E. M. Forster’s Material Humanism Queer Matters

E. M. Forster’s Material Humanism Queer Matters

Through attending to the nonhuman E. M. Forster’s Material Humanism: Queer Matters places Forster’s fiction in conversation with contemporary debates concerned with the intersection of neomaterialism environmental humanities and queer ecology. The book revisits Forster’s liberal humanism from a materialist perspective by focusing on humans’ embodied activities in artificial and natural environments. By examining the everyday embodied experiences of characters the book thus brings to the fore insignificant and sometimes overlooked aspects in Forster’s fiction. It also places importance on the texts’ treatment of queer intimacy as an embodied experience that can transcend sexual desire. The book acknowledges nonhuman agency as central to our understanding of queerness in Forster’s texts and studies the representation of formless matters such as dust as a way through which Forster’s ecological concerns arise by linking the fate of oppressed humans with oppressed nonhuman others. | E.

Feeling Matters

Feeling Matters

As long as feelings are second-class citizens people will be second class citizens. Experience is an endangered species. An important function of psychotherapy is to make time for experiencing. Psychic taste buds really exist and rarely rest. They feed us each other gauge states of being states of spirit. We taste each other's feelings and intentions. An important aim of this book is to build psychic taste buds not put them down or pretend they don't exist. A positive feeling runs through this book a love of life an affirmation. Yet we discover many feel they do not have an impact. A sense of helplessness and impotence in face of awesome forces seems to be increasing. Health is a broad term with many dark threads. A creeping annihilating sense varies from pockets we try not to notice to soul murder that must be addressed. Yet individuals do try in their private struggles and in the larger social sphere. | Feeling Matters

Why Biodiversity Matters

Why Biodiversity Matters

All life on Earth has the right to exist but as we teeter on the verge of a sixth extinction this book discusses why biodiversity matters and why we should care if species go extinct. We are witnessing the largest and fastest rate of extinction in the history of the planet. While the concept of rights is a human one all plants and animals strive to survive and this book argues for their rights to continue doing so without being driven into premature extinction by human actions. Acknowledging and describing the practical reasons for conserving biodiversity this book argues that these should not overshadow the compelling ethical reasons to care about the future of species other than our own. However the issues are complex. What do we do when faced with an immediate ethical choice where biodiversity rights animal rights human rights economic development and ecosystem survival all get mixed up together? There are seldom hard and fast answers but thinking about and understanding a variety of points of view will help us make informed trade-offs. Drawing on his vast practical experience the author presents insightful perspectives and real-world examples with the hope that this book will instigate a much-needed rethink about why and how we practise conservation. This book is essential reading for all those concerned with sustaining our planet and all who inhabit it in the face of climate breakdown biodiversity loss and ecological collapse.

Moving Beyond Modern Portfolio Theory Investing That Matters

Moving Beyond Modern Portfolio Theory Investing That Matters

Moving Beyond Modern Portfolio Theory: Investing That Matters tells the story of how Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) revolutionized the investing world and the real economy but is now showing its age. MPT has no mechanism to understand its impacts on the environmental social and financial systems nor any tools for investors to mitigate the havoc that systemic risks can wreck on their portfolios. It’s time for MPT to evolve. The authors propose a new imperative to improve finance’s ability to fulfil its twin main purposes: providing adequate returns to individuals and directing capital to where it is needed in the economy. They show how some of the largest investors in the world focus not on picking stocks but on mitigating systemic risks such as climate change and a lack of gender diversity so as to improve the risk/return of the market as a whole despite current theory saying that should be impossible. Moving beyond MPT recognizes the complex relations between investing and the systems on which capital markets rely Investing that matters embraces MPT’s focus on diversification and risk adjusted return but understands them in the context of the real economy and the total return needs of investors. Whether an investor an MBA student a Finance Professor or a sustainability professional Moving Beyond Modern Portfolio Theory: Investing That Matters is thought-provoking and relevant. Its bold critique shows how the real world already is moving beyond investing orthodoxy. | Moving Beyond Modern Portfolio Theory Investing That Matters

Archaeology and its Discontents Why Archaeology Matters

Archaeology and its Discontents Why Archaeology Matters

Archaeology and its Discontents examines the state of archaeology today and its development throughout the twentieth century making a powerful case for new approaches. Surveying the themes of twentieth-century archaeological theory Barrett looks at their successes limitations and failures. Seeing more failures and limitations than successes he argues that archaeology has over-focused on explaining the human construction of material variability and should instead be more concerned with understanding how human diversity has been constructed. Archaeology matters he argues precisely because of the insights it can offer into the development of human diversity. The analysis and argument are illustrated throughout by reference to the development of the European Neolithic. Arguing both for new approaches and for the importance of archaeology as a discipline Archaeology and its Discontents is for archaeologists at all levels from student to professor and trainee to experienced practitioner. | Archaeology and its Discontents Why Archaeology Matters

Material Matters Developing Business for a Circular Economy

Material Matters Developing Business for a Circular Economy

Our planet is a closed system with limited material resources yet our current economic model is designed in a one-way direction from resource extraction to disposal leading to resource depletion. This book proposes a new economic model offering an alternative to this linear ‘take-make-waste’ economy. Material Matters shows a way of creating a circular economy by using the unlimited resources we have: renewable energy data and intelligence. It describes a system based on circular business models centred on selling performance rather than ownership designing products and buildings as resource banks and equipping products with a ‘material passport’ to ensure their usability for future generations. Businesses thereby become custodians of materials rather than consumers of materials and sellers of products. The book evokes the vision of a radically new economic model based on a compelling narrative supported with cases that have been developed in conjunction with major companies for example convincing Philips to sell light instead of lamps saving energy and materials by creating a whole new business model a case which has become iconic for the circular economy. Material Matters is not a somber analysis of the state of the planet but a concrete and comprehensive agenda for change offering perspectives for taking action for business and individual consumers alike. | Material Matters Developing Business for a Circular Economy

Color that Matters A Comparative Approach to Mixed Race Identity and Nordic Exceptionalism

Color that Matters A Comparative Approach to Mixed Race Identity and Nordic Exceptionalism

This book examines the ways in which mixed ethnic identities in Scandinavia are formed along both cultural and embodied lines arguing that while the official discourses in the region refer to a post-racial or color blind era color still matters in the lives of people of mixed ethnic descent. Drawing on research from people of mixed ethnic backgrounds the author offers insights into how color matters and is made to matter and into the ways in which terms such as ethnic and ethnicity remain very much indebted to their older racialized grammar. Color that Matters moves beyond the conventional Anglo-American focus of scholarship in this field showing that while similarities exist between the racial and ethnic discourses of the US and UK and those found in the Nordic region Scandinavia and Norway in particular manifests important differences in part owing to a tendency to view itself as exceptional or outside the colonial heritage of race and imperialism. Presenting both a contextualization of racial discourses since World War II based on documentary analysis and new interview material with people of mixed ethnic backgrounds the book acts as a corrective to the blind spot within Scandinavian research on ethnic minorities offering a new reading of race for the Nordic region that engages with the idea that color has been emptied of legitimate cultural content. | Color that Matters A Comparative Approach to Mixed Race Identity and Nordic Exceptionalism
