  The End of Heaven - Disaster and...

  In this unique book, Sidney Dekker tackles a largely unexplored dilemma. Our scientific age has equipped us ever better to explain why things go wrong. But this increasing sophistication actually makes it harder to explain why we suffer. Accidents and disasters have become technical problems without inherent purpose. When told of a disaster, we easily feel lost in the steely emptiness of technical languages of engineering or medicine. Or, in our drive to pinpoint the source of suffering, we succumb to the hunt for a scapegoat, possibly inflicting even greater suffering on others around us. How can we satisfactorily deal with suffering when the disaster that caused it is no more than the dispassionate sum of utterly mundane, imperfect human decisions and technical failures? Broad in its historical sweep and ambition, The End of Heaven is also Dekker's most personal book to date.

  Rights of Nature laws are becoming a vital tool for addressing environmental injustice. From New Zealand and India to Ecuador and Bolivia, advocates have successfully secured legal rights for rivers, forests, and mountains. Granting rights to nature has the potential to expand environmental protections, strengthen indigenous rights, promote sustainable development, and alter how humans relate to nature. Despite these promises, rights of Nature laws have met with greater resistance in some countries than in others. 
   
   
   
  Standing for Nature offers advocates a blueprint for creating, implementing, and safeguarding rights of Nature laws. This book looks closely at four examples—New Zealand, Colombia, Bangladesh, and the United States—to explain why these laws have been successful in some places but not others. Through this comparative exploration, the authors highlight key strategies for advancing rights of Nature laws in the United States and around the world. These lessons include an examination of different legal traditions to better understand which is the best form of law—judicial, legislative, or regulatory—for advocates to target; how to ensure effective implementation once a law is passed; and how to shift communal perspectives on the human-Nature relationship for better implementation and enforcement.

  A unique analysis of the numbers that came to define Chinese politics and how this quantification evolved over time. 
   
   
   
  For decades, a few numbers came to define Chinese politics—until those numbers did not count what mattered and what they counted did not measure up. Seeking Truth and Hiding Facts argues that the Chinese government adopted a system of limited, quantified vision in order to survive the disasters unleashed by Mao Zedong's ideological leadership. Jeremy Wallace explains how that system worked and analyzes how the problems that accumulated in its blind spots led Xi Jinping to take drastic action. Xi's neopolitical turn—aggressive anti-corruption campaigns, reassertion of party authority, and personalization of power—is an attempt fix the problems of the prior system, as well as a hedge against an inability to do so. The book argues that while of course dictators stay in power through coercion and cooptation, they also do so by convincing their populations and themselves of their right to rule. Quantification is one tool in this persuasive arsenal, but it comes with its own perils.

  Australia's War - The Impact of...

  The early 20th century was a time of great change and tension around the world. As nations sought to expand their influence, new alliances were formed, and existing powers prepared for conflict. Australia, still a young nation and part of the British Empire, found itself drawn into global events far from its shores. The road to war for Australia was shaped by its loyalty to Britain and its growing sense of national identity. 
  At the start of the 1900s, Australia was still under the authority of the British Empire, a relationship that influenced much of its foreign policy. Britain, having secured its position as a world power, was engaged in a series of alliances and military preparations. The rise of Germany as a strong military power created a climate of fear and competition across Europe. Tensions escalated as nations began to stockpile arms, form alliances, and take aggressive stances toward one another. 
  For Australia, the decision to support Britain in times of war was almost unquestioned. The strong ties to the mother country shaped much of the public opinion and government decisions. Australia’s leaders viewed their role as part of Britain’s global defense network, and many believed that supporting Britain in a time of war would strengthen Australia’s position as a member of the Empire. The idea of imperial loyalty was central to national identity, and Australia’s involvement in any potential conflict was seen as a duty to uphold British prestige and security.
