Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing students, teachers and readers in general, the book introduces the concept of human rights and explores ways in which human rights violations impact issues of gender and environment. In this sense it traces the underlying interconnections of key concepts against the backdrop of existing social inequalities of class, caste, gender, race and ethnicity. It delves deep into the impact of globalization on a society which is fraught with inequalities and emphasizes the need to create an equal, non-discriminatory and free world. This is perhaps the first book to incorporate such a broad range of topics all of which have a contemporary social, political and economic relevance. It will encourage students to understand, think and engage with issues and help them formulate their positions on the issues discussed. The book will be an excellent resource not only for students and teachers pursuing the subject but also for policy-makers, NGO workers and general readers who are concerned partners in wanting to create an equal and free world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change, natural disasters, and loss of biodiversity are all considered major environmental concerns for the international community both now and into the future. Each are damaging to the earth, but they also negatively impact human lives, especially those of women. Despite these important links, to date very little consideration has been given to the role of gender in global environmental politics and policy-making. This timely and insightful book explains why gender matters to the environment. In it, Nicole Detraz examines contemporary debates around population, consumption, and security to show how gender can help us to better understand environmental issues and to develop policies to tackle them effectively and justly. Our society often has different expectations of men and women, and these expectations influence the realm of environmental politics. Drawing on examples of various environmental concerns from countries around the world, Gender and the Environment makes the case that it is only by adopting a more inclusive focus that embraces the complex ways men and women interact with ecosystems that we can move towards enhanced sustainability and greater environmental justice on a global scale. This much-needed book is an invaluable guide for those interested in environmental politics and gender studies, and sets the agenda for future scholarship and advocacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Gender and Environment gathers together state-of-the-art theoretical reflections and empirical research from leading researchers and practitioners working in this transdisciplinary and transnational academic field. Over the course of the book, these contributors provide critical analyses of the gender dimensions of a wide range of timely and challenging topics, from sustainable development and climate change politics, to queer ecology and interspecies ethics in the so-called Anthropocene. Presenting a comprehensive overview of the development of the field from early political critiques of the male domination of women and nature in the 1980s to the sophisticated intersectional and inclusive analyses of the present, the volume is divided into four parts: Part I: Foundations Part II: Approaches Part III: Politics, policy and practice Part IV: Futures. Comprising chapters written by forty contributors with different perspectives and working in a wide range of research contexts around the world, this Handbook will serve as a vital resource for scholars, students, and practitioners in environmental studies, gender studies, human geography, and the environmental humanities and social sciences more broadly.
