Over the last twenty-five years, the "Africa Rising" discourse has been used to signify hope and promise for the continent, marking a break from previous pessimistic portrayals. This book critically examines that discourse, analyzing recurring themes, tropes, metaphors, and imagery.

This book explores how swarm intelligence and digital innovations can shape sustainable, resilient, and inclusive urban environments. It highlights the role of Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, and citizen engagement in optimizing energy use, enhancing public safety, and improving governance.

Plankton populations have lived in the oceans for hundreds of millions of years, performing essential functions within marine ecosystems. This book explores emerging and current topics in marine ecosystem plankton research, focusing on pelagic diversity, functioning, and productivity from a multidisciplinary structural and functional view.

Written from an interdisciplinary lens, this book presents a nuanced and contextual understanding of how the COVID-19 (re)shapes the education sector in India, a country that got its new education policy at the peak of the pandemic to revamp and restructure its educational landscape.

The Routledge Handbook of Cultural Ecosystem Services provides an overview of Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES), which are the nonmaterial aspects of benefits that people derive from nature.

This book explains soil-water interaction, acid mine drainage (AMD) problems and contamination levels in water and soil resources. Main topics include soil-water interaction, mining impact on water and soil geochemistry, mining impact on water and soil quality, AMD, OB martials impact, groundwater level depletion, and so forth.

Wild Anthropocene demonstrates how literature illuminates progressive solutions to Anthropocene challenges. It will be a useful addition to theoretical discussions on the Anthropocene for scholars, researchers and students in the environmental humanities, literary studies, ecocriticism and environmental philosophy.

A profound collection that explores Nature and the magic of the in-between, Interlude considers how humans connect with their surrounding landscapes and the creatures with whom we share the planet.

A revelatory account of the wave of arson-for-profit that hit American cities in the 1970s, and of the tenants who put out the fires and reclaimed their neighborhoods.

Many of the world's continents are bounded or traversed by vast fault networks that move laterally, like the well-known San Andreas Fault. As well as being major tectonic features of the Earth's surface, these strike-slip regimes are vitally important to the world's natural resources - petroleum, water, and geothermal energy. This book covers all aspects of these regimes; how they initiate; how they develop; and the natural resources associated with them. Numerous global case studies illustrate structural development, thermal and fluid flow implications, and commercial applicability. No other book provides such a comprehensive overview of these settings, and this volume will stand as a critical reference of the state of knowledge of strike-slip terrains and transform margins. It will be invaluable for a broad range of readers, from advanced students of geology and researchers specializing in strike-slip regimes to geoscientists and managers involved in natural resources and energy solutions.

This book helps you make good lighting decisions and will be a very useful hands-on tool for anyone involved with engineering, maintenance, purchasing, specification, retrofits, remodels, and new construction for interior or exterior lighting applications. It gives very practical ways to maintain and update existing lighting systems and how to p

Rapid and radical changes were taking place in the countryside. Originally published in 1970, People and the Countryside discusses the legislation affecting the countryside which appeared in the late 1940s and the work of the Countryside in 1970 Conferences with which the author had been closely connected.

investigates gender-sensitive spaces, design practices, and provocations that challenge the complex social and material structures that shape inequities of access and inclusion in the urban environment.

Global Futures is a provocation for us to rethink some of the key words and concepts which define the current global order. This book seeks to re-energise our desire for a better future and will interest students and researchers of sociology, politics, international relations, and global development.

- In depth analysis of humanity's relationship to the sea through art, poetry and music - Addresses major issues regarding the environment and humanity's response to the dangers it faces - Offers unique insight and helps readers find their own answers to the most important questions they have in their lives right now - Features art from all over the world - The book will accompany a season of related exhibitions at the Sainsbury Centre, University of East Anglia, Norwich, Norfolk: Ecological Frontiers, 15 March-3 August, 2025; Yuki Kihara: Paradise Camp, 15 March-3 August, 2025; Sea Inside, 7 June-21 September, 2025 Addressing one of the urgent issues of climate crisis and environmental pollution, this book explores our relationship to the sea: how we live alongside it, our bodily relationship to it, its role in the creation of a connected, global society and, perhaps most critically, the threat we pose to it. Through a broad selection of works by contemporary international artists, Can the Sea Survive Us? responds to the urgent need to resuscitate our seas. While the oceanic environment is essential to all life, its vulnerability to human action is highlighted by an ever-increasing loss of biodiversity. This book prompts the reader to imagine a future in which collective human behavior can mitigate the effects of climate change. As ocean temperatures reach record highs, it is clear that time is not on our side. This ambitious project aspires to accelerate climate awareness and deliver the critical climate action we urgently need.

This book provides a systematic review of nature-based solutions and their potential to address current environmental challenges. It will be of great interest to policymakers, practitioners and researchers involved in nature-based solutions, sustainable urban planning, environmental management and sustainable development generally.

Energy and power are fundamental to all human enterprise but while energy transactions are essential, and indeed addictive they are also, in excess, toxic in human society.

A lyrical journey through four moments in Earth's past and their lessons for our future.
