The French countryside is as beloved by the many millions of tourists who visit it each year as it is of French people themselves. But it has not always looked like it does today. An Environmental History of France instead presents the countryside in which people live and work and through which they travel as a human creation across 250 years of economic and cultural change, war and revolution. It is a book about the 'making' of the French landscape and an engrossing story linking human geography, history, agriculture and culture. Showing an awareness of the origins and nature of current ecological and social challenges, Peter McPhee uses a blend of environmental and cultural approaches to paint a vivid picture of rural France's modern history. From the aristocratic control of agrarian resources in the 1770s, to widespread mechanisation in the 19th century, through to the impact of the World Wars and an intriguing discussion about the uncertain future of French rural communities, McPhee provides a nuanced, detailed and absorbing account of a distinctive version of France that is essential to the country's identity.

Rodineliussen, Rasmus, Underwater Worlds: An Ethnography of Waste, Pollution, and Marine Life. (Sustainable Development Goals Series) 248 pp. 2024:8 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <732-984>
ISBN 978-3-031-63369-0 hard ¥29,883.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book investigates relations between humans, waste, pollution, and marine life. It introduces the concept of Aquabiopolitics as a means to understand how humans govern life in water in order to enrich human life on land. The study focuses on the Baltic Sea and Lake Maelaren, using Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, as the connection point. Throughout the book, the author explores how human practices over time have had devastating effects on marine life and continue to have so today. The book engages with the marine world through underwater ethnography to provide a perspective on water from below the surface. In this endeavor, it tracks marine scientists and trash scuba divers who are jointly invested in tracking human maltreatment of water and finding solutions for treating water differently in the future. It follows the scientists on expeditions at sea and to their laboratories in order to learn about their methods and relations to underwater worlds. Together with the trash scuba divers, we will dive into the dark murky waters around Stockholm-experiencing what it is like to move below water, among sharp and toxic waste, without any visibility. The work of creating a knowing and caring relationship between humans and water is of key importance to both scientists and divers. Therefore, one of the main parts of this book is to analyze how, and if, this relationship can be created: via social media, images, installations, or other means.

V.トーマス著 気候変動の時代におけるリスクと弾力性 第2版
Thomas, Vinod, Risk and Resilience in the Era of Climate Change. 2nd ed. 227 pp. 2024:10 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <732-987>
ISBN 978-981-9727-68-1 hard ¥5,284.- (税込) EUR 22.99

This book presents essential insights on the interaction between rising risks and raising the bar for resilience during the climate crisis. Its timeliness lies in applying important findings on risk and resilience to runaway climate change. When risk and resilience are brought together in the context of climate catastrophes, three key messages emerge. The first is that accounting for the root causes, and not just their symptoms, is essential to slowing these events. It is therefore vital to link carbon emissions from human activity to the sharp rise in climate disasters globally. The second is that growth economics and policy must factor in the failure of governments and businesses to tackle spillover harm from economic activities, as seen strikingly with global warming AND BIODIVERSITY LOSS. With climate risks rising, this calls for a fundamental revision of the framing of growth in the teaching and practice of business and economics. And third, prevention must become a far bigger part of resilience building, with preparedness to avert or handle tougher eventualities built into interventions. Emphasis on prevention deems disaster recovery as not just returning to how things were but building back better.

Salleh, Ariel, DeColonise EcoModernism! 304 pp. 2024:12 (Bloomsbury Academic, UK) <732-64>
ISBN 978-1-4742-7761-7 hard ¥18,018.- (税込) GB£ 65.00
ISBN 978-1-4742-7760-0 paper ¥5,540.- (税込) GB£ 19.99

In this opening volume to a trilogy of works critiquing and undermining our approach to our environment, Ariel Salleh argues we need a new word for the contemporary age: the Androcene. This concept establishes patriarchal capitalist coloniality as the foundational issue destroying both the planet and the lives and exist with it. The Androcene is the deepest most intractable fracture of humans from the wider world of natural relations. Salleh peels away the most recent and overt political layers back to their historical source and the healing rediscovery of matristic values. This is a truly intersectional approach to the ecological crisis - one that doesn't prioritise one species over another (e.g. humans over animals) a particular gender over another (the problem of systematic patriarchy) one race or nation over each other or accept the uneven spread of wealth and resources throughout the globe. Salleh takes as her premise that if all these issues intersect, we need to decolonialise the language and thinking we use to dismantle these overlapping worlds of inequality.

