Transnational Interconnections of Nature Studies and the Environmental Humanities
How is ecothinking articulated in varied research fields? What are the conjunctions and concurrences of academic endeavors in the attempt to curb environmental destruction? This collection of essays offers a multifaceted exploration of the basic tenets of environmentalism proposed by academic curricula across the world. Ecodestruction, the wilderness, rampant pollution, tourism developments, sustainability, educational interventions, and the plurivocal turn to ecotheoretical textual analysis are some of the critical perspectives and scientific findings investigated here. The book introduces a multilateral understanding of environmental consciousness, and suggests that the study of nature should not be compartmentalized into separate fields of analyses, but aim for the interconnections between disciplines, given that the physical cosmos is an unambiguous and finite host of humanity’s endeavours. The volume appeals to academics, researchers and professionals with a particular interest in the current environmental crisis, offers solid insights into the ways human societies construe nature and hopefully will embark on the protection of the ecosphere.
Ekokurgu
Ekolojik felaketler ve zararlarıyla mücadele etmenin birden fazla yolu vardır. Bu mücadelenin bir boyutu egemen yapının değiştirilmesi ise öteki ekolojik bilgelik ve doğayla empati yapmaktır. Doğaya tahakküm kuran değil, doğanın bir parçası olduğunu düşünen bireyler için edebiyat yeni umut kapıları açar. Ekokurgu, edebiyatta doğa ve çevrenin nasıl algılandığını, onlara karşı işlenmiş suçların neler olduğunu, nasıl işlendiğini ve bunlar için ne gibi çözüm yolları geliştirildiğini araştırmıştır. 21. yüzyılda yazılan ABD kökenli ekokurgu eserler incelenip, günümüz ve sonrasına ışık tutacak çözümlemeler yapılmıştır. Edebiy...
Sıfır Atık: Tüketim Kültürü ve Gıda İsrafı
Geçen hafta pişirdiğiniz brokolinin kalanı hâlâ dolapta mı duruyor? Bu hafta yaptığınız mutfak alışverişinden kalan, bozulmaya yüz tutmuş meyve ve sebzeler dolabı her açtığınızda üzgün üzgün size mi bakıyor? Yalnız değilsiniz. Yemek yaparken atık üretmeme konusunda ne kadar hassas davranırsak davranalım, çoğu zaman bunu başaramıyoruz. Marketteki ürünler belli porsiyonlarda paketlendiği için, pişireceğimiz yemeğin gerektirdiğinden daha fazla ürünle eve dönmek zorunda kalabiliyoruz. Ayrıca yemeğin ev halkı tarafından beğenilmesi ve sağlıklı olması arasında da bir denge kurmaya çalışıyoruz. Bu sürecin sonunda yenebilir durumdaki gı...
Childhood Leukemias
New insights into the molecular biology of childhood leukemias have stimulated numerous advances in diagnostic methods, strategies for risk assessment and the development of novel therapy for genetic subtypes of the diseases. Fully revised and updated, this new edition of Childhood Leukemias provides the most comprehensive, clinically-oriented and authoritative reference dedicated to these diseases. Beginning with an overview of history, cell biology, and pathology, subsequent chapters review approaches in the evaluation and management of specific leukemias, new therapeutic development and the unique pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenetics of individual patients. New chapters include epigenetics of leukemias, leukemias in patients with Down syndrome and leukemia in adolescents and young adults. The final section covers the complications associated with the disease or its treatment and supportive care during and after treatment. Authored by leading experts, this is a 'must-have' for any physician or investigator who deals with leukemias in childhood.
Beyond Nature Writing
Together, their work signals a new direction in the field and offers refreshingly original insights into a broad spectrum of texts.
A Theory of Ecological Justice
In A Theory of Ecological Justice, Baxter argues for ecological justice - that is, for treating species besides homo sapiens as having a claim in justice to a share of the Earth's resources. It explores the nature of justice claims as applied to organisms of various degrees of complexity and describes the institutional arrangements necessary to integrate the claims of ecological justice into human decision-making.
Greenwashing Culture
Greenwashing Culture examines the complicity of culture with our environmental crisis. Through its own carbon footprint, the promotion of image-friendly environmental credentials for celebrities, and the mutually beneficial engagement with big industry polluters, Toby Miller argues that culture has become an enabler of environmental criminals to win over local, national, and international communities. Topics include: the environmental liabilities involved in digital and print technologies used by cultural institutions and their consumers; Hollywood's 'green celebrities' and the immense ecological impact of their jet-setting lifestyles and filmmaking itself; high profile sponsorship deals between museums and oil and gas companies, such as BP's sponsorship of Tate Britain; radical environmental reform, via citizenship and public policy, illustrated by the actions of Greenpeace against Shell's sponsorship of Lego. This is a thought-provoking introduction to the harmful impact of greenwashing. It is essential reading for students of cultural studies and environmental studies, and those with an interest in environmental activism.
Little Night Cat
"When Tony, a little boy, bravely offers his stuffed animals--including his favorite toy cat--to the animal shelter to raise money for the needy dogs and cats, it touches his mom's heart. Later that night when Tony misses his toy, she gives him her old stuffed cat. He embraces it with such care and devotion that his mom rewards him in a way that he never imagines"--Page 4 of cover.

Crimes Against Nature
Crimes Against Nature provides a systematic account and analysis of the key concerns of green criminology, written by one of the leading authorities in the field. The book draws upon the disciplines of environmental studies, environmental sociology and environmental management as well as criminology and socio-legal studies, and draws upon a wide range of examples of crimes against the environment – ranging from toxic waste, logging, wildlife smuggling, bio-piracy, the use and transport of ozone depleting substances through to illegal logging and fishing, water pollution and animal abuse. The book is divided into three parts: Part 1 sets out theoretical approaches and perspectives on the subject; Part 2 explores the (national and international) dimensions of environmental crime and the explanations for it; Part 3 deals with the range of responses to environmental crime - environmental law enforcement, regulation, environmental crime prevention and the role of global institutions and movements.
