Описание: Climate change is viewed as a primarily scientific, economic, or political issue. While acknowledging the legitimacy of these perspectives, the author argues that we should respond to climate change first and foremost as a case of systematic and structural violence.

Описание: Biotech is an industry driven by curiosity, and that curiosity often delivers great rewards. The biotech revolution in Massachusetts is about more than clearing away eyesores of decaying structures and replacing them with gleaming new buildings. It has been a tremendous generator of new companies, jobs, hope, and wealth. Biotech has helped to replace stagnant business models with dynamic new ones. In his book, The Massachusetts Biotech Boom, author Kevin M. O'Brien, CFP(R), AIF(R), CAP(R), documents the general history and celebrates the milestones and breakthroughs of the Massachusetts biotechnology industry. O'Brien identifies the entrepreneurial and executive career opportunities within the biotech space while identifying and clarifying the risks that persist to this day, both generally and specific to the industry in Massachusetts. O'Brien presents a comprehensive five-step wealth management process, designed for you to enjoy, enhance, protect, and ultimately transfer your wealth efficiently and effectively. Illustrating a path to navigate one's career and business exploits toward a successful exit, O'Brien provides you with a clear view of the biotech industry landscape to show you ways of benefiting from the boom while remaining aware of the risks, and to grow and keep your wealth intact.

Описание: I felt like I was living in a world teetering on the brink ... Life as a stay-in-bed husband turned out to be a lot more complicated than I expected. My wife was pregnant with a baby that possibly wasn't mine.
My old man was engaged in a war with the feminist movement that he was never going to win. And my old dear was making a lot of unexplained trips to Russia. Throw into the mix an eldest son with a possible sex addiction and three infant sons who were so thick they made me look like Edward Einstein.
I might have actually gone over the edge if it wasn't for the belief of my daughter and the challenge of helping her win the greatest prize that South Dublin has to offer - the Strictly Mount Anville glitter ball.
The climate is changing as an unintended consequence of human industrialization and consumerism. Recently some scientists and engineers have suggested climate engineering technological solutions that would intentionally change the climate to make it more hospitable. This approach focuses on large-scale technologies to alleviate the worst effects of anthropogenic climate change. This book considers the moral, philosophical, and religious questions raised by such proposals, bringing Christian theology and ethics into the conversation about climate engineering for the first time. The contributors have different views on whether climate engineering is morally acceptable and on what kinds of climate engineering are most promising and most dangerous, but all agree that religion has a vital role to play in the analysis and decisions called for on this vital issue. Calming the Storm presents diverse perspectives on some of the most vital questions raised by climate engineering: Who has the right to make decisions about such global technological efforts? What have we learned from the decisions that caused the climate to change that might shed light on efforts to reverse that change? What frameworks and metaphors are helpful in thinking about climate engineering, and which are counterproductive? What religious beliefs, practices, and rituals can help people to imagine and evaluate the prospect of engineering the climate?"
