Sommario/riassunto |
|
Every human action consumes energy: heating, cooling, hot water, electricity and transport requirements – all of these require energy. But climate change demands that our energy needs also change, that we use more and more renewable energies and less and less C02. To do this, we must look at area requirements. In other words, what area per energy quantity per year does a renewable energy source require? Which sources require additional sealing and land use? How strongly does the production of renewable energy compete with other area and land uses? And what are the consequences for spatial and regional planning? The following publication will help answer these questions by providing a catalogue of area requirements for renewable energy sites. In addition, it makes clear that achieving integrated and regional energy planning involves not only energy technology, but requires further research into planning and participation processes. The concept of a regional cooperation area shows great potential in this aspect |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"Affliction: Health, Disease, Poverty inaugurates a novel way of understanding the trajectories of health and disease in the context of poverty. It traces the unfolding of illness within families, local communities, neighborhood markets and in occult worlds. Privileging the experience of people living in these neighborhoods it asks how can global health be made to take this experience into account rather than escape from it?"--Provided by publisher. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This edited collection aims at highlighting the various uses of water in sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth-century England, while exploring the tensions between those who praised the curative virtues of waters and those who rejected them for their supposedly harmful effects. Divided into three balanced sections, the collection includes contributions from renowned specialists of early modern culture and literature as well as rising young scholars as it seeks to establish a dialogue between different methodologies, and explain why the spa-related issues examined still resonate in today's society. Sophie Chiari is Professor of English Literature at the Université Clermont Auvergne, France, specializing in ecocritical studies. Previous publications include Shakespeare's Representation of Weather, Climate and Environment (2019). She is currently working on Shakespeare's Environment: A Dictionary (2021). Samuel Cuisinier-Delorme is a lecturer at the Université Clermont Auvergne where his research focuses on English Literature from the 16th _18th centuries. Samuel lives and works in Vichy, where he is developing research projects on waters and balneology. He is currently planning a seminar on spa literature and is also working on a forthcoming book in French on the same topic, Regards sur le thermalisme européen du Moyen Âge au XIXe siècle (2021). |
