Beschreibung

"E-Waste Global Toll" presents an alarming examination of our world's electronic waste crisis, revealing that we discard the equivalent of 800 laptops every second, totaling over 50 million metric tons annually. This comprehensive analysis explores the journey of electronic devices from creation to disposal, illuminating the devastating environmental and health impacts of improper e-waste management across the globe.Through detailed case studies of major processing regions like Ghana's Agbogbloshie and China's Guiyu, the book offers readers a ground-level view of how digital consumption patterns affect communities and ecosystems worldwide. The narrative weaves together extensive research from leading organizations, including the United Nations Environment Programme and World Health Organization, to document the movement of hazardous materials across borders and their effects on public health.The book uniquely combines technical analysis of chemical contamination with real-world implications, featuring original interviews with recycling facility operators and environmental scientists. This approach makes complex scientific concepts accessible while maintaining academic rigor, making it valuable for both specialists and general readers interested in environmental sustainability.Moving from problem identification to solution-finding, the text progresses through chapters examining the chemical composition of electronics, current recycling practices, and emerging approaches in sustainable design. The book concludes by offering practical guidelines for responsible electronics disposal and policy frameworks for improved waste management, emphasizing the crucial role of circular economy principles in addressing this global challenge.Throughout, readers gain a clear understanding of how e-waste management intersects with international trade, environmental justice, and public health, making this an essential resource for anyone concerned about the environmental impact of our digital age.

    "Essential reading for lovers of the Great outdoors" —Roger Cox, Scotsman magazine 
     
     
     
    Longlisted for the 2022 Highland Book Prize 
     
     
     
    In 2019, Jenna Watt took part in the stalking of a hind on the vast Highland estate of Corrour: part of an immersive attempt to understand the ideas that lie behind 'rewilding', and what it means emotionally and physically to participate in Scotland's deer cull. Piece by piece and chapter by chapter she unravels the story of that one day spent hunting the hind, interlaced with her discovery that her ancestors were deer stalkers, game keepers, and ghillies on a Highland estate, who once took part in increasingly controversial land practices like muirburn and species persecution. 
     
     
     
    This exploration leads her into the complex and often conflict-ridden world of the rewilding movement. 
     
     
     
    In the process, Jenna comes to better understand the meaning of 'wildness', the shifting baselines of 'rewilding', and, in a world beset by climate change and species extinction, how to cope, both as an individual and as a society, with the concept of ecological grief.
