"In A Book of Waves Stefan Helmreich examines ocean waves as forms of media that carry ecological, geopolitical, and climatological news about our planet. Drawing on ethnographic work with oceanographers and coastal engineers in the Netherlands, the United States, Australia, Japan, and Bangladesh, Helmreich details how scientists at sea and in the lab apprehend waves' materiality through abstractions, seeking to capture in technical language these avatars of nature at once periodic and irreversible, wild and pacific, ephemeral and eternal. For researchers and their publics, the meanings of waves also reflect visions of the ocean as an environmental infrastructure fundamental to trade, travel, warfare, humanitarian rescue, recreation, and managing sea level rise. Interleaving ethnographic chapters with reflections on waves in mythology, surf culture, feminist theory, film, Indigenous Pacific activisms, Black Atlantic history, cosmology, and more, Helmreich demonstrates how waves mark out the wakes and breaks of social histories and futures"-- Provided by publisher.

"Traiter de la Terre, c'est avoir à l'esprit une chaîne symbiotique : celle du vivant, dans ses innombrables déploiements. Les humains, les espèces animales et végétales, les microbes, bactéries et virus, les corps inorganiques et les substances minérales ainsi que les dispositifs technologiques et autres appareillages artificiels font inséparablement partie de cette chaîne du vivant. Mais c'est aussi le cas, du moins dans les pensées animistes africaines, de toutes les forces invisibles, des génies, des esprits et des masques. Prenant fermement appui sur l'insondable richesse de ces pensées, Achille Mbembe propose dans cet essai une réflexion stimulante sur la Terre, ses devenirs, et surtout la sorte de communauté qu'elle forme avec la cohorte des espèces animées et inanimées qui l'habitent, y ont trouvé refuge ou y séjournent. Il montre comment notre relation fondamentale à la Terre ne peut être que celle de l'habitant et du passant. C'est en tant qu'habitant et passant qu'elle nous accueille et nous abrite, qu'elle entretient les traces de notre passage, celles qui parlent en notre nom et en mémoire de qui nous aurons été, avec d'autres et au milieu d'eux. C'est à ce titre qu'elle est la toute dernière des utopies, la pierre angulaire d'une nouvelle conscience planétaire."--Page 4 of cover.

"With a deep, anticolonial and antiracist critique and analysis of what "conservation" currently is, Decolonize Conservation presents an alternative vision-one already working-of the most effective and just way to fight against biodiversity loss and climate change. Through the voices of largely silenced or invisibilized Indigenous Peoples and local communities, the devastating consequences of making 30 percent of the globe "Protected Areas," and other so-called "Nature-Based Solutions" are made clear. Evidence proves indigenous people understand and manage their environment better than anyone else. Eighty percent of the Earth's biodiversity is in tribal territories and when indigenous peoples have secure rights over their land, they achieve at least equal if not better conservation results at a fraction of the cost of conventional conservation programs. But in Africa and Asia, governments and NGOs are stealing vast areas of land from tribal peoples and local communities under the false claim that this is necessary for conservation. As the editors write, "This is colonialism pure and simple: powerful global interests are shamelessly taking land and resources from vulnerable people while claiming they are doing it for the good of humanity." The powerful collection of voices from the groundbreaking "Our Land, Our Nature" congress takes us to the heart of the climate justice movement and the struggle for life and land across the globe. With Indigenous Peoples and their rights at its center, the book exposes the brutal and deadly reality of colonial and racist conservation for people around the world, while revealing the problems of current climate policy approaches that do nothing to tackle the real causes of environmental destruction."--Amazon.com viewed July 11, 2023.

"By focusing on the human gaze, or how people interpret their relationship with land, Sumit Guha traces the longue durée of the political ecology of empire in South Asia during the age of empires. This relationship is in most sharp relief when comparing the exploitative and extractive practices of the Mughal Empire and the industrial British Raj as these imperial regimes encountered a large and old agrarian society. While scholars of South Asia regularly dwell on the destructive nature of British policies in South Asia, Guha integrates the cultural turn in environmental studies with the complex imperial rivalries that defined South Asia from the fifteenth through the mid-twentieth century to demonstrate how land use is defined through matrices of competing geographic expertise, too often in service of distant courts and environmental degradation"-- Provided by publisher.

