Cheshmehzangi, Ali, AI Agency in Climate Emergency. (Urban Sustainability) 224 pp. 2025:11 (Springer, GW) <760-660>
ISBN 978-981-9541-91-1 hard ¥33,601.- (税込) EUR 129.99

AI Agency in Climate Emergency is a daring and topical examination of how AI is evolving from a stand-alone solution to a crucial, integrated force in the fight against climate change. In a time of increasing inequality, dwindling forests, failing infrastructure, and rising oceans, it repositions AI as a new type of agent inside ecological, political, and social systems. The book's 20 chapters and six themes cover energy decarbonization, foresight, agriculture, ecological monitoring, green finance, carbon markets, civic involvement, and behavioural change. Its fundamental strength is AI's developing agency, which includes the ability to recognize patterns that are inaccessible to humans, adjust in real time, and close the knowledge-to-action gap. Yet this is not technological determinism. It is about ethics, imagination, and governance. Justice, transparency, and solidarity-not speed-must guide AI in climate action. The book envisions AI that is inclusive, adaptive, accountable, and context-aware, offering a roadmap for scholars, professionals, and citizens in the urgent systemic shift ahead.

Fella, Alexander, Liquid Cities: Climate, Capital, and the Crisis of Affordable Housing. 2025:12 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <760-661>
ISBN 978-3-032-07398-3 hard ¥36,186.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book is a timely and urgent study on how the financialization of rental housing by investment firms is reshaping urban climate adaptation with a particular focus on the coastal city of Norfolk, Virginia. This region presents a key example where rising seas and rising rents- two of today's major socio-economic and environmental challenges- are colliding. Attuning to a social geography of adaptation and finance, its chapters, dispatches from the frontlines of these twinned crises, are developed through the distinct views of individuals who navigate and contest the liquidation of their city by finance and by flood. From boardrooms to the rubble of public housing, the book details how adaptation plans turn climate risk into bankable assets, how a mobility trap forces renters into flood-prone neighborhoods, and how flood resilience was weaponized to displace Black public housing residents. Liquid Cities charts an ascendant financial sovereignty over urban adapted futures, ultimately offering concrete policy ideas for ensuring that renters are not left behind in this compelling account of capital, water, and one region's fight for its future.

Giacomelli, Elena / Musaro, Pierluigi, Climate Mobility Justice: Narratives and Visual Politics of the Panicocene. 280 pp. 2025:11 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <760-662>
ISBN 978-3-032-07906-0 hard ¥41,356.- (税込) EUR 159.99

This book explores how the intertwined challenges of climate change and human (im)mobilities are being narrated, governed, and resisted. From media and policies to art and activism, the book investigates the stories we tell-and the ones we silence-about who moves, who stays, and who tries to govern human mobilities. What emerges is a powerful critique of crisis narratives that legitimize fear, repression, and exclusion, and a call for new imaginaries grounded in justice, care, and planetary belonging. Engaging with voices from the Global South, Indigenous epistemologies, and feminist and decolonial thought, this book offers a bold rethinking of how to confront one of the defining issues of our time. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of climate politics, migration, and global solidarity.

The threat of climate change increases with each passing moment, and it's time for economists, policymakers, and climate scientists to work together to address this. In this Palgrave Pivot, political economist Robin Hahnel offers useful ways to make a difference when it comes to climate policy. The book begins by making clear that not enough is being done to slow the impact of climate change. Hahnel breaks down what is being done in some states and cities in the US and provides expert insights into important national-level initiatives that began under the Biden-Harris Administration. Chapters explore international climate negotiations-the good, the bad, and the ugly-offering a realistic approach to policies that impact our environment. The book ends with a nod to action, optimism, and strength. Hahnel explains not just whether, but also why, there is still reason to push for international climate action before it is too late. Written for individuals working within and interested in policy, climate, and political economy, the book will inspire creative responses to climate change.

