Are zoos an anachronism in the 21st century when we can watch animals from our couches in close-up in their natural habitat without worrying about cruelty? Should they go the way of other bygone era 'spectacles' and 'attractions' that we now regard as barbaric? There are vocal campaigners and activists who believe so. Heather Browning and Walter Veit disagree, but they acknowledge there is a case to be answered. In What are Zoos for? they test the common justifications for zoos (entertainment, education, research, conservation) against the evidence and suggest what the best zoos of the future should look like to ensure that they are primarily for animals and not just for people.

In 2019, after decades of ecological damage from oil, Waorani people took to the streets of Amazonian Ecuador to protest drilling on their ancestral lands. Working with international activists, lawyers, and other Indigenous groups, they successfully sued the government for selling oil concessions without prior consent. Placing their struggle for territorial autonomy in the global spotlight, this unprecedented legal victory for environmental rights by an Indigenous people reflected the new forms of collaboration emerging in contemporary Amazonia. Translating Worlds, Defending Land explores how Waorani collaborations, whether with environmentalists or academic researchers, bring about new possibilities, challenges, and imaginative horizons. Based on fieldwork over a period of twenty-five years, Casey High interrogates what these engagements mean for Indigenous communities and how they offer critical reflection on collaboration as a concept, method, and practice. The alliances, misunderstandings, and conflicts that emerge in these contexts challenge the assumption that productive collaborations reflect--or require--shared purposes, generating important implications for an engaged anthropology open to reconsidering what constitutes ethnographic knowledge and who it is for. As some young Waorani adults become not just community leaders or environmental citizens, but also skilled researchers and ethnographers, translating between Indigenous understandings of land and the Western language of conservation, they create a powerful new voice in international environmental politics.

ReadingSilent Springas an outgrowth of Rachel Carson's love with Dorothy Freeman, Maxwell argues for the power of queer love now in the fight against climate change. There is something major missing from most accounts of Silent Spring and its impact: namely, Dorothy Freeman, with whom Rachel Carson had a love relationship for over a decade. Freeman had a summer house with her husband, Stan, on the island of Southport, Maine, where Carson settled after the success of her first bestseller, The Sea Around Us. Correspondence shows the women developing strong feelings as they connect over their shared pleasure in the rocky coast. In this moving new book, political theorist Lida Maxwell offers close readings that suggest Carson's relationship with Freeman was central to her writing of Silent Spring--a work whose defense of vibrant nonhuman nature allowed Carson and Freeman's love to flourish and for the pair to become their most authentic selves. What Maxwell calls Carson and Freeman's "queer love" unsettled their heteronormative ideas of the good life as based in bourgeois private life, and led Carson to an increasingly critical view of capitalism and its effects on nonhuman nature and human lives alike. From these women's experience Maxwell compellingly makes the case for an alternative democratic climate politics based on learning how to tune into authentic desire. Read through this lens, Carson's work begins to look different and shows us not that the human incursion into nature is dangerous, but that a particular relationship is: the loveless using up of nature for capitalism. When Carson and Freeman correspond in excited detail about the algae, anemones, and veery thrushes of the Maine coast, they give us a glimpse of a different, more loving use of nature. Inspired by Carson and Freeman's deep care for one another, Maxwell reveals how a form of loving available to all of us can help reshape political desire amidst contemporary environmental crises.

Combining historical, social and regulative analysis, this book builds a compelling critique of 'frontier thinking' and demonstrates its pernicious amplification in contemporary human affairs.This book systematically identifies the ways in which images of nature and society are formed by historically developed frontier-oriented narratives. It illustrates how these narratives have underpinned much Anglo-American and Anglocentric thought, and have even come to form our assumptions about social and environmental organisation - in ways that are relevant not least to the present environmental crisis. The book confronts these conceptions at large, showing that they never held empirically, and contrasts them with the situation in northern Europe, where diverging assumptions are integral to this day. Through this juxtaposition, the book illustrates not only the pervasiveness of structures of understanding in steering policy, but also the varying traditions in different countries regarding how understandings of the environment can be formed.The study highlights how historical thought patterns, formed for very different reasons than exist today, continue to shape our assumptions - about nature, the relation between urban and rural areas, and our understanding of ourselves in relation to the environmental crisis. The book will be of wide interest to a range of academics and students in the fields of geography, anthropology, environmental studies, sociology, political science and development studies, amongst others.

