Sinopse

Environmental Justice Gains delves into the critical issue of unequal environmental protection, specifically how marginalized communities disproportionately face environmental hazards while exploring the effectiveness of current regulatory actions. It highlights how environmental justice encompasses public health, economic opportunity, and social equity, demonstrating that clean air and safe water are not universally accessible.

 
Readers gain insights into how discriminatory zoning practices and industrial siting decisions have historically exacerbated these inequalities, creating legacies of environmental racism. The book examines environmental policy and law, particularly the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, while assessing the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) role in enforcement. It emphasizes the necessity of community engagement and data-driven decision-making to address persistent disparities, advocating for a comprehensive and integrated approach.

 
Case studies of successful environmental justice initiatives and analyses of ongoing challenges are used to illustrate the practical applications of its findings. Beginning with an overview of environmental justice principles, the book progresses to examine environmental injustice cases across the United States, analyzing the regulatory frameworks applied and outcomes achieved.

 
It concludes with recommendations for improving environmental justice outcomes through policy reform, community empowerment, and innovative technological solutions, making it valuable for policymakers, advocates, and community members alike.

    In the 1880s, Freud discovered cocaine and became enthusiastic about what was not yet considered a party drug. Favoring the use of cocaine in the treatment of neurasthenia, as an energizer, or as an anesthetic, Freud made a creative and fashionable use of it, heralding practices that our society knows well. Several surprising texts are gathered here on cocaine. Freud recounts the use of coca in history, particularly in South America, from where it was imported. In Cocaine Addiction and Cocaine Phobia, the inventor of psychoanalysis defended coca against its accusers as a dangerous product. Finally, in the letters to Martha Bernays, his future wife, we discover an intimate and loving Freud, telling how he escaped boring dinners thanks to his dear magic substance.

    Cars are killing people and making the planet uninhabitable. Crashes take the lives of more than a million people each year. Air pollution linked to motor vehicles contributes to even more untimely deaths. Highways and unsafe streets have devastated cities, yet traffic congestion still swallows up countless hours. And carbon emissions from transportation are a key driver of climate change, which threatens to make the world unlivable. Why do we still worship at the altar of the car? How can we find alternatives that are healthier for the planet and ourselves? 
      
    This book exposes how "Big Car"—the complex of companies in the automobile, oil, insurance, media, and concrete industries that promote and entrench car dependence—has pursued profit at the expense of the common good. David Obst explores how Big Car gained almost immeasurable influence over our lives, weighing the benefits and the costs of reliance on private automobiles. He details how industry covered up the harms of lead additives, fought against seatbelts, and continues to fund climate-change denialism. Obst considers the future of mobility, surveying how cities are experimenting with forms of transportation that offer alternatives to the dominance of cars. Provocative and comprehensive, Saving Ourselves from Big Car is a wake-up call for us to change how we use cars before it's too late.
