Globalization and the Environment critically explores the actors, politics and processes that govern the relationship between globalization and the environment. Taking key aspects of globalisation in turn - trade, production and finance - the book highlights the relations of power at work that determine whether globalization is managed in a sustainable way and on whose behalf. Each chapter looks in turn at the political ecology of these central pillars of the global economy, reviewing evidence of its impact on diverse ecologies and societies, its governance - the political structures, institutions and policy making processes in place to manage this relationship - and finally efforts to contest and challenge these prevailing approaches. The book makes sense of the relationship between globalisation and the environment using a range of theoretical tools from different disciplines. This helps to place the debate about the compatibility between globalisation and sustainability in an explicitly political and historical context in which it is possible to appreciate the ‘nature’ of interests and power relations that privilege some ways of responding to environmental problems over others in a context of globalisation.

The Monster is an 1898 novella by American author Stephen Crane (1871-1900). The story takes place in the small, fictional town of Whilomville, New York. An African-American coachman named Henry Johnson, who is employed by the town's physician, Dr. Trescott, becomes horribly disfigured after he saves Trescott's son from a fire. When Henry is branded a "monster" by the town's residents, Trescott vows to shelter and care for him, resulting in his family's exclusion from the community. The fictional town of Whilomville, which is used in 14 other Crane stories, was based on Port Jervis, New York, where Crane lived with his family for a few years during his youth. It is thought that he took inspiration from several local men who were similarly disfigured, although modern critics have made numerous connections between the story and the 1892 lynching in Port Jervis of an African-American man named Robert Lewis. A study of prejudice, fear and isolation in a small town, the novella was first published in Harper's Magazine in August 1898. A year later it was included in The Monster and Other Stories-the last collection of Crane's work to be published during his lifetime. After being admonished by his father, Dr. Ned Trescott, for damaging a peony while playing in his family's yard, young Jimmie Trescott visits his family's coachman, Henry Johnson. Henry, who is described as "a very handsome negro," "known to be a light, a weight, and an eminence in the suburb of the town,"[20] is friendly toward Jimmie. Later that evening Henry dresses smartly and saunters through town-inciting catcalls from friends and ridicule from the local white men-on his way to call on the young Bella Farragut, who is extremely taken with him. That same evening, a large crowd gathers in the park to hear a band play. Suddenly, the nearby factory whistle blows to alert the townspeople of a fire in the second district of the town; men gather hose-carts and head toward the blaze that is quickly spreading throughout Dr. Trescott's house. Mrs. Trescott is saved by a neighbor, but cannot locate Jimmie, who is trapped inside. Henry appears from the crowd and rushes into the house in search of the boy, finding him unharmed in his bedroom. Unable to retreat the way he came, Henry carries Jimmie, wrapped in a blanket, to the doctor's laboratory and the hidden stairway that leads outside. He discovers the fire has blocked this way out as well and collapses beside Dr. Trescott's desk. A row of nearby jars shatters from the heat, spilling molten chemicals upon Henry's upturned face...

"Iván enciende un cohete en el sótano que rompe el techo y atraviesa cada piso, dejando un reguero de desastres y un agujero en cada página."--Publisher's description.

Le capitalisme est-il en mesure d’apporter une réponse aux défis du changement climatique ? Peut-on imaginer un capitalisme d’un genre différent, capable d’assurer la croissance économique tout en étant moins dépendant des énergies fossiles ? Si oui, comment y parvenir ? Ce sont les questions ambitieuses que pose cet ouvrage. Il ne s’agit pas seulement des technologies ou des mesures envisageables pour aborder ces défis. Il est surtout question de stratégie, de politique et de pouvoir, et de savoir comment amener les intérêts en jeu et les acteurs détenteurs du pouvoir à converger vers une transformation des modes de développement. Climat et capitalisme montre que des choses nouvelles et surprenantes sont en train d’émerger en matière de politique climatique. L’ouvrage explore le processus de « décarbonisation » de l’économie, dans sa logique et sa complexité. Etant donné la domination du capitalisme et des idéologies libérales, cette décarbonisation dépendra de la création de marchés du carbone auxquels s’associeront les principaux acteurs de l’économie mondiale. L’ouvrage étudie les dilemmes que cela pose, ainsi que la nécessité de remettre en question le pouvoir de nombreux acteurs sur les marchés, la culture de l’énergie et les inégalités mondiales en matière de consommation énergétique. L'ouvrage s’adresse à tous ceux qui souhaitent mieux comprendre les enjeux des défis climatiques et plus particulièrement aux étudiants et chercheurs dans les domaines de l’environnement, du développement et des relations internationales.
