Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kelly brothers, in their sixties, are living on opposite sides of the country when they receive a call from an attorney in their small hometown of Glenville, Indiana. His request: travel to Indiana to hear the final wishes of a recently deceased former neighbor, "Uncle" Shorty. Travel across country to hear the final wishes of a man who owned little more than an old Plymouth and a checkerboard? The brothers see this as a waste of time-even though Shorty had been a kind and encouraging family friend. But the attorney insists: "After hearing Mr. Hazelton's wishes, both of your lives could be changed forever." Returning "home" after forty years will pull Joe and Darren away from their quiet family lives and thrust them into a world of memorable stories, legendary characters, old grievances, early loves, and a precarious status that elicits greed, false adulation, and even crime. But will it be worth it?

Download or read book Living with Environmental Change written by Kirsten Hastrup and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is a lived experience of changes in the environment, often destroying conventional forms of subsistence and production, creating new patterns of movement and connection, and transforming people’s imagined future. This book explores how people across the world think about environmental change and how they act upon the perception of past, present and future opportunities. Drawing on the ethnographic fieldwork of expert authors, it sheds new light on the human experience of and social response to climate change by taking us from the Arctic to the Pacific, from the Southeast Indian Coastal zone to the West-African dry-lands and deserts, as well as to Peruvian mountain communities and cities. Divided into four thematic parts - Water, Landscape, Technology, Time – this book uses rich photographic material to accompany the short texts and reflections in order to bring to life the human ingenuity and social responsibility of people in the face of new uncertainties. In an era of melting glaciers, drying lands, and rising seas, it shows how it is part and parcel of human life to take responsibility for the social community and take creative action on the basis of a localized understanding of the environment. This highly original contribution to the anthropological study of climate change is a must-read for all those wanting to understand better what climate change means on the ground and interested in a sustainable future for the Earth.
