The Green Belt of Europe
The Iron Curtain, running from the Barents Sea to the Black Sea, divided Europe for almost 40 years and no activity was allowed in this "forbidden" zone. When it fell in 1989, it left a strip of land that runs the entire length of Europe and that has remained comparatively undisturbed - a green belt. The Green Belt initiative aims to integrate this entire strip of land with its key habitats and ecological areas as part of an international network of valuable ecosystems. This book provides background information on the initiative, reviews current activities in a number of case studies and looks at how the initiative can fit into current and future global efforts to protect European biodiversity.
Global Interdependence
Global Interdependence provides a new account of world history from the end of World War II to the present, an era when transnational communities began to challenge the long domination of the nation-state. In this single-volume survey, leading scholars elucidate the political, economic, cultural, and environmental forces that have shaped the planet in the past sixty years. Offering fresh insight into international politics since 1945, Wilfried Loth examines how miscalculations by both the United States and the Soviet Union brought about a Cold War conflict that was not necessarily inevitable. Thomas Zeiler explains how American free-market principles spurred the creation of an entirely new e...
The Great Acceleration
The Earth has entered a new age—the Anthropocene—in which humans are the most powerful influence on global ecology. Since the mid-twentieth century, the accelerating pace of energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and population growth has thrust the planet into a massive uncontrolled experiment. The Great Acceleration explains its causes and consequences, highlighting the role of energy systems, as well as trends in climate change, urbanization, and environmentalism. More than any other factor, human dependence on fossil fuels inaugurated the Anthropocene. Before 1700, people used little in the way of fossil fuels, but over the next two hundred years coal became the most important energy ...

Greening Europe
Today, the environment seems omnipresent in European policy within and beyond the European Union. The idea of a shared European environment, however, has come a long way and is still being contested. Greening Europe focuses on the many ways people have interacted with nature and made it an issue of European concern. The authors ask how notions of Europe mattered in these activities and they expose the many entanglements of activists across the subcontinent who set out to connect and network, and to exchange knowledge, worldviews, and strategies that exceeded their national horizons. Moving beyond human agency, the handbook also highlights the eminent role nature played in both "greening" Europe and making Europe a shared environment.
Handbuch Interkulturelle Öffnung
Immer mehr Menschen arbeiten in Deutschland daran, Organisationen interkulturell zu öffnen. Es geht um Barrierefreiheit und Zugangsgerechtigkeit, die unabhängig vom kulturellen Ursprung sind. Es geht um inter- und transkulturelle Vielfalt. Doch für eine effektive, theoretisch fundierte und gleichzeitig praktisch wirksame Umsetzung dieser Ziele fehlen vielfach die Kenntnisse grundlegender Zusammenhänge, wie es auch an inspirierenden Praxisbeispiele mangelt. Das »Handbuch Interkulturelle Öffnung« nimmt sich dieser Herausforderung an, indem es fachlich fundierte Informationen und praktische Anregungen in Form von Best-Practice-Beispielen und Tools bereitstellt. Es bietet Orientierungshilfe im Dschungel von Interkulturalität und Change Management in den Handlungsfeldern Politik, Verwaltung, Kirche, Bildung, Wirtschaft, Gesundheitswesen, Ehrenamt, Beratung, Sport.Die Tools sind auch als Download zu erwerben und können bei Bedarf im DIN-A4-Format ausgedruckt werden.
