Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the 2022 James Backhouse Lecture, Yarrow Goodley looks at the critical issue of climate justice-at how our responses to the climate emergency have the potential for great suffering, as well as great redemption.

Again, as foretold, many are sons, future competition for Henry's crown and his affection for their mother, which makes him an ambivalent father. Then there is the ambitious Thomas Becket., who Eleanor suspects is the greatest threat of all to her regal plans.…
