Electric Cars and the Resource Challenge
This book is the first to fully explore the short- and long-term impact of the global electric car rollout on the supply of raw materials. The world has gone from zero to almost 1.5 billion fossil fuel cars in circulation today, contributing significantly to the global climate crisis and necessitating a total transition to electric vehicles in the coming decades. This book responds to key questions surrounding the increase of electric car usage, such as will there be sufficient resources available to permanently supply a future world population of ten billion with electric cars? What is the risk that the supply of essential raw materials will be hampered by geopolitical problems, or that min...
Climate-Just Behavior
This book highlights the obstacles to and potential for a just transformation as a way out of the current climate crisis. This volume examines the barriers, opportunities and incentives around the pursuit of climate-just behavior, based on a comprehensive interdisciplinary and integrative analysis. It investigates how the gap between expressing concern about the climate crisis and giving it a high priority within the context of everyday behavior can be overcome. At the same time, it looks at the challenging politico-economic framework conditions such as the strong economic growth and profit orientation of capitalism. Although justice is a fundamental human motive, which should induce climate...
Regulating Foreign Direct Investment for Development
This book offers a comprehensive overview of the relationship between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) regulation and sustainable development in Bangladesh. It is widely accepted that FDI-induced development is essential for the growth of undeveloped economies, but it can create a conflict between the investors' goal of profit maximisation and the host state's pursuit of economic gains. FDI-induced development is especially important for the economy of Bangladesh, the focus of this book, which argues that a balanced regulatory approach is necessary to ensure that FDI benefits all stakeholders. In examining Bangladesh's FDI regulatory regime, the authors reveal that it is investor-centric and ...
Risk Management for Water Professionals
This book presents a comprehensive view of the different theories of risk management in water, drawing on recent studies that serve to inform the way that practitioners consider their own risk practice. While it is commonplace to see risk described in technical and engineering terms when discussing water, this book argues that this is a flawed practice that results in poor decision-making, particularly where water intersects with social elements and the community. Challenging these traditionally held notions of risk, this book introduces the psychological and sociological underpinnings to water risk decisions. Using these, it argues for a broader view of risk-based thinking and proposes a nu...
Climate Perspectives from the Congo Basin
This book considers the global question of climate change from local perspectives in the context of Central Africa. Bila-Isia Inogwabini examines attempts made by the international community to respond to the global challenges posed by climate change in the Congo Basin and highlights that these attempts have so far produced limited results. Abject poverty and the lack of academic, technical, institutional and governance capacities have made it difficult for these solutions to take root in local conditions. Taking a novel perspective, Inogwabini argues that what is needed is not austerity in the use of natural resources but rather increased material affluence for these communities, which will enable individuals to create their own ways to survive through the tides of climate change. He considers factors including social inertia, climate skepticism and lack of political structure and presents a climate change action plan that is targeted at the local level in the Congo Basin. Overall, this volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate change, global development and African studies more broadly.

Gra pozorów. Tom 1
Kiedy psycholog Aleksandra Wilk budzi się w swoim samochodzie, nie pamięta niczego z minionych siedmiu dni. Jej ostatnim wspomnieniem jest droga do sądu, w którym miała zeznawać. I zabójstwo jej męża, z którego nagranie widziała cała Polska. Niedługo potem otrzymuje pierwszą wiadomość od swojego porywacza. Rusza zegar, a mijające godziny i kolejne wiadomości bezlitośnie odliczają czas do śmierci najbliższej jej osoby. Aleksandra podejmuje prywatne śledztwo i walcząc z własną niepamięcią, odkrywa kolejne karty prawdy, która jest bardziej szokująca niż nagranie z egzekucji jej męża. Czy rzeczywistość, jaką znają wszyscy, może być grą jednego człowieka? Czy jedna śmierć może wstrząsnąć prawdą i uwięzić pewność pod lawiną pozorów? Joanna Opiat-Bojarska rzuca kośćmi sensacyjnej intrygi, rozpoczynając bezwzględną rozgrywkę, w której stawką jest życie.