Polysaccharide gums have a wide range of applications due to their hydrophilic properties. They have been used as a gelling agent, encapsulating agent, thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer. Sourcing natural gums from botanical and plant sources has become an important focus in producing acceptable food ingredients in liquids and semi-solid forms. This is mainly because of the positive attitude of consumers toward plant-based gums rather than other gums from animal and microbial sources.Gum karaya, also known as Indian tragacanth, is a vegetable gum produced as an exudate by trees of the genus Sterculia. Gum karaya has very strong swelling properties, high viscosity, and very poor solubility because of its acetyl groups. Therefore, it is mainly used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Gum karaya is one of the least soluble gums used for many industries such as petroleum and gas, textile, paper and pulp, leather and allied products, ammunition and explosives, electrical appliances, adhesives, confectionery, medicine, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.Because of the crude tapping method and overexploitation, the population of karaya trees has markedly declined. In the absence of cultivation of this tree on the regular plantation, there is grave concern about the loss of wild germplasm of S. aurens, As Gum karaya is vital for the tribal economy and its trade value is substantial. There is a pressing need to develop a scientific and sustainable tapping method to increase the yield and ensure the survival of the tapped trees. There is also a need for a large-scale plantation of Gum Karaya. People are becoming health conscious and are taking natural products as food ingredients. This book will be useful to all the people interested in natural food additives.- This book gives the details of Gum karaya-yielding species and their distribution.- Scientific methods of Gum tapping are given for sustainable gum production.- Propagation methods, both field and in vitro, are given.- Uses of gum karaya, in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food are given.- Genetic diversity and biotechnological intervention for the improvement of Gum karaya-yielding species.- Threats and conservation of gum karaya-yielding species are given.

La historia temprana de nuestro planeta abarca extensiones de tiempo tan vastas, que prácticamente pierde sentido hablar en términos de años, siglos e incluso milenios. En su lugar, los paleontólogos y científicos que estudian la geocronología dividen el tiempo en "periodos" y "eras". La opinión actual de la ciencia es que el planeta Tierra tiene unos 4.600 millones años de antigüedad. Los primeros cuatro mil millones de años de su desarrollo se conocen como el periodo Precámbrico. Durante los primeros mil millones de años aproximadamente, no hubo vida en la Tierra. Luego aparecieron las primeras formas de vida unicelulares, las primeras bacterias y algas. No sabemos de dónde vinieron, o incluso si se originaron en este planeta. Este desarrollo gradual continuó hasta hace unos cuatro mil millones de años, cuando de repente (¡en términos geológicos, claro!) comenzaron a surgir formas de vida más complejas. Los científicos llaman "era paleozoica" (o simplemente "el Paleozoico") a este tiempo de explosión de nuevas formas de vida, que se extendió desde hace unos 541 hasta hace 250 millones de años (Ma). Primero en los océanos y luego en la tierra, comenzaron a aparecer nuevas criaturas y plantas de una variedad desconcertante. Para en final de este periodo, la vida en la Tierra había estallado en una miríada de formas complejas que llenaban prácticamente cada hábitat y nicho disponible en los mares y en el único continente del planeta en ese entonces, Pangea. Pero entonces ocurrió un misterioso acontecimiento, llamado "la Gran Mortandad" por los primeros paleontólogos, que acabó con el 95% de toda la vida en la Tierra. Nadie sabe a ciencia cierta qué lo causó, pero el efecto de este cataclismo fue como si alguien hubiese oprimido un gran botón cósmico de "reinicio". Pasarían 30 millones de años antes de que comenzara de nuevo el desarrollo de la vida en la Tierra. El siguiente periodo en la historia de la Tierra se conoce como el Mesozoico, o la era mesozoica, que duró desde hace unos 266 hasta hace 66 millones de años. Esta era se divide a su vez en tres periodos: el Triásico, el Jurásico y el Cretácico. Durante el Mesozoico, un tipo de vida llegó a dominar el planeta de forma más completa y por un periodo más largo de lo que se había visto antes o se vería después; esta fue la "era de los reptiles". Comenzando en el Triásico, pero especialmente en el periodo Jurásico, los reptiles dominaron los océanos, la tierra e incluso los cielos. Fue durante el Jurásico que los reptiles afianzaron su dominio y surgieron algunas de las especies prehistóricas mejor conocidas hoy en día. Nunca ha habido nada como este periodo en términos del éxito de un tipo de criatura en particular. Durante casi doscientos millones de años, los reptiles fueron la única forma de vida significativa en la Tierra. Tan exitosos y diversos fueron, que evolucionaron para aprovechar todos los hábitats disponibles, y ningún otro tipo de criatura de gran tamaño tuvo oportunidad de desarrollarse. Para poner en perspectiva esos doscientos millones de años de dominio de los reptiles, la extensión completa de la historia humana registrada, el tiempo transcurrido desde que las personas pasaron de ser tribus de cazadores-recolectores primitivos y nómadas a formar sociedades reconocibles, abarca menos de seis mil años. En contexto, si toda la historia del planeta se desplegara a lo largo de un campo de fútbol americano, el periodo de dominio de los reptiles comenzaría a partir de la línea de 5 yardas y continuaría a lo largo de 12 pies (3,6 m). Por su parte, toda la historia humana ocuparía una delgadísima franja al final del campo, menos ancha que un cabello humano.

