Nature's Matrix Linking Agriculture Biodiversity Conservation and Food Sovereignty

Nature's Matrix Linking Agriculture Biodiversity Conservation and Food Sovereignty

When first published in 2009 Nature’s Matrix set out a radical new approach to the conservation of biodiversity. This new edition pushes the frontier of the biodiversity/agriculture debate further making an even stronger case for the need to transform agriculture and support small- and medium-scale agroecology and food sovereignty. In the first edition the authors set out a radical new approach to the conservation of biodiversity. This is based on the concept of a landscape as a matrix of diverse small-scale agricultural ecosystems providing opportunities to enhance conservation under the stewardship of local farmers. This contrasts with the alternative view of industrial-scale farms and large protected areas which exclude local people. However since then the debate around conservation and agriculture has developed significantly and this is reflected in this updated second edition. The text is thoroughly revised including: a reorganization of chapters with new and timely topics introduced updates to the discussion of agroecology and food sovereignty bringing it in line with the current debates greater coverage of the role of agroecology in particular agroforestry as an important component of climate change adaptation and mitigation highlighting recent studies on the role of intensive agriculture in climate change and loss of biodiversity and more attention given to the discussion of land sparing versus land sharing. By integrating the ecological aspects of agriculture and conservation biology with a political and social analysis as well as historical perspective the book continues to set a progressive agenda and appeals to a wide range of students and professionals. | Nature's Matrix Linking Agriculture Biodiversity Conservation and Food Sovereignty

His discussion centres on aspects of Fielding’s writing in relation to Augustan culture and civilization. He also relates the works of such Augustans as Pope Swift and Smollett as well as some twentieth century writings to his overall theme. He treats among other topics the crises in stylistic ‘urbanity’ and in the ‘mock-heroic’ styles of this historically and artistically fascinating period. | Routledge Revivals: Henry Fielding and the Augustan Ideal Under Stress (1972) 'Nature's Dance of Death' and Other Studies

Nature's Ideological Landscape A Literary and Geographic Perspective on its Development and Preservation on Denmark's Jutland Heath

Nature's Ideological Landscape A Literary and Geographic Perspective on its Development and Preservation on Denmark's Jutland Heath

Originally published in 1984 Nature’s Ideological Language examines the common ideological roots of environmental reclamation and nature preservation. In the general context of European British and American historical experience the Jutland heaths of Denmark are taken as a concrete example for a general critique of European and American policy concerning the use of landscape. Two sets of contradictions are highlighted: ideological and practical between development and preservation; and those between scientific historical aesthetic and recreational motivation for preservation. The book is based on a study of the Jutland heath from 1750 to the present focusing on the Danish perception of the area as expressed in literary art and in economic journals topographies and government reports. Against this background the development of the modern conception of nature is traced and its ideological implications and planning consequences discussed. As a study of humanistic geography this book will be of interest to geographers conservationists and planners. | Nature's Ideological Landscape A Literary and Geographic Perspective on its Development and Preservation on Denmark's Jutland Heath

Why It's OK to Mind Your Own Business

Why It's OK to Mind Your Own Business

Every year millions of students in the United States and around the world graduate from high school and college. Commencement speakers—often distilling the hopes of parents and four years of messaging from educators—tell graduates that they must do something grand ambitious or far-reaching. Change the world. Disrupt the status quo. Every problem in the world is your problem awaiting your solutions. This book is an antidote to that advice. It provides a clear-eyed assessment of three types of people who tend to believe and promote a commencement speaker’s view of the world: the moralizer who imposes unnecessary social costs by inappropriately enforcing morality; the busybody who thinks the stranger and close friend merit equal shares of our benevolent attention; and the pure hearted who equates acting with good intentions with just outcomes. The book also provides a bold defense of living an ordinary life by putting down roots creating a good home and living in solitude. A quiet peaceful life can be generous and noble.

Jewish Citizenship in France The Temptation of Being Among One's Own

Jewish Citizenship in France The Temptation of Being Among One's Own

The Jews of France have been liberated for over two centuries; they have been considered free citizens and equal to their compatriots. What purpose then does it serve to study their citizenship today? Until World War II French Jews called themselves Israelites; they were deeply patriotic and had found a place for themselves in France's community of citizens. However outbursts of anti-Semitism during that period reminded them that their new status prevented neither hate nor rejection; they had to persevere in the struggle for citizenship equity. France has not been spared from recent movements demanding recognition of particular identities in the public space. Ethnicity in French political life has become increasingly obvious in spite of the constant assertion of republican values. Questions about immigration nationality and integration are constantly in the forefront of public life. Though in France the existence of ethnic and religious communities is not legally recognized certain groups are designated as separate often creating conflicts among them. | Jewish Citizenship in France The Temptation of Being Among One's Own
