The Evolution of Knowledge
A fundamentally new approach to the history of science and technology This book presents a new way of thinking about the history of science and technology, one that offers a grand narrative of human history in which knowledge serves as a critical factor of cultural evolution. Jürgen Renn examines the role of knowledge in global transformations going back to the dawn of civilization while providing vital perspectives on the complex challenges confronting us today in the Anthropocene—this new geological epoch shaped by humankind. Renn reframes the history of science and technology within a much broader history of knowledge, analyzing key episodes such as the evolution of writing, the emerge...
Environmental Ethics
This well-constructed, and highly original, sourcebook integrates educational materials for teaching environmental ethics with theoretical reflections. The book is set to contribute immensely to its aim of taking ethics out of philosophy departments and putting it into the streets, into villages, and on the Earth—to make ethics an everyday activity, not something left to experts and specialists. Context-based activities are presented in almost every chapter. While it acknowledges foundational theories in environmental ethics, and the work that they continue to do, it wholeheartedly embraces a growing body of literature that emphasises contextual, process-oriented, and place-based approache...
Natural Resource Governance, Grievances and Conflict
Janine Romero Valenzuela analyses the Bolivian lithium program in the largest empirical study to date with a focus on local perspectives and governance, identifying grievances and conflict dimensions. The case study shows that it is particularly an altered governance approach, the local trust in government and the high expectations that the Morales administration could create around lithium that influence local viewpoints. By applying the meaningful grievance concept on the local level, the book supports a further refinement of theories on a resource-governance-conflict-link.

Poéticas Do Educar
Apesar dos pesares, a vida toma seu rumo, ou novos rumos, como muitos querem acreditar. Em tempos de isolamento social pelo COVID-19 e frente às grandiosas e inúmeras perdas pelo coronavírus recém-descoberto, a ordem é seguir em a diante. Diante de um sentimento esperançoso e na crença de que logo teremos a normalidade das nossas vidas, tomamos a iniciativa de fazer ciência, sem deixar de lado o cenário que nos atormenta a cada novo noticiário e a cada novo dia, acreditando que dias melhores hão de vir e a poesia, mais uma vez, somará nas narrativas cotidianas. Desse modo, a terceira edição de Poéticas do Educar traz em seu subtítulo as concepções de GÊNERO, PODER E ENSINO...
The Multidimensionality of Energy Poverty in Brazil
The different dimensions that characterize energy poverty can be assessed by a Multidimensional Energy Poverty Index (MEPI). This study adapts and calculates MEPI for Brazil, contributing to understanding the evolution of incidence and intensity of energy poverty in the country. Using three different energy dimensions - physical access, appliances ownership, and affordability - we calculate MEPI for the 2002-2018 period. Results show that, despite a significant improvement in access to modern energy fuels and in the ownership of some primary appliances, Brazil still shows a significant prevalence of energy poverty. Problems related to affordability have not been widely solved, and nowadays t...
