![H Is for Hope Climate Change from A to Z [Audiobook]](https://i123.fastpic.org/big/2024/0410/1e/468c3fb03560c99467a0494e08f61d1e.jpeg) Free Download H Is for Hope: Climate Change from A to Z (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0CWLVSPKK | 2024 | 1 hour and 27 minutes | M4B@320 kbps | 201 MB Author: Elizabeth Kolbert Narrator: Elizabeth Kolbert, Eunice Wong In twenty-six essays-one for each letter of the alphabet-the Pulitzer Prize-winning author takes us on a haunting journey through the history of climate change and the uncertainties of our future. In H Is for Hope, Elizabeth Kolbert investigates the landscape of climate change-from "A," for Svante Arrhenius, who created the world's first climate model in 1894, to "Z," for the Colorado River Basin, ground zero for climate change in the United States. Along the way she looks at Greta Thunburg's "blah blah blah" speech ("B"), learns to fly an all-electric plane ("E"), experiments with the effects of extreme temperatures on the human body ("T"), and struggles with the deep uncertainty of the future of climate change ("U"). Adapted from essays originally published in The New Yorker, H Is for Hope is simultaneously inspiring, alarming, and darkly humorous-a unique examination of our changing world.

Glimpses of Hope tells the story of the people who enable some of the middle-class consumer practices in urban Nepal. The book focuses on workers in areas such as modern food-processing, water-bottling, housebuilding, and sand-mining industries and explores how workers see such forms of work, where union organization can help, and how work opportunities emerge along lines of gender and ethnicity. Although global labor relations have been mostly in decline for decades, this ethnography offers insights and glimpses of hope in terms of labor dynamics and the opportunities various jobs may afford.

Today, more and more relatives are abandoning their dead, leaving it to local governments to dispose of the bodies. Up to 150,000 Americans now go unclaimed each year. Who are they? Why are they being forgotten? And what is the meaning of life if your death doesn't matter to others? In this extraordinary work of narrative nonfiction, eight years in the making, sociologists Pamela Prickett and Stefan Timmermans uncover a hidden social world. They follow four individuals in Los Angeles, tracing the twisting, poignant paths that put each at risk of going unclaimed, and introducing us to the scene investigators, notification officers, and crematorium workers who care for them when no one else will. ![Soldiers and Kings Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling [Audiobook]](https://i123.fastpic.org/big/2024/0324/2b/aa837fffcd8e5c723281ee3b6d941d2b.jpeg) Free Download Soldiers and Kings: Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0C6YKLRKP | 2024 | 9 hours and 57 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 286 MB Author: Jason De León Narrator: Jason De León An intense, intimate and first-of-its-kind look at the world of human smuggling in Latin America, by a MacArthur "genius" grant winner and anthropologist with unprecedented access. Political instability, poverty, climate change, and the insatiable appetite for cheap labor all fuel clandestine movement across borders. As those borders harden, the demand for smugglers who aid migrants across them increases every year. Yet the real lives and work of smugglers-or coyotes, or guides, as they are often known by the migrants who hire their services-are only ever reported on from a distance, using tired tropes and stereotypes, often depicted as boogie men and violent warlords.

Not only are they the largest minority group in the country but also the youngest: one out of five children is Latina/o. The rise in the Latina/o population has caused for panic in some areas of the country, resulting in hostile and sometimes violent racism and xenophobia, and yet, much of that hatred is fueled not on facts but rather on myths about immigration.

Free Download Jan Jorrit Hasselaar, "Climate Change, Radical Uncertainty and Hope: Theology and Economics in Conversation" English | ISBN: 9048558476 | 2022 | 180 pages | PDF | 1240 KB Views on climate change are often either pessimistic or optimistic. In this book Jan Jorrit Hasselaar discovers and explores a third way, one of hope. A debate within economics on risk and uncertainty brings him to theological questions and the concept of hope in the work of the late Jonathan Sacks―and to a renewed way of doing theology as an account of the good life. What follows is an equal conversation between theology and economics as has hardly been undertaken in recent times. It emerges that hope is not contrary to economic insights, but remarkably compatible with them. Communication between these fields of expertise can open the way for a courageous and creative embrace of radical uncertainty in climate change. A key notion here is that of a public Sabbath, or a 'workplace of hope'―times and places set aside to cultivate inspiration and mutual trust among all parties involved, enabling them to take concrete steps forward. |
