Entrepreneur Dave Fick interviewed several hundred women and men who were willing to assume risks, often spectacular ones, for personal economic gain-but who did it legally, ethically, and who are now giving back to their nations and societies at least as much as they received. They speak openly of their hardships and failures, what they did right and what they did wrong, and their accounts are remarkable. We gain insight into the way business must be done under harsh political and economic circumstances, but we also learn unusual techniques and strategies that others in more favorable milieus can use to accomplish similar feats. With commentaries from notable scholars and other businesspeople and with Fick's own first-hand onsite observations, the book is a self-educating colloquium, a collection of personal meetings, accounts, letters, emails and telephone calls between Fick, his counterparts in Africa, and others around the world. It is also an attempt to encourage a dialogue that will accelerate the exchange and spread of knowledge and ideas, and a way to help the people of Africa build a peaceful and better society for themselves and the world.

In this small Iupiaq community, flooding and erosion are forcing community members to consider relocation as the only possible solution for long-term safety. However, a tangled web of policy obstacles, lack of funding, and organizational challenges leaves the community without a clear way forward, creating serious questions of how to maintain cultural identity under the new climate regime. Elizabeth Marino analyzes this unique and grounded example of a warming world as a confluence of political injustice, histories of colonialism, global climate change, and contemporary development decisions. The book merges theoretical insights from disaster studies, political analysis, and passages from field notes into an eminently readable text for a wide audience. This is an ethnography of climate change; a glimpse into the lived experiences of a global phenomenon.Human beingsEffect of climate onAlaskaShishmarefEthnologyAlaskaShishmarefClimatic changesAlaskaShishmarefIndigenous peoplesAlaskaShishmarefEcologyClimatChangementsÉtats-UnisAlaska (États-Unis)ramEthnologieÉtats-UnisAlaska (États-Unis)ramHommeEffets du climatÉtats-UnisAlaska (États-Unis)ramUmsiedlunggndKulturelle IdentitätgndKüstegndKlimaänderunggndInyupiatgndErosiongndRemote-sensing mapsfast(OCoLC)fst01094488Ethnoecologyfast(OCoLC)fst00970226Human beingsEffect of climate onfast(OCoLC)fst00962839Ethnologyfast(OCoLC)fst00916106Climatic changesfast(OCoLC)fst00864229Refugies ecologiquesAlaskaShishmarefÉtudes de casJustice environnementaleAlaskaShishmarefÉtudes de casInupiat (Inuits)AlaskaShishmarefRelations avec l'ÉtatramInupiat (Inuits)DeplacementAlaskaShishmarefEthnologieAlaskaShishmarefHommeInfluence du climatAlaskaShishmarefClimatChangementsAspect anthropologiqueAlaskaShishmareframEthnoecologyAlaskaShishmarefClimatic changesAlaskaShishmarefEthnologyAlaskaShishmarefHuman beingsEffect of climate onAlaskaShishmarefShishmaref (Alaska)Remote-sensing mapsAlaskaShishmareffastShishmaref (Alaska)Conditions environnementalesShishmaref (Alaska)MapsSpatiocartes.Remote-sensing maps.Remote-sensing maps.Human beingsEffect of climate onEthnologyClimatic changesIndigenous peoplesEcology.ClimatChangementsEthnologieHommeEffets du climatUmsiedlung.Kulturelle Identität.Küste.Klimaänderung.Inyupiat.Erosion.Remote-sensing maps.Ethnoecology.Human beingsEffect of climate on.Ethnology.Climatic changes.Refugies ecologiquesJustice environnementaleInupiat (Inuits)Relations avec l'État.Inupiat (Inuits)DeplacementEthnologieHommeInfluence du climatClimatChangementsAspect anthropologiqueEthnoecologyClimatic changesEthnologyHuman beingsEffect of climate on304.2/5097986Marino Elizabethaut1145997MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910956534403321Fierce Climate, Sacred Ground4358090UNINA
