In a world increasingly threatened by ecological crises, 'Nature is a Battlefield' by Razmig Keucheyan illuminates the harsh realities of environmental injustice. This compelling book explores the intersection of capitalism and environmental degradation, revealing how 'environmental racism' disproportionately affects marginalized communities, particularly in the siting of toxic waste landfills. The author argues that the current ecological conversation often overlooks these systemic inequalities, focusing instead on abstract solutions. With 220 pages of eye-opening insights, this work critiques the 'environmental finance' movement, highlighting how financial instruments like carbon markets and pollution permits are profiting from the vulnerabilities created by climate change rather than offering sustainable solutions. Keucheyan's analysis extends into the military domain, investigating how nations are responding to resource scarcity and natural disasters through a 'green war' lens. From the devastation in New Orleans to the tensions in the Arctic, this book sheds light on the geopolitical dimensions of the climate crisis. Written in a clear and engaging style, 'Nature is a Battlefield' is essential reading for anyone interested in environmental studies, social justice, and the future of our planet.

Description:


In the midst of the current ecological crisis, there is often lofty talk of the need for humanity to ˜overcome its divisions™ and work together to tackle the big challenges of our time. But as this new book by Razmig Keucheyan shows, the real picture is very different. Just take the case of the siting of toxic waste landfills in the United States: if you want to know where waste is most likely to be dumped, ask yourself where Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans and other racial minorities live and where the poorest neighbourhoods are. This kind of ˜environmental racism™ is by no means restricted to the United States: it is very much a global phenomenon.


Keucheyan show how the capitalist response to the crisis has been marked by a massive expansion in ˜environmental finance™. From ˜carbon markets™ to ˜pollution permits™, ˜climate derivatives™ and ˜catastrophe bonds™, we are seeing a proliferation of nature-related financial products. Instead of tackling the root of the problem, the neoliberal strategy seeks to profit from environmental risks.


Moreover, with the rise in natural disasters, resource scarcity, food crises, the destabilization of the poles and oceans and the prospect of tens of millions of ˜climate refugees™, Western powers are increasingly adopting a military response to ecological problems. The Cold War is over: welcome to the ˜green wars™. From New Orleans to the Siachen glacier via the Arctic floes, Keucheyan explores the landmark sites of this new ˜climate geostrategy™.

Shipped well
Fit Type: Relaxed,Classic, Color: Black, Size: 40W x 38L
As a tall person, things are normally difficult to find. This seller did well on the packaging and shipping, so I wanted to support them in order to still have a vendor that sells my sizes. These jeans in particular did fit me nicely.

The Wrangler Jeans sized 62x28 were incorrectly tagged for size.
Fit Type: Relaxed,Classic, Color: Antique Indigo, Size: 64W x 30L
The exterior size tags a adhesive strip on the leg were marked were marked 62X28. these tags were the INCORRECT . the jeans have a white cloth tag sewn inside the garment on the left front pocket that clearly indicated these jeans are size 60X32.. It's a case an of improperly marked pair of jeans. looking at them on a display shelf one would have to believe this pair of jeans were size 62X28. i do not old the shipping department at blame. I need to exchange them for the proper size.
