Climate Change Temporalities: Explorations in Vernacular, Popular, and Scientific Discourse Kverndokk Kyrre

Climate Change Temporalities explores how various timescales, timespans, intervals, rhythms, cycles, and changes in acceleration are at play in climate change discourses. It argues that nuanced, detailed, and specific understandings and concepts are required to handle the challenges of a climatically changed world, politically and socially as well as scientifically. Rather than reflecting abstractly on theories of temporality, this edited collection explores a variety of timescales and temporalities from narratives, experience, popular culture, and everyday life in addition to science and history - and the entanglements between them. The chapters are clustered into three main sections, exploring a range of genres, such as questionnaires, interviews, magazines, news media, television series, aquariums, and popular science books to critically examine how and where climate

Siblings and Sociology

Sibling relationshipsare full of sociological intrigue. Siblings can pervade our everyday lives, shapingour identities and relationships through the life course, tapping into profound questions about who we are and who we can become, about family, relatedness, self and time. It is surprising then that the role of lateral ties between siblings has received relatively little sociological attention. Drawing upon innovative qualitative data sources and focussing on four key themes in sociological thought - self, relationality, imagination and time -Siblings and Sociology addresses this omission by exploring the sociological significance of siblingship. Grounded in theories of relatedness but spanning theoretical work on generation, life course, emotion, sensory worlds, normativity and identity, Siblings and Sociology demonstrates how and why siblings matter, asking what sociological

The Paradox of Water: The Science and Policy of Safe Drinking Water Venkataraman Bhawani

Water is a molecular marvel. Its seemingly simple formula--H2O--dictates the properties that make water both essential for life and easily contaminated. Herein lies the paradox of water: we cannot live without it, but it is easily rendered "unsafe." The Paradox of Water explores the intersection of the scientific, social, and policy implications around access to safe drinking water. Drinking water is the smallest fraction of water used by a nation. Yet, the quality of this fraction is what dictates whether a community is healthy, educated, and economically sustained.Bhawani Venkataraman argues that a deeper understanding of the chemical nature of water is crucial to appreciating the challenges around access to safe drinking water. Drawing on recent research and case studies from the US and abroad, this book offers students an understanding of: the processes and

A bolygók élete

A könyv a BBC nagy sikerű tévésorozatához kapcsolódik. A Merkúrt a közeli Nap forrósága árasztja el. A Vénuszt mindent felperzselő légköre teszi lakhatatlanná. A Mars, a vörös bolygó elvesztette légkörét, ezért elsivatagosodott. A Jupitert - hiába kétszer akkora, mint az összes többi bolygó együtt - főleg gázok alkotják, akárcsak a Naprendszer ékkövét, a gyönyörű Szaturnuszt. Az oldalán forgó Uránusz és a hideg, sötét Neptunusz két kisebb gázóriás, a Plútó, az egyik törpebolygó pedig fagyos sziklatömb. Ezek a Föld bolygótestvérei, amelyek mindegyike vad és tüzes folyamatokban keletkezett, de az élet még a két szomszédunkon sem tudta megvetni a lábát. Minél alaposabban megismerjük égi szomszédainkat, annál hihetetlenebb saját létezésünk, és annál értékesebbnek látjuk saját kék bolygónkat.

Fairy Tale

Legendary storyteller Stephen King goes into the deepest well of his imagination in this spellbinding novel about a seventeen-year-old boy who inherits the keys to a parallel world where good and evil are at war, and the stakes could not be higher - for their world or ours. Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a hit-and-run accident when he was ten, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself - and his dad. Then, when Charlie is seventeen, he meets a dog named Radar and her aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from it. Charlie starts doing jobs for Mr. Bowditch and loses his heart to Radar. Then, when Bowditch dies, he leaves Charlie a cassette tape telling a story no one would believe. What Bowditch knows, and has kept secret all his long life, is that inside the shed is a portal to another world.King's storytelling in Fairy Tale soars. This is a magnificent and terrifying tale about another world than ours, in which good is pitted against overwhelming evil, and a heroic boy - and his dog - must lead the battle.Číslo vydania 1Jazyky anglickyPočet strán 577Dátum uvedenia titulu 2023-06-08Rozmery 198x128x38Hmotnosť 418gTypPaperback

Il me semblait posséder déjà un passé qui formait un rempart face au danger. Nous n'étions pas uniquement en vie, nous étions à l'intérieur de la vie, dans ce qu'elle avait de plus beau et de plus incertain, de plus fragile et de plus puissant." C'est l'histoire d'une rencontre, celle d'une romancière et d'un jeune lecteur, le récit d'une passion, d'un bonheur que l'on conquiert. Nina Bouraoui décrit l'attente, l'espoir, la première fois... Avec pudeur et sobre poésie, elle fait briller l'amour comme une aurore.
