Keywords for Environmental Studies
A new vocabulary for Environmental Studies Understandings of “nature” have expanded and changed, but the word has not lost importance at any level of discourse: it continues to hold a key place in conversations surrounding thought, ethics, and aesthetics. Nowhere is this more evident than in the interdisciplinary field of environmental studies. Keywords for Environmental Studies analyzes the central terms and debates currently structuring the most exciting research in and across environmental studies, including the environmental humanities, environmental social sciences, sustainability sciences, and the sciences of nature. Sixty essays from humanists, social scientists, and scientists, each written about a single term, reveal the broad range of quantitative and qualitative approaches critical to the state of the field today. From “ecotourism” to “ecoterrorism,” from “genome” to “species,” this accessible volume illustrates the ways in which scholars are collaborating across disciplinary boundaries to reach shared understandings of key issues—such as extreme weather events or increasing global environmental inequities—in order to facilitate the pursuit of broad collective goals and actions. This book underscores the crucial realization that every discipline has a stake in the central environmental questions of our time, and that interdisciplinary conversations not only enhance, but are requisite to environmental studies today.Visit keywords.nyupress.org for online essays, teaching resources, and more.
The World Beneath
Meet the world's most fascinating sea creatures—see the lives and curiosities of colorful fish and coral reefs—this spectacular volume has more than 300 color photos and extraordinary text from a leading marine biologist and underwater photographer, and the international expert on seahorses. In this richly informative volume, brimming with new discoveries and more than three hundred colorful images of jaw-dropping fish and coral reefs, you'll swim in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans; you'll be dazzled in the Coral Triangle and amazed in Triton Bay. Up close you'll meet the Cenderawasih fairy wrasse, with its florescent yellow streak; the polka-dot longnose filefish; and the multicolored seadragon. There are scarlet-colored corals, baby-blue sponges, daffodil crinoids, and all sorts of mystifying creatures that change color at the drop of a hat. The whale shark is almost larger than life and the author's beloved pygmy seahorse, unless photographed, is almost too tiny to see. The wondrous creatures inside are charmers and tricksters and excel in the arts of seduction and deception, and you'll have the rare chance to see and delight in their antics. You'll also learn what they eat, how they play, and how they care for one another, live on one another, and mimic others when they're afraid. There is also compelling insight into the naming process, which sea creatures are facing extinction, and how we can help them before it's too late.
Ум в движении. Как действие формирует мысль
Как мозг обрабатывает информацию об окружающем нас пространстве? Как мы координируем движения, скажем, при занятиях спортом? Почему жесты помогают нам думать? Как с пространством соотносятся язык и речь? Как развивались рисование, картография и дизайн? Книга известного когнитивного психолога Барбары Тверски посвящена пространственному мышлению. Это мышление включает в себя конструирование «в голове» и работу с образами в отношении не только физического пространства, но и других его видов – пространств социального взаимодействия и коммуникации, жестов, речи, рисунков, схем и карт, абстрактных построений и бесконечного поля креативности. Ключевая идея книги как раз и состоит в том, что пространственное мышление является базовым, оно лежит в основе всех сфер нашей деятельности и всех ситуаций, в которые мы вовлекаемся. Доступное и насыщенное юмором изложение серьезного, для многих абсолютно нового материала, а также прекрасные иллюстрации привлекут внимание самых взыскательных читателей. Они найдут в книге как увлекательную конкретную информацию о работе и развитии пространственного мышления, так и важные обобщения высокого уровня, воплощенные в девять законов когниции.