"Dans le sillage des travaux fondateurs de Paolo Fedeli (La natura violata. Ecologia e mondo romano, 1990) s'est constitué le réseau de recherche franco-italien ERA (Ecologia Roma Antica), pour explorer les rapports entre humain et nature dans l'Antiquité romaine romaine, ainsi que leur héritage dans la modernité. Le présent ouvrage, issu d'un premier colloque à Florence (octobre 2019), inaugure cette série d'études en réunissant les contributions de quatorze chercheurs français et italiens. La première partie traite de certains animaux, pourchassés pour les divertissements spectaculaires (uenationes) et l'exhibition de la magnificence (luxuria). La deuxième envisage les sols et la végétation : dénonciations du déboisement, imaginaire de la forêt associée à la nature sauvage et à l'espace barbare, reconfigurations de son exploitation et de ses représentations au Moyen Âge, art des jardins portant à la Renaissance la marque profonde de la tradition romaine. La troisième section est consacrée aux eaux : traitement juridique de l'occupation des rivages, modèle religieux de la gestion du Tibre, idéologie de la paix imprégnant chez Ausone la description de la Moselle. La dernière partie présente diverses conceptions de la nature : chez Tite-Live, Lucrèce et Ovide, Sénèque et Lucain, enfin l'héritage antique chez Politien et Pontano, jusqu'à Giordano Bruno. Sont ainsi soulignés le rôle de la guerre et des conquêtes romaines, l'instrumentalisation des ressources naturelles et du vivant et les atteintes faites à l'environnement, mais aussi l'émergence d'un souci de la nature et d'une "réflexivité environnementale", où le respect de la terre se nourrit de motifs religieux et de considérations morales : l'image d'une nature généreuse, capable d'absorber l'activité humaine et de se régénérer, cœxiste avec la hantise d'une dégradation par rapport à un monde primitif idéalisé et avec l'inquiétude sur les forces destructrices de la cupidité humaine ou de la nature elle-même."--Page 4 of cover.

• Changing the politics and communication of environmental sustainability
• Conclusion: The long transition to environmental sustainability is already underway

"Those of us in the developed world have a far greater environmental impact than people in the developing world, but there is great political pressure in the developing world to increase material wealth. And that political pressure will lead to increased environmental impacts. Our political stability and security depend on the maintenance of material wealth where it exists and economic growth where people are poor. But to achieve those goals, we must learn how to construct a high throughput economy that does not destroy our planet's ecosystems. This is the major theme of this book: How do we realistically get from the current economic paradigm to one that permits economic growth while protecting the planet's ecosystems? To achieve the transition to environmental sustainability, we must undertake the following five actions: 1. Research, measure and understand the current state of environmental degradation. 2. Understand the causes of environmental degradation. 3. Develop a strategy for reducing pollution and growing a renewable-resource-based economy. 4. Build public sector infrastructure to support environmental sustainability. 5. Change the politics, advocacy, and communication of environmental sustainability"-- Provided by publisher

"This book documents a growing global collaboration among states, non-state actors, and private-sector firms concerned with biodiversity preservation to promote so-called market-based instruments (MBIs) that seek to reconcile environmental preservation and economic development by harnessing preservation itself as the source of conservation finance. It describes how this project has developed over the past several decades, the expanding network of organizations and actors that have come together around its promotion, and how the project has managed to "fail forward" over time despite a consistent inability to actually achieve its lofty aims"-- Provided by publisher

• Neoliberal conservation in ruins?
• There is no alternative to degrowth
• Conclusion : traversing the neoliberal fantasy