"A pathbreaking synthesis" Gus Speth "Rigorous and compelling" Michael Foley Why our current fixes for the environmental crisis are making things worse, and what we need to do about it. Does the future of humankind lie in colonising a new planet, or uploading our minds to a digital metaverse? Listening to certain billionaires and technophiles, you might think these are our best bets for escaping the increasingly hostile world we've made for ourselves. The Nature Delusion dismantles these ideas. It shows why technological and economic 'fixes' alone cannot solve the existential threat of climate change, and why they remain out of reach for most people. Instead, this book uncovers the root causes of our environmental crisis - from our disconnection from nature to our focus on short-term, self-centred priorities - and offers a hopeful vision for the future. As the environmental crisis deepens, it's easy to feel powerless or overwhelmed. The Nature Delusion invites you to see humanity's place in the world in a radically new way and demonstrates how transforming our mindset can create a healthier, more resilient world.

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. How do international climate and energy organizations survive and thrive despite powerful contestation? This analysis reveals how the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) maintain legitimacy when key players like the United States withdraw from global agreements. Using qualitative research including interviews and participant observation, this book unveils the 'norm for climate change action'-a powerful principle that transforms contestation into reinforcement of international climate governance. In doing so, it demonstrates how opposition doesn't destroy these organizations but paradoxically strengthens their role in global climate action.

Marchesini, Roberto, Philosophical Ecology: Anthropocentrism as an Epistemological Obstacle. 350 pp. 2026:1 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <760-46>
ISBN 978-3-032-04986-5 hard ¥31,016.- (税込) EUR 119.99

Ecology, as a descriptive science, is not only a framework for describing biological relations between living beings, but a way of thinking and cognizing entities in transcendental terms. This way of thinking cannot be limited to the descriptive realm because it implies an ontological and epistemological revolution that can no longer be ignored. In this sense, it is essential to speak of a philosophical ecology, which is not to be confused with a fundamentalist view of ecology or as a way of making the descriptive descend into the prescriptive. Rather, the point is to take the form-eco-logical thinking-to inaugurate a different mindset that can be applied to different contexts. In this book, Roberto Marchesini explores the fundamental principles of ecological thinking and shows how they can yield far-reaching philosophical change. He also explores how our way of thinking about reality has influenced our inability to fully understand the current ecological crisis and to become aware of the urgencies it poses.

Maritime Asia, collectively bordered by the Pacific, Indian and Arctic Ocean, sources Asia's food reserve, goods and ideas yet figures relatively lesser in global cultural production. Asia's 'great highways' and 'wide common' of the sea function as routes for trade and commerce that underpins globalization. Due to unprecedented human trafficking at sea, the ocean has largely become a repository for plastic pollution, waste and effluents. Complex oceanic-ecosystems make it inconceivable for human beings to take stock of the interdependence of seas, earth and atmosphere, 'missing in context' for redressal.

Wang, Pianpian, Voluntary Environmental Programs in the United States and China. (Routledge Explorations in Environmental Studies) 256 pp. 2026:2 (Routledge, UK) <759-822>
ISBN 978-1-041-19543-6 hard ¥43,065.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book explores the effectiveness of voluntary environmental programs (VEPs): initiatives designed and managed by social actors to motivate participants to achieve environmental goals beyond legal requirements.Contrasting the approaches taken in the United States and China, Pianpian Wang explores VEPs and their role in environmental sustainability, addressing gaps in existing research that primarily focus on government-led initiatives. Wang delves into the motivations behind these voluntary commitments and highlights the role of various social actors, including businesses, civil society organizations (CSOs), and government agencies. By examining the interactions between program organizers, participants, and supervisors under existing legal requirements, the research offers insights into effective environmental governance strategies and provides a broader perspective on how different societal settings influence the success of these programs and inform future legislations.Voluntary Environmental Programs in the United States and China offers valuable insights for policymakers, businesses, and researchers interested in environmental management and sustainability.