D.Crowther他編 CSR、ガバナンス、価値
Crowther, David / Seifi, Shahla (eds.), CSR, Governance and Value. (Approaches to Global Sustainability, Markets, and Governance) 239 pp. 2024:8 (Springer, GW) <732-309>
ISBN 978-981-9747-94-8 hard ¥39,079.- (税込) EUR 169.99

This book presents the changing face of social responsibility, showing how it has grown to encompass governance, becoming a vital part of various aspects of human endeavor. From businesses to politics to justice systems, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has expanded its reach, touching every sphere of human activity. What is particularly interesting is how governance failures have highlighted its importance in addressing the economic and social challenges that many organizations face today. This shift has led to a reevaluation of the traditional triple bottom line approach, with governance and supplier behavior emerging as critical components of CSR. Stakeholders, especially consumers, are now actively monitoring companies, influencing their decisions and ultimately impacting their bottom line. The book critically examines these transformations in business behavior through the lenses of governance and CSR, questioning the need for redefining key concepts in the field. Authored by scholars from diverse global backgrounds, it blends theoretical insights with practical considerations, offering a comprehensive exploration of the evolving landscape. Drawing from the tradition of the Social Responsibility Research Network, known for its inclusive approach and emphasis on interdisciplinary research, the book presents varied perspectives and solutions derived from shared best practices. Based on contributions from the Network's recent conference, this book showcases both the unity and diversity of ideas within the field. By examining both theory and practice, it aims to deepen our understanding of these evolving trends and their implications for defining key concepts in social responsibility and governance.

Johnson, Matthew P., Hydropower in Authoritarian Brazil: An Environmental History of Low-Carbon Energy, 1960s-90s. (Studies in Environment and History) 334 pp. 2024:6 (Cambridge U. Pr., UK) <731-911>
ISBN 978-1-00-942869-9 hard ¥23,562.- (税込) GB£ 85.00

During the later twentieth century, Brazil's right-wing military dictatorship built a vast network of hydropower dams that became one of the world's biggest low-carbon electricity grids. Weighed against these carbon savings, what were the costs? Johnson unpacks the social and environmental implications of this project, from the displacement of Indigenous and farming communities to the destruction of Amazonian biodiversity. Drawing on rich archival material from forty sites across Brazil, Paraguay, and the United States, including rarely accessed personal collections, Johnson explores the story of the military of?cers and engineers who created the dams and the protestors who fought them. Brazilian examples are analyzed within their global context, highlighting national issues with broad consequences for both social and environmental justice. In our race to halt global warming, it is vital that we learn from past experiences and draw clear distinctions between true environmentalism and greenwashed political expedience.

Gill, Bikrum, The Political Ecology of Colonial Capitalism: Race, Nature, and Accumulation. (Postcolonial International Studies) 256 pp. 2024:11 (Manchester U. Pr., UK) <731-929>
ISBN 978-1-5261-8135-0 hard ¥23,562.- (税込) GB£ 85.00

This book situates the post financial crisis phenomenon of the "global land grab" within the longue duree of the capitalist world system. It does so by advancing a theoretical and historical framework, called the political ecology of colonial capitalism, that clarifies the key role played by the co-production of race and nature in provisioning the "ecological surplus" that has historically secured the emergence and reproduction of capitalist development. The key premise of this book is that the global land grab constitutes another such attempted moment of re-securing the cheap food premise through racialized frontier appropriation. The argument advanced here is that, within the neoliberal crisis conjuncture, the hegemonic resolution of capital's escalating social-ecological contradictions necessitates, through the practice of "global primitive accumulation," the racialized construction of frontiers of unused nature in emergent zones of appropriation.

