Environment
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. What is the environment, this elusive object that impacts us so profoundly--our odds to be born; the way we look, feel, and function; and how long and comfortable we may live?The environment is not only everything we see around us but also, at a lesser scale, a hailstorm of molecules large and small that constantly penetrates our bodies, simultaneously nourishing and threatening our health.The concept of oneness with our surroundings urges a reckoning of what we are doing to ‘the environment,’ and consequently, what we are doing to ourselves.By taking us through this journey of questioning, Rolf Halden’s Environment empowers readers with new knowledge and a heightened appreciation of how our daily lifestyle decisions are impacting the places we occupy, our health, and humanity’s prospect of survival. With illustrations by Griffin Finke. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

Museum Environment
The Museum Environment is in two parts; Part I: intended for conservators and museum curators and describes the principles and techniques of controlling the environment so that the potentially damaging effects of light, humidity and air pollution on museum exhibits may be minimised.Part II: the author brings together and summarises information and data, hitherto widely scattered in the literature of diverse fields, which is essential to workers in conservation research. Since the timely publication of the first two editions of this book in hardback, interest in preventive conservation has continued to grow strongly making publication of this paperback edition all the more welcome.Those whose responsibility it is to care for the valuable and beautiful objects in the world's collections have become increasingly aware that it is better to prevent their deterioration, by ensuring that they are housed and displayed in the best possible environmental conditions, than to wait until restoration and repair are necessary.The changes for the second edition have been mainly concentrated in the sections on electronic hygrometry, new fluorescent lamps, buffered cases, air conditioning systems, data logging, and control within historic buildings.A new appendix, giving a summary of museum specificiations for conservation, provides a useful, quick reference.

Is fracking good for the environment?
Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, has both positive and negative impacts on the environment. On one hand, it has helped reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing coal with natural gas as a source of energy. However, fracking can also lead to water and air pollution, habitat disruption, and potential earthquakes. The overall impact on the environment depends on the regulations and practices in place to mitigate these negative effects. Therefore, it is important to carefully consider the environmental consequences of fracking and implement strict regulations to minimize its negative impact.

Is vegetarianism good for the environment?
Yes, vegetarianism is generally considered good for the environment. Livestock farming is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution. By reducing or eliminating meat consumption, individuals can help lower their carbon footprint and reduce the demand for resources like water and land that are used in animal agriculture. Embracing a plant-based diet can help promote sustainability and protect the environment for future generations.
-
Is minimalism good for the environment?
Minimalism can be good for the environment because it promotes reducing consumption and waste. By owning fewer possessions, individuals can decrease their overall environmental impact by using fewer resources and producing less waste. Additionally, minimalism encourages a focus on quality over quantity, which can lead to the purchase of longer-lasting, sustainable products. However, it's important to note that minimalism is just one aspect of sustainable living, and other factors such as energy use and transportation choices also play a significant role in environmental impact.

Environment and Economy
Nothing is more important to our world than finding a more comfortable relationship between the economy and the environment.While issues such as species loss, nitrate pollution, water scarcity and climate change are now attracting the political attention they deserve, their origin in the way our economy is organized is less frequently recognized.This book makes that connection both theoretically – with references to a number of heterodox approaches to economics – and practically through a number of specific issues. Environment and Economy begins by introducing readers to the pioneers of this field, such as Fritz Schumacher and Paul Ehrlich, who first drew attention to the disastrous consequences for our environment of our ever-expanding economy.Part II outlines the contributions to the field of Neoclassical Economics, Environmental Economics, Ecological Economics, Green Economics and Anti-Capitalist Economics.Part III takes a pluralist approach to using economic tools to solve a range of environmental problems: economic growth, resource depletion, pollution, globalization, climate change and markets vs. commons. Written in an accessible style, this introductory text offers students an engaging account of the ways that the various traditions of economic thought have approached the environment, bringing them together for the first time in one volume.The text is complemented by boxes, case studies and recommended reading for each theme addressed.It will be of value to students interested in environmental sciences, geography, green issues and economics.

Environment across Cultures
Disparate perceptions and conceptual frameworks of environment and the relationship between humans and nature often lead to confusion, constraints on co-operation and collaboration and even conflict when society tries to deal with today’s urgent and complex environment research and policy challenges.Such disparities in perception and "world view" are driven by many factors.They include differences in culture, religion, ethical frameworks, scientific methodologies and approaches, disciplines, political, social and philosophical traditions, life styles and consumption patterns as well as alternative economic paradigms.Distribution of poverty or wealth between north and south may thus be seen as consequence of the above mentioned disparities, which is a challenge for it’s universal reasoned evaluation.This volume discusses a wide range of factors influencing "Environment across Cultures" with a view to identifying ways and means to better understand, reflect and manage such disparities within future global environmental research and policy agendas for bridging the gap between ecology and economy as well as between societies.The book is based upon the results of a scientific symposium on this topic and covers the following sections: Cross Cultural Perception of Environment; Ethics and Nature; Environment, Sustainability and Society.Corresponding contributions were made by well-known scientific authors representing different cultural spheres in accordance with the inter-cultural approach of this effort.

Is plastic waste good for the environment?
No, plastic waste is not good for the environment. It takes hundreds of years for plastic to decompose, and during that time it can release harmful chemicals into the soil and water. Plastic waste also poses a threat to wildlife, as animals can become entangled in it or mistake it for food. Additionally, the production of plastic contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and the depletion of natural resources. Therefore, efforts to reduce, reuse, and recycle plastic waste are essential for protecting the environment.
