Classed Emotions: Navigating Social Class and Emotions in the Urban Indian and Diasporic Contexts (Urban Futures)
by Anna Romanowicz Ahana ChoudhuryThis book explores how urban spaces encompass, shape and reconfigure the emotional landscapes and socio-cultural specters of their inhabitants. It highlights the arenas in which various politics and strategies of emotional relations are represented, created, enacted and regulated through the inhabitants’ lives and lifestyles. Exploring this, the chapters in the volume bring together and analyze the myriad forms of intersections within and between urban centers in India and the Indian diaspora, as well as ‘classed’ emotions. The authors embark on scholarly inquiries to highlight the complex and fluid dynamics through which urban spaces and the class of their inhabitants question, attribute, influence and perpetuate the diverse emotional states and responses, and vice versa – they examine the ways in which emotive subjectivities, relations, experiences and practices question and influence multiple urban formations, power dynamics and spaces. They reveal how emotional and urban landscapes are not only represented but are also affected by the social class of the denizens. Part of the Urban Futures series, the volume will be indispensable to scholars and researchers of urban studies, anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, urban planning, urban policy, public policy and architecture. It will also be of interest to the professional architects, urban designers, social geographers and policymakers.

Classical Rhetorical Argumentation for the Rhetorical Critic (Routledge Studies in Rhetoric and Communication)
by Mika HietanenThis book offers a reassessment of argumentation in classical rhetoric, foregrounding its rational dimension. Moving beyond introductions, it provides insights from Aristotle, Quintilian, and other ancient thinkers while addressing common misconceptions and offering clarifications that are particularly valuable for the rhetorical critic.Adopting a Scandinavian rhetorical perspective, this book argues that classical rhetoric offers enduring tools for both the analysis and the construction of persuasive argumentation. By bridging theory and practice, it demonstrates how classical rhetoric remains highly relevant, while also naturally integrating with analyses that focus on classical concepts such as ethos, pathos, or style – whether through neo‑Aristotelian methods or contemporary approaches rooted in the classical rhetorical tradition. Key concepts are explored in dedicated chapters: the ‘art’ of logos‑based argumentation is reassessed; enthymeme and epicheireme structures are examined; and topoi and staseis are discussed in relation to their later developments. A chapter on the centenary of rhetorical criticism traces its evolution from Herbert Wichelns (1925) to today, proposing a new template for the rhetorical critic.This concise yet comprehensive book will interest intermediate and advanced students, as well as scholars of rhetoric, argumentation, persuasion, speech and writing studies, and communication studies.