ISBN 978-1-03-287396-1 paper ¥10,253.- (税込) GB£ 36.99

The Global Environmental Crisis presents a new perspective on our inattention and inaction in the face of a major crisis, recognising that - although we cannot do without scientific knowledge - we cannot exclusively rely on it.In spite of the limitations of achieving and disseminating scientific knowledge, many people have an unfounded faith in its certitude and indubitability. In particular, the scientific social sciences have exaggerated our capacity for attention and action, misrecognizing our propensity towards habits of thought and action. What we need, in addition to scientific knowledge, is a utopian imagination to make us understand the nature of the crisis and an alternative vision of a viable future.This book is an essential resource for students and instructors across the social sciences, especially sociology and environmental studies. It will also be a crucial and accessible text for general readers interested in climate change, the state of discussion, and how to imagine a better world for themselves and future generations.

Medeiros, Eduardo (ed.), Self-Sufficiency and Sustainable Cities and Regions: Planning for Sustainable, Circular and Carbon-Neutral Development. (Regions and Cities) 196 pp. 2024:11 (Routledge, UK) <731-940>
ISBN 978-1-03-280710-2 hard ¥37,422.- (税込) GB£ 135.00

The concept of Self-Sufficiency involves the notion of sustainable, circular, and carbon-neutral cities. This book examines how urban planning can lead to greater self-sufficiency.It sheds light on how Urban and Regional Circular and Self-Sufficiency development can effectively contribute towards the ultimate goals of the United Nations (UN) Agenda 2030 and the European Union (EU) Green Deal. It embraces not only the scientific fields of regional and urban studies but also addresses environmental sustainability-related and regional resilience aspects, such as renewable energy production, sustainable mobility, and the circular economy. The book offers a full toolkit of knowledge on how to effectively implement planning approaches for circular and self-sufficiency development at both urban and regional levels. It begins by presenting a theoretical framework and debate on urban and regional planning approaches that can effectively make cities and regions circular and self-sufficient in certain development domains, such as producing intra-city electric energy, sustainable mobility, and promoting a circular economy. Further, it advances a range of policy development proposals aiming at providing a comprehensive introduction to contemporary thinking about how cities and regions can design innovative planning and governance processes and, where appropriate, build capacity to implement systemic and integrated climate-neutral policies, building on existing place-based territorial capital and experiences developed by local and regional networks. The chapters are written by established authors in their respective domains.The book will thoroughly prepare students and provide knowledge to academics, researchers, and policymakers in the fields of urban and regional planning/development and studies, environmental sustainability, regional resilience, human geography, economic development, and public/EU/UN policies.

ISBN 978-1-00-921115-4 paper ¥8,312.- (税込) GB£ 29.99

This book considers the everyday conduits through which climate instability is revealing itself: the storm sewer drain on your street, the powerlines transporting your electricity, the mix of vegetation in your backyard or neighborhood park - these are the pathways through which climate change is most likely to impact your life. For many, these are the last places we expect it to. The first book to establish a framework for climate change adaptation, Stone's aim is to understand how climate change is altering our lives in the present period - this period of transition between the ancient, stable climate of our ancestors and the unfolding, no longer stable climate of our children - and how our cities might adapt to these changes. Stone's concern is with the risks posed by a new environmental regime for which our modes of living are ill-adapted, and with how these modes of living must be altered - radically altered - to persist in a climate changed world.

