Mapping Sustainability Measurement A Review of the Approaches, Methods, and Literature


Free Download Mapping Sustainability Measurement: A Review of the Approaches, Methods, and Literature (Sustainable Development Goals Series) by Agnieszka Gehringer, Susann Kowalski
English | January 3, 2024 | ISBN: 3031473817 | 185 pages | MOBI | 21 Mb
This book explores modern approaches to sustainability and its measurement. It thoroughly reviews a wide range of existing sustainability measurement systems. Accordingly, the book documents the state of progress toward sustainability measurement by first assessing the past development of wellbeing measurement going beyond GDP and synthesizing the various conceptual approaches to sustainability and its dimensions. It then explores crucial methodological aspects that stay at the core of constructing a sound index system. In the main part of the book, we map the available indices or index systems, their conceptual and methodological backgrounds as well as approaches, which have not yet resulted in an index, but have the potential to contribute to a better understanding of sustainability. More specifically, the book assesses the scope, motivation, and potential usage of each index. It also documents their limitations and drawbacks. This mapping exercise is useful for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners as it offers a detailed and compact overview of where we are and what we still need to account for when measuring sustainability.

Voices for African Liberation Conversations with the Review of African Political Economy


Free Download Leo Zeilig, "Voices for African Liberation: Conversations with the Review of African Political Economy"
English | ISBN: 1739985206 | 2024 | 534 pages | EPUB | 381 KB
The human cost of Africa’s longstanding exploitation by foreign imperialist powers within the global capitalist economy are well documented, and today Africa is suffering under the disproportionate impact of the climate emergency. In this context, the imperative of anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist critique for a socialist African future has never been more urgent. Voices for African Liberation presents 38 interviews with African and Africanist socialists conducted by the Review of African Political Economy between 2015 and 2023, bringing to life older voices of liberation and lost radical histories alongside newer initiatives, projects, and activists who are engaged in the contemporary struggles to reshape Africa – to make, win, and sustain a revolutionary transformation in our devastated world.

The Scalping of the Great Sioux Nation A Review of My Life on the Rosebud and Pine Ridge Reservations


Free Download Philip E. Davis, "The Scalping of the Great Sioux Nation: A Review of My Life on the Rosebud and Pine Ridge Reservations"
English | 2009 | ISBN: 0761848258 | EPUB | pages: 216 | 1.8 mb
The Scalping of the Great Sioux Nation recalls Davis’ early upbringing and education on two Indian reservations. Davis also assesses the policies of the United States government regarding the status of Indians in society. Scalping is not too strong a term to describe the multiple injustices which the Sioux tribes of South Dakota and elsewhere have suffered. The general hate and bigotry which Custer often displayed toward Indians (and blacks) only reflected a similar feeling among many white settlers, presidents, and congressmen. The Indian struggle for survival, self-governance, and sovereignty has met with limited success since the days of the white and Indian massacres. Federal Indian law has changed slightly to accommodate those desires. Casino gaming has added another dimension to the struggle for decent living conditions, but with dubious consequences for the average Indian.

Free Download The Bridge of Beyond (New York Review Books Classics) by Simone Schwarz-Bart, translated by Barbara Bray
English | August 20, 2013 | ISBN: 1590176804 | True EPUB | 272 pages | 0.5 MB
This is an intoxicating tale of love and wonder, mothers and daughters, spiritual values and the grim legacy of slavery on the French Antillean island of Guadeloupe. Here long-suffering Telumee tells her life story and tells us about the proud line of Lougandor women she continues to draw strength from. Time flows unevenly during the long hot blue days as the madness of the island swirls around the villages, and Telumee, raised in the shelter of wide skirts, must learn how to navigate the adversities of a peasant community, the ecstasies of love, and domestic realities while arriving at her own precious happiness. In the words of Toussine, the wise, tender grandmother who raises her, "Behind one pain there is another. Sorrow is a wave without end. But the horse mustn’t ride you, you must ride it."
