Climate Justice : Vulnerability and Protection
The fruit of twenty years of moral reflection on the emerging greatest challenge to humanity of the 21st century, these far-sighted and influential essays by a pioneering practical philosopher on the tangled questions of justice between nations and justice across generations confronting all attempts at international cooperation in controlling climate change sharply crystallize the central choices and offer constructive directions forward.Arguing that persistent attempts by U.S. negotiators to avoid the fundamental issues of justice at the heart of persistent international disagreement on the terms of a binding multilateral treaty are as morally misguided as they are diplomatically counter-productive, Henry Shue has built a case that efforts to price carbon (through cap-and-trade or carbon taxes) as a mechanism to drive down greenhouse gas emissions by the affluent must, for both ethical and political reasons, be complemented by international transfers that temporarily subsidize the development of non-carbon energy and its dissemination to those trapped in poverty.Our vital escape from climate change rooted in the dominance of the fossil fuel regime ought not, and in fact need not, come at the price of de-railing the escape of the world's poorest from poverty rooted in lack of affordable energy that does not undermine the climate.The momentum of changes in the planetary climate system and the political inertia of energy regimes mean that future generations, like the poorest of the present, are vulnerable to our decisions, and they have rights not to be left helpless by those of us with the power instead to leave them hope.

Caring Democracy : Markets, Equality, and Justice
A rethinking of American democracy that puts caring responsibilities at the centerAmericans now face a caring deficit: there are simply too many demands on people’s time for us to care adequately for our children, elderly people, and ourselves.At the same time, political involvement in the United States is at an all-time low, and although political life should help us to care better, people see caring as unsupported by public life and deem the concerns of politics as remote from their lives.Caring Democracy argues that we need to rethink American democracy, as well as our fundamental values and commitments, from a caring perspective.What it means to be a citizen is to be someone who takes up the challenge: how should we best allocate care responsibilities in society?Joan Tronto argues that we need to look again at how gender, race, class, and market forces misallocate caring responsibilities and think about freedom and equality from the standpoint of making caring more just.The idea that production and economic life are the most important political and human concerns ignores the reality that caring, for ourselves and others, should be the highest value that shapes how we view the economy, politics, and institutions such as schools and the family.Care is at the center of our human lives, but Tronto argues it is currently too far removed from the concerns of politics.Caring Democracy traces the reasons for this disconnection and argues for the need to make care, not economics, the central concern of democratic political life.

Play and Social Justice : Equity, Advocacy, and Opportunity
The importance of play for healthy development is undeniable.Aspects of play have been linked to the development of social skills, health and fitness, motivation, curiosity, innovation, imagination, and problem solving.Both theory and research suggest that play of various types is critical for healthy development and that playfulness is an important quality across the life span.However, opportunities to play and quality of play facilities in schools, after-school programs, childcare centers, community parks, and museums are not equitable by race, socio-economic status, and ability. And racial profiling, immigrant status, illness, and incarceration interfere with child’s play.The first section of the book defines play and social justice and describes disparities in play opportunities in childcare, schools, and communities as well as inequities in how play is interpreted.The next section describes pre-school, elementary, high school, and university programs that use play to liberate, teach, and build community as well as after-school, hospital, and community programs that help to level the playing field of opportunity.The final part of the book discusses ways to ameliorate inequities through research and advocacy.Four research methods are described that are useful for conducting studies on the amount of play children experience, attitudes toward play, and the effect of play on other variables.Finally, a child, a parent, and a teacher describe ways they tried to obtain more recess, using various methods of advocacy.The appendix provides resources indispensable for those convinced that play for all is indeed a social justice issue worthy of advocacy.

"Equality before, but justice first?"
"Equality before, but justice first" suggests that while equality is important, it should not come at the expense of justice. This phrase emphasizes the need to address systemic injustices and inequalities in order to achieve true equality. It implies that simply treating everyone the same does not necessarily address the underlying issues of discrimination and oppression. Instead, it calls for prioritizing justice in order to create a more equitable society for all.

