ISBN: 9780061172137 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Global warming is the story of the twenty-first century. It is the most serious issue facing the future of humankind, but American energy and environmental policy is driving the whole world down a path toward global catastrophe. According to Joseph Romm, we have ten years, at most, to start making sharp cuts to our greenhouse gas emissions, or we will face disastrous consequences. The good news, he writes, is that there is something we can do--but only if the leadership of the U.S. government acts immediately and asserts its influence on the rest of the world. Hell and High...

Interest groups, public officials, and media organizations have spent considerable time documenting the economic and ecological impacts of this spill as well as the causes of the spill, ostensibly to prevent future disasters of this magnitude. However, rather than an unbiased search for answers, such investigations involve strategic efforts by a variety of political actors to define the spill and its causes in...

In an innovative blend of environmental and labor history, Workers and the Wild examines the changing terms on which battles over the proper use of nature were fought in the early twentieth century. Focusing on Oregon in the 1910s and 1920s, Lawrence M. Lipin traces labor's shift in thinking about natural resources.

They later shifted to a consumerist' view under which resources should be available for public and...

ISBN: 9780300101096 / Angielski / Twarda / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In recent years a startling policy innovation has emerged within global and domestic environmental governance: certification systems that promote socially responsible business practices by turning to the market, rather than the state, for rule-making authority.

The authors compare the politics behind forest certification in five countries. They reflect on why... In recent years a startling policy innovation has emerged within global and domestic environmental governance: certification systems that promote soci...

Saving Our Environment from Washington: How Congress Grabs Power, Shirks Responsibility, and Shortchanges the People
ISBN: 9780300119848 / Angielski / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Through vivid tales of the pollution wars, a veteran environmental advocate shows that the Environmental Protection Agency is so big and remote that it must fail the environment and our society. David Schoenbrod reaches the surprising conclusion that we should strip the EPA of its power to dictate to the nation and replace it with "bottom-up" environmental protection now.
"A terrific, albeit disturbing, read. Only someone with Schoenbrod's unique combination of legal, political, and practical expertise could write so insightfully about environmental politics."--Morris P. Fiorina, Stanford...

Environmental Pragmatism
ISBN: 9780415122368 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Environmental pragmatism is a new strategy in environmental thought. It argues that theoretical debates are hindering the ability of the environmental movement to forge agreement on basic policy imperatives.

Environmental pragmatism, as a coherent philosophical position, connects the methodology of classical American pragmatic thought to the explanation, solution and discussion of real issues.

Direct Action in British Environmentalism
ISBN: 9780415242462 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Direct action has become a key part of the strategy of the radical environmental movement since the early 1990s, used to address issues such as road building and car culture, genetically modified foods, consumerism and global finance institutions. It has helped shape the political climate and has transformed the way people view political action, undermining the assumption that the power of politicians and big businesses cannot be contested. At the same time it is highly controversial, often illegal, and, partly due to its move towards greater militancy, may be included in new Prevention of...
