The Rational Optimist
Author: Matt RidleyPublisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0061452068
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 482
Book Description
For two hundred years the pessimists have dominated public discourse, insisting that things will soon be getting much worse. But in fact, life is getting better—and at an accelerating rate. Food availability, income, and life span are up; disease, child mortality, and violence are down all across the globe. Africa is following Asia out of poverty; the Internet, the mobile phone, and container shipping are enriching people's lives as never before. In his bold and bracing exploration into how human culture evolves positively through exchange and specialization, bestselling author Matt Ridley does more than describe how things are getting better. He explains why. An astute, refreshing, and revelatory work that covers the entire sweep of human history—from the Stone Age to the Internet—The Rational Optimist will change your way of thinking about the world for the better.
Decolonizing Nature
Author: William (Bill) AdamsPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136568611
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
British imperialism was almost unparalleled in its historical and geographical reach, leaving a legacy of entrenched social transformation in nations and cultures in every part of the globe. Colonial annexation and government were based on an all-encompassing system that integrated and controlled political, economic, social and ethnic relations, and required a similar annexation and control of natural resources and nature itself. Colonial ideologies were expressed not only in the progressive exploitation of nature but also in the emerging discourses of conservation. At the start of the 21st century, the conservation of nature is of undiminished importance in post-colonial societies, yet the legacy of colonial thinking endures. What should conservation look like today, and what (indeed, whose) ideas should it be based upon? Decolonizing Nature explores the influence of the colonial legacy on contemporary conservation and on ideas about the relationships between people, polities and nature in countries and cultures that were once part of the British Empire. It locates the historical development of the theory and practice of conservation - at both the periphery and the centre - firmly within the context of this legacy, and considers its significance today. It highlights the present and future challenges to conservationists of contemporary global neo-colonialism The contributors to this volume include both academics and conservation practitioners. They provide wide-ranging and insightful perspectives on the need for, and practical ways to achieve new forms of informed ethical engagement between people and nature.

Pages : 361
Book Description
New and Updated Edition Who owns Scotland? How did they get it? What happened to all the common land in Scotland? Has the Scottish Parliament made any difference? Can we get our common good land back? In this book, Andy Wightman updates the statistics of landownership in Scotland and explores how and why landowners got their hands on the millions of acres of land that were once held in common. He tells the untold story of how Scotland's legal establishment and politicians managed to appropriate land through legal fixes. Have attempts to redistribute this power more equitably made any difference, and what are the full implications of the recent debt-fuelled housing bubble, the Smith Commission and the new Scottish Government's proposals on land reform? For all those with an interest in urban and rural land in Scotland, this updated edition of The Poor Had No Lawyers provides a fascinating analysis of one the most important political questions in Scotland.
The Siege of Heaven
Author: Tony GoslingPublisher:
ISBN: 9781634241786

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Some say the arrival of the internet has made it impossible for governments and corporations to keep secrets from or otherwise bamboozle the public, but the truth is just the opposite. As the ownership of the mainstream media consolidates, so the new media barons have a much tighter grip on what is published, while journalists are removed ever further from the process. Tony Gosling worked as a reporter for the BBC and saw these changes taking place within the corporation, witnessing the organization turn from a positive force into a mouthpiece of an increasingly corrupt state and the tiny elite group that has controlled humanity for centuries. Never before seen in print, these articles reveal the hidden wiring of the Western Establishment. They point to the elusive positive side of what Tony sees as an inevitable, orchestrated WWIII and economic collapse. Each one offers, too, a vision of social justice where people and communities can properly fulfill their potential. Tony includes many reference articles, including a hidden history chronology from the dawn of time and into the future. In the spirit of the short-lived 60s and 70s cultural freedom, drawing on Hendrix's "All Along The Watchtower" for inspiration, this volume is an accessible "idiots guide" for the cataclysms to come.
