    Content: What does gentrification look like? Can we even agree that it is a process that replaces one community with another? It is a question of class? Or of economic opportunity? Who does it affect the most? Is there any way to combat it? Leslie Kern, author of the best selling Feminist City, travels from Toronto, New York, London, Paris and San Francisco and scrutinises the myth and lies that surround this most urgent urban crisis of our times. First observed in 1950s London, and theorised by leading thinkers such as Ruth Glass, Jane Jacobs and Sharon Zukin, this devastating process of displacement now can be found in every city and most neighbourhoods. Beyond the Yoga studio, farmer's market and tattoo parlour, gentrification is more than a metaphor, but impacts the most vulnerable communities. Kern proposes an intersectional way at looking at the crisis that seek to reveal the violence based on class, race, gender and sexuality. She argues that gentrification is not natural That it can not be understood in economics terms, or by class. That it is not a question of taste. That it can only be measured only by the physical displacement of certain people. Rather, she argues, it is an continuation of the setter colonial project that removed natives from their land. And it can be seen today is rising rents and evictions, transformed retail areas, increased policing and broken communities. But if gentrification is not inevitable, what can we do to stop the tide? In response, Kern proposes a genuinely decolonial, feminist, queer, anti-gentrification. One that demands the right to the city for everyone and the return of land and reparations for those who have been displaced.

    Ken Ring's New Zealand weather almanac 2024 (2023)

    Series Statement: Ken Ring's New Zealand weather almanac
    Content: Ken Ring is the author of over 70 books on weather and climate in Australia, NZ and Ireland. He advises a wide range of companies, event organisers, government departments, and community bodies, and was for many years long-range consultant for Channel Seven in Australia.
    Content: "A4 format, 337 pages of rain maps, frost and snow, max+min temps, daily summaries, and all the original tables and seasonal summaries. As well there are diaries, for snow, significant events, fishing calendar, gardening guide, earthquake diary. Includes a lengthy update of solar and lunar cycles. The work allows you to calculate the weather for any day of the year ahead. By examining lunar orbits and seasonal cycles and analysing trends using state-of-the-art technology, this invaluable, best-selling outdoor companion provides easy- to-use weather forecasting for the whole country."--Publisher
    Note: Ring ist dafür bekannt, dass er versucht, das Wetter vorherzusagen und Bücher über den Einfluss des Mondes auf das Wetter verfasst, darunter einen jährlichen Almanach für Neuseeland (seit 1999), Australien (seit 2006) und Irland (seit 2010). Er glaubt, dass der Zyklus des Wetters einem Mondmuster folgt und dazu verwendet werden kann, das Wetter viele Jahre im Voraus vorherzusagen. Der angebliche Mondzyklus, den Ring verwendet, soll alle 9 Jahre stattfinden, obwohl es einen solchen Mondzyklus in Wirklichkeit gar nicht gibt, während der Sonnenzyklus sich in 11-jährigen Abständen wiederholt, und Ring glaubt, dass das Wetter einen 355-Tage-Zyklus, einen 19-Jahres-Zyklus und einen 36-Jahres-Zyklus durchläuft, wenn man beide miteinander vergleicht. Laut seiner Website handelt es sich dabei nicht um eine exakte Wissenschaft - es hat sich gezeigt, dass sie keiner wissenschaftlichen Methodik folgt. Auf die Frage nach den erwiesenen Ungenauigkeiten seiner Vorhersagen hat Ring behauptet, dass seine Niederschlagsvorhersagen um 24 Stunden und einen Radius von 50 bis 60 Meilen (80 bis 97 km) daneben liegen können. Am 1. Februar 2023 hat er in einem Kommentar auf seiner Facebook-Seite die Zeitspanne, die seine Vorhersagen daneben liegen können, auf 168 Stunden (1 Woche) erweitert. , The almanac includes: * Rain, sun, wind, frost and snow predictions by month * Daily weather maps * Daily short forecast for every major centre * Regional rainfall expectations * Extreme weather warnings * Expected temperatures, sunshine and rainfall for over 60 locations. * Graphs of weather trends * Fishing, gardening and skiing diaries * Earthquake timings

    ISBN: 0813526965
    Content: "Hot Towns is about the current, vast national relocation of one million Americans a year, who take with them assets greater than the entire real estate value of New York City. Successful, accomplished, and well-financed people of all ages are moving to communities they view as choice - places distinguished by fine climate, physical beauty, abundant natural recreation resources, and minimal social problems and low crime."--BOOK JACKET
    Content: "These American boom towns, Peter Wolf writes, have grown in jobs and population at two to three times the national average. But warning signs of deterioration are already evident: overbuilding, failing natural resources, rising taxes, and traffic congestion are all taking a toll on these communities."--BOOK JACKET
    Content: "Wolf demonstrates how it is possible - even during a town's rapid expansion - to enhance the quality of residents' lives, to incorporate aesthetics and design into town evolution, to protect what is precious in nature, and to preserve the best that has already been built."--BOOK JACKET

