Summary

The Kyoto Protocol is a groundbreaking international treaty that emerged from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), aiming to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally. In this pivotal document, the intricate legal and political frameworks are artfully crafted, emphasizing the need for countries to commit to measurable emissions targets. Its literary style blends legal rigor with accessible language, allowing policymakers and the public to grasp complex environmental issues. The protocol not only marks a crucial step in the global climate action trajectory but also reflects the urgency of the late 20th century's environmental consciousness, rooted in science and collective responsibility. The United Nations, an intergovernmental organization founded in 1945, has continually advocated for cooperative global governance, particularly regarding sustainable development and climate action. The Kyoto Protocol was a direct response to mounting scientific evidence urging immediate action against climate change. Drawn from extensive international negotiations, it encapsulates decades of global discourse, underscoring a collaborative spirit that reflects the diverse interests of member nations striving towards an equitable solution. This landmark treaty is essential for anyone interested in environmental policy, international relations, or climate science. Engaging with the Kyoto Protocol equips readers with a comprehensive understanding of global efforts to tackle climate change, making it a crucial addition to the library of every climate advocate, student, and policymaker.

    A military study of the 2020 war between Armenia and Azerbaijan—the first war in history won primarily by unmanned systems. 
 
Fought over the course of forty-four days, the Second Nagorno-Karabakh war resulted in a decisive military victory for Azerbaijan. Armenia lost even though they controlled the high ground in a mountainous region that favored traditional defense. In 7 Seconds to Die, military consultant and historian John Antal examines the decisive factors of the war and their implications for the future of armed conflict. 
 
The fact that Azerbaijan won the war is not extraordinary, considering the correlation of forces arrayed against Armenia. What is exceptional is that this was the first modern war primarily decided by unmanned weapons. The Turkish-made BAYRAKTAR TB2 Unmanned Air Combat Vehicle (UCAV) and the Israeli-made HAROP Loitering Munition (LM) dominated the fighting and provided Azerbaijan with a war-winning advantage.

  • Dividing Lines - How Transportation Infrastructure Reinforces Racial Inequality - cover

    Dividing Lines - How...

    Our nation's transportation system is crumbling. But as acclaimed scholar and ACLU president Deborah Archer warns in Dividing Lines, before we can think about rebuilding and repairing, we must consider the role race has played in transportation infrastructure, from the early twentieth century and into the present day. 
 
 
 
As Archer demonstrates, the success of the Civil Rights movement and the fall of Jim Crow in the 1960s did not mean the end of segregation. With state-sanctioned racism no longer legal, officials across the country turned to transportation infrastructure to keep Americans divided. A wealthy white neighborhood could no longer be "protected" by racial covenants and segregated shops, but a multilane road, with no pedestrian crossings, could be built along its border to make it difficult for people from a lower-income community to visit. Highways could not be routed through Black neighborhoods based on the race of their residents, but those neighborhoods' lower property values—a legacy of racial exclusion—could justify their destruction. 
 
 
 
Drawing on a wealth of sources, including interviews with people who now live in the shadow of highways and other major infrastructure projects, Archer presents a sweeping, national account—from Atlanta and Houston to Indianapolis and New York City—of our persistent divisions.
