Summary

Whaling History explores the extensive history of whaling, focusing on the polar regions and its profound economic and ecological impacts. The book examines how the demand for whale products drove global trade and colonial expansion, leading to the overexploitation of species like the Bowhead whale. It highlights the devastating consequences for marine ecosystems and the ongoing efforts for marine conservation. One intriguing fact is how whale products were essential for industries ranging from lighting to fashion, showcasing the broad reach of this industry.

 
The book adopts a chronological and thematic approach, tracing the progression of whaling from early indigenous practices to industrial-scale operations. It details the technological advancements that intensified whaling efforts and analyzes the ecological consequences, including population declines and ecosystem disruptions. The narrative culminates with an examination of modern conservation efforts, such as the International Whaling Commission, and the challenges of balancing conservation with indigenous needs.

 
Drawing upon historical logs, scientific data, and indigenous knowledge, the book provides a multifaceted perspective. It serves as a critical case study of the interplay between economic activity, ecological vulnerability, and the urgent need for conservation strategies. By understanding past mistakes, Whaling History emphasizes informed decision-making for current environmental challenges, making it valuable for students, researchers, and anyone interested in environmental history.

    What is the role of activists and civil society in defining and defending the collective good in healthcare, especially in cases where that good seems to be heavily shaped by market dynamics? Presenting conceptual and empirical studies from a variety of healthcare contexts and theoretical perspectives, this book addresses this vital question by drawing together multidisciplinary scholarship from science and technology studies, sociology, organization studies, marketing, philosophy, and public health. 
 
 
 
Healthcare has undergone three major changes over the past decades: the advent of personalized medicine, the marketization of public care systems, and the digitalization of healthcare services. This book maps these changes and illustrates the extent to which they are interlinked to produce a seemingly unstoppable move toward individualization in healthcare. The book also traces how activists react to these tensions to argue for and defend the common good. It thus sketches a multifaceted picture of healthcare activism in the twenty-first century as civil society responds to these dynamics at the crossroads of markets and morals, economic and social justifications, individual and collective, and digital and non-digital worlds. Crucially, it also highlights potential solutions in a post Covid-19 world.
