Robert Southey The Life of Wesley; and the Rise and Progress of Methodism

Robert Southey The Life of Wesley; and the Rise and Progress of Methodism

The Life of Wesley was one of Southey’s most influential and bestselling works. It was the first biography of John Wesley – the major figure in the largest religious movement of the eighteenth century – to be published by anyone beyond the Methodist community. In addition it was a major history of the rise of a phenomenon that Southey and many others saw as a defining sign of contemporary history – the rise of sectarianism and of religious cults. This two-volume edition will represent the full text of the 1820 edition. It will include a comprehensive critical apparatus that will make sense of the major issues posed by the text and how it contributes to studies of both Southey and Romanticism. The edition will feature a critical and contextual introduction which will set out the origins and composition of the text together with its publication history as well as offer a carefully considered view of the interplay between the Life and other biographies of Wesley and accounts of Methodism bringing into view the wide array of sources and influences Southey drew from. It will also examine the book’s reception history incorporating material from reviews of the period and detailing the controversy it caused in the Methodist community. | Robert Southey The Life of Wesley; and the Rise and Progress of Methodism

The Routledge Handbook of Waste Resources and the Circular Economy

The Routledge Handbook of Waste Resources and the Circular Economy

The Handbook introduces contextualises critiques and discusses a range of perspectives associated with the concept of the circular economy. These perspectives span an array of subjects including economics environmental policymaking sociology environmental science environmental and industrial engineering management international development and human geography. A fundamental underpinning of the Handbook is that it takes account of a wide range of sectors as well as geographical perspectives that incorporate both a Global North and Global South world context. This approach is crucial because it is only within such a holistic perspective that the circular economy concept can truly be examined. In addition these issues are examined both from a theoretical as well as a practical perspective using real-world case studies for illustration. Given its wide subject sectoral and geographical areas of focus the Handbook should be of value not only for those undertaking research in the field of circular economy but also stakeholders involved in policymaking as well as decision-making on the front line. | The Routledge Handbook of Waste Resources and the Circular Economy

Routledge Handbook of Seabed Mining and the Law of the Sea

Routledge Handbook of Seabed Mining and the Law of the Sea

For years exploration of seabed natural resources has been ongoing while exploitation in deep marine areas remained unrealistic due to land-based mineral availability and costs. However mounting pressures from the green transition climate change and long-lasting fears of terrestrial minerals scarcity now bring exploitation prospects closer to reality. This has caused concern to a growing chorus of States scientists industries NGOs and parts of civil society due to the potential environmental and social impacts of these activities. As a result the idea of a moratorium or ‘precautionary pause’ is gaining ground. Yet an important number of interpretation and implementation issues of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the 1994 Agreement remain to be answered as a means to move forward in accordance with international law. This multidisciplinary book designed to become the essential handbook on the matter provides a global overview of the national regional and international regulatory frameworks applicable to the exploration and exploitation of seabed minerals on the continental shelf and the Area as well as the related state of the science on the matter. By presenting historical and geopolitical context crucial to understanding regulation evolution the book equips readers with foundational legal and policy knowledge. It furthermore addresses contemporary and prospective issues and offers unique insights into regional and national practices including non-Party States to UNCLOS.