    Content: Volcanoes are capable of acts of pyrotechnical prowess verging on magic: they spout black magma more fluid than water, create shimmering cities of glass at the bottom of the ocean and frozen lakes of lava on the moon, and can even tip entire planets over. Between lava that melts and re-forms the landscape, and noxious volcanic gases that poison the atmosphere, volcanoes have threatened life on Earth countless times in our planet’s history. Yet despite their reputation for destruction, volcanoes are inseparable from the creation of our planet.Super VolcanoesWalking us through the mechanics of some of the most infamous eruptions on Earth, Andrews outlines what we know about how volcanoes form, erupt, and evolve, as well as what scientists are still trying to puzzle out. How can we better predict when a deadly eruption will occur—and protect communities in the danger zone? Is Earth’s system of plate tectonics, unique in the solar system, the best way to forge a planet that supports life? And if life can survive and even thrive in Earth’s extreme volcanic environments—superhot, superacidic, and supersaline surroundings previously thought to be completely inhospitable—where else in the universe might we find it?Traveling from Hawai‘i, Yellowstone, Tanzania, and the ocean floor to the moon, Venus, and Mars, Andrews illuminates the cutting-edge discoveries and lingering scientific mysteries surrounding these phenomenal forces of nature.

    Uniform Title: Face à Gaïa
    Content: "The emergence of modern sciences in the seventeenth century profoundly renewed our understanding of Nature. For the last three centuries new ideas of Nature have been continuously developed by theology, politics, economics, and science, especially the sciences of the material world. The situation is even more unstable today, now that we have entered an ecological mutation of unprecedented scale. Some call it the Anthropocene, but it is best described as a new climatic regime. And a new regime it certainly is, since the many unexpected connections between human activity and the natural world oblige every one of us to reopen the earlier notions of Nature and redistribute what had been packed inside. So the question now arises: what will replace the old ways of looking at Nature? This book explores a potential candidate proposed by James Lovelock when he chose the name "Gaia" for the fragile, complex system through which living phenomena modify the Earth. The fact that he was immediately misunderstood proves simply that his readers have tried to fit this new notion into an older frame, transforming Gaia into a single organism, a kind of giant thermostat, some sort of New Age goddess, or even divine Providence. In this series of lectures on "natural religion", Bruno Latour argues that the complex and ambiguous figure of Gaia offers, on the contrary, an ideal way to disentangle the ethical, political, theological, and scientific aspects of the now obsolete notion of Nature. He lays the groundwork for a future collaboration among scientists, theologians, activists, and artists as they, and we, begin to adjust to the new climatic regime"--

    Content: John Ogilby's life is an astonishing picaresque adventure which is so fantastic as to be unbelievable. And yet very little is known about the man himself and his legacy has faded into obscurity. Ereira's fascinating biography is about to change all that. Ogilby created himself out of nothing three times; by the lottery ticket that allowed an 11-year-old urchin to buy an apprenticeship and dance at court, by the translation that turned a 48-year-old shipwrecked prisoner into a national poet, and by the swift mastery of surveying that turned a 65-year-old homeless victim of the Great Fire into the man who was paid to map London. Perhaps best known for creating the most celebrated road atlas of England and Wales, Britannia, this apparently harmless book turned out to be a well-researched handbook for where to land a French army of conquest in accordance with the secret treaty between Charles II and Louis XIV. Ereira unpicks the hidden details of this incredible man for the first time. Living through war in Europe, England and Ireland, surviving plague, fire, explosions and imprisonment, everything he did was driven by his vision of cosmic order. This book will shock, entertain and inform

    Series Statement: Springer Series on Environmental Management
    Content: This series is dedicated to serving the growing community of scholars and practitioners concemed with the principles and applications of environ mental management. Each volume is a thorough treatment of a specific topic of importance for proper management practices. A fundamental objective of these books is to help the reader discem and implement man's stewardship of our environment and the world's renewable re sources. For we must strive to understand the relationship between man and nature, act to bring harmony to it, and nurture an environment that is both stable and productive. These objectives have often eluded us because the pursuit of other individual and societal goals has diverted us from a course of living in balance with the environment. At times, therefore, the environmental manager may have to exert restrictive control, which is usually best applied to man, not nature. Attempts to alter or hamess nature have often failed or backfired, as exemplified by the results of imprudent use of herbicides, fertilizers, water, and other agents. Each book in this series will shed light on the fundamental and applied aspects of environmental management. It is hoped that each will help solve a practical and serious environmental problem