Climate Action and Civil Society in Turkey and Germany: Contested Common Ground (Routledge Advances in Climate Change Research)
by Hande PakerThis book explores the social and political dynamics that shape the impacts of climate change, drawing upon Turkey and Germany to offer a comprehensive comparative analysis.Civil society representatives, the climate movement, the youth, and arts and culture actors from around the world unequivocally call for a deep transformation of political, economic, and social structures in order to avoid the devastating effects of climate change. The transformation that is prescribed is perceived as insufficient, technocratic, and market-based and does not involve challenging power relations at the heart of climate action. This book addresses these concerns, using a comparative analysis to explore the issues and efficiency of a meaningful sustainable transition. The in-depth comparison of two conventionally dissimilar cases, Turkey and Germany, demonstrates that civil society actors in different political settings can use similar strategies and frames for climate action against state actors. In turn, states use similar depoliticization strategies (albeit via different mechanisms) and economic growth narratives to reproduce hegemony. The book untangles the different processes that create the contentious, politicized common ground in which these stakeholders interact with each other. The findings of this research have significant implications for many developing and developed countries alike where climate policymaking is painstakingly inadequate.This book will be of interest to students, researchers, and academics interested in political ecology, climate politics, and politics of development.
Climate Adaptation for Architects: A Design Toolkit
by Allison AndersonArchitecture must adapt to protect people from the threat of climate change. About half of the world’s population lives in contexts that are highly vulnerable to climate change as hazards continue to intensify, with global disasters projected to reach 560 events per year by 2030, or 1.5 events every day. The accelerating frequency and intensity of disasters underscores the urgency to prepare for severe events to protect people, communities, and essential systems but also to protect the environment which provides shelter, livelihoods, cultural heritage, and public functions. This book provides a comprehensive reference of climate adaptation design tactics and a toolkit for adaptation to shocks and stresses, outlining the process for architects and designers to: Understand the risks posed by climate change to the built environment. Reduce the risks to people and the built environment from natural hazards. Reduce human vulnerability to shocks and stresses by strengthening resilience and adaptive capacity. Design the built environment to adapt to changes over its lifetime. Design buildings and cities to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Preserve biodiversity and support natural resources. Climate Adaptation for Architects presents 45 adaptation tactics responding to the most consequential effects of climate change: heat, water, wind, and resource scarcity. Each chapter includes images, a definition, background information, key design considerations, potential impacts, and resources for further information. This is a valuable resource for every architect, landscape architect, urban planner, developer, and policymaker.
Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation to Improve Food Security in South Asia
by Mannava Sivakumar Rafiq Islam Heulin Thierry Ahm Mustafizur RahmanBoth food security and agriculture contribute to, and are affected by, global climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports that food production systems account for up to 37% of global greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, these systems are increasingly vulnerable to climate change, with extreme weather events such as rising temperatures, flooding, drought, secondary salinity, and land degradation threatening food security in South Asia. Additionally, the spread of weeds, pests, and diseases due to shifting climates exacerbates these challenges. The strain on agriculture and food security from accelerated climate change is further worsening by rapid population growth. Globally, more than 820 million people suffer from hunger, and by 2050, food production will need to double to meet global demands. This intensification of farming, combined with climate change, will lead to greater reliance on reactive chemicals, water, and energy inputs—potentially damaging agroecosystem services and becoming increasingly difficult to manage. South Asia, with its high population growth, is particularly vulnerable to climate impacts such as flooding, salinity, droughts, and solar dimming. Rising sea levels and coastal erosion could result in the loss of 17% of land surface and 30% of food production by 2050.Agriculture and food systems must undergo innovative transformations to address these challenges. A comprehensive Climate Change Adaption Framework is essential for fostering a supportive policy environment, sharing information on climate impacts, and adapting climate-smart agriculture to enhance food security in South Asia. This book, based on the outcomes of the 2022 International Conference on Climate Change and Food security in South Asia, held in Dhaka, Bangladesh, explores key challenges and innovative solutions for mitigating and adapting to the impact of climate change on food security.

A concluding comparative chapter highlights the specific shortcomings and potential of each system in dealing with climate change problems, taking stock of fragmentation and unity in international law. The book presents instances in which international courts are applying procedural and substantive law to this disruptive, transnational, and intergenerational legal problem. It addresses gaps in the legal framework and identifies systems which are not fit for purpose.With international contributions from authors of diverse backgrounds, this book will be of interest to researchers in the field of climate change and environmental law, EU and international law, and international court litigation.
Climate Change is an Opportunity: Why We Need Principled Capitalism
by David BlockleyWe have an imperative, as never before, to change our ways. Climate change is presenting the entire human race with its greatest ever existential challenge. Like many I feel a growing sense of looming disaster. Yes, we are making some progress, but past agreements are not delivering. In this book I put a case for a new form of principled capitalism based on moral principles rather than utility and profit. I propose ten pillars that include systems thinking as citizens of the world and embracing Modern Monetary theory to guide decisions about macroeconomics and national debt.
Climate Change, Population Health and Island States: Socio-Cultural Dimensions
by Arnab Chakraborty Janaka Jayawickrama Yong-An ZhangThis unique collection examines climate change, disasters, and human health in both ‘developed’ and ‘developing’ island nations, highlighting the sociocultural issues in three countries: the UK, Sri Lanka, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.Examining how domestic and international policies often disregard the contributions which can be made by poor and marginalised communities, the book demonstrates how traditional ecological knowledge systems, which once enabled effective adaptation to environmental variability, have been systematically marginalised through processes of modernisation and globalisation. Furthermore, the book argues that the colonial model of prevention and responses should be reconsidered, advocating instead for a more inclusive, collaborative approach to climate-health governance – one that meaningfully incorporates local perspectives while addressing structural vulnerabilities to develop equitable, context-specific solutions for island states facing the escalating challenges of climate change and disaster-related health risks.This critical analysis will be of interest to students, scholars, and policymakers in public health, climate change and sustainability, disaster risk reduction, history, anthropology, sociology, and human geography.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.
