The No-nonsense Guide to Green Politics
Green issues and politics are no longer separate entities, and as environmental issues will only become more pertinent in the future, it will dominate the political spectrum. From climate chaos to consumerism, the crisis facing human civilisation is clear. Yet the response from polticians at present is still inadequate and environmental activists focus on single campaigns rather than electoral politics. The new addition to the No-Nonsense Guides measures the rising tide of eco-activism and awareness and explains why it heralds a new politcal era worldwide.
The Commons in History
An argument that the commons is neither tragedy nor paradise but can be a way to understand environmental sustainability. The history of the commons—jointly owned land or other resources such as fisheries or forests set aside for public use—provides a useful context for current debates over sustainability and how we can act as “good ancestors.” In this book, Derek Wall considers the commons from antiquity to the present day, as an idea, an ecological space, an economic abstraction, and a management practice. He argues that the commons should be viewed neither as a “tragedy” of mismanagement (as the biologist Garrett Hardin wrote in 1968) nor as a panacea for solving environmental...
Elinor Ostrom's Rules for Radicals
Elinor Ostrom was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize for Economics. Her theorising of the commons has been celebrated as groundbreaking and opening the way for non-capitalist economic alternatives, yet, many radicals know little about her.This book redresses this, revealing the indispensability of her work for green politics, left economics and radical democracy. Ostrom has often been viewed as a conservative or managerial thinker; but Derek Wall's analysis of her work reveals a how itis invaluable for developing a left political programme in the twenty-first century. Central to Ostrom's work was the move 'beyond panaceas'; transforming institutions to widen participation, promote divers...

The Politics of Transindividuality
The Politics of Transindividuality re-examines social relations and subjectivity through the concept of transindividuality. Transindividuality is understood as the mutual constitution of individuality and collectivity, and as such it intersects with politics and economics, philosophical speculation and political practice. While the term transindividuality is drawn from the work of Gilbert Simondon, this book views it broadly, examining such canonical figures as Spinoza, Hegel, and Marx, as well as contemporary debates involving Etienne Balibar, Bernard Stiegler, and Paolo Virno. Through these intersecting aspects and interpretations of transindividuality the book proposes to examine anew the intersection of politics and economics through their mutual constitution of affects, imagination, and subjectivity.
Climate Strike
Climate change is a product of the entire social and economic system within which we exist, in a word, capitalism.
Five Years
JOHN PARKER has no idea what disease has killed so many and will kill so many more. He doesn't understand what brings a murderous fever to otherwise harmless people. He can't begin to understand how of why a fetus might rip its own way out of the womb. Science and Satan have pushed human evolution to the brink and in five years, civilization will very nearly be lost. JOHN PARKER doesn't know why this will be, not yet. Genetic engineers and a shadowy government agency have created a race of assassins whose very production may be the cause. Survivors of the plague worship an imbecile in Las Vegas in the new America. The church of Satan fights for recognition and their rightful place in the world to be, while skinheads and a washed up New Jersey cowboy pick over the scraps of greater Los Angeles. Mankind doesn't seem worth saving anymore.
