Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis quelques années, on parle beaucoup de la simplicité volontaire. Ce courant n'est-il qu'une mode passagère ? Ou s'agit-il plutôt d'un véritable mouvement social ? Qui s'y intéresse ? Comment peut-on la pratiquer au quotidien ? Existe-t-elle ailleurs dans le monde ? Autant de questions auxquelles l'auteur cherche à répondre concrètement. A ceux et celles qui découvrent cette façon de chercher le bonheur ailleurs que dans l'accumulation des biens matériels, ce guide offre un premier contact stimulant avec les richesses insoupçonnées de la simplicité volontaire, plus nécessaire que jamais devant les défis actuels de notre époque. Et les autres qui s'y intéressent déjà depuis un moment y trouveront de multiples ressources pour mieux connaître et pratiquer cet " art de vivre " : livres, groupes, sites Internet et vidéos. Vivre plus et mieux, voilà ce qu'offre la simplicité volontaire ; c'est un oui à la Vie, au bonheur et à la vraie richesse. C'est aussi une philosophie qui cherche à appliquer le mot de Gandhi : " Vivre simplement pour que les autres puissent simplement vivre ".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicolae Georgescu-Roegen (1906-1994) is considered today as perhaps the chief founder of the transdisciplinary field today known as Ecological Economics, but that he defined himself as Bioeconomics. In his later years Georgescu-Roegen intended to write a book of this title that would systematize what he considered to be the most significant results of his work. This project intends to resume this project, publishing a collection of the most relevant Georgescu-Roegen essays on Bioeconomics, including previously unpublished papers.

Download or read book Consumption Corridors written by Doris Fuchs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-04 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumption Corridors: Living a Good Life within Sustainable Limits explores how to enhance peoples’ chances to live a good life in a world of ecological and social limits. Rejecting familiar recitations of problems of ecological decline and planetary boundaries, this compact book instead offers a spirited explication of what everyone desires: a good life. Fundamental concepts of the good life are explained and explored, as are forces that threaten the good life for all. The remedy, says the book’s seven international authors, lies with the concept of consumption corridors, enabled by mechanisms of citizen engagement and deliberative democracy. Across five concise chapters, readers are invited into conversation about how wellbeing can be enriched by social change that joins "needs satisfaction" with consumerist restraint, social justice, and environmental sustainability. In this endeavour, lower limits of consumption that ensure minimal needs satisfaction for all are important, and enjoy ample precedent. But upper limits to consumption, argue the authors, are equally essential, and attainable, especially in those domains where limits enhance rather than undermine essential freedoms. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in the social sciences and humanities, and environmental and sustainability studies, as well as to community activists and the general public.

Download or read book Building an Emergency Plan written by and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2000-02-03 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building an Emergency Plan provides a step-by-step guide that a cultural institution can follow to develop its own emergency preparedness and response strategy. This workbook is divided into three parts that address the three groups generally responsible for developing and implementing emergency procedures—institution directors, emergency preparedness managers, and departmental team leaders—and discuss the role each should play in devising and maintaining an effective emergency plan. Several chapters detail the practical aspects of communication, training, and forming teams to handle the safety of staff and visitors, collections, buildings, and records. Emergencies covered include natural events such as earthquakes or floods, as well as human-caused emergencies, such as fires that occur during renovation. Examples from the Barbados Museum and Historical Society, the Museo de Arte Popular Americano in Chile, the Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut, and the Seattle Art Museum show how cultural institutions have prepared for emergencies relevant to their sites, collections, and regions.

Book excerpt: The Great Adaptation tells the story of how scientists, governments and corporations have tried to deal with the challenge that climate change poses to capitalism by promoting adaptation to the consequences of climate change, rather than combating its causes. From the 1970s neoliberal economists and ideologues have used climate change as an argument for creating more "flexibility" in society, that is for promoting more market-based solutions to environmental and social questions. The book unveils the political economy of this potent movement, whereby some powerful actors are thriving in the face of dangerous climate change and may even make a profit out of it
