Michael Menser's timely book We Decide! is arguably the most comprehensive treatment of participatory democracy. He explains the three waves of participatory democracy theory to show that this movement is attentive to the mechanics of contemporary political practices. Menser also outlines "maximal democracy," his own view of participatory democracy that expands people's abilities to shape their own lives, reduce inequality, and promote solidarity. We Decide! draws on liberal, feminist, anarchist, and environmental justice philosophies as well as in-depth case studies of Spanish factory workers, Japanese housewives, and Brazilian socialists to show that participatory democracy actually works. Menser concludes his study by presenting a reconstructed version of the state that is shaped not by corporations but by inclusive communities driven by municipal workers, elected officials, and ordinary citizens working together. In this era of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, the participatory democracy proposed in We Decide! is more significant than ever"--Provided by publisher.Political participationCross-cultural studiesDemocracyCross-cultural studiesPolitics, PracticalCross-cultural studiesSocial changeCross-cultural studiesPolitical sciencePhilosophyPolitical participationDemocracyPolitics, PracticalSocial changePolitical sciencePhilosophy.321.8POL007000PHI019000bisacshMenser Michael1654040MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814433403321We decide4005611UNINA04851nam 22008175 450 991029944360332120200705020243.03-319-08518-210.1007/978-3-319-08518-0(CKB)3710000000249055(EBL)1965341(OCoLC)892913863(SSID)ssj0001353929(PQKBManifestationID)11773464(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001353929(PQKBWorkID)11322358(PQKB)10764380(DE-He213)978-3-319-08518-0(MiAaPQ)EBC1965341(PPN)181347946(EXLCZ)99371000000024905520140929d2015 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrStorm-triggered Landslides in Warmer Climates /by Diandong Ren1st ed. 2015.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2015.1 online resource (365 p.)Description based upon print version of record.3-319-08517-4 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.Introduction -- Ecosystem of sloping terrain, soil and vegetation -- Landslides are a double-edged sword -- Strain and Stress -- Landslide dynamics -- SEGMENT-Landslide and applications on various climatic zones -- Changes in extreme precipitation in a future warming climate -- Landslides impact on sea level rise -- Modeling the debris flows in the aftermath of the 2007 Southern California Wildfires -- Opportunity and challenges in a remote sensing era -- The path forward: Landslides in a future climate -- Mathematical skills required to fully understand SEGMENT-Landslide -- Appendix 1: Pressure fields within a simplest granular media - A comment on a recent Science article on locomotors running over sands -- Appendix 2: Cluster analysis -- Appendix 3: Scarp size distribution, who are the players? -- Appendix 4: Basic tensor (and vector) operations -- Appendix 5: GPD analysis of extreme precipitation -- Appendix C1: Lax-Windoff scheme of various order of accuracy (1D followed by a higher order scheme implemented in SEGMENT-Landslide -- Appendix C2: 1D thermal equation solver (semi-implicit C-N scheme).This volume covers the general physics of debris flows and various approaches to modeling - including the SEGMENT-Landslide approach – as well as the pros and cons of these approaches, and how other approaches are sub-sets of the SEGMENT-Landslide approach. In addition, this volume will systematically unify the concepts of vadose zone hydrology and geotechnical engineering, with special emphasis on quantifying ecosystem consequences of storm-triggered landslides in a warmer climate setting. The reader will find a comprehensive coverage of concepts ranging from hillslope hydrology, porous granular material rheology, and the fundamentals of soil properties to state-of-the-art concepts of enhanced hydrological cycle with climate warming, finishing with a discussion of new approaches for future research.Natural disastersClimatic changesGeology, StructuralHydrogeologyAtmospheric scienceSoil scienceSoil conservationNatural Hazardshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000Climate Change/Climate Change Impactshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/313000Structural Geologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17040Hydrogeologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G19005Atmospheric Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G36000Soil Science & Conservationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000Natural disasters.Climatic changes.Geology, Structural.Hydrogeology.Atmospheric science.Soil science.Soil conservation.Natural Hazards.Climate Change/Climate Change Impacts.Structural Geology.Hydrogeology.Atmospheric Sciences.Soil Science & Conservation.55551551.4551.5Ren Diandongauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1064266BOOK9910299443603321Storm-triggered Landslides in Warmer Climates2537207UNINA