Zhou, Victoria S., Contemporary Environmental Policy Governance in China: The Transformation of Municipal Solid Waste Management. (Routledge Studies on China in Transition) 174 pp. 2026:1 (Routledge, UK) <759-831>
ISBN 978-1-041-19138-4 hard ¥43,065.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book examines environmental governance in China during the Xi Jinping era.Drawing on extensive fieldwork, this book uses the eco-transformation of waste management as a case study to reveal how central authorities exert political pressure to enforce national policy visions, while local governments frequently resort to "minimum compliance"-a strategy that allows local authorities to cope with and sidestep centrally mandated policies while avoiding the consequences of policy failure. The book uncovers persistent structural and deliberate compromises in policy steering, explaining why recentralisation under Xi has not significantly improved the implementation of national policies that have long underperformed, much like under his predecessors. Exploring debates on state capacity, bureaucratic behaviour, and local governance in contemporary China, it provides a deeper understanding of authoritarian environmental governance.Offering fresh insights into China's policy processes, this book will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of Chinese politics and environmental policy.

It will also be an invaluable companion to policy makers, general administrators, civil society organizations, media persons, and bilateral agencies like WHO, UNICEF, UNDP, UNEP, World Bank and Gates Foundation.

Piekarska-Baronet, Maria, Forest as Commemoration in Jewish-Israeli Memory Culture: A Study in Environmental Memory. (Memory Studies: Global Constellations) 244 pp. 2026:3 (Routledge, UK) <759-897>
ISBN 978-1-032-98974-7 hard ¥43,065.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

Situated within the broadly understood subfield of environmental memory studies, this book explores Israeli forests as spaces of commemoration. It investigates their significance in the Jewish-Israeli memory culture over the last century, as well as their role as a recurrent form of environmental memorial, understood as a commemoration that uses the organic as both the symbolic and the building substance. In doing so, it reveals the roles that the natural environment plays in memory practices: as a carrier of symbolic meanings, but also as an acting, more-than-human element of memorial spaces.Employing the perspective of environmental hermeneutics, the analysis is grounded in the realities of the Israel/Palestine conflict and reflects on the convoluted intersection of ideological, political, socio-economic, personal, and institutional dimensions of local tree planting. Simultaneously, it draws from instances of arboreal commemorations found in other geographical and cultural contexts, situating the practice of memorial forests within the wider framework of environmental memory and its associated social practices. In this way, it offers instructive insights for other cases of arboreal remembrance, highlighting both the potential benefits and risks linked to environmental memorials.Utilizing an interdisciplinary approach, this fascinating and ground-breaking volume will engage scholars and researchers from a wide range of disciplines including Memory Studies, Cultural Geography, Israel Studies, and Environmental Humanities.

初期フランス領カリブ海地域における文化と環境
Harrigan, Michael, Culture and Environment in the Early French Caribbean. 264 pp. 2026:6 (Johns Hopkins U. Pr., US) <759-941>
ISBN 978-1-4214-5317-0 hard ¥14,502.- (税込) US$ 64.95

Ideas, practices, and human priorities: culture in the unstable environment of the early Caribbean colonies.Early French colonization in the Caribbean from the 1620s to circa 1730 brought great demographic, economic, and agricultural changes, with settlers introducing crops, animals, and new forms of labor into ecosystems that imposed their own limitations. In these settlements, ideas and practices concerning the environment, ranging from the preparation of food and drink to medical treatments, drew on both European and non-European knowledge. Yet social, gender, and linguistic barriers were among the restrictions to what colonial populations knew about Caribbean ecosystems. Descriptions and illustrations of animals and plants could fascinate Europeans, despite giving only partial insight into the Caribbean environment. Colonial practices such as feasting distinguished culture from wilderness, and people from one another; in an environment in which cultivation signified culture, the plantations were ultimately an unstable model in ecological and social terms. Drawing on a wide range of source material, including manuscript treatises and correspondence, natural histories, engravings, and missionary texts, Michael Harrigan explores how people interacted within their environment during early French colonization in the Caribbean. Examining the ways in which colonial culture and the environment were intertwined, this book explores how relationships between colonial populations were reflected in their environment and in the landscape itself. It shows that distinctly human preoccupations determined cultural forms, which were in turn shaped by the contingencies of early settlement. Knowledge of Caribbean ecosystems, Harrigan contends, could constitute a powerful body of techniques while being fragmented and driven by approaches to the environment focused on human priorities.

