2984
In 2984, race is no longer defined by color or country of origin, but by three human species: the dominant land-walkers, the rebel Sea-dwellers, and the enslaved Cloud-riders. But when a Sea-dweller named Feninda turns seventeen, she learns she's the seed of a new race possessing the abilities of all three. Then she discovers another horrible truth: She's the product of power-hungry genetic scientists bent on annihilating the rebel race that gave her birth. Durak, the lead scientist on the project that developed Feninda, is one step ahead of her. Using a young man named Kertano, another creation from the same genetic project, Durak lures Feninda into captivity, and sets to enslave them both to his ends. But within the scientist's ranks are Land-walkers sympathetic to the Sea-dweller cause. Together, Feninda and Kertano unite fragmented rebel Sea-dweller groups and Land-walker sympathizers in a global revolution to dismantle the repressive government's domination. But will their insurrection bring greater freedom to earth's citizens?

A Pragmatist Orientation for the Social Sciences in Climate Policy
While economic and other social science expertise is indispensable for successful public policy-making regarding global climate change, social scientists face trade-offs between the scientific credibility, policy-relevance, and legitimacy of their policy advice. From a philosophical perspective, this book systematically addresses these trade-offs and other crucial challenges facing the integrated economic assessments of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Based on John Dewey’s pragmatist philosophy and an analysis of the value-laden nature and reliability of climate change economics, the book develops a refined science-policy model and specific guidelines for these assess...
Principles of Justice and Real-World Climate Politics
There is a major divide between the work of normative theorists and concrete climate action (or inaction) politics and policies. In this volume, authors tackle the strained relationships between principles of justice and climate politics by responding to real-world climate politics and policies, offering proposals and analyses that take concerns of feasibility seriously, and identifying immediate justice and feasibility concerns with recent proposals for climate action. Contributors look at questions of feasibility as they relate to specific international institutions like the IPCC and UNFCCC, and widely discussed principles of climate justice, including backward-looking principles like polluter pays and forward-looking principles like ability to pay. Others explore the feasibility hurdles and justice concerns that challenge popular mitigation proposals. These international and interdisciplinary contributors re-think the ways the principles of climate justice should be applied, speaking to students, research scholars, activists, and policymakers.
A Perfect Babel of Confusion
Examining the interaction of the Dutch and the English in colonial New York and New Jersey, this study charts the decline of European culture in North America. Balmer argues that the combination of political intrigue, English cultural imperialism, and internal socio-economic tensions eventually drove the Dutch away from their hereditary customs, language, and culture. He shows how this process, which played itself out most visibly and poignantly in the Dutch Reformed Church between 1664 and the American Revolution, illustrates the difficulty of maintaining non-English cultures and institutions in an increasingly English world. A Perfect Babel of Confusion redresses some of the historiographical neglect of the Middle Colonies and, in the process, sheds new light on Dutch colonial culture.
Renewable Gas
The author looks at the prospects for a transition from natural gas to low carbon gas, which could take several decades, and at how this will depend on the evolution of the fossil fuel industry. She investigates the technologies and energy systems for making the best use of renewable gas resources.
