Power Shift

release date: Apr 15, 2021
Power Shift
Energy transitions are fundamental to achieving a zero-carbon economy. This book explains the urgently needed transition in energy systems from the perspective of the global political economy. It develops an historical, global, political and ecological account of key features of energy transitions: from their production and financing, to how they are governed and mobilised. Informed by direct engagement in projects of energy transition, the book provides an accessible account of the real-world dilemmas in accelerating transitions to a low carbon economy. As well as changes to technology, markets, institutions and behaviours, Power Shift shows that shifts in power relations between and within countries, and across social groups and political actors, are required if the world is to move onto a more sustainable path. Using contemporary and historical case studies to explore energy transitions, it will be of interest to students and researchers across disciplines, policymakers and activists.

Transnational Climate Change Governance

release date: Jul 21, 2014
Transnational Climate Change Governance
The world of climate politics is increasingly no longer confined to the activities of national governments and international negotiations. Critical to this transformation of the politics of climate change has been the emergence of new forms of transnational governance that cut across traditional state-based jurisdictions and operate across public and private divides. This book provides the first comprehensive, cutting-edge account of the world of transnational climate change governance. Co-authored by a team of the world''s leading experts in the field and based on a survey of sixty case studies, the book traces the emergence, nature and consequences of this phenomenon, and assesses the implications for the field of global environmental politics. It will prove invaluable for researchers, graduate students and policy makers in climate change, political science, international relations, human geography, sociology and ecological economics.

Topsys & Turvys

release date: Aug 21, 2012
Topsys & Turvys
Quirky, clever, and marvelously inventive, this book takes the reader into a world of imagination and adventure. Peter Newell utilizes a unique cartoon art form that the reader perceives as an optical illusion. Each illustration is supported by a caption that turns each page into loads of fun. Each page will delight the reader with a new and uniquely illustrated story that tells its tale right-side up and upside down. It provides as much entertainment for adults as it does for the children for whom it was created. Topsys & Turvys Book 2 also available from Tuttle Publishing.

Topsys and Turvys Number 2

release date: Aug 21, 2012
Topsys and Turvys Number 2
A timeless classic, Topsys and Turvys Number 2 is the perfect interactive book for people of all ages. It''s been 120 years since Peter Newell''s enduringly popular Topsys and Turvys 2—the sequel to his bestselling Topsy and Turvys—was first published in the United States. Using the same ingenious style and imagination, he invents worlds of confusion and fun as he transforms hunters into bears, has a buffalo converse with a tree frog, or creates and illustrates pure nonsense. The story changes depending on whether you are holding the action book "upside-down" or "right-side-up." These beautiful classic books reproduce all of the brilliant color and charm of the originals while ensuring that Topsys and Turvys can be shared and enjoyed anew by future generations. Peter Newell (1862-1924) began his career as an artist drawing portraits, using crayons as his medium. In his fantastic humor, many believe, is the first appearance of the gentle comedy of the absurd which The New Yorker has subsequently developed to such a high level. Tuttle Publishing has kept Newell''s retro books in print for the new generation to enjoy a whimsical, thought-provoking look at life.
