Critical Realism and the Objective Value of Sustainability
Critical Realism and the Objective Value of Sustainability contributes to the growing discussion surrounding the concept of sustainability, using a critical realist approach within a transdisciplinary theoretical framework to examine how sustainability objectively occurs in the natural world and in society.The book develops an ethical theory of sustainability as an objective value, rooted not in humans' subjective preferences but in the holistic web of relationships, interdependencies, and obligations existing among living things on Earth, a web believed to have maintained life on Earth over the last 3.7 billion years. It proposes three pillars of sustainability ethics: contentment for the human existence given to us; justice (beyond distributive justice); and meaningful freedom (within ecological and moral limits). Using abductive reasoning, the book infers that there is an out-of-this-world Sustainer behind the Earth's sustainability acting as a metaphysical source of all being and value. It argues that sustainability value, accepted as a shared understanding of the common good, must guide individual decisions and socio-economic development efforts as a matter of deliberate choice, as well as be built on the awareness that there are non-negotiable, pre-established conditions for our planet's sustainability.This book will be of interest to students and scholars across fields of inquiry, including sustainability, sustainable development, environmental philosophy and ethics, philosophy of science, and ecological economics, and to whoever may wonder why seasons exists and why humans have creative minds.
Climate Change is an Opportunity
We have an imperative, as never before, to change our ways. Climate change is presenting the entire human race with its greatest ever existential challenge. Like many I feel a growing sense of looming disaster. Yes, we are making some progress, but past agreements are not delivering. In this book I put a case for a new form of principled capitalism based on moral principles rather than utility and profit. I propose ten pillars that include systems thinking as citizens of the world and embracing Modern Monetary theory to guide decisions about macroeconomics and national debt.

A Comprehensive Study of Volcanic Phenomena
This book is a new addition to research works exploring the diversity of volcanic geology. This book has collected works that approach volcanic phenomena via traditional methods and highlights the significance of volcanic geology in correct and realistic volcanic reconstruction through geological mapping and material science. This important and commonly less respected area of volcanology provides the fundamental basis for understanding volcanoes. The book has attracted works that show advanced technologies and their usage in volcano science. Research subjects such as hidden volcanoes deep beneath the sea surface are common targets of complex technology-aided mapping. Geophysical methods that use approaches to locate potential eruptible magma or magmatic fluids are among the most dynamically evolving methods. As one of the ultimate goals of volcanology is to provide geology-based models that identify volcanic hazards to offer science-based approaches for volcanic hazard mitigation, this book also contains some ideas to show eruption scenarios and historical record-based approaches to understand volcanoes and how to live with them. Overall, this book is a nice collection representing the broad and colorful nature of volcano science.
Water evaluation and planning tool
Water is crucial for rice cultivation, with total water needs depending on evapotranspiration (ETc), seepage, and percolation. These factors vary based on soil type, crop growth stage, and climatic conditions across agro-ecological environments. This study estimates crop water and irrigation requirements in Raipur District, Chhattisgarh, using the MABIA method in WEAP software. The method, based on the dual crop coefficient, simulates daily evapotranspiration. FAO guidelines and the irrigator's formula determine irrigation needs, while ArcGIS generates block-wise irrigation maps. Results show rice crop water requirements range from 648.66 mm to 847.87 mm in the Kharif season, with irrigation needs between 1,23,193 MCM and 2,57,533 MCM, depending on agricultural area. Accurate estimation prevents crop wilting or excessive water loss. The WEAP model results, validated against observed data, show only a 2.5% deviation, confirming reliability. This study aids in optimizing water use for improved rice production.
Mammals Biochronology and Paleoecology of the Euro-Mediterranean Quaternary
The Quaternary is a time of fundamental climatic shifts and environmental changes that highlight the need for a thorough investigation from different perspectives and at multiple scales to disentangle the factors involved in the biota response. In turn, recognizing bioevents (e.g., the dispersal or extinction of species) and relating them to geological time is crucial for correlating changes between distant geographic regions. The mammalian fossil record is widely used for biochronological correlations and paleoecological reconstructions of the Euro-Mediterranean region and represents an especially important proxy for inferring the timing, pattern, and paleoenvironmental context of the earliest events of hominin dispersal into Europe. Conducting research on the response of mammals to the paleoenvironmental changes in the Euro-Mediterranean Quaternary and developing a consistent and precise biochronological framework require the thoughtful integration of data and schemes from different geographic areas. This Special Issue aimed at fostering progress in this direction, resulting in articles that cover a large geographical scope, encompassing most of the northern Mediterranean region and adjacent areas, and a wide range of approaches, including biochronological to paleoecological research and more.
Charged
Charged explores a bold rethinking of natural phenomena by framing the Earth not as an electrically neutral sphere, but as a charged body with far-reaching consequences. It begins by establishing the Earth's negative charge and then examines how this perspective sheds light on fundamental dynamics such as the origin of the magnetic field, the rotation of the planet, and the forces driving weather. From rainfall to typhoons and tornadoes, electrical charge emerges as a unifying principle for explaining atmospheric processes in ways that go beyond traditional meteorology.This electrical paradigm is extended to broader mysteries of nature, including gravitation, which is reconsidered not as mass-based attraction alone but as an interaction between electrical charges within matter--potentially explaining puzzling anomalies like gravitational variability from summer to winter, and during eclipses. The same principles are applied to motion and lift: whether dust particles, birds, planes, fish, or sailboats, movement through air or water is reinterpreted as a consequence of charge interactions with the Earth. Taken together, these sections propose an alternative framework in which electricity plays a central, often overlooked role in shaping the forces and motions of the natural world.

From Ice to Inferno
From Ice to HeatEarth's climate has always been a story of change-a sweeping, natural evolution driven by the atmosphere, oceans, continents, and the living world. Over billions of years, these changes unfolded gradually, giving ecosystems time to adapt and species time to evolve.But today, we face a climate crisis unlike any before.Fueled by human activity, the pace of change has accelerated beyond anything in Earth's long history. What once took millennia is now unfolding in decades. From Ice to Heat is both a chronicle of Earth's climate history and a call to action, tracing our planet's journey through ice ages, warming periods, and the delicate balance of the Holocene-the brief climate window that allowed human civilization to emerge and thrive.Now, that balance is unraveling.Rising greenhouse gas levels have pushed us to the brink, triggering rising sea levels, extreme weather, and unprecedented biodiversity loss. This book explores how we got here-and what comes next-connecting deep-time geological history with the urgent challenges of today's global warming.Inside, you'll discover: How Earth's climate system has shifted across the ages-from glaciations to interglacialsWhy the Holocene was uniquely suited to human developmentThe impact of industrialization on greenhouse gas concentrationsThe science behind sea level rise, heatwaves, and climate tipping pointsWhat Earth's climate history teaches us about resilience-and vulnerabilityBut this is more than a scientific account. It's a human story. One that asks: Can we halt the momentum of climate change before it reshapes life as we know it?Can we adapt fast enough to survive what's already underway?Can we unite across borders and generations to confront the defining challenge of our time?The answers are complex-but not hopeless.From the caves of prehistoric humans to satellite records of melting glaciers, From Ice to Heat weaves environmental science with compelling storytelling to show that the future isn't written yet. Our past offers lessons-and warnings. And the next chapter will be determined not by climate models alone, but by the actions we choose to take now.
