Glacier: Nature and Culture (Earth) by Peter G. Knight

As major actors in the unfolding drama of climate change, glaciers feature prominently in Earth's past and its future. Wherever on the planet we live, glaciers affect each of us directly. They control the atmospheric and ocean circulations that drive the weather; they supply drinking and irrigation water to millions of people; and they protect us from catastrophic sea-level rise. The very existence of glaciers affects our view of the planet and of ourselves, but it is less than two hundred years since we first realized that ice ages come and go and that glaciers once covered much more of the planet's surface than they do now.

Ice: Nature and Culture (Earth)

Ice: Nature and Culture (Earth) by Klaus Dodds
English | June 15th, 2018 | ISBN: 178023905X | 224 pages | True EPUB | 36.21 MB

In Ice, Klaus Dodds provides a wide-ranging exploration of the cultural, natural, and geopolitical history of this most slippery of subjects. Beyond Earth, ice has been found on other planets, moons, and meteors—and scientists even think that ice-rich asteroids played a pivotal role in bringing water to our blue home. But our outlook need not be cosmic to see ice's importance. Here today and gone tomorrow in many parts of the temperate world, ice is a perennial feature of polar and mountainous regions, where it has long shaped human culture. But as climates change, ice caps and glaciers melt, and waters rise, more than ever this frozen force touches at the core of who we are.

Famines During the ʻLittle Ice Ageʼ (1300-1800): Socionatural Entanglements in Premodern Societies

Famines During the ʻLittle Ice Ageʼ (1300-1800): Socionatural Entanglements in Premodern Societies By Dr. Dominik Collet, Dr. Maximilian Schuh
English | PDF | 2017 (2018 Edition) | 265 Pages | ISBN : 3319543415 | 5.98 MB

This highly interdisciplinary book studies historical famines as an interface of nature and culture. It will bring together researchers from the natural and social sciences as well as the humanities. With reference to recent interdisciplinary concepts (disaster studies, vulnerability studies, environmental history) it will examine, how the dominant opposition of natural and cultural factors can be overcome. Such an integrated approach includes the "archives of nature" as well as "archives of man".

South Pole: Nature and Culture (Earth)

South Pole: Nature and Culture (Earth) by Elizabeth Leane
English | June 19th, 2016 | ASIN: B01HD7I9NW, ISBN: 1780235968 | 224 pages | EPUB | 24.76 MB

As one of two points where the Earth's axis meets its surface, the South Pole should be a precisely defined place. But as Elizabeth Leane shows in this book, conceptually it is a place of paradoxes. An invisible spot on a high, featureless ice plateau, the Pole has no obvious material value, yet it is a highly sought-after location, and reaching it on foot is one of the most extreme adventures an explorer can undertake. The Pole is, as Leane shows, a deeply imagined place, and a place of politics, where a series of national claims converge.