South Asian Goddesses and the Natural Environment is a multidisciplinary collection of 11 essays ranging from the pre-Vedic to the modern era and incorporating research on Hindu, Buddhist and tribal cultures. The authors ask whether the worship of goddesses, strongly linked to fertility rituals, might have mitigated the ecological decline of South Asia in the pre-British and post-colonial eras. The manifold powers of the Devi, whether nurturing or destructive, could be constructed as companions to the unstoppable forces of Nature. This binary paradigm, however, is misleading. For millions of South Asian people, the Devi is Nature and Nature is She. Amongst scholars, the connections between the South Asian Goddesses and the natural environment have been debated and contested for centuries. This collection of essays, the last of a trilogy on the Devi or iconic female by Australian scholars and their collaborators, interrogates the paradoxes of worshipping the feminine divine and yet ignoring the natural environment that validates Her existence. Historical and cultural sources, many of them in Sanskrit, point to the Devi-Nature complex but in ignoring the role of human agency, appear to exonerate society from taking responsibility for the ecological devastation manifested throughout the South Asian region. The Devi is omnipotent but in the role of the nurturing Mother she will not intervene if we remain passive. South Asian deities teach us to respect the environment, a necessary but insufficient condition for compelling us to behave in a manner that respects the wonders of the universe.

The Bible and Sustainability addresses the ecological crisis the world is facing, and what the Bible can teach us about sustainable living. Drawing on the interest in the ecological crisis generated by Laudato Si, this book attempts to push the discussion beyond intellectual perspectives and help students and researchers apply biblical wisdom to the UN sustainable development goals.It begins with a discussion of what sustainability is, and how people, planet, and profit are affected by unsustainable practices, before exploring four specific biblical practices and their relationship with sustainability: covenants, the sabbatical year, monastic communities, and the fruit of the spirit. It also discusses the creation account and personalistic nature texts, considering the social relationship that humans have with nature. Finally, it examines an Augustinian perspective to sustainability which encourages sharing, common ownership of property, and living simply. The book concludes by inviting governments, civil society organizations, and academia to bring these biblical practices and passages into the ecological debate.It is an outstanding resource for researchers of the Bible and environment, and Religion and environment more generally.
