In metropolitan areas across the country, you can hear the laments over the loss of green space to new subdivisions and strip malls. But some city residents have taken unprecedented measures to protect their open land, and a growing movement seeks not only to preserve these lands but to link them in green corridors. Many land-use and urban planning professionals, along with landscape architects and environmental advocates, have joined in efforts to preserve natural areas. MetroGreen answers their call for a deeper exploration of the latest thinking and newest practices in this growing conservation field. In ten case studies of U.S. and Canadian cities paired for comparative analysis-Toronto and Chicago, Calgary and Denver, and Vancouver and Portland among them-Erickson looks closely at the motivations and objectives for connecting open spaces across metropolitan areas. She documents how open-space networks have been successfully created and protected, while also highlighting the critical human and ecological benefits of connectivity. MetroGreen's unique focus on several cities rather than a single urban area offers a perspective on the political, economic, cultural, and environmental conditions that affect open-space planning and the outcomes of its implementation.
Australia was the first country in the world to officially ban old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs as a solution to climate change. But was it a good idea? In fact, does anything we do really make any difference? Written by award-winning Age journalist Liz Minchin and leading climate and energy expert Dr. Donna Green, Screw Light Bulbs delivers an intriguing comparative study that challenges the steps being taken to combat climate change. Rather than lecturing, it uses examples to show how governments could deliver better-run services that would save time and money while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The book is a genuinely independent, straight-talking guidebook on what we need to do to get serious about the future. It is inclusive, positive, and credible, distinguishing itself from other 'climate change' books which offer either individual solutions, big picture solutions, or politics. Screw Light Bulbs does all three in a format that's accessible for a broad audience. It is an easy to read social commentary that highlights new factors in the climate change debate.

Donna daydreams of pulling up stakes and starting a new life, never imagining a chance encounter with a new man will lead to a wild, impetuous decision that catapults her on a soul-changing journey. Living in the Amazon rainforest, a host of curious jungle creatures visit her jungle shack, she narrowly dodges disaster on a raging river, and finds herself lost in a tropical swamp. Struck down by a tormenting tropical disease, and suffering from severe culture shock, she then embarks on a scientific field trip that alters the course of her life. Tested mentally, physically and spiritually, it is hard for Donna to feel lost in the wilderness when pure joy pounds in her heart and she discovers the way to live her one precious life. Despite being accosted by angry ants and battered by inclement weather, she works from a tree platform where she captures rare moments in the lives of wild animals, befriends a water-loving agouti rat, and forms a special bond with a tree, which persuades her it was her wild self who coerced her to travel over ten thousand miles so it could unleash itself.Written with laugh-out-loud humour and deep compassion, Donna poignantly captures the isolation, challenges, and true beauty of the rainforest where she literally rises above the limitations of her once modern life.

This volume examines the school-to-prison pipeline, a concept that has received growing attention over the past 10–15 years in the United States. The “pipeline” refers to a number of interrelated concepts and activities that most often include the criminalization of students and student behavior, the police-like state found in many schools throughout the country, and the introduction of youth into the criminal justice system at an early age. The school-to-prison pipeline negatively and disproportionally affects communities of color throughout the United States, particularly in urban areas. Given the demographic composition of public schools in the United States, the nature of student performance in schools over the past 50 years, the manifestation of school-to-prison pipeline approaches pervasive throughout the country and the world, and the growing incarceration rates for youth, this volume explores this issue from the sociological, criminological, and educational perspectives. Understanding, Dismantling, and Disrupting the Prison-to-School Pipeline has contributions from scholars and practitioners who work in the fields of sociology, counseling, criminal justice, and who are working to dismantle the pipeline. While the academic conversation has consistently called the pipeline ‘school-to-prison,’ including the framing of many chapters in this book, the economic and market forces driving the prison-industrial complex urge us to consider reframing the pipeline as one working from ‘prison-to-school.’ This volume points toward the tensions between efforts to articulate values of democratic education and schooling against practices that criminalize youth and engage students in reductionist and legalistic manners.
Francis Mallmann is an Argentine grill master. Author of Seven Fires and Mallmann on Fire, he is known for his primal style of live-fire meat cookery - and until recently, he treated vegetables as a condiment or side dish. Now, in the highly anticipated The Green Fire, Mallmann shares his recipes and secrets for perfect grilled vegetables and fruits, creating dishes with the same elemental, rugged style for which he is world-renowned. With the goal of creating dishes that are better for our health and for the health of our planet, Mallmann uses the same live-fire techniques he has mastered in cooking meats to transform every vegetable into a dish as satisfying as a prime-cut steak. Pineapples are hung over a fire with butcher's twine, and beets are buried in its coals. Tomatoes are burnished on the cast-iron plancha to intensify their flavours. Whether slathered, seared, baked, blackened, or fried over the flames, Mallmann's fire-cooked vegetables are full of flavour and personality. Spring artichoke and fava salad, salt-baked beets with lemon confit, and cabbage steaks with a mustard-fennel crust are just a few of the stars. And desserts and cocktails are included, too! Evocative photos showcase the food, the fire, and Mallmann's magical setting in South America. The Green Fire is the book fans of Francis Mallmann's have been waiting for: the art of grilling with vegetables.
This book examines how the Irish environmental movement, which began gaining momentum in the 1970s, has influenced and been addressed by contemporary Irish writers, artists, and musicians. It examines Irish environmental writing, music, and art within their cultural contexts, considers how postcolonial ecocriticism might usefully be applied to Ireland, and analyzes the rhetoric of Irish environmental protests. It places the Irish environmental movement within the broader contexts of Irish national and postcolonial discourses, focusing on the following protests: the M3 Motorway, the Burren campaign, the Carnsore Point anti-nuclear protest, Shell to Sea, the turf debate, and the animal rights movement.