Failing Forward documents the global rise of neoliberal conservation as a response to biodiversity loss and unpacks how this approach has managed to "fail forward" over time despite its ineffectiveness. At its core, neoliberal conservation promotes market-based instruments intended to reconcile environmental preservation and economic development by harnessing preservation itself as the source of both conservation finance and capital accumulation more generally. Robert Fletcher describes how this project has developed over the past several decades along with the expanding network of organizations and actors that have come together around its promotion. Drawing on Lacanian psychoanalysis, he explores why this strategy continues to captivate states, nongovernmental organizations, international financial institutions, and the private sector alike despite its significant deficiencies. Ultimately, Fletcher contends, neoliberal conservation should be understood as a failed attempt to render global capitalism sustainable in the face of its intensifying social and ecological contradictions. Consequently, the only viable alternative capable of simultaneously achieving both environmental sustainability and social equity is a concerted program of "degrowth" grounded in post-capitalist principles. .

Flüsse sind (genauso wie Meere oder Gebirge) seit jeher ein prägender Bestandteil von Räumen. Sie dienen als natürliche Grenzen, formen den Charakter einer Landschaft und prägen das Bild ganzer Regionen. Für die Wahrnehmung eines geografischen Raumes spielen Flüsse daher eine ganz wesentliche Rolle, und sie sind selbst aktiv an der Konstitution von Räumen beteiligt. In politischer Hinsicht sind Flüsse oftmals umkämpfte Grenzen oder Orte kriegerischer Auseinandersetzungen und können zur Projektionsfläche für nationale Diskurse werden. Gleichzeitig bilden sie aber auch Räume des Kontakts, in denen kulturelle Transfer- und Austauschprozesse stattfinden; als solche tragen sie entscheidend zur Herausbildung von Raumkulturen bzw. zur Entstehung von Kulturräumen bei. Die Vielfalt der Flusslandschaften zu umreißen und zugleich den Begriff zu konturieren, ist ein Ziel des vorliegenden Bandes.

A sweeping account of Medieval North America when Indigenous peoples confronted climate change. Few Americans today are aware of one of the most consequential periods in North American history-the Medieval Warm Period of seven to twelve centuries ago (AD 800-1300 CE)-which resulted in the warmest temperatures in the northern hemisphere since the "Roman Warm Period, " a half millennium earlier. Reconstructing these climatic events and the cultural transformations they wrought, Timothy Pauketat guides readers down ancient American paths walked by Indigenous people a millennium ago, some trod by Spanish conquistadors just a few centuries later. The book follows the footsteps of priests, pilgrims, traders, and farmers who took great journeys, made remarkable pilgrimages, and migrated long distances to new lands. Along the way, readers will discover a new history of a continent that, like today, was being shaped by climate change-or controlled by ancient gods of wind and water. Through such elemental powers, the history of Medieval America was a physical narrative, a long-term natural and cultural experience in which Native people were entwined long before Christopher Columbus arrived or Hernan Cortes conquered the Aztecs. Spanning most of the North American continent, Gods of Thunder focuses on remarkable parallels between pre-contact American civilizations separated by a thousand miles or more. Key archaeological sites are featured in every chapter, leading us down an evidentiary trail toward the book's conclusion that a great religious movement swept Mesoamerica, the Southwest, and the Mississippi valley, sometimes because of worsening living conditions and sometimes by improved agricultural yields thanks to global warming a thousand years ago. The author also includes a guide to visiting the archaeological sites discussed in the book.

"The earth's climate warmed from the 9th through the 13th centuries CE. Named the Medieval Warm Period, it was a time of great historical change in precolonial North America, as evidenced through archaeology. While scholars have previously suggested the existence of long-distance ties between the civilizations of Mesoamerica, the American Southwest, and the Mississippi valley, no one until now has argued that climate change and religion-not trade-were the reasons for these far-flung connections. Pauketat argues that a common supernatural being-a Wind-that-brings-rain or "Thunderer" deity-emerged because of climatic factors to drive the development of a series of interrelated religious movements across the continent. These movements were based around a common circular shrine or pyramid in or on which people worshipped the powers of the wind and rain-the essential life-giving forces of global climate"-- Provided by publisher
