Britain and the Arctic
British interest in the Arctic has returned to heights not seen since the end of the Cold War; concerns about climate change, resources, trade, and national security are all impacted by profound environmental and geopolitical changes happening in the Arctic. Duncan Depledge investigates the increasing geopolitical significance of the Arctic and explores why it took until now for Britain – once an ‘Arctic state’ itself – to notice how close it is to these changes, what its contemporary interests in the region are, and whether the British government’s response in the arenas of science, defence, and commerce is enough. This book will be of interest to both academics and practitioners seeking to understand contemporary British interest and activity in the Arctic.
Audiovisual Tourism Promotion
This book deploys the concept of ‘audiovisual tourism promotion’ to account for the promotional functions performed by a vast array of diverse media texts including tourism films, feature films, digital videos conceived for online circulation, video games and TV commercials. From this point of view, this volume fills a major gap in the literature by providing the first comprehensive critical overview of audiovisual tourism promotion as a distinct media field. In this book, the study of audiovisual tourism promotion is characterised by an interdisciplinary approach which combines film studies, media studies, human geography, sociology, tourism studies, history, postcolonial and gender studies. This book will appeal to a wide range of students and scholars from different disciplines.
The European Union and the Arctic
The European Union and the Arctic brings together academics from a range of disciplines to discuss the EU's potential roles in shaping Arctic governance. The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the EU’s current Arctic policy framework. The second part focuses on the EU’s engagement with Arctic governance at the regional level and encompasses the EU’s engagement with the so-called Arctic Five (five coastal States of the Arctic Ocean), providing examples of some of those relationships. The third part takes a sectoral approach, analysing the EU’s potential contribution to regulation of key human activities in the Arctic, including shipping, fisheries, oil and gas operations, and marine mammals.

Innovationsbyen
Den bog du læser nu kan få afgørende betydning for verdens fremtid. Den beskriver nemlig for første gang helt nye koncepter, der kan accellerere innovationen af alt fra teknologi til politiske styreformer, som i sidste ende blandt andet kan redde jorden fra en klimakrise, og sikre alt liv mod overgreb. Formålet er at vise hvordan vi i Danmark kan skabe nye indkomster, da vi om ganske få årtier kommer til at mangle rigtig mange penge, hvis man vil forbedre eller bare bevare velfærdsniveauet. Rapporten kommer med et forslag til en global og revolutionær innovationsby, som hvis den bliver realiseret som planlagt vil kunne mangedoble Danmarks indkomster til statskassen - år efter år. ...
