Описание: In a time of accelerating sea level rise and increasingly intensifying storms, the world's sandy beaches and dunes have never been more crucial to protecting coastal environments. Yet, in order to meet the demands of large-scale construction projects, sand mining is stripping beaches and dunes, destroying environments, and exploiting labor in the process. The authors of Vanishing Sands track the devastating impact of legal and illegal sand mining over the past twenty years, ranging from Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean to South America and the eastern United States.
They show how sand mining has reached crisis levels: beach, dune, and river ecosystems are in danger of being lost forever, while organized crime groups use deadly force to protect their illegal mining operations. Calling for immediate and widespread resistance to sand mining, the authors demonstrate that its cessation is paramount for saving not only beaches, dunes, and associated environments but also lives and tourism economies everywhere.

Описание: The analysis of meat and its place in Western culture has been central to Human-Animal Studies as a field. It is even more urgent now as global meat and dairy production are projected to rise dramatically by 2050. While the term ‘carnism’ denotes the invisible belief system (or ideology) that naturalizes and normalizes meat consumption, in this volume we focus on ‘meat culture’, which refers to all the tangible and practical forms through which carnist ideology is expressed and lived. Featuring new work from leading Australasian, European and North American scholars, Meat Culture, edited by Annie Potts, interrogates the representations and discourses, practices and behaviours, diets and tastes that generate shared beliefs about, perspectives on and experiences of meat in the 21st century.

Описание: La signature le 22 mai 2003 a Kiev de la Convention cadre pour la protection et le developpement durable des Carpates constitue l’acte fondateur de la construction d’un nouvel espace transnational visant la mise en application de politiques environnementales coordonnees a l’echelle du massif de montagne. Cet ouvrage reinvente l’exercice de la monographie regionale en apprehendant cette region des Carpates au prisme des institutions et des organisations qui l’ont objectivee et qui interagissent dans sa gouvernance depuis une dizaine d’annees. Dans cette perspective, les Carpates ne figurent jamais dans cette etude comme un objet en soi, mais comme une region objectivee par des discours, des inscriptions et des pratiques d’acteurs. Grace a une enquete ethnographique menee au secretariat de la Convention des Carpates administre ad interim par le Programme des Nations-Unies pour l’Environnement, cette etude ouvre la boite noire d’institutions environnementales qui restent largement meconnues du grand public et des chercheurs eux-memes. Elle retrace les etapes par lesquelles la region des Carpates prend forme, souvent de maniere contestee, et se trouve progressivement institutionnalisee.
