Alan Walks, "The Urban Political Economy and Ecology of Automobility: Driving Cities, Driving Inequality, Driving Politics"
English | 2014 | pages: 349 | ISBN: 0415706157 | PDF | 6,6 mb
Just how resilient are our urban societies to social, energy, environmental and/or financial shocks, and how does this vary among cities and nations? Can our cities be made more sustainable, and can environmental, economic and social collapse be staved off through changes in urban form and travel behaviour? How might rising indebtedness and the recent series of financial crises be related to automobile dependence and patterns of urban automobile use? To what extent does the system and economy of automobility factor in the production of urban socio-spatial inequalities, and how might these inequalities in mobility be understood and measured? What can we learn from the politics of mobility and social movements within cities? What is the role of automobility, and auto-dependence, in differentiating groups, both within cities and rural areas, and among transnational migrants moving across international borders? These are just some of the questions this book addresses.

Marcus Taylor, "The Political Ecology of Climate Change Adaptation: Livelihoods, agrarian change and the conflicts of development"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 1138237345, 1138237345 | PDF | pages: 225 | 1.6 mb
This book provides the first systematic critique of the concept of climate change adaptation within the field of international development. Drawing on a reworked political ecology framework, it argues that climate is not something 'out there' that we adapt to. Instead, it is part of the social and biophysical forces through which our lived environments are actively yet unevenly produced. From this original foundation, the book challenges us to rethink the concepts of climate change, vulnerability, resilience and adaptive capacity in transformed ways. With case studies drawn from Pakistan, India and Mongolia, it demonstrates concretely how climatic change emerges as a dynamic force in the ongoing transformation of contested rural landscapes. In crafting this synthesis, the book recalibrates the frameworks we use to envisage climatic change in the context of contemporary debates over development, livelihoods and poverty.

Ecology and the Critique of Society Today: Five Selected Papers for the Current Context By Herbert Marcuse, Peter-Erwin Jansen, Charles Reitz, Sarah Surak (editor)
2019 | 130 Pages | ISBN: 1692833715 | PDF | 64 MB
Herbert Marcuse's late-period writing featured a "green turn," not otherwise undertaken in Frankfurt School critical theory, with his essays "Ecology and Revolution (1972)" and "Ecology and the Critique of Modern Society (1979)." Marcuse found that environmentalist criticisms of extractive and polluting economic policies implicitly or explicitly involved system-negations. He recognized the importance of ecology for the revolutionary movement and the importance of the revolutionary movement for ecology. Marcuse held that the restoration of nature depends upon human liberation; both are feasible yet blocked within the established framework. The enduring value of his strategy for revolutionary ecological liberation is that system negation can have the appeal of a new general interest-offering a constellation of feasible (i.e. not utopian) goals-racial equality, women's equality, the liberation of labor, the restoration of nature, leisure, abundance, and peace, that can bring together a global alliance of transformative forces. The key is the emancipatory universalization of resistance-the revolt of youth as a global phenomenon- today against guns, war, and militarism, women's oppression, racial animosity, labor force precarity and exploitation, LGBTQ stigmatization, and the devastation of the earth, solidarity with immigrants, and for socialism.

Rowena Rae, "Rachel Carson and Ecology for Kids: Her Life and Ideas, with 21 Activities and Experiments (74) "
English | ISBN: 0897339339 | 2020 | 144 pages | EPUB | 7 MB
Rachel Carson was an American biologist, conservationist, science and nature writer, and catalyst of the modern environmental movement. She studied biology in college at a time when few women entered the sciences, and then worked as a biologist and information specialist for the US government and wrote about the natural world for many publications. Carson is best remembered for her book Silent Spring, which exposed the widespread misuse of chemical pesticides in the United States and sparked both praise and fury.

Primates in Flooded Habitats: Ecology and Conservation (Cambridge Studies in Biological and Evolutionary Anthropology) by Ikki Matsuda, Katarzyna Nowak, Adrian A. Barnett

The Balance of Nature: Ecology's Enduring Myth by John Kricher
English | April 1st, 2009 | ISBN: 0691138982 | 256 pages | True EPUB | 1.55 MB
The idea of a balance of nature has been a dominant part of Western philosophy since before Aristotle, and it persists in the public imagination and even among some ecologists today. In this lively and thought-provoking book, John Kricher demonstrates that nature in fact is not in balance, nor has it ever been at any stage in Earth's history. He explains how and why this notion of a natural world in balance has endured for so long, and he shows why, in these times of extraordinary human influence on the planet's ecosystems, it is critical that we accept and understand that evolution is a fact of life, and that ecology is far more dynamic than we ever imagined.