ISBN 978-1-03-273785-0 paper ¥7,481.- (税込) GB£ 26.99

This timely and urgent collection brings together cutting-edge interdisciplinary scholarship and ideas from around the world to present critical examinations of climate coloniality.Confronting Climate Coloniality exposes how legacies of colonialism, imperialism, and capitalism co-produce and exacerbate the climate crisis, create disproportionate impacts on those who contributed the least to climate change, and influence global and local responses. Climate coloniality is perpetuated through processes of neoliberalism, racial capitalism, development interventions, economic growth models, media, and education. Confronting climate coloniality entails decolonizing climate discourses and governance, challenging the dominant framings and policies, interrogating material, geopolitical, and institutional arrangements for tackling the climate crisis, and centering Global South and Indigenous knowledge, experiences, strategies, and solutions. Confronting Climate Coloniality: Decolonizing Pathways for Climate Justice provides critical insights and strategies for transformative action and fosters deeper understandings of the structural injustices entangled with climate change in governance, framings, policies, responses, and praxis. This collection offers pioneering interdisciplinary research on alternative frameworks for decolonized approaches for more meaningful climate justice.With originality, scholarly rigor, and emphasis on amplifying marginalized voices, this collection is an indispensable resource for interdisciplinary scholars, policymakers, and activists committed to advancing climate justice.

Sutton, Mark Q. / Anderson, E. N., Our Traumatized Planet: What We Can Learn from Ancient Societies and Contemporary Traditional Peoples. 240 pp. 2024:11 (Routledge, UK) <731-949>

ISBN 978-1-03-289899-5 paper ¥10,253.- (税込) GB£ 36.99

Our Traumatized Planet explores the state of the environment and some the major issues faced today and asks what we can learn and apply from contemporary traditional peoples, ancient societies, and our own successes and failures.Providing straightforward information on some of the serious environmental issues we face so that non-scientists can understand them, this book explores what is at stake so that we can choose to make a difference. Combining the latest data from environmental and archaeological science allows for fresh perspectives and an empirical approach to describing these problems that eliminates hopeful denial, speculation, wishful thinking and downright lies. Using archaeological data the authors provide examples of success and failures in the past that could be used to make decisions about the future. They also highlight examples of how traditional peoples, past and present, have dealt with these same issues. Seeing the current crisis through the eyes of two experienced archaeologists broadens our understanding and allows us to set contemporary issues in the context of the past and traditional knowledge. However, this is not a book of easy solutions form the past to solve our future rather it is an impassioned plea to people today to read and understand what state the planet is in and encourage them to find the will to change.This book is for students of archaeology, anthropology and environmental science and all those wanting to, in a clear and readable way, understand the fate of our planet.

Globalizing Urban Environmental History' melds the methodological prescriptions of global urban history, the innovative methods of environmental history, and the interdisciplinary field of urban political ecology to trace the contours of a global urban environmental history. I argue that a global lens fixed on material, political, and cultural flows, movements, and connections-all of which were founded upon the structural integration of urban spaces through capitalist expansion and empire-sheds new light on the histories of specific urban political ecologies, on the one hand, and large-scale urban patterns on the other. These patterns comprise shared urban environmental imaginaries, strategies of environmental governance, and a global urban physical and cultural landscape stitched together by the adoption of fossil-fuel energies.

von Mering, Sabine / Bell, Thomas E. et al. (eds.), The Routledge Handbook of Grassroots Climate Activism. (Routledge International Handbooks) 614 pp. 2024:12 (Routledge, UK) <731-956>
ISBN 978-1-03-250023-2 hard ¥59,598.- (税込) GB£ 215.00

The Routledge Handbook of Grassroots Climate Activism introduces contemporary forms of grassroots climate activism from around the world through the lenses of a variety of academic disciplines, methodologies, and perspectives. Focusing on bottom-up case studies, it showcases innovative and creative approaches, as well as the knowledge of those working towards swift decarbonisation, just transitions, and climate justice.Grassroots climate activism presents a rich body of material to be studied not only by anthropologists, sociologists, geographers, and political scientists, but also by scholars in the humanities and the creative arts. This timely handbook explores climate activism across six continents, and it provides perspectives from climate activists themselves. The authors interrogate a range of key questions: what forms of mobilisation, organisation, and practice constitute grassroots climate activism, and how have these changed over the last decade? What are the boundaries of the climate movement and how does it interact with, or differ from, other social movements? How do activists engage with the moral dimensions of the climate crisis? How do grassroots engagements with climate struggles give shape to plural, site-specific, but nonetheless interconnected, forms of climate activism? What tools do climate activists use to create functioning and effective local, national, and transnational networks? How has climate activism been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic? What is the relationship between critical scholarship and climate activism? What methodologies are particularly effective for studying climate activism, and why?This handbook aims to inspire others to devote more attention to grassroots climate activism. It brings together established and up-and-coming scholars, scholar-activists, and practitioners who present novel, cutting-edge research and new findings exploring current developments in different parts of the world. This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars of climate activism, climate solutions, climate and society, human-environmental crises, grassroots activism, and social movements. It will also be of interest to practitioners involved in climate action and to all those who are ready to launch their own grassroots initiatives, or support one of the many already underway.