This book contributes to the emerging field of the blue humanities by developing a critical media perspective on the technical, social, cultural, and historical mediation of knowledge, perception, and experience of the oceans. With contributions from leading scholars from across a diverse range of fields, this volume focuses on the environmental challenges experienced in the northern reaches of the North Atlantic Ocean. The authors define these areas as the High North Atlantic, characterized by significant temperature fluctuations and considerable geopolitical significance, and noted for experiencing many of the most severe impacts of climate change.Case studies consider the environmental impacts of offshore oil, fish farming, deep-sea mining, and other extractive industries as a result of operations conducted by neighboring countries such as Norway, Denmark, the UK, Iceland, Greenland, the USA, and Canada. A key focus is on technical mediation: the interactions between technologies, humans, and marine ecosystems, and by deploying a critical media perspective throughout, the book explores the construction of aquatic cultures and the ways in which maritime technologies organize ways of seeing, sensing, and comprehending the changing natures of the oceanic world.As an important addition to the blue humanities and environmental humanities in general, this interdisciplinary volume will appeal to scholars and students of media and communication studies, human geography, anthropology, environmental studies, cultural and technological history, visual studies, architecture, art history, and literature.

Lifetime Carbon Debt shows how individuals can help global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by addressing their own annual and lifetime emissions.People around the world look to governments to provide leadership and action on climate change, and to industry and the wider business community to reduce emissions associated with their activities. However, individuals also have an important role to play by taking responsibility for their emissions. In this book Chris Anastasi offers guidance on how they can do this depending on their personal circumstances. He explains how individuals can estimate their annual and lifetime carbon debt and then explores the various options available to repay this debt, from changing their behaviour and embracing new technology, to using markets. Finally, the book highlights the significant contribution a community of like-minded individuals can make to our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Lifetime Carbon Debt will be of interest to those individuals who want to be better informed about their contribution to climate change and wish to take responsibility for their emissions. It is also an excellent resource for academics and students with an interest in climate change.

Across the early modern world (late-1400s to mid-1900s), oceans provided the key connection between far-flung communities in an age of empire and colonial expansion, while also serving as an increasingly important source of resources, from salted fish to whale oil to luxurious pearls.This story has rarely been told from the perspective of the marine environment itself. This book brings together the newest research to explore an era of newfound importance for the global ocean, focusing on the changing human relationships with maritime environments as cultures around the world found new ways to use and manipulate different aspects of this environment. The book focuses on key themes in early modern maritime history: harvesting marine life, movement through and on water, changing coastal environments, sea-land connections, and the metaphysics of the ocean in an age of change. While making a case for the importance of early modern marine environmental history throughout all the oceans of the world, this book also provides a foundation for more work on the topic.This book is for undergraduate and graduate students beginning work on premodern environmental, maritime, ocean and global history, as well as literary scholars or ocean scientists interested in ocean history.

