Addressing Global Environmental Security Through Innovative

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Allen-Gil, Susan / Stelljes, Lia / Borysova, Olena, PUBLISHER: Springer, As the importance of environmental security increases worldwide, colleges ong>andong> universities are evaluating how well they are preparing the next generation of environmental scientists ong>andong> managers ong>andong> developing new educational approaches. In this ong>volong>ume, we examine: (1) current educational practices ong>andong> the need for change, (2) educational needs from the ong>perspectiveong> of employers ong>andong> professionals, ong>andong> (3) new practices in higher education in environmental fields. The contributors were carefully selected by an international coordinating team based on their international reputations in the field of progressive educational approaches ong>andong> understong>andong>ing of the ong>globalong> employment market in environmental science. Although the focal geographic areas are North America, Europe ong>andong> the former Soviet republics, the ideas ong>andong> strategies discussed are universal to all institutions of higher education. We highlight specific non-traditional approaches such as using the university as a curricular tool, developing permaculture programs, ong>andong> applying sustainability pedagogy, ong>andong> document their success from both a student ong>andong> employer ong>perspectiveong>. We also include case studies on risk assessment ong>andong> eco-efficiency education to illustrate why ong>andong> how transdisciplinary education can be accomplished. We conclude that it is imperative that our educational systems teach environmental security at the university level within a transdisciplinary context; ong>andong> that opportunities, such as internships ong>andong> other methods of applied learning, are included in the curriculum.

Ligeti, Kurt G, and Hungarian Music During the Cold War

Although Ligeti became part of the Western avant-garde after he left Hungary in , archival sources illuminate his ongoing contact with Hungarian musicians, ong>andong> their shifting ong>perspectiveong> on his work. Kurt g's music was more obviously inong>volong>ved with Hungarian ong>traditionsong>, was entangled with the Soviet occupation, ong>andong> was a contributing part of the city's diverse musical culture. However, from the mid-s onwards, critics identified his music as an artistic ong>andong> moral 'truth' distinct from the broader musical life of Budapest: it was an idealized symbol of life beyond the everyday in Hungary. Grounding her interpretations of works in these complex political circumstances, Beckles Willson is nonetheless sympathetic to arguments by Ligeti, Kurt g ong>andong> Budapest music critics that their music might have a life beyond nationalist ong>andong> Cold War ideology.

An Appeal to Reason: A Cool Look at Global Warming

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lawson, Nigel, PUBLISHER: Gerald Duckworth & Co Ltd, "Clear, analytical ong>andong> compelling." -"The Economist" In this well-informed ong>andong> hard-hitting response to the scaremongering of the climate alarmists, Nigel Lawson, former Secretary of State for Energy under Margaret Thatcher, argues that it is time for us to take a cool look at ong>globalong> warming. Lawson carefully ong>andong> succinctly examines all aspects of the ong>globalong> warming issue: the science, the economics, the politics, ong>andong> the ethics. He concludes that the conventional wisdom on the subject is suspect on a number of grounds, that ong>globalong> warming is not the devastating threat to the planet it is widely alleged to be, ong>andong> that the remedy that is currently being proposed, which is in any event politically unattainable, would be worse that the threat it is supposed to avert. Argued with logic, common sense, ong>andong> even wit, ong>andong> thoroughly sourced ong>andong> referenced, Lawson has written a long overdue corrective to the barrage of spin ong>andong> hype to which the politicians ong>andong> media have been subjecting the public on this important issue.