Wilson, Janet M. / Schmidt-Haberkamp, Barbara et al. (eds.), Ecocritical Explorations of the Climate Crisis: Planetary Precarity and Future Habitability. (Routledge Studies in World Literatures and the Environment) 256 pp. 2024:11 (Routledge, UK) <731-958>
ISBN 978-1-03-246879-2 hard ¥37,422.- (税込) GB£ 135.00

Ecocritical Explorations of the Climate Crisis expands postcolonial precarity studies by addressing the current climate crisis and threats to the habitability of the planet from a range of ecocritical and environmental perspectives. The collection uses planetary thought-action praxis that acknowledges the interconnectedness of all forms of life in addressing the socioecological issues facing humanity: accelerating climate change, over-exploitation of natural resources, and the global north-south divide. With reference to contemporary cultural productions, such praxis seeks to examine the ideas, images and narratives that either represent or impede potential disasters like the so-called sixth extinction of the planet, that inspire the dismantling of carbon democracies arising in the wake of neoliberalism, and that address rising inequality with precarious conditions in the transition to renewable energy. The different chapters explore literary and visual representations of planetary precarity, identifying crisis-responsive genres and cultural formats, and assessing approaches to environment-re/making that call for repair, recovery and sustainability. In imagining future habitability they deploy diverse critical frameworks such as queer utopias, zero-waste lifestyles, alternative ecologies and adaptations to the uninhabitable. The collection tackles problems of global vulnerability and examines precarity as a condition of resilience and resistance through collective actions and solidarities and innovative constructions of the planet's survival as a shared home. It engages with current postcolonial debates, uses intersectional methodologies, and introduces contemporary literary, visual concepts and narrative types.

Johannsen, Kyle (ed.), Positive Duties to Wild Animals. (Routledge Environmental Ethics) 112 pp. 2024:12 (Routledge, UK) <731-66>
ISBN 978-1-03-289818-6 hard ¥37,422.- (税込) GB£ 135.00

This book further develops the interventionist literature on wild animal suffering using different theoretical frameworks, including some that have never previously been used to ground our positive duties to wild animals. Though we've always known that the wild is a nasty place where predators lethally attack prey, only recently have most animal ethicists come to realize that most wild animals fail to flourish. In fact, what we know about wild animal reproduction suggests that the majority of sentient beings born into the world may not even live lives worth living. It's not unreasonable for one to initially respond to the above with a sense of depressed resignation, but a growing number of ethicists believe that we both can and should intervene. The purpose of this book is to further develop the interventionist literature by bringing together philosophers who agree that we have significant duties to help wild animals, but who use different theoretical frameworks, or who disagree about the details, e.g., about the reasons that ground our obligations to help wild animals, about how those obligations should be classified, about the content of our obligations, about the means we should use to fulfill our obligations, etc. This book will be an invaluable resource for scholars, researchers and students of animal ethics, animal welfare, environmental ethics, philosophy, and sustainability. It was originally published as a special issue of the journal Ethics, Policy & Environment.

