Human Nature
A captivating exploration of climate change that uses nine different emotions to better understand the science, history, and future of our evolving planetScientist Kate Marvel has seen the world end before, sometimes several times a day. In the computer models she uses to study climate change, it's easy to simulate rising temperatures, catastrophic outcomes, and bleak futures. But climate change isn't just happening in those models. It's happening here, to the only good planet in the universe. It's happening to us. And she has feelings about that. Human Nature is a deeply felt inquiry into our rapidly changing Earth. In each chapter, Marvel uses a different emotion to explore the science and stories behind climate change. As expected, there is anger, fear, and grief--but also wonder, hope, and love. With her singular voice, Marvel takes us on a soaring journey, one filled with mythology, physics, witchcraft, bad movies, volcanoes, Roman emperors, sequoia groves, and the many small miracles of nature we usually take for granted.Hopeful, heartbreaking, and surprisingly funny, Human Nature is a vital, wondrous exploration of how it feels to live in a changing world.
Redrawing Humanity's Map
Climate shocks are shaping human geographies, threatening coastlines, flooding settlements and heating up cities. Therefore, climate impacts and the associated environmental changes are increasingly reflected in social systems. Based on eight years of research, this book sheds light on the impact of climate extremes on migration and displacement. It provides insights into the different contexts in which people experience the effects of climate change and how they shape migration decisions. In the absence of a supranational governance framework, individuals and institutions are already searching for sustainable solutions across the migration cycle to uplift communities. This book builds on qualitative interviews and focus group discussions in numerous countries with people who had to leave their ancestral homelands due to climate impacts, with groups trying to support them, and also with those who want to prevent migration. These exchanges produced not only a body of scientific work, but also a complex overall picture and personal impressions of the state of our planet and the people who live on it. "Kira Vinke's pioneering work on climate migration sheds light on the darkness in which millions of people are fighting for their own survival." Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, Director General, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis "Kira Vinke's work is an eye-opening testimony to the impacts of the climate crisis on migration and displacement. Her rigorously researched book combines narrations of displacement experiences around the world with hard facts. Despite all the challenges, it offers hope and highlights the urgency to act now." Andrew Harper, Special Advisor on Climate Action to the High Commissioner for Refugees, UNHCR
Constructing Utopias
Amid its groundbreaking political reforms and "largest mass migration ever seen in human history," China created over 3,800 new towns to accommodate its burgeoning urban population and sustain economic growth. Economic marketization, global trade, inter-city competition, and the exponentially growing real estate industry have driven tremendous investment in infrastructure and large-scale developments, stimulating continuous urban expansion. Surpassing any urbanization initiatives in history, contemporary Chinese new towns emerged as the national campaign to reimagine Chinese cities while reshaping the global geo-economic landscape. Constructing Utopias examines four decades of Chinese urbanization through the lens of urbanism and utopianism. After exploring the theoretical foundations and historical precedents of new town development, the book delves into a series of "model new towns" that showcase innovative planning, design, technologies, policies, and China's broader vision for a modern urban nation. Case studies of the Suzhou Industrial Park, One City and Nine Towns in Shanghai, prototypical eco-cities, and the notorious "ghost towns" form the core of this book, highlighting fundamental issues in urbanization including economic vitality, cultural identity, environmental sustainability, and socio-spatial dynamics. The author scrutinizes these new towns not only as grand visions of governments, planners, and developers but also as physical spaces embodying the struggles and aspirations of residents and migrant workers. By examining both the successes and failures of Chinese new town planning and development, this book illuminates the complex interplay between space production and social transformation within the context of neoliberalism and globalization.
Becoming Nature Positive

New waterfront cities in contemporary Tunisia
This book deals with a phenomenon that has been proliferating in Tunisia since the beginning of the twenty-first century: the production of new waterfront cities. A phenomenon that is a by-product of the country's littoralization, caused by a variety of factors, whether natural (essentially orobioclimatic), historical (inherited from colonialism) and/or political (dictated by the choices and orientations of the public authorities, mainly the post-independence state).The book consists of three chapters. The first chapter brings together three characteristics that define the portrait of these voluntary urban artifacts: their tendency to extraversion, their aspiration (and inspiration) to modernity, and their utopian imaginary. The second chapter classifies them according to the two main frames of reference to which they relate: tourism and ecology. The third chapter traces the genealogy of these artifacts-which are more than projects, but a historical movement-from before the establishment of the French protectorate to the present day.
