Penury into Plenty Dearth and the Making of Knowledge in Early Modern England

Penury into Plenty Dearth and the Making of Knowledge in Early Modern England

Penury into Plenty: Dearth and the Making of Knowledge in Early Modern England is an original examination of cultural meanings of dearth and famine in England at the turn of the sixteenth century. It focuses on the socio-economic and ecological crises of the 1590s investigating the effects of widespread fears of famine on mundane activities and knowledge making by analyzing the remedial measures undertaken by the early modern English to illustrate their commitment to resource management. The activities theories and publications of the prolific ‘dearth scientist’ Sir Hugh Platt are considered alongside other forms of literature such as sermons plays poetry and prose fiction to explain not only what dearth or famine meant in the period but how contemporaries understood sustainable resource management. By drawing upon environmental economic scientific and literary history and theory Penury into Plenty allows modern readers to see that sustainability is not a wholly modern concept and the investigation of cultural forms of ecological consciousness and social consequences of past environmental change is vital for understanding contemporary concerns. | Penury into Plenty Dearth and the Making of Knowledge in Early Modern England

More than Bouncing Back Examining Community Resilience Theory and Practice

More than Bouncing Back Examining Community Resilience Theory and Practice

As the concept of community resilience moves from the margins of practice and theoretical research to more mainstream scholarship critical issues of conceptualization and use emerge. This is particularly true at the intersection of community development practice and community resilience theory. This book teases out limitations with current conceptualizations of community resilience offers enhanced and alternative conceptualizations and presents compelling case studies of new conceptualizations in action. This book is a starting place for scholarly conversations about the role of community resilience in community development practice. The frameworks presented here will continue to gain more support in academic and non-academic arenas as resilience rhetoric increases in popularity. However it is crucial for community practitioners to use these frameworks to actively cultivate resilience in their communities by building adaptive capacity in systematic ways. To move the field of community resilience forward it is critical to understand the nuances of context and conditions in communities and how broader conceptualizations of resilience account for and utilize context to build adaptive capacity. This book was originally published as a special issue in the journal Community Development. | More than Bouncing Back Examining Community Resilience Theory and Practice

More-than-One Health Humans Animals and the Environment Post-COVID

More-than-One Health Humans Animals and the Environment Post-COVID

This edited volume examines the complex entanglements of human animal and environmental health. It assembles leading scholars from the humanities social sciences natural sciences and medicine to explore existing One Health approaches and to envision a mode of health that is both more-than-human and also more sensitive to and explicit about colonial and neocolonial legacies—urging the decolonization of One Health. While acknowledging the importance of One Health the volume at the same time critically examines its roots highlighting the structural biases and power dynamics still at play in this global health regime. The volume is distinctive in its geographic breadth. It travels from Inuit sled dogs in the Arctic to rock hyraxes in Jerusalem from black-faced spoonbills in Taiwan to street dogs in India from spittle-bugs on Mallorca’s almond trees to jellyfish management at sea and from rabies in sub-Saharan Africa to massive culling practices in South Korea. Together the contributors call for One Health to move toward a more transparent plural and just perception of health that takes seriously the role of more-than-humans and of nonscientific knowledges pointing to ways in which One Health can—and should—be decolonized. This volume will appeal to researchers and practitioners in the medical humanities posthumanities environmental humanities science and technology studies animal studies multispecies ethnography anthrozoology and critical public health.

Poor No More Rethinking Dependency and the War on Poverty

Poor No More Rethinking Dependency and the War on Poverty

In the 1960s America set out to end poverty. Policy-makers put forth an unprecedented package of legislation funding poverty programs and empowering the poor through ineffectual employment-related education and training. However these handouts produced little change and efforts to provide education and job-training proved inconsequential boasting only a 2. 8 percent decrease in the poverty rate since 1965. Decades after the War on Poverty began many of its programs failed. Only one thing really worked to help end poverty-and that was work itself the centerpiece of welfare reform in 1996. Poor No More is a plan to restructure poverty programs prioritizing jobs above all else. Traditionally job placement programs stemmed from non-profit organizations or government agencies. However America Works the first for-profit job placement venture founded by Peter Cove has the highest employee retention rate in the greater New York City area even above these traditional agencies. When the federal government embraced the work-first ideal inspired by the success of America Works welfare rolls plummeted from 12. 6 million to 4. 7 million nationally within one decade. Poor No More is a paradigm-shifting work that guides the reader through the evolution of America's War on Poverty and urges policy-makers to eliminate training and education programs that waste time and money and to adopt a work-first model while providing job-seekers with the tools and life lessons essential to finding and maintaining employment. | Poor No More Rethinking Dependency and the War on Poverty

This book was originally pubished in 2000. China is the largest developing country in the world and is still heavily based on agriculture. Currently about 70 per cent of China's total of more than one bilion people live in rural areas and about half of the total national labour force is involved in agricultural activities. It is clear that agriculture is the foundation for the development of the Chinese national economy. Within agriculture the grain economy is the most important sector: indeed it has been recognised as a treasure in managing the country by all past Chinese dynasties. Ensuring enough grain supply to meet the demands of such a huge population seems to be a long-term goal for the Chinese government and this book explores whether China will be able to produce enough grain to keep pace with its population increases. | China's Grain Economy The Challenge of Feeding More Than a Billion

Horses Power and Place A More-Than-Human Geography of Equine Britain

Horses Power and Place A More-Than-Human Geography of Equine Britain

Horses Power and Place explores the evolution of humanity’s relationship with horses from early domestication through to the use of the horse as a draught animal an agricultural industrial and military asset and an animal of sport and leisure. Taking an historical approach and using Britain as a case study this is the first book-length exploration of the horse in the more-than-human geography of a nation. It traces the role and implications of horse-based mobility for the evolution of settlement structure urban morphology and the rural landscape. It maps the growth and various uses of horses to the point of ‘peak horse’ in the early twentieth century before considering the contemporary place of the horse in twenty-first century economy and society. It assesses the role of the horse in the formation of places within Britain and in the formation of the nation. The book reflects on the implications of this historical and contemporary equine geography for animal geographies and animal studies. It argues for the study of animals in general in how places are made not just by humans. Written in a clear and accessible style this book will be essential reading for students and scholars of animal geography and animal studies more widely. | Horses Power and Place A More-Than-Human Geography of Equine Britain