ISBN 978-1-03-270698-6 hard ¥13,856.- (税込) GB£ 49.99 *

Member states of the European Union often label themselves as the world's top Green Leaders. Air Protection in the European Union Member States examines the EU members' air protection policies by taking into consideration wider political, social, and economic perspectives.The book is divided into four chapters, each focusing on different aspects of the European Union's environmental policies and the member states' air protection efforts: "Green and Smart - The Development of the European Union's Environmental Policies", "Ever Cleaner Union and the Air Protection Concept", "Trends of Air Pollution in the European Union - Comparative Perspective", and "In-Depth Case Studies". These chapters provide a comparative approach to emerging emission trends within the European Union, paying particular attention to key events spanning 2020-2023, such as the implementation of the Green Deal, the reinterpretation of the meaning of public health caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the strategic withdrawal from hydrocarbons accelerated by the outbreak of war in Ukraine. Throughout the book, three main categories of states are characterized: leaders, second-raters, and laggards.Air Protection in the European Union Member States presents a combination of general discussions, legislative analyses, comparative studies, and detailed case studies, demonstrating the origin, development, and trends in air protection policies within the European Union. This uniquely interdisciplinary book will be a vital guide for students, researchers, and teachers in the fields of global studies, international relations, and political and economic science.

ISBN 978-1-00-915896-1 paper ¥4,712.- (税込) GB£ 17.00

The transition from the middle to late Holocene (5000-4000 BP) coincided with profound socioeconomic transformations and intensified regional and trans-regional interactions in late prehistoric China. These environmental and socioeconomic changes gave rise to diverse lifeways and settlement modes that constituted the foundation for the emergence of regional civilisations. In this Element, prehistoric China is divided roughly into the Highlands, Lowlands, and Coastal areas, each with unique environmental and ecological conditions and distinctive technological and economic traditions between 5000-4000 BP. The author gathers and reviews large amounts of environmental and archaeological data, and reconstructs brief environmental and settlement changes and lifeways. The author argues that environmental conditions and subsistence adaptations are two of the engines driving the increased socioeconomic complexity and rise of civilisations in the late prehistoric China. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

ISBN 978-1-03-207820-5 hard ¥37,422.- (税込) GB£ 135.00

This book explores the complex relationship between human rights and environmental protection. It analyses the concept of environmental procedural rights from a comparative perspective in the European Union, India, and China. Arguing the need to apply a holistic approach which acknowledges the interlinkages between democracy, environmental protection, and climate change, it examines both theoretical and practical dimensions of the topic, with case studies drawn from empirical research. The work highlights the important role of environmental procedural rights at the intersection of environmental law and human rights, emphasising the need for effective channels of communication between citizens and public authorities. The study calls for the taking into account of non-binding recommendations, such as the Maastricht Recommendations on Promoting Effective Public Participation in Environmental Matters for developing public participation procedures in a manner that allows authorities to tailor these to the needs and situations of marginalized people. The book will be a valuable resource for academics, researchers and policy makers working in the areas of Environmental Law, International Human Rights Law and Transnational Law and Governance.

Varvastian, Samvel, Human Rights Approaches to Planetary Crises: From Climate Change to Plastic Pollution. (Law, Justice and Ecology) 218 pp. 2024:11 (Routledge, UK) <731-487>
ISBN 978-1-03-256566-8 hard ¥37,422.- (税込) GB£ 135.00

This book analyses over twenty years of rights-based litigation in the areas of climate change and plastic pollution in order to assess the value of rights in confronting and overcoming planetary crises.We live in an age of planetary crises such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and plastic pollution, which take a huge toll on communities all around the world, endangering their fundamental interests. But can the lack of government action on these crises, or action that worsens them, amount to violations of human rights? Many courts are grappling with this question, as rights-based litigation becomes increasingly common. By focusing on climate change and plastic pollution as case studies, this book examines the viability of rights claims when confronting planetary crises in courts. From early attempts to pursue rights claims in response to planetary crises in the 2000s, to high-profile court wins in such cases in the 2010s, and to the spread of such cases across dozens of jurisdictions by the 2020s, rights claims in climate change and plastic pollution litigation have become a truly global phenomenon. Through a systematic and in-depth analysis of such litigation in more than thirty jurisdictions, this book identifies factors that determine the viability of rights claims when confronting planetary crises. It reveals that, even though not all litigation fora are equally favourable to such claims, human rights can indeed be successfully invoked in different types of legal action.This book will be of considerable interest to policymakers, legal scholars and practitioners, as well as students, who work in or study environmental and climate change law, human rights law, constitutional law, and international and comparative law.