How locally focused, ethically driven action can help communities and ecosystems thrive in the face of crisis.How do we move beyond simply surviving in a world of accelerating environmental and social disruption? Place-Based Solutions offers a bold and practical response, charting a path toward what Charles G. Curtin calls "prosilience"-the capacity not just to endure crises, but to leap forward through them. With over thirty years of collaborative, on-the-ground experience in conservation and climate adaptation, Curtin explores why so many well-intentioned efforts fall short and what distinguishes the ones that succeed. This book distills decades of applied research and institutional leadership ideas into a framework for designing solutions that are adaptive, durable, and rooted in the strengths of local communities. It explains how to transform the ways people think, organize, and act in response to complex challenges, especially when top-down, technocratic approaches fail to deliver. Place-Based Solutions emphasizes the power of small and mid-sized organizations to catalyze meaningful change, using real-world examples to illustrate how lasting impact depends on aligning ethics, equity, institutional design, and the ability to learn over time. Curtin encourages readers to shift their focus from the pre-crisis status quo to preparing for-and thriving in-novel futures. Accessible, honest, and deeply grounded in practical solutions, this book assembles a set of proven principles for turning uncertainty in the face of societal transformation into opportunity. It is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand how humanity can respond to global crises with creativity, integrity, and lasting effect.

Sound Knowledge and the Liminal explores liminality as a key feature of life in the Anthropocene. Drawing on 6-month research conducted in Majro, Marshall Islands, it not only contextualises existing continental literature on liminality with a Pacific-centred perspective but also proposes that sound functions as a principal pathway for understanding wellbeing in one of Micronesia's most resilient and vibrant urban centres. Locating everyday life in Majro as constantly shifting between the qualities of continental city and coral atoll, the book traces how the local community uses sound to gain wellbeing in liminal spaces. Synthesising theories on Anthropocene islands, sound knowledge, vibratory labour and the auditory bubble, it highlights ludic appropriation and sonic cocoons as central to the affordances of an urbanised atoll space.Providing a though-provoking discussion of liminality outside of the context of continental cities, this book will be a vital reading for anyone for studying the relationships between Oceanic lives, sound and liminality. Especially relevant for scholars, it is also suitable for students and researchers in fields such as sound studies, cultural studies, political ecology, and Pacific studies.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.

ISBN 978-1-032-96333-4 hard ¥43,065.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book explores relationships between humans and outer space through a geographical lens in the context of the Anthropocene. Presenting a bold and diverse engagement with outer space, the book expands geographical understandings of outer space and reflects upon humankind's place in the cosmos, all the while shedding light on the linkages between human life and cosmic processes.Drawing upon literature from across the social sciences, the book offers an innovative interdisciplinary examination of outer space that is grounded in geographic thinking. By delving into a range of materialities and milieus, it unpacks how outer space is framed, encountered and perceived by a variety of social and cultural actors. A new materialist methodology, combined with a mixed methods approach, is used to investigate meteorites, Dark Sky Parks and science fiction films, an effort that invokes deep pasts, embodied presents and speculative futures. In doing so, the book reveals the interrelatedness of human and cosmos, whilst unsettling the Anthropocene as a bounded and contained planetary condition. The interdisciplinary nature of this book makes it appealing for anyone engaging with outer space and planetary thinking. This book will be of particular use to scholars and students in geography and the social studies of outer space, as well as those with an interest in the Anthropocene, new materialism and more-than-human studies.

This comprehensive handbook represents a definitive state of the art overview of grasslands from multiple, interdisciplinary and global perspectives.Despite the real and intrinsic values that grasslands offer, they are globally subject to fragmentation, habitat and species loss, and they are increasingly threatened by climate change. From a human societal perspective, grasslands are central to much of our culture and represent areas where agriculture first arose. The Routledge Handbook of Grasslands brings together an interdisciplinary team of global authors to present a much needed and vitally important overview of the new and ongoing debates around the values of and threats to grasslands. Reflecting the broad range of issues, debates and threats, the handbook is divided into five parts:Part I: Deep Roots, Dynamic Futures: Understanding the Science of GrasslandsPart II: Living Complexity: Grassland Function, Biodiversity, and RenewalPart III: Working Landscapes: Innovation and Tradition in Grassland StewardshipPart IV: Social-Ecological Ties: Grassland Services, Justice, and GovernancePart V: Landscapes of Meaning: Cultural and Creative Perspectives on GrasslandsDrawing on the experience of researchers, practitioners and managers, the handbook is the only grassland-oriented text to include social, economic, policy, and cultural value dimensions of grasslands, as well as an up-to-date coverage of the agronomy and ecology of these environments. The handbook concludes with a forward-thinking chapter which discusses the future of grasslands, further directions, threats and innovations.The Routledge Handbook of Grasslands is essential reading for students and scholars of grassland ecology, management and conservation as well as policy and management practitioners involved in grassland management and governance, as well as natural resources more broadly.

