Описание: Despite our brief tenure on planet Earth, Homo sapiens have reached an epoch--the Anthropocene--that is characterised by our species' uncanny ability to spoil our own nest. In the face of this somber reality of ecological degradation and massive species extinction, the editors ask the critical question, "What does living well look like in the Anthropocene?" It is vitally important that we turn towards the cultivation of eco-virtues, a new set of values by which to live, if there is to be hope for us and other species to continue. These essays inspire readers not just to ponder, but to embody and live the ideals of these timeless ecological virtues.
Описание: It appears possible to reduce climate change by blocking a small portion of incoming sunlight. This `solar geoengineering` is receiving increasing attention but poses its own risks and is controversial. Drawing from law, political science, and economics, this volume explores how solar geoengineering is, could, and should be governed.
Описание: Focuses on human influences on land, ocean, and the atmosphere, to determine if human activities are operating within or beyond the safe zones of our planet s biological, chemical, and physical systems. This book includes an assessment of civic understanding of Earth and its future.

Описание: Provides an urgently needed alternative to the dominant neoclassical paradigm of the free market, which has focused fatally on the boundless production and consumption of goods and services without heed to environmental consequences
Описание: The time has come for us to collectively reexamine—and ultimately move past—the concept of sustainability in environmental and natural resources law and management. The continued invocation of sustainability in policy discussions ignores the emerging reality of the Anthropocene, which is creating a world characterized by extreme complexity, radical uncertainty, and unprecedented change. From a legal and policy perspective, we must face the impossibility of even defining—let alone pursuing—a goal of “sustainability” in such a world.Melinda Harm Benson and Robin Kundis Craig propose resilience as a more realistic and workable communitarian approach to environmental governance. American environmental and natural resources laws date to the early 1970s, when the steady-state “Balance of Nature” model was in vogue—a model that ecologists have long since rejected, even before adding the complication of climate change. In the Anthropocene, a new era in which humans are the key agent of change on the planet, these laws (and American culture more generally) need to embrace new narratives of complex ecosystems and humans’ role as part of them—narratives exemplified by cultural tricksters and resilience theory. Updating Aldo Leopold’s vision of nature and humanity as a single community for the Anthropocene, Benson and Craig argue that the narrative of resilience integrates humans back into the complex social and ecological system known as Earth. As such, it empowers humans to act for a better future through law and policy despite the very real challenges of climate changeMelinda Harm Benson is an associate professor in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at the University of New Mexico.

Описание: Applies organization theory to the challenge of the Anthropocene era, a period of human impact on climate change, chemical waste, habitat destruction, and despeciation. Uses institutional theory to help analysts understand the framing of scientific facts, the counter-mobilization of skeptics, and the creation of archetypes as new social orders.
