Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Este es el primer libro que revela cómo, en la actualidad, ya hay profesionales de distintos sectores que están empezando a colaborar incorporando en su trabajo y en sus vidas la aceptación de un colapso social probable o inminente. Esta corriente social y cultural, llamada Adaptación Profunda, se ocupa de los cambios personales y colectivos que podrían ayudar a nuestras sociedades a prepararnos para una ruptura o un colapso como consecuencia del clima. Los autores de esta obra parten de la premisa de que nuestros actuales sistemas económicos, sociales y políticos no podrán ser resilientes al cambio climático y, como respuesta a esta asunción, describen una serie de alternativas solidarias y creativas mediante las cuales la gente está proponiendo respuestas al desafío más difícil que la humanidad haya tenido que afrontar jamás. La corriente Adaptación Profunda ofrece un marco de apoyo transversal y multidisciplinar para responder a la aterradora realidad de la creciente perturbación climática. El compromiso de este movimiento está dirigido a reducir el sufrimiento colectivo al tiempo que salvamos lo máximo posible de la sociedad y del mundo natural. Editado por el creador del concepto de Adaptación Profunda, Jem Bendell, y un destacado activista, pensador y estratega climático, Rupert Read, este libro es la introducción esencial al concepto, la práctica y el movimiento mundial emergente de Adaptación Profunda al actual caos climático. Este es el momento adecuado para un libro, como este, que discuta las diversas implicaciones de anticipar el colapso social. Adaptación profunda es una agenda y un marco para responder al potencial, probable o inevitable colapso de las sociedades industriales de consumo debido a los impactos ?directos o indirectos? del cambio climático y de la degradación ambiental causados por los humanos. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Paperback. Condition: New. This innovative new book combines environmental justice scholarship with a material ecocriticism to explore the way in which early Victorian literature (1837-1860) responded to the growing problem of environmental injustice. As this book emphasises, environmental injustice - simply, the convergence of poverty and pollution - was not an isolated phenomenon, but a structural form of inequality; a product of industrial modernity's radical reformation of British society, it particularly affected the working classes. As each chapter reveals in detail, this form of environmental inequality (or 'classism') drew sharply critical reactions from figures as diverse as Thomas Carlyle, Friedrich Engels, Charles Dickens, and John Ruskin, and from within the Chartist movement, as working-class writers themselves reacted to the hazardous realities of a divided society. But as this book also reveals, these writers recognised that a truly just society respects the needs of the nonhuman and takes account of the material world in all its own aliveness; even if only tentatively, they reached for a more inclusive, emergent form of justice that might address the social and ecological impacts of industrial modernity, an idea which is no less relevant today.This book represents an indispensable resource for scholars and students working in the fields of Victorian literature, environmental justice, and ecocriticism.…
