Plants have profoundly moulded the Earth's climate & the evolutionary trajectory of life Far from being 'silent witnesses to the passage of time' plants are dynamic components of our world shaping the environment throughout history as much as that environment has shaped them In The Emerald Planet David Beerling puts plants centre stage revealing the crucial role they have played in driving global changes in the environment in recording hidden facets of Earth's history & in helping us to predict its future His account draws together evidence from fossil plants from experiments with their living counterparts & from computer models of the ' Earth System' to illuminate the history of our planet & its biodiversity This new approach reveals how plummeting carbon dioxide levels removed a barrier to the evolution of the leaf; how plants played a starring role in pushing oxygen levels upwards allowing spectacular giant insects to thrive in the Carboniferous; & it strengthens fascinating & contentious fossil evidence for an ancient hole in the ozone layer Along the way Beerling introduces a lively cast of pioneering scientists from Victorian times onwards whose discoveries provided the crucial background to these & the other puzzles This understanding of our planet's past sheds a sobering light on our own climate-changing activities & offers clues to what our climatic & ecological futures might look like There could be no more important time to take a close look at plants & to understand the history of the world through the stories they tell Oxford Landmark Science books are 'must-read' classics of modern science writing which have crystallized big ideas & shaped the way we think ...

At first The Emigrants appears simply to document the lives of four Jewish emigres in the twentieth century But gradually as Sebald&s precise almost dreamlike prose begins to draw their stories the four narrations merge into one overwhelming evocation of exile & loss Written with a bone-dry sense of humour & a fascination with the oddness of existence The Emigrants is highly original in its heady mix of fact memory & fiction & photographs ...

The Emergence Of Globalism: Visions Of World Order In Britain And The
United States, 1939-1950

How competing visions of world order in the 1940s gave rise to the modern concept of globalism During and after the Second World War public intellectuals in Britain and the United States grappled with concerns about the future of democracy the prospects of liberty and the decline of the imperial system Without using the term "globalization" they identified a shift toward technological economic cultural and political interconnectedness and developed a "globalist" ideology to reflect this new postwar reality The Emergence of Globalism examines the competing visions of world order that shaped these debates and led to the development of globalism as a modern political concept Shedding critical light on this neglected chapter in the history of political thought Or Rosenboim describes how a
transnational network of globalist thinkers emerged from the traumas of war and expatriation in the 1940s and how their ideas drew widely from political philosophy geopolitics economics imperial thought constitutional law theology and philosophy of science She presents compelling portraits of Raymond Aron Owen Lattimore Lionel Robbins Barbara Wootton Friedrich Hayek Lionel Curtis Richard McKeon Michael Polanyi Lewis Mumford Jacques Maritain Reinhold Niebuhr H G Wells and others Rosenboim shows how the globalist debate they embarked on sought to balance the tensions between a growing recognition of pluralism on the one hand and an appreciation of the unity of humankind on the other An engaging look at the ideas that have shaped today's world The Emergence of Globalism is a major work of
intellectual history that is certain to fundamentally transform our understanding of the globalist ideal and its origins
