If we look carefully enough we can discern facets of the sustainable society all around us. The ecologically-sensitive design of the buildings we work in, the green goods we routinely consume in the high street, and the ways in which development in our towns and regions is being planned all reflect a desire to live in a more sustainable way. But the question remains, can we as a global society really change the old unsustainable habits of the industrial era and create a society which more effectively balances economic need with social justice and environmental protection? "Spaces of...

The twin categories of the state and nature collectively embody some of the most fundamental reference points around which our lives and thinking are organized. Despite their combined significance, however, the complex relationships that exist between modern states and nature remain under-theorized and are relatively unexplored. Through a detailed study of different sites, moments, and framing strategies The Nature of the State challenges the ways in which geographers and social scientists approach the study of state-nature relations. The authors analyse different instances of state-nature...

The arrival of the aerostatic balloon at the end of the nineteenth century ushered in a new perspective on the battlefield, taking over from the mount--the hill at the edge of the field of combat--and the fortified tower positioned within it. Since then there has been no perspective more culpable in war, violence and security than the aerial one. From Above explores the aerial view in new depth and clarity. It draws in vivid detail on studies of the aerial perspective today and on rich empirical investigations of the aerial view from the past. Chapters examine a range of case studies and...

These developments have influenced public policy making and popular culture in the UK and elsewhere through policies and emerging social practices focussed on behavioural change, happiness, wellbeing, therapy, resilience and character. Yet little attention has been paid to examining the wider political and ethical significance of the widespread use of psychological governance...

Drawing on interviews with leading behaviour change experts, organizations, and policy-makers, and discussed in alignment with a series...