This book brings together research and studies in the fields of organised crime and of 'green criminality' against the natural environment. By bringing the research traditions of organised crime and 'green criminology' into closer proximity and combining contributions on traditional organised crime and ecological crime in one volume, it questions the need to draw artificial dividing lines between criminological sub-disciplines. Including chapters on the illegal trade in cobalt, and in stolen motor vehicles, the illegal dog market, cross-border amber trafficking, deforestation, and environmental harm in the Norwegian industrial salmon farming, the book offers an important rapprochement between studies in organized crime and green criminology, and considers the operational differences between underworld and upperworld criminal economies.

ISBN 978-1-00-927110-3 paper ¥4,712.- (税込) GB£ 17.00

One Health emerges from the contingent scientific, social, and political realities of environmentalism. The concept mixes the land, sea, and sky with geopolitics on the global stages of the United Nations and World Health Organization. It inspires new investment in conservation and public health, motivates interdisciplinary collaboration, and in practice implicates green economies and animal law as well. This Element does not tackle all of this but attempts to situate One Health in the catastrophe of COVID-19; a socio-ecological upheaval prophetic of the inevitable next pandemic evolving from planetary climate crisis of our own making. One Health Environmentalism argues that humanity's future depends upon extending an olive branch to biotic communities, by being less speciesist and less blind to the rights in nature.

Pal, Mihir Kumar / Das, Pinaki (eds.), Informal Manufacturing and Environmental Sustainability: A Global Perspective. 384 pp. 2024:12 (Emerald, UK) <731-319>
ISBN 978-1-83549-999-3 hard ¥23,782.- (税込) US$ 115.00

The informal manufacturing sector, characterized by activities such as handicrafts, cottage industries, micro-enterprises, and small-scale industries, contributes significantly to local economies. It provides livelihoods for millions, representing a substantial portion of the global workforce and GDP. Despite its economic importance, this sector often operates outside the formal regulatory framework and thus faces unique challenges, especially in terms of environmental sustainability. Informal Manufacturing and Environmental Sustainability is a timely and significant contribution to the understanding of the informal manufacturing sector, a crucial yet often overlooked component of the global economy. The chapters emerge against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving global landscape, where the informal sector plays a pivotal role in employment, income generation, and economic development, particularly in developing and emerging countries. This comprehensive, multidisciplinary analysis draws on theories and empirical perspectives from economics, Environmental Studies, management, sociology, and engineering, among others, making it a valuable resource for a broad audience. It is an indispensable resource for policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and students interested in the intersection of informal manufacturing, environmental sustainability, and global economic dynamics.

Maltby, Tomas / Misik, Matus, Energy Transitions in Central and Eastern Europe: The Political Economy of Climate and Energy Policy. (Cambridge Studies on Environment, Energy and Natural Resources Governance) 264 pp. 2024:4 (Cambridge U. Pr., UK) <731-197>
ISBN 978-1-108-47713-0 hard ¥26,334.- (税込) GB£ 95.00

This book examines the mutual interplay of climate and energy policies in eleven Central and Eastern European countries in the context of the EU's energy transition. Energy security has long been prioritised in the region and has shaped not only national climate and energy policy, but also EU-level policy-making and implementation. Whilst the region shares economic, institutional and historical energy supplier commonalities it is not homogenous, and the book considers the significant differences between the preferences and policies of these member states. Chapters also explore the effect of the EU on member states that have joined since 2004 and their influence on the EU's energy and climate policies and their role in highlighting the importance of the concepts of security and solidarity. The book highlights the challenges to, and drivers of, energy transitions in the region and compares these with those in global energy transitions.
