Pandora's Toolbox - Wake (harvard University Smith - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Pandora's Toolbox - Wake (harvard University Smith - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Reaching net zero emissions will not be the end of the climate struggle, but only the end of the beginning. For centuries thereafter, temperatures will remain elevated; climate damages will continue to accrue and sea levels will continue to rise. Even the urgent and utterly essential task of reaching net zero cannot be achieved rapidly by emissions reductions alone. To hasten net zero and minimize climate damages thereafter, we will also need massive carbon removal and storage. We may even need to reduce incoming solar radiation in order to lower unacceptably high temperatures. Such unproven and potentially risky climate interventions raise mind-blowing questions of governance and ethics. Pandora''s Toolbox offers readers an accessible and authoritative introduction to both the hopes and hazards of some of humanity''s most controversial technologies, which may nevertheless provide the key to saving our world.

Holes in the Safety Net - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Holes in the Safety Net - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

While the United States continues to recover from the 2008 Great Recession, the country still faces unprecedented inequality as increasing numbers of poor families struggle to get by with little assistance from the government. Holes in the Safety Net: Federalism and Poverty offers a grounded look at how states and the federal government provide assistance to poor people. With chapters covering everything from welfare reform to recent efforts by states to impose work requirements on Medicaid recipients, the book avoids unnecessary jargon and instead focuses on how programs operate in practice. This timely work should be read by anyone who cares about poverty, rising inequality, and the relationship between state, local, and federal levels of government.

The Price of Bread - Jan (university Of California De Vries - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Price of Bread - Jan (university Of California De Vries - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

A prime contemporary concern - how to maintain fair market relations - is addressed through this study of the regulation of bread prices. This was the single most important economic reality of Europe''s daily life in the early modern period. Jan de Vries uses the Dutch Republic as a case study of how the market functioned and how the regulatory system evolved and acted. The ways in which consumer behaviour adapted to these structures, and the state interacted with producers and consumers in the pursuit of its own interests, had major implications for the measurement of living standards in this period. The long-term consequences of the Dutch state''s interventions reveal how capitalist economies, far from being the outcome of unfettered market economics, are inextricably linked with regulatory fiscal regimes. The humble loaf serves as a prism through which to explore major developments in early modern European society and how public market regulation affected private economic life.

Regenerative Strategies - Gregorio Martin De Castro - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Regenerative Strategies - Gregorio Martin De Castro - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

In the current climate emergency, it is no longer enough for businesses to simply employ environmental strategy typologies focused on ''greening the business'' and maintaining the ''business-as-usual'' logic. Gregorio Martín-de Castro and Javier Amores-Salvadó argue that disruptive business models and solutions are now required, and they propose a new regenerative strategy linking climate science to management studies. The main features of this strategy are:cutting-edge climate science solutions (capturing and utilizing atmospheric carbon dioxide to produce net-zero or net-negative emissions and positive environmental externalities) and a redefined firm purpose under an ecological, ethical and moral paradigm (integrating ecoemotional wealth, environmental performance, systemic socioecological resilience, wider stakeholder management and a very long-term perspective). They demonstrate that, by applying this strategy, companies can not only reduce their negative environmental externalities and create positive environmental externalities, but also reverse current environmental degradation through a new sustainable capitalism.

Liturgy, Ritual, and Secularization in Nineteenth-Century British Literature - Joseph Mcqueen - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Liturgy, Ritual, and Secularization in Nineteenth-Century British Literature - Joseph Mcqueen - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Liturgy incarnates unseen realities in concrete forms – bread, wine, water, the architectural arrangement of religious buildings. Uncovering a nineteenth-century fascination with liturgy, Joseph McQueen here shows how Romantic and Victorian writers used such forms in their work to invest ordinary material life with spiritual and ethical meaning.

The Internet in the Workplace - Patricia Wallace - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Internet in the Workplace - Patricia Wallace - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The capabilities offered by netcentric technologies might seem to eliminate the need for physical workplace altogether, but the workplace remains, partly because the virtual, and in fact, the physical appearance of a typical office looks about the same. Nevertheless, the psychological characteristics of the workplace have changed considerably. Workers, from the mail room clerk to the CEO, are learning new skills - to capitalize on the net''s power, but avoid the egregious blunders that the net so dramatically amplifies. In The Internet in the Workplace, Wallace shows how netcentric technologies touch every kind of workplace, and explores the challenges and dilemmas they create.
