Originalhardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. vi, 189 S., Ill. Ein tadelloses Exemplar. - It is now more than a quarter of a century since the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change published their first comprehensive report on the dangers posed by anthropogenic global warming. Over the last twenty-five years the weight of evidence… about the causes and consequences of climate change has become compelling. The solutions are fairly simplewe must switch to more sustainable and efficient forms of energy production. And yet they remain elusiveglobally we produce significantly more greenhouse gases now than we did back in 1990. The sad truth is that this inaction has made climate change inevitablethe only question that remains is whether we can prevent it spiraling out of control. How do we explain this colossal global failure? The problem is political rather than scientific: we know the risks and we know how to address them, but we lack the political will to do so. The media are pivotal in this equation: they have the power to set the public and the political agenda. Climate Change and the Media, Volume 2 gathers contributions from a range of international scholars to explore the medias role in our understanding of the problem and our willingness to take action. Combined, these chapters explain how and why media coverage has, to date, fallen short in communicating both the science and the politics of climate change. They also offer guidance about how the media might shift from being the problem to becoming part of the solution. - Contents: Public Perceptions of Climate Change by STUART CAPSTICK AND LORRAINE WHITMARSH -- Ignoring Climate Change, Celebrating Coal: Propaganda and Australian Debates on the Carmichael Mine by BENEDETTA BREVINI AND TERRY WORONOV -- Global Similarities and Persistent Differences: A Survey of Comparative Studies on Climate Change and Communication by JAMES PAINTER AND MIKE S.

Festeinband. Condition: Wie neu. 1. Auflage. II, 496 Seiten : 18 Illustrationen ; 21 cm x 14.8 cm, 705 g Neuwertiges Exemplar. - At present, legal definitions of justice take account of a wide spectrum of concepts operating as juridical tools to protect future generations. Environmental justice, climate justice and protection of… the Commons figure alongside new ways of conceiving justice itself, which must evolve in order to fit our changing world. It cannot be denied that we live in an era of wide-ranging transformation both in Law and Human Rights. In 1993, the now famous Oposa vs Factoran case in the Philippine Supreme Court created a precedent for future generations law and paved the way for legal action on behalf of future generations. This legal action also set a global precedent, in the sense that it heralds a new era in legal action throughout the world. mIs it possible to take legal action on behalf of future generations? If so, on what legal bases could this occur? What scientific or legal fields have already been successfully used in this regard? Are there any other bases upon which such legal action could be taken? Mass disputes and litigation on behalf of Humankind in defense of the planets future are invoking future generations in constantly increasing numbers. -- Contents: PART 1.

Originalhardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. XVIII, 224 S. Ein tadelloses Exemplar. - The Game as It Is Played comprises the best of Donald Pizers essays on Theodore Dreiser. Pizer, one of Dreisers principal critics over the past forty years, is especially concerned in establishing the distinctive nature and quality of Dreisers natur…alism in many of these essays. From one of Dreisers earliest short stories to his acknowledged masterpiece, An American Tragedy, Pizer demonstrates that in Dreisers hands naturalism is not the blunt instrument it is usually assumed to be but rather a powerful tool for the rendering of a complex view of the human condition. In addition, the essays explore several of the more controversial areas of Dreiser scholarship, including his late conversion to communism, his anti-Semitism, and the text of Sister Carrie.

Originalbroschur. Condition: Sehr gut. VIII, 238 S. Einbandvorderseite angeschmutzt, sonst ein gutes Exemplar. - Philosophy and Education: Engaging Pathways to Meaningful Learning represents a philosophical approach to learning. It encourages students to think critically and form well-reflected opinions around relevant concepts…in the English language, literature and society, such as inequality and duty. Philosophy and Education embodies a more engaging style (than is traditionally common) with the text - instead of reading long texts and answering questions about that text, it motivates learners to relate their own experiences and interpretations to the view communicated in the text, by actively and continuously engaging them to test one opinion against another. Philosophy and Education is primarily designed to help students improve their reasoning skills both orally and in writing, and prepare them for tests and exams at the end of the upper secondary and university-preparatory courses. Some of the chapters in Philosophy and Education have been used in the classroom, resulting in highly engaged students who feel they are offered the opportunity to relate to the classroom experience in a meaningful way. None of the activities ask students to make lists of words or spend enormous amounts of time on close reading and interpreting texts - instead, they are required to reflect and share their own thoughts on the relevance of the texts, movies, etc. to their own lives. They learn new words and ideas by discussing the myriad of philosophical questions presented, which makes learning a conversation about life.

Originalbroschur. Condition: Sehr gut. XV, 304 S. Ein tadelloses Exemplar. - A Road Less Traveled: Critical Literacy and Language Learning in the Classroom, 19641996 takes us through what Robert W. Blake calls the "jaunty journey" of the English/English Language Arts classroom from its linguistic and literature foundations, to e…mphases on close reading techniques and structures to composing and responding to literature. A Road Less Traveled heads bumpily into the path of learning how to work with "non-native speakers" and other "basic" students toward a (re)-burst of a renewed interest in poetry and drama, reader response, a process approach to writing, and the diverse student, showing through the often winding and blurry road along the journey of our literacy travels over 30 years, that what we understood best about reading and writing has stood the test of time.

