Sinopsis

Plastic Ban Challenges explores the complexities surrounding single-use plastic bans as a solution to plastic pollution, moving beyond simple solutions to offer a nuanced perspective. It examines how these bans, while well-intentioned, often face industry resistance and may not always lead to the intended environmental outcomes. For example, the book highlights how banned plastics might be replaced with equally or more harmful alternatives, or that weak enforcement undermines the bans' effectiveness.

 
The book adopts a holistic approach, integrating legal, political, and environmental viewpoints. It begins by analyzing the legal frameworks of plastic bans across different regions, examining common elements such as targeted plastics and penalties for non-compliance. It then explores the political economy of industry resistance, including lobbying efforts and alternative material development. Finally, it evaluates the environmental impact using empirical data to assess whether bans truly reduce pollution or merely displace it.

 
This book is valuable for policymakers, environmental advocates, and industry leaders because it provides a rigorous, evidence-based assessment of plastic bans. By connecting environmental science, political science, and economics, Plastic Ban Challenges contributes to a more informed debate on environmental policy and the multifaceted nature of environmental regulation.

Jihad and Genocide

Richard L. Rubenstein

A study of Islamic fundamentalism, its violent and deadly history, and the questions it raises today. This book examines the relationship between jihad and genocide, past and present. Richard L. Rubenstein takes a close look at the violent interpretations of jihad and how they have played out in the past hundred years, from the Armenian genocide through current threats to Israel. Rubenstein’s unflinching study of the potential for fundamentalist jihad to initiate targeted violence raises pressing questions in a time when questions of religious co-existence, particularly in the Middle East, are discussed urgently each day. Praise for Jihad and Genocide“Provocative, important reading for all interested in Arab-Israeli peace and religious coexistence worldwide. Highly recommended.” —Choice Reviews“Rubenstein’s analysis stands the test of time. Thus, attention must be paid to Rubenstein's new work, Jihad and Genocide, which offers a searing analysis of Islamic thought and bleak predictions of its impact. Even those of us who do not share his pessimism, his sense of the inevitability of the path to genocide and war, or his predilection for the political right, must confront the issues he raises.” —Foreword Reviews

Can Scientists Succeed Where...

Peter Agre, MB BChir Seema Yasmin

How can science prevail when policies fall short? 
 
 
 
Sometimes in secret, sometimes as official ambassadors for their governments, scientists trade their white coats for blazers, stepping out of the lab and directly into sensitive, often life-threatening global crises. Think of the Paris Climate Agreement or the Iran Nuclear Deal, the Manhattan Project, and the Antarctic Treaty of 1959. Scientists have played a pivotal role in many of the greatest episodes in political history. 
 
 
 
But what prompts their involvement in international affairs, and what are some of the impacts of their efforts? Can Scientists Succeed Where Politicians Fail? recounts Nobel laureate Dr. Peter Agre's career as a physician-scientist who went from studying malaria and other diseases to meeting with Fidel Castro in Cuba, discoursing with North Korean officials, and traveling into the Islamic Republic of Iran. 
 
 
 
The book explores Agre's story alongside those of volcanologists in North Korea, epidemiologists in Latin America, and other scientists who have and are working alongside politicians, from African tribal chiefs to communist leaders, to tackle natural disasters and infectious threats in new ways.
