Climate Obstruction How Denial Delay and Inaction are Heating the Planet

Climate Obstruction How Denial Delay and Inaction are Heating the Planet

In Climate Obstruction: How Denial Delay and Inaction are Heating the Planet Kristoffer Ekberg Bernhard Forchtner Martin Hultman and Kirsti Jylhä bring together crucial insights from environmental history sociology media and communication studies and psychology to help us understand why we are failing to take necessary measures to avert the unfolding climate crisis. They do so by examining the variety of ways in which meaningful climate action has been obstructed. This ranges from denial of the scientific evidence for human-induced climate change and its policy consequences to (seemingly sincere) acknowledgement of scientific evidence while nevertheless delaying meaningful climate action. The authors also consider all those actions by which often well-meaning individuals and collectives (unintendedly) hamper climate action. In doing so this book maps out arguments and strategies that have been used to counter environmental protection and regulation since the 1960s by first and foremost corporations supported by conservative actors but also far-right ones as well as ordinary citizens. This timely and accessible book provides tools and lessons to understand identify and call out such arguments and strategies and points to actions and systemic and cultural changes needed to avert or at least mitigate the climate crisis. | Climate Obstruction How Denial Delay and Inaction are Heating the Planet

How Monsters Wish to Feel A Story about Emotional Resilience

How Monsters Wish to Feel A Story about Emotional Resilience

How Monsters Wish to Feel is a therapeutic story about a journey to develop emotional resilience. Using the analogy of the Japanese art of Kintsugi whereby broken pottery is restored to wholeness with a golden lacquer the story alludes to the importance of focusing on the strengths and protective factors in a child's life rather than the problems and risks in order to promote emotional resilience. It depicts a tale of how a child’s needs can sometimes become distorted so that the needs we see expressed through outward behaviour (the monster) mask the true hidden emotional needs that go unmet. The story also alludes to the importance of focusing on the strengths and protective factors in a child’s life rather than the problems and risks in order to promote emotional resilience. This beautifully illustrated storybook will appeal to all children and can be used by practitioners educators and parents as a tool to discuss emotional resilience with children. This story can be purchased alongside six other storybooks as part of a set (ISBN: 9781138556478) as well as in a set alongside the guidebook Nurturing Emotional Resilience in Vulnerable Children and Young People and six other storybooks (9781138556454).
