It is both alarming and hopeful. James Gustave Speth, renowned as a visionary environmentalist leader, warns that in spite of all the international negotiations and agreements of the past two decades, efforts to protect Earths environment are not succeeding. Still, he says, the challenges are not insurmountable. He offers comprehensive, viable new strategies for dealing with environmental threats around the world.The author explains why current approaches to critical global environmental problemsclimate change, biodiversity loss, deterioration of marine environments, deforestation, water shortages, and othersdont work. He offers intriguing insights into why we have been able to address domestic environmental threats with some success while largely failing at the international level. Setting forth eight specific steps to a sustainable future, Speth convincingly argues that dramatically different government and citizen action are now urgent. If ever a book could be described as essential, this is it.Yale Nota bene.Global environmental changeEnvironmental protectionGlobalizationEnvironmental aspectsEnvironmental policyUnited StatesEnvironmental protectionUnited StatesGlobal environmental change.Environmental protection.GlobalizationEnvironmental aspects.Environmental policyEnvironmental protection363.700973Speth James Gustave1600496MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820307203321Red sky at morning3923631UNINA03208nam 22005655 450 991030003960332120200930211400.03-319-96577-810.1007/978-3-319-96577-2(CKB)4100000006999289(MiAaPQ)EBC5541265(DE-He213)978-3-319-96577-2(EXLCZ)99410000000699928920181004d2018 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierConversion Narratives in Early Modern England Tales of Turning /by Abigail Shinn1st ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2018.1 online resource (262 pages)Early Modern Literature in History,2634-59193-319-96576-X Introduction -- Chapter 1: The Convert and the Book -- Chapter Two: Crafting the Convert -- Chapter 3: Narrative Topographies and the Geographies of Conversion -- Chapter 4: Corporeal Rhetoric: Perception and Proof in the Conversion Narrative -- Bibliography.This book is a study of English conversion narratives between 1580 and 1660. Focusing on the formal, stylistic properties of these texts, it argues that there is a direct correspondence between the spiritual and rhetorical turn. Furthermore, by focusing on a comparatively early period in the history of the conversion narrative the book charts for the first time writers’ experimentation and engagement with rhetorical theory before the genre’s relative stabilization in the 1650s. A cross confessional study analyzing work by both Protestant and Catholic writers, this book explores conversion’s relationship with reading; the links between conversion, eloquence, translation and trope; the conflation of spiritual movement with literal travel; and the use of the body as a site for spiritual knowledge and proof.Early Modern Literature in History,2634-5919Literature, ModernBritish literatureTheater—HistoryChristianityEarly Modern/Renaissance Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/817000British and Irish Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000Theatre Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415010Christianityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A3000Literature, Modern.British literature.Theater—History.Christianity.Early Modern/Renaissance Literature.British and Irish Literature.Theatre History.Christianity.809.933824824Shinn Abigailauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut981912BOOK9910300039603321Conversion Narratives in Early Modern England2240972UNINA03761nam 22004695 450 991025487300332120200629201341.0981-10-0218-510.1007/978-981-10-0218-2(CKB)3710000000617195(EBL)4454396(DE-He213)978-981-10-0218-2(MiAaPQ)EBC4454396(EXLCZ)99371000000061719520160319d2016 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierNational Test System Design of China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone /by Lin Xiao1st ed. 2016.Singapore :Springer Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2016.1 online resource (445 p.)Description based upon print version of record.981-10-0217-7 Chapter 1.

It puts forward and explains the idea that building the Shanghai Pilot Free-Trade Zone (SFTZ) is a national test, as it is a major strategic decision to help China cope with the new situation resulting from opening-up and the further implementation of the reform. Based on China’s strategic demand in the era of globalization, this book takes into account the global structure of trade, investment and changes in standards, and studies the system of SFTZ. Moreover, based on the national strategy of building international-caliber free-trade zone, it compares the SFTZ with other established free-trade zones and free-port cities. It reveals the overall SFTZ framework and explains in detail aspects of the financial system, investment management, trade supervision, taxation, offshore trade and finance, government system reform, plus the linkage mechanism of building Shanghai as an international economy, finance, trade and shipping center.Development economicsPublic financeDevelopment Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000Public Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34000Development economics.Public finance.Development Economics.Public Economics.330Xiao Linauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut933188BOOK9910254873003321National Test2100410UNINA
