Air & Light & Time & Space
How Successful Academics Write
Helen Sword - 2017-04-17
Рейтинг Goodreads
Discover how successful academics find "air and light and time and space" to get their writing done in this essential guide for aspiring writers. Author Helen Sword interviewed 100 academics worldwide to uncover the four cornerstones of successful writing: discipline and persistence, craftsmanship and care, collegiality and collaboration, and positivity and pleasure. Grounded in research and focused on sustainable change, this customizable blueprint offers a refreshing perspective on the writing process and exposes the lack of writing support available to early-career academics.

@jnoisecat This book, written for academics but useful for everyone writing non-fiction, I think. 3/n      источник

Теория нравственных чувств
Adam Smith - 2006-12-01 (впервые опубликовано в 1759)
Рейтинг Goodreads
Российскому читателю Адам Смит известен больше как ученый-экономист, чем философ. После столетнего перерыва мы получаем возможность возобновить знакомство со Смитом - автором оригинального этического сочинения. Его труд раскрывает важнейшую роль нравственности в обществе и жизни человечества. Смит убежден, что "богатство народов" создается именно теми людьми, которые не только преуспевают в практической деятельности, но и наделены "высокими добродетелями". Книга рассчитана на широкий круг читателей.

@jgkoomey @jg_environ @GlobalEcoGuy @emorwee @MaryHeglar @GhoshAmitav One of my favorite Bay Area moments was being at a dinner with a bunch of tech bros and having one of them ask me, after I scoffed at some libertarian platitude he had just spouted, if I knew Adam Smith and I said "Yes, Theory of the Moral Sentiments is one of my fave books."      источник

I finally got a chance to read @MichaelEMann The New Climate War, and I thought it was great—and not just because I was quoted in it haha. The book is a excellent primer covering the "inactivist" strategies used by fossil-fuel interests (even those in the climate space 👀 ). 💯      источник

@JacquelynGill I'm not sure gender differences among children under the age of 10 are so extreme that you need a special book about how to raise feminist boys in particular. But here are some feminist and queer positive books about sexuality for pre-teens and teens. 👇      источник

Рейтинг Goodreads
Двадцатые годы нашего века. Климат продолжает меняться и жертвы исчисляются миллионами. В 2025 году создается международная организация «Министерство будущего» со штаб-квартирой в Цюрихе. Министерство должно пытаться предотвратить глобальную катастрофу и дать надежду будущим поколениям. Наравне с принятием официальных мер организация быстро приходит к использованию тайных операций… Операций, которые включают в себя массовые диверсии, убийства, финансовые манипуляции, насилие, поддержку радикальных политических движений и идеологий. Ради спасения Земли от полного вымирания дозволено все. Ким Стэнли Робинсон, основываясь на существующих тенденциях, показывает свое видение возможных событий ближайшего будущего. Панорама, которую он рисует, охватывает все сферы: экономику, политику, технологии, экологию. И что особенно ценно – автор остается оптимистом и видит путь для спасения человечества.

Environment and Statecraft
The Strategy of Environmental Treaty-Making
Scott Barrett - 2006-01-05 (впервые опубликовано в 2003)
Рейтинг Goodreads
Discover how states can effectively cooperate to address environmental problems like climate change and ozone depletion. Environmental treaties are key to promoting global cooperation, but why do some succeed while others fail? This book delves into the theory behind treaty design and how it can be improved. With insights from economics, political science, and game theory, the book analyzes over 300 treaties and case studies on issues like over-fishing and global climate change. Its essential lesson: treaties must restructure the game to incentivize countries to act in their best interest.

This 2005 book is a real artifact of old-style mainstream climate discourse. Not a denier text *at all*, it nonetheless represents climate change as 1) marked by extreme uncertainty, 2) adaptable by market forces, 3) a benefit for the global north, 4) a boon for plant life. 1/2      источник
