Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book explores how vulnerable and resilient communities from SIDS are affected by climate change; proposes and, where possible, evaluates adaptation activities; identifies factors capable of enhancing or inhibiting SIDS people's long-term ability to deal with climate change; and critiques the discourses, vocabularies, and constructions around SIDS dealing with climate change. The contributions, written by well-established scholars, as well as emerging authors and practitioners, in the field, include conceptual papers, coherent methodological approaches, and case studies from the communities based in the Caribbean Sea and the Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans.In their introduction, the editors contextualise the book within the current literature. They emphasise the importance of stronger links between climate change science and policy in SIDS, both to increase effectiveness of policy and also boost scholarly enquiry in the context of whose communities are often excluded by mainstream research. This book is timely and appropriate, given the recent commission by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of a Special Report that aims at addressing vulnerabilities, 'especially in islands and coastal areas, as well as the adaptation and policy development opportunities' following the Paris Agreement. Coupled with this, there is also the need to support the policy community with further scientific evidence on climate change-related issues in SIDS, accompanying the first years of implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. A rare example of this Bronx-based "Review of Political, Economic, Literary, Social and Cultural Affairs of the Caribbean", edited by Selwyn Cudjoe, a noted Trinidadian academic, scholar, historian, essayist and editor who is Professor of Africana Studies at Wellesley College. Hoping to "act as a vehicle for the propogation and dissemination of views on the Caribbean in the area of politics, culture, economics, literature and social thought, shaping sensibilities, giving direction and allowing for the largest possibility of divergence of views", the magazine appears to have put forth one volume in three issues. Notably includes a paper by scholar Leonard Harris on the crisis of inequality in a decolonizing Dominica. 7.5" x 10.25" softcover book, saddle-stapled in card wraps. 32pp. From the collection of a tobacco smoker, with attendant tanning to covers and very little if any aroma of smoke to book interior. Book in protective mylar dustjacket. Shelfwear mild and unremarkable saving a small bump / lower corner crease to all pages and covers. Pages quite bright. Soundly bound. Sharp copy.…
