Download or read book Human Extinction The Ignored Threat written by Michal H. Hall and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-17 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After pointing out that there are threats to our extinction of which most people are aware, this book looks at a very big threat that is being totally ignored. It has a chapter talking about why it is being ignored. However before that, in recognition of the fact that most people know nothing about overpopulation, there is a chapter explaining what overpopulation is and why we are ignoring it. The book then addresses our fixation on our escapes and childish diversions. It becomes obvious that we have become a people of escape that are diverting our thoughts and attention into trivia. The book follows this by discussing all of the things that will happen if we keep on ignoring overpopulation. This provides a gruesome picture of how our species will eventually die-out. This involves the ecosystems collapse leaving us with nothing such as food, water, air we can breathe, marine life, trees for oxygen or plants and animals. All of this will cause our species to turn on itself in fear, panic and chaotic violence that will soon lead to extinction. However the next chapter is positive, because it maps out what will happen if we don't ignore it and do address it. That is because this would mean that our great grandchildren would live and live a life that would be much more pleasant. Of course, this would demand some things that would be very hard to sell. For instance every couple in the world would need to have no more than one child, and they would also be encouraged to have no child at all. Only then would we reduce our population on the Earth to a point where the Earth and its ecosystems could sustain us. The book also addresses all of the things that would vehemently fight having one child to make it very hard to achieve. However it also offers us some hope that it will be done and our future will be secure.

Download or read book Contested Powers written by John-Andrew McNeish and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the global North the commoditization of creativity and knowledge under the banner of a creative economy is being posed as the post-industrial answer to dependency on labour and natural resources. Not only does it promise a more stable and sustainable future, but an economy focused on intellectual property is more environmentally friendly, so it is suggested. Contested Powers argues that the fixes being offered by this model are bluffs; development as witnessed in Latin American energy politics and governance remains hindered by a global division of labour and nature that puts the capacity for technological advancement in private hands. The authors call for a multi-layered understanding of sovereignty, arguing that it holds the key to undermining rigid accounts of the relationship between carbon and democracy, energy and development, and energy and political expression. Furthermore, a critical focus on energy politics is crucial to wider debates on development and sustainability. Contested Powers is essential reading for those wondering how energy resources are converted into political power and why we still value the energy we take from our surroundings more than the means of its extraction.
Download or read book The Persistence of Melancholia in Arts and Culture written by Andrea Bubenik and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the history and continuing relevance of melancholia as an amorphous but richly suggestive theme in literature, music, and visual culture, as well as philosophy and the history of ideas. Inspired by Albrecht Dürer’s engraving Melencolia I (1514)—the first visual representation of artistic melancholy—this volume brings together contributions by scholars from a variety of disciplines. Topics include: Melencolia I and its reception; how melancholia inhabits landscapes, soundscapes, figures and objects; melancholia in medical and psychological contexts; how melancholia both enables and troubles artistic creation; and Sigmund Freud’s essay "Mourning and Melancholia" (1917).

Download or read book Global Fracture written by Michael Hudson and published by Pluto Press. This book was released on 2005-04-20 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hudson is one of the tiny handful of economic thinkers in today's world who are forcing us to look at old questions in startling new ways. Alvin Toffler, best-selling author of Future Shock and The Third WaveThis new and updated edition of Michael Hudson's classic political economy text explores how and why the US came to achieve world economic hegemony.Originally published as the sequel to Hudson's bestselling Super Imperialism, Global Fracture explores American economic strategy during a key period in world history. In 1973, many of the world's most indebted countries sought to free themselves of trade dependency and the debt trap by creating a New International Economic Order (NIEO). This aimed to improve the terms of trade for raw materials and build up agicultural and industrial self-sufficiency. Global Fracture shows how the US undermined this progressive initiative and instead pushed for financial dominance over the rest of the world. Today, the NIEO is a forgotten interlude, its optimism replaced by the financial austerity imposed by the IMF and the World Bank.Exploring how America achieved its economic aims, and tracing the implications this has had through subsequent decades, Michael Hudson covers various topics including trade embargoes, changing US attitudes to foreign aid, the rise of protectionism, government regulation of international investments, the impact on specific industries including the oil industry, the implications of the new economic order and the future of war.

Download or read book Fungible Life written by Aihwa Ong and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Fungible Life Aihwa Ong explores the dynamic world of cutting-edge bioscience research, offering critical insights into the complex ways Asian bioscientific worlds and cosmopolitan sciences are entangled in a tropical environment brimming with the threat of emergent diseases. At biomedical centers in Singapore and China scientists map genetic variants, disease risks, and biomarkers, mobilizing ethnicized "Asian" bodies and health data for genomic research. Their differentiation between Chinese, Indian, and Malay DNA makes fungible Singapore's ethnic-stratified databases that come to "represent" majority populations in Asia. By deploying genomic science as a public good, researchers reconfigure the relationships between objects, peoples, and spaces, thus rendering "Asia" itself as a shifting entity. In Ong's analysis, Asia emerges as a richly layered mode of entanglements, where the population's genetic pasts, anxieties and hopes, shared genetic weaknesses, and embattled genetic futures intersect. Furthermore, her illustration of the contrasting methods and goals of the Biopolis biomedical center in Singapore and BGI Genomics in China raises questions about the future direction of cosmopolitan science in Asia and beyond.
