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.

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.
Military History of Scotland

ISBN: 0748654011
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 857
Book Description
The Scottish soldier has been at war for over 2000 years. Until now, no reference work has attempted to examine this vast heritage of warfare.A Military History of Scotland offers readers an unparalleled insight into the evolution of the Scottish military tradition. This wide-ranging and extensively illustrated volume traces the military history of Scotland from pre-history to the recent conflict in Afghanistan. Edited by three leading military historians, and featuring contributions from thirty scholars, it explores the role of warfare in the emergence of a Scottish kingdom, the forging of a Scottish-British military identity, and the participation of Scots in Britain's imperial and world wars. Eschewing a narrow definition of military history, it investigates the cultural and physical dimensions of Scotland's military past such as Scottish military dress and music, the role of the Scottish soldier in art and literature, Scotland's fortifications and battlefield archaeology, and Scotland's military memorials and museum collections.
The Siege of Heaven

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.