Festeinband. Condition: Sehr gut. 77 Seiten : Illustrationen ; 23 cm, 214 g. Sehr gutes Exemplar - It is being said that we should all be proud of the way we are confronting the Covid-19 pandemic. Rather than privileging profits and trade, Western societies have made the noble decision to save lives at all costs. Indeed, the log…ic that has prevailed is that accepting any trade-off between saving lives and saving the economy is an unacceptable and monstrous idea, which is why liberal democracies worldwide have chosen to shutter businesses and force people to self-quarantine in their homes as much and for as long as possible. A vast majority of citizens and political leaders deemed that acting otherwise would have been nothing else but pure moral bankruptcy. Is it, however, possible that Western societies have gone the wrong way by embracing this inherently basic and impoverished version of life? The reason why a significant majority of us are unable to see this truth is because of our refusal to accept death and the tragic essence of human life which is the result of the various cultural parameters we have grown accustomed to over the past decades that followed WWII. The Covid-19 pandemic has simply been the triggering factor that has allowed these factors to reinforce the full strength they wield on our understanding of life. Defined primarily by a fear of death, the desire to prolong life as much as possible and minimize the hurdles individuals have to face during their existence has created a beast that is, in appearance, reassuring to the fearful creatures we have become. This beast has asepticized societies that refute the tragic nature of life and are willing to hinder individuals' freedom and what makes our existence inherently humane. However, without realizing it, this Leviathan that now takes the form of a "nanny state" has altered our nature from individuals able and encouraged to enjoy life to people whose only destiny is to simply survive for as long as possible, without any other purpose than to avoid anything that might jeopardize this objective. -- Contents: Introduction -- The Signs of How a Hobbesian Understanding of Life Now Dominates Western Societies -- The Reasons Why Western Societies Can No Longer Accept Death -- The Inevitable Consequences of a Hobbesian Conception of Life -- Conclusion.

IX, 322 pages. (Some underlines in red). Original softcover binding. 22x15 cm * New Perspectives in Educational Leadership examines educational administration and leadership within the complex social, political, and community contexts that inform and influence the work of todays educational leaders. With particular attention to…the implications and larger contexts of shifting demographics, high-stakes accountability, and globalization on schools and society in the twenty-first century, this volume seeks to advance lines of inquiry presented in other areas of education research, that have yet to be fully explored or imagined in the field of educational leadership. This unique blend of empirical, theoretical, and conceptual research by both established and emerging scholars in the field directly acknowledges and addresses the demands of leading increasingly diverse and complex school communities. Topics include: the social and cultural dynamics of leadership, reflective practice, politics of equity and adequacy, critical servant leadership, and the possibilities of transformative leadership within these dynamic educational contexts. As a primary or supplementary text in educational administration, leadership, and foundations courses, New Perspectives in Educational Leadership provides a much-needed complement to the traditional topics of instructional leadership and education management given the expanding and increasingly complex conditions that face educational administrators and school leaders today.

Kt. Condition: Sehr gut. Second edition. xxvii, 448 Seiten : Illustrationen ; 23 cm. Gutes Exemplar - In 1991, Boyz N the Hood made history as an important film text and the impetus for a critical national conversation about American urban life in African American communities, especially for young urban black males. Boyz N the H…ood: Shifting Hollywood Terrain is an interdisciplinary examination of this iconic film. Beyond the two historic Academy Award nominations for Best Screenplay and Best Director for John Singleton, the first African American male nominee and the youngest nominee ever in the category, Boyz N the Hood's induction into the Library of Congress National Film Registry by the National Film Preservation Board, speaks to the film's iconic and meaningful impact in film history and American culture. This interdisciplinary approach to the film provides an in-depth critical perspective of Boyz N the Hood, as the embodiment of the blues-how Boyz intimates a world beyond the symbolic world Singleton posits, its fictive stance pivots to a constituent truth in the real world. This book is as much about the filmmaker as it is about the film. It explores John Singleton's cinematic voice and helps explicate his propensity for folk elements in his work (the oral tradition and lore). In addition, the text features critical perspectives from the filmmaker himself and other central figures attached to the production, including a first-hand account of the behind the scenes during production by Steve Nicoladies, Boyz's producer, and an intimate conversation with Shelia Morgan Ward, Singleton's Chief Executive/Business Manager and mother. The text is a critical resource guide and includes Singleton's original screenplay and a range of critical articles and initial movie reviews. -- Contents: List of Credits -- Acknowledgments -- Foreword: "Singleton Changed My Life" by Stephanie Allain -- Preface -- Introduction Shifting Hollywood Terrain: The Iconic -- Status of Boyz N the Hood -- PART I.