ISBN 978-1-041-21498-4 hard ¥43,065.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book critically engages with a central dilemma facing counter-hegemonic movements as global crises intensify: how to foster systemic change while maintaining the plurality of their struggles. The Prospects of a Pluriversal Transition to a Post-Capitalist, Post-Carbon Future explores the tensions between fragmentation and convergence, autonomy and solidarity, and the risks of compartmentalization in pluriversal politics. Through rigorous analysis and compelling case studies, it interrogates the possibilities and limitations of building transformative synergies across decolonial, post-developmentalist, post-ecomodernist, and post-capitalist struggles. The volume examines movements resisting extractivism, food sovereignty initiatives, feminist and care-based ethics, commons-based governance, and radical pluriversalist networks that challenge dominant power structures. By blending theoretical inquiry with grounded research, this collection offers a vital resource for those reimagining and realizing alternative futures beyond capitalism, carbon modernity, and coloniality. It invites readers to critically reflect on the complexities of systemic transformation, highlighting pathways for co-creating relational, diverse, and interconnected forms of resistance and transformation.This book will be relevant to academic researchers and scholars in political ecology, critical theory, decolonial studies, environmental humanities, and social movement studies; graduate students in sociology, political science, geography, anthropology, and interdisciplinary environmental studies, and policy practitioners working on sustainable development alternatives and participatory governance.The chapters in this book were originally published in Globalizations.

This volume explores various connections between animals and landscapes, challenging traditional anthropocentric framings and acknowledging the agency of other-than-human species in shaping our surroundings.A critical departure from traditional perspectives, Animals and Landscapes challenges the prevalent anthropocentric and ocularcentric approaches to the scenic landscape. Instead, the contributors adopt a multispecies lens, prioritising the more-than-human and illuminating the intricate relationships between bodies, actions, and place. The chapters navigate a range of environments, exploring visual and aesthetic experiences as well as the entanglements of place, action, bodies, and subjectivities. In doing so the authors discuss historical, geographical, social, economic, and cultural frameworks that shape landscapes, revealing the often-ignored agency of non-human species.Moving beyond human-centric framings of landscapes, it acknowledges the active role that other species play in shaping, using, and producing these environments. Central to this thematic exploration is the idea that animals have their own geographies and act as place-making agents. Underscoring the dynamic role animals play in shaping the spaces they inhabit, this volume encourages a re-evaluation of the narratives that have predominantly marginalised the role of animals in shaping our understanding of place.This interdisciplinary book will appeal to academics and students of sociology, visual culture, geography, and cultural studies, film, and media and television studies with interests in landscape studies and human-animal studies.

A portrait of people fighting for truth and accountability as they confront the environmental injustice of "forever chemicals."Invisible and nearly indestructible, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have seeped into the blood of almost every American and permeated the natural world. These insidious chemicals now drift on global air currents, fall in rain, accumulate in soils and food webs, and can persist in ecosystems for generations. Inescapable reveals how ordinary people are tackling the toxic impacts from this sprawling class of industrial compounds-long used in consumer products, building supplies, and firefighting foam and still widely produced.Journalist Marina Schauffler recounts how PFAS contamination in Maine, a state known for its bountiful farms, woods, and waters, has upended lives and livelihoods, endangered public health, and cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. Stories from homeowners, firefighters, farmers, tribal members, researchers, and elected officials reveal the staggering implications of the federal government's failure to regulate synthetic chemicals that manufacturers have known for decades were toxic. Maine is among states at the forefront of PFAS testing and regulation, but no region is immune from this chemical threat.The poignant accounts in this book illuminate the challenge of reckoning with the far-reaching effects of PFAS and addressing the ongoing burden borne by highly affected individuals. Countless communities across the nation and world could face similar struggles as the ubiquity of PFAS contamination becomes clear. Inescapable offers a roadmap for tackling this chemical Hydra.