What is the difference between primary protection and performance protection compared to auxiliary protection and tax protection?
Primary protection and performance protection are focused on safeguarding the core functions and assets of an organization, such as its data, infrastructure, and operations. These protections are designed to ensure the smooth functioning and continuity of the business. On the other hand, auxiliary protection and tax protection are more focused on providing additional layers of security and compliance, such as protecting against specific risks or ensuring adherence to tax regulations. While primary and performance protection are essential for the day-to-day operations of a business, auxiliary and tax protection are more specialized and targeted towards specific areas of risk and compliance.

What is the difference between justice and equality?
Justice refers to the fair and impartial treatment of individuals based on their actions and circumstances. It involves ensuring that individuals receive what they deserve based on their conduct and the law. On the other hand, equality refers to the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, and opportunities. It focuses on ensuring that everyone has the same access to resources and opportunities, regardless of their background or circumstances. While justice emphasizes fairness and impartiality, equality emphasizes equal treatment and access to resources.

How does fire protection relate to monument protection?
Fire protection is crucial for monument protection because fires can cause irreparable damage to historical and cultural landmarks. Monuments are often made of materials that are highly susceptible to fire, such as wood, stone, and metal. Therefore, implementing fire protection measures, such as fire-resistant building materials, fire detection and suppression systems, and regular fire safety inspections, is essential to safeguarding these important structures. Additionally, fire protection also helps to preserve the surrounding environment and landscape, which are often integral to the overall significance of the monument.

Environmental Protection, Principles and Governance: The Environment Act 2021
Brexit involves a break from the environmental regulation regime of the EU, including the oversight by the European Commission.A large proportion of existing environmental law and policy in the UK derives from the EU, with its implementation largely monitored and enforced by EU institutions such as the European Commission. The Environment Act 2021 introduces a new regime of environmental principles and governance to fulfil the role that will be lost upon Brexit. The Act creates a new regime of environmental policy for the UK, together with a new system of targets, monitoring and reporting on issues such as air quality, water, waste and biodiversity.It also creates an entirely new body – the Office for Environmental Protection – with wide-ranging enforcement powers, and a new form of litigation: environmental review. In addition, the Act extends and develops environmental law sectorally in a number of significant ways, including by on waste collection, biodiversity net gain, conservation covenants and due diligence on forest risk commodities. This new book will provide a practitioners’ guide to the implementation of the Act including related legislation and regulations made under it. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Environmental Law online service.

How important is lightning protection and surge protection?
Lightning protection and surge protection are crucial for safeguarding electrical systems and equipment from damage caused by power surges and lightning strikes. Lightning strikes can cause significant damage to buildings and infrastructure, while power surges can harm sensitive electronics and appliances. By installing proper lightning protection and surge protection measures, such as surge protectors and lightning rods, the risk of costly damage and downtime can be greatly reduced, ensuring the safety and longevity of electrical systems.

Why is species protection pointless without habitat protection?
Species protection without habitat protection is pointless because the survival and well-being of a species are directly linked to the health and availability of its habitat. Without a suitable habitat, a species will struggle to find food, shelter, and breeding grounds, leading to population decline and potential extinction. Habitat protection is essential for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem balance, as it ensures that species have the resources and space they need to thrive. Therefore, without habitat protection, efforts to protect individual species will ultimately be ineffective in the long term.

Does surge protection in power strips mean lightning protection?
No, surge protection in power strips does not necessarily mean lightning protection. Surge protection is designed to protect against sudden increases in voltage, such as those caused by power surges from the electrical grid or other sources. Lightning protection, on the other hand, is specifically designed to protect against the extremely high voltage of a lightning strike. While some surge protectors may offer limited protection against lightning, it is not their primary purpose and they may not be able to fully protect against the high voltage of a direct lightning strike. For complete lightning protection, specialized equipment and installation is required.
