This book was released on 2021-05-26 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O livro A sustentabilidade ambiental da agricultura e de florestas tropicais: uma visão científica, ecológica, política e social é quase um pequeno testamento para nós pesquisadores, no qual apresentamos, ao longo dos seus capítulos, algumas considerações sobre a sustentabilidade ambiental em diversos aspectos. Gostaríamos de mostrar aos brasileiros a fundamental importância de preservar o nosso deslumbrante ambiente e deixá-los cientes da grande necessidade dessa preservação para o futuro do Brasil e, talvez, até da humanidade. Embora não sendo o "pulmão" do mundo como se alegava antigamente, a manutenção e a saúde das florestas e de todos os diversos biomas vegetais são indispensáveis para a manutenção do clima, tendo um efeito essencial para impedir o aumento exagerado das temperaturas e o excesso de tempestades, contribuindo para a diminuição dos gases de efeito estufa. Neste livro contamos sobre os serviços ecossistêmicos e da agricultura altamente produtiva para podermos alimentar o grande contingente humano sempre em crescimento, como, também, fornecer um alimento mais saudável e sem resíduos tóxicos (Capítulo 1). Falamos sobre as florestas e as razões múltiplas para que sejam preservadas (Capítulo 2). Frisamos a importância da saúde do solo e da influência dos micro-organismos para uma agricultura com equilíbrio ecológico (Capítulo 3). Mostramos, também, os tipos de cultivo e de manejo agrícola e seus resultados, além de salientar a sua sustentabilidade (Capítulo 4). Abordamos a importância da agricultura familiar e da legislação a respeito (Capítulo 5). Por fim, apresentamos considerações sobre a sustentabilidade agrícola e florestal frente à política ambiental vigente (Capítulo 6).

Download or read book Embodied Care written by Maurice Hamington and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until now, ethicists have said little about the body, limiting their comments on it to remarks made in passing or, at best, devoting a chapter to the subject. Embodied Care is the first work to argue for the body's centrality to care ethics, doing so by analyzing our corporeality at the phenomenological level. It develops the idea that our bodies are central to our morality, paying particular attention to the ways we come to care for one another. Hamington's argues that human bodies are "built to care"; as a result, embodiment must be recognized as a central factor in moral consideration. He takes the reader on an exciting journey from modern care ethics to Merleau-Ponty's philosophy of the body and then to Jane Addams's social activism and philosophy. The ideas in Embodied Care do not lead to yet another competing theory of morality; rather, they progress through theory and case studies to suggest that no theory of morality can be complete without a full consideration of the body.
Download or read book Nature Ethics written by Marti Kheel and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2008 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Nature Ethics: An Ecofeminist Perspective, Marti Kheel explores the underlying worldview of nature ethics, offering an alternative ecofeminist perspective. She focuses on four prominent representatives of holist philosophy: two early conservationists (Theodore Roosevelt and Aldo Leopold) and two contemporary philosophers (Holmes Rolston III, and transpersonal ecologist Warwick Fox). Kheel argues that in directing their moral allegiance to abstract constructs (e.g. species, the ecosystem, or the transpersonal Self) these influential nature theorists represent a masculinist orientation that devalues concern for individual animals. Seeking to heal the divisions among the seemingly disparate movements and philosophies of feminism, animal advocacy, environmental ethics, and holistic health, Kheel proposes an ecofeminist philosophy that underscores the importance of empathy and care for individual beings as well as larger wholes.

Download or read book Postcolonial Cinema Studies written by Sandra Ponzanesi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays foregrounds the work of filmmakers in theorizing and comparing postcolonial conditions, recasting debates in both cinema and postcolonial studies. Postcolonial cinema is presented, not as a rigid category, but as an optic through which to address questions of postcolonial historiography, geography, subjectivity, and epistemology. Current circumstances of migration and immigration, militarization, economic exploitation, racial and religious conflict, enactments of citizenship, and cultural self-representation have deep roots in colonial/postcolonial/neocolonial histories. Contributors deeply engage the tense asymmetries bequeathed to the contemporary world by the multiple,diverse, and overlapping histories of European, Soviet, U.S., and multi-national imperial ventures. With interdisciplinary expertise, they discover and explore the conceptual temporalities and spatialities of postcoloniality, with an emphasis on the politics of form, the ‘postcolonial aesthetics’ through which filmmakers challenge themselves and their viewers to move beyond national and imperial imaginaries. Contributors include: Jude G. Akudinobi, Kanika Batra, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Shohini Chaudhuri, Julie F. Codell, Sabine Doran, Hamish Ford, Claudia Hoffmann, Anikó Imre, Priya Jaikumar, Mariam B. Lam, Paulo de Medeiros, Sandra Ponzanesi, Richard Rice, Mireille Rosello and Marguerite Waller.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of International Organizations written by Jacob Katz Cogan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 1345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtually every important question of public policy today involves an international organization. From trade to intellectual property to health policy and beyond, governments interact with international organizations in almost everything they do. Increasingly, individual citizens are directly affected by the work of international organizations. Aimed at academics, students, practitioners, and lawyers, this book gives a comprehensive overview of the world of international organizations today. It emphasizes both the practical aspects of their organization and operation, and the conceptual issues that arise at the junctures between nation-states and international authority, and between law and politics. While the focus is on inter-governmental organizations, the book also encompasses non-governmental organizations and public policy networks. With essays by the leading scholars and practitioners, the book first considers the main international organizations and the kinds of problems they address. This includes chapters on the organizations that relate to trade, humanitarian aid, peace operations, and more, as well as chapters on the history of international organizations. The book then looks at the constituent parts and internal functioning of international organizations. This addresses the internal management of the organization, and includes chapters on the distribution of decision-making power within the organizations, the structure of their assemblies, the role of Secretaries-General and other heads, budgets and finance, and other elements of complex bureaucracies at the international level. This book is essential reading for scholars, practitioners, and students alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Global Environmental Politics develops a new, critical approach to global environmental politics. It argues that the major power structures of world politics are deeply problematic in ecological terms, and that they cannot be easily used to resolve major environmental challenges such as global warming. Instead of simply advocating the construction of new international institutions to respond to such challenges, therefore, the book argues that the construction of alternative social and political structures in necessary.

Download or read book Dangerous Sanctuaries written by Sarah Kenyon Lischer and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1990s, refugee crises in the Balkans, Central Africa, the Middle East, and West Africa have led to the international spread of civil war. In Central Africa alone, more than three million people have died in wars fueled, at least in part, by internationally supported refugee populations. The recurring pattern of violent refugee crises prompts the following questions: Under what conditions do refugee crises lead to the spread of civil war across borders? How can refugee relief organizations respond when militants use humanitarian assistance as a tool of war? What government actions can prevent or reduce conflict?To understand the role of refugees in the spread of conflict, Sarah Kenyon Lischer systematically compares violent and nonviolent crises involving Afghan, Bosnian, and Rwandan refugees. Lischer argues against the conventional socioeconomic explanations for refugee-related violence—abysmal living conditions, proximity to the homeland, and the presence of large numbers of bored young men. Lischer instead focuses on the often-ignored political context of the refugee crisis. She suggests that three factors are crucial: the level of the refugees' political cohesion before exile, the ability and willingness of the host state to prevent military activity, and the contribution, by aid agencies and outside parties, of resources that exacerbate conflict.Lischer's political explanation leads to policy prescriptions that are sure to be controversial: using private security forces in refugee camps or closing certain camps altogether. With no end in sight to the brutal wars that create refugee crises, Dangerous Sanctuaries is vital reading for anyone concerned with how refugee flows affect the dynamics of conflicts around the world.