With over 70 exercises containing more than 270 questions, Interpreting Ecological Data allows students to apply ecological theory learned in classes to new, 'real' data from the scientific literature. Rather than simply rote learning word-perfect answers, they are empowered to apply their knowledge and develop critical thinking skills: core attributes for science undergraduates.The book covers ecological principles such as predation, competition, mutualism, food-webs and biogeochemical cycling. With numerous examples on each theme, students can gain plenty of practice across a wide range of topics, providing a solid foundation for their ecological knowledge and developing transferable skills in data interpretation. Almost all the exercises use 'real' data from published papers, sometimes messy and not always supporting the hypotheses they were designed to investigate - just like in real life! The answers are all included in the final chapter, with detailed explanations where relevant. The exercises can also be used for assessment, enabling students to demonstrate their understanding, and lecturers can quickly convert them for use in lectures, workshops or assessments. Most importantly, Interpreting Ecological Data aims to stimulate student enthusiasm for ecology and what researchers actually do, starting an unexpected and exciting new journey.

How nineteenth-century environmental sciences laid the groundwork for global mineral extraction. Unearthed depicts a pivotal moment during the nineteenth century: As European and settler schemes to govern ever larger territories intensified, the earth and atmospheric sciences were also becoming more global in scope, assembling models of the planet while making use of militarized or highly industrialized systems. These efforts were informed by the physique du monde, or global physics, of Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), a program of vast data collection that spanned four hemispheres that aimed to determine general, scientific laws about the planet and its environments. Using Humboldt's itineraries as a frame, Unearthed traces an information order that linked far-flung industrial sites and frontier stations, from Prussian provinces to the Spanish and Russian empires. Humboldt intersected with Saxon miners, Mexican cartographers, and Siberian surveyors, among other itinerant Germans who mobilized the labor and resources of widespread mining operations for international surveys of earth and air. Interweaving the histories of capital and climate, Patrick Anthony takes readers from mines to mountains to show how the sciences of Humboldt's circuits both measured and made modern natures. These sciences of the mineral frontier, he argues, ultimately laid the groundwork for carbon-intensive economics and a logic of unending extraction. Wide-ranging and ambitious, Unearthed will interest scholars working in the history of science, global history, and the environmental humanities.

Addressing the complex interplay between climate change, democratic governance, and scientific knowledge in the Anthropocene era, this book focuses on how political systems respond to the global ecological crisis and to what extent they are structurally capable of doing so.The World We Have Created: Climate, Democracy, and Knowledge details how the de-democratization of ecological decision-making favors models of authoritarian governance, as democratic values such as transparency, participation, and accountability are continually undermined. Offering a robust account of the responses to the climate crisis and the necessary social and political changes posed by the scientific consensus, this book analyses the growing discrepancy between scientific knowledge about the causes and consequences of climate change and the lack of political and social willingness to implement necessary measures. Comprehensive social change is needed that focuses on social justice, intergenerational responsibility, and political participation, and it is only by strengthening democratic structures and integrating knowledge into responsible governance can we open paths to a resilient, just, and liveable future.This sharp, interdisciplinary intervention bridges sociological, political, and philosophical thinking to underline the necessity of hope and utopian social imagination together with concrete changes to the constitution that guarantees a safe environment for future generations.
