The Monster is an 1898 novella by American author Stephen Crane (1871-1900). The story takes place in the small, fictional town of Whilomville, New York. An African-American coachman named Henry Johnson, who is employed by the town''s physician, Dr. Trescott, becomes horribly disfigured after he saves Trescott''s son from a fire. When Henry is branded a "monster" by the town''s residents, Trescott vows to shelter and care for him, resulting in his family''s exclusion from the community. The fictional town of Whilomville, which is used in 14 other Crane stories, was based on Port Jervis, New York, where Crane lived with his family for a few years during his youth. It is thought that he took inspiration from several local men who were similarly disfigured, although modern critics have made numerous connections between the story and the 1892 lynching in Port Jervis of an African-American man named Robert Lewis. A study of prejudice, fear and isolation in a small town, the novella was first published in Harper''s Magazine in August 1898. A year later it was included in The Monster and Other Stories-the last collection of Crane''s work to be published during his lifetime. After being admonished by his father, Dr. Ned Trescott, for damaging a peony while playing in his family''s yard, young Jimmie Trescott visits his family''s coachman, Henry Johnson. Henry, who is described as "a very handsome negro," "known to be a light, a weight, and an eminence in the suburb of the town,"[20] is friendly toward Jimmie. Later that evening Henry dresses smartly and saunters through town-inciting catcalls from friends and ridicule from the local white men-on his way to call on the young Bella Farragut, who is extremely taken with him. That same evening, a large crowd gathers in the park to hear a band play. Suddenly, the nearby factory whistle blows to alert the townspeople of a fire in the second district of the town; men gather hose-carts and head toward the blaze that is quickly spreading throughout Dr. Trescott''s house. Mrs. Trescott is saved by a neighbor, but cannot locate Jimmie, who is trapped inside. Henry appears from the crowd and rushes into the house in search of the boy, finding him unharmed in his bedroom. Unable to retreat the way he came, Henry carries Jimmie, wrapped in a blanket, to the doctor''s laboratory and the hidden stairway that leads outside. He discovers the fire has blocked this way out as well and collapses beside Dr. Trescott''s desk. A row of nearby jars shatters from the heat, spilling molten chemicals upon Henry''s upturned face...

In the early 1900s, author Peter Newell wrote tow special books for children to enjoy along with their parents. For the youngest, these were a "read to me" books. For children with a few years of experience, they could be read privately and enjoyed. Every page of story is accompanied by an illustration showing exactly what Newell pictured happening as he wrote the story. But, each book had something very special about it. For THE ROCKET BOOK, right in the middle of the text, from page to page, special pictures showed how the hole being made by the errant rocket grew and grew! For THE SLANT BOOK, Newell had everything set at an angle. Even the book was trimmed at an angle so the outside matched the inside. We are uncertain if these ever were published together (it is doubtful) but here they are. Together. To enjoy. Please note that because of their age, these stories are in the Public Domain.

Le capitalisme est-il en mesure d’apporter une réponse aux défis du changement climatique ? Peut-on imaginer un capitalisme d’un genre différent, capable d’assurer la croissance économique tout en étant moins dépendant des énergies fossiles ? Si oui, comment y parvenir ? Ce sont les questions ambitieuses que pose cet ouvrage. Il ne s’agit pas seulement des technologies ou des mesures envisageables pour aborder ces défis. Il est surtout question de stratégie, de politique et de pouvoir, et de savoir comment amener les intérêts en jeu et les acteurs détenteurs du pouvoir à converger vers une transformation des modes de développement. Climat et capitalisme montre que des choses nouvelles et surprenantes sont en train d’émerger en matière de politique climatique. L’ouvrage explore le processus de « décarbonisation » de l’économie, dans sa logique et sa complexité. Etant donné la domination du capitalisme et des idéologies libérales, cette décarbonisation dépendra de la création de marchés du carbone auxquels s’associeront les principaux acteurs de l’économie mondiale. L’ouvrage étudie les dilemmes que cela pose, ainsi que la nécessité de remettre en question le pouvoir de nombreux acteurs sur les marchés, la culture de l’énergie et les inégalités mondiales en matière de consommation énergétique. L''ouvrage s’adresse à tous ceux qui souhaitent mieux comprendre les enjeux des défis climatiques et plus particulièrement aux étudiants et chercheurs dans les domaines de l’environnement, du développement et des relations internationales.

"Iván enciende un cohete en el sótano que rompe el techo y atraviesa cada piso, dejando un reguero de desastres y un agujero en cada página."--Publisher''s description.

This paper explores the opportunities for a ''just transition'' to low carbon and sustainable energy systems; one that addresses the current inequities in the distribution of energy benefits and their human and ecological costs. In order to prioritize policies that address energy poverty alleviation and sustainability concerns, national action and higher levels of international cooperation and coordination are required to steer public policy towards a broader range of public interests. This also implies re-directing the vast sums of private energy finance that currently serve a narrow set of interests. This paper considers how national and global energy governance must adapt and change to ensure a just transition to low carbon and sustainable energy systems. Creating a low carbon and sustainable energy transition will face significant challenges in overcoming opposition from a broad array of interest groups. The challenges of guiding a just transition are amplified by the relinquishing of government control over the energy sector in many countries and the current weak and fragmented state of global energy governance. The necessary changes in energy decision making will entail complex trade-offs and rebound effects that make strong, participatory and transparent institutional arrangements essential in order to govern such challenges equitably. In this respect, procedural justice is critical to achieving distributive justice and to creating a simultaneously rapid, sustainable and equitable transition to clean energy futures.
