"Senator George P. McLean's crowning achievement was securing enduring legal protections for birds after a seven-year battle in the US Congress. This is the inspiring story of how adversity plays a vital role in growth and greatness, and recounts how an obscure Connecticut farm boy became one of the nation's most effective environmental conservationists. Passage of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 stopped the senseless killing of birds and likely prevented the extinction of entire bird species. This full-scale biography invites readers into the life and personality of one of Connecticut's most influential and revered political leaders. McLean's forty-five year career is a window to a fascinating time of growth and change in American history"--
Das Umweltbundesamt veröffentlicht seit dem Jahr 2016 einen nationalen Bericht zur Situation der Nutzung natürlicher Ressourcen in Deutschland: "Die Nutzung natürlicher Ressourcen in Deutschland" (kurz: "Ressourcenbericht"). Mit diesem Vorhaben soll in Deutschland ein regelmäßiger Bericht etabliert werden, der die vielfältigen Zusammenhänge zwischen Ressourcenentnahme, Ressourcenkonsum und wirtschaftlicher Entwicklung analysiert, diskutiert und interpretiert (UBA 2016a, 2018a, 2022a). Das Forschungsvorhaben "Ressourcennutzung in Deutschland - Weiterentwicklung des deutschen Ressourcenberichts" (DeuRess II) umfasste die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen- und Begleitarbeiten zur Ausarbeitung des Ressourcenberichts 2022. Der vorliegende Bericht fokussiert auf die Forschungsarbeiten zur Weiterentwicklung der Datengrundlagen für den Ressourcenbericht 2022 Die Arbeiten zur Weiterentwicklung der Datengrundlagen erfolgten dabei in drei Schritten. (1) Zunächst wurden bestehende sowie mögliche neue bzw. ergänzende Datengrundlagen zur inländischen Rohstoffentnahme sowie zu indirekten Rohstoffflüssen - den sogenannten "Rohstoffäquivalenten" - analysiert, um die zentralen Indikatoren des Berichts zu berechnen und die Rohstoffnutzung in Deutschland zu quantifizieren. Zudem wurden für diese Indikatoren verschiedene Ansätze zur Zeitnahschätzung analysiert, um im Ressourcenbericht möglichst aktuelle Ergebnisse präsentieren zu können. (2) Basierend auf diesen Erkenntnissen wurden in einem weiteren Schritt eigene Modellrechnungen zur Abschätzung der indirekten Rohstoffflüsse durchgeführt. (3) Schließlich wurden Modellierungen durchgeführt, um den Einfluss einzelner Parameter auf Deutschlands Rohstoffnutzung ("Raw Material Consumption", RMC) zu analysieren.

'With originality and subtlety, Diarmuid Hester examines how the gay imagination deals with place and with displacement, allowing for mystery and a kind of magic' Colm Toibin 'Hester is a fizzingly brilliant writer' Robert Macfarlane 'Haunted and haunting - totally riveting' Chris Kraus At the turn of the century, in the shade of Cambridge's cloisters, a young E. M. Forster conceals his passion for other men, even as he daydreams about the sun-warmed bodies of ancient Greece. Under the dazzling lights of interwar Paris, Josephine Baker dances her way to fame and fortune and discovers sexual freedom backstage at the Folies Bergère. And on Jersey, in the darkest days of Nazi occupation, the transgressive surrealist Claude Cahun mounts an extraordinary resistance to save the island she loves, scattering hundreds of dissident artworks along its streets and shorelines. Nothing Ever Just Disappears brings to life the stories of seven remarkable figures and illuminates the connections between where they lived, who they loved, and the art they created. It shows that a queer sense of place is central to the history of the twentieth century, and powerfully evokes how much is lost when queer spaces are forgotten. From the lesbian London of the suffragettes to James Baldwin's home in Provence, to Jack Smith's New York, Kevin Killian's San Francisco and the Dungeness cottage of Derek Jarman, this is a thrilling new history and a celebration of freedom, survival and the hidden places of the imagination
"With Ecologies of Inequity, Sancha Doxilly Medwinter tells the story of how the racially and ethnically diverse, immigrant, and urban poor disaster survivors lose ground to their White, middleclass-to-affluent and Black middle-class homeowner neighbors during official disaster response. Medwinter presents analyses from 120 conversational and expert interviews with disaster responders and survivors in New York City, beginning as early as twelve days after the November 2012 landfall of Superstorm Sandy. The settings are Carnarsie, Brooklyn, and the Rockaway peninsula, which experienced six to eight feet of flooding. The color- and class-blind assumptions of disaster responders and the labyrinthine process of obtaining a FEMA grant combine to exclude and increase the psychological burden of urban poor disaster survivors. Similarly, the locational decisions and volunteer service perimeters uncritically replicate the segregation logics of urban spaces. Part of this story explains how the chronically poor repeatedly get displaced by the machinery of official disaster response. One reason is the introduction of a race- and class-blind disaster "logic of response" that caters to the needs of the newly created class of "disaster victims," while displacing the "logic of service," which typically attempts to address the needs of the chronically poor"--
