The World of the Siege examines relations between the conduct and representations of early modern sieges. The volume offers case studies from various regions in Europe (England, France, the Low Countries, Germany, the Balkans) and throughout the world (the Chinese, Ottoman and Mughal Empires), from the 15th century into the 18th. The international contributors analyse how siege narratives were created and disseminated, and how early modern actors as well as later historians made sense of these violent events in both textual and visual artefacts. . The volume's chronological and geographical breadth provides insight into similarities and differences of siege warfare and military culture across several cultures, countries and centuries, as well as its impact on both combatants and observers.

This book looks at some key economic aspects of the environment. Our planet is threatened by a wrong belief in a wrongly formulated growth. The term?economic growth? can only mean an increase in welfare but is often wrongly identified with production growth that may be destructive to the environment. The figure of standard national income (NI) or Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is useful for many purposes but inadequate for environmental policy making. This book develops the concept of an environmentally Sustainable National Income (eSNI). eSNI is defined as the maximally attainable level of production, using the technology of the year under review, whereby the vital environmental functions (possible uses) of the not-human-made physical surroundings remain available for future generations. Judgement of environmental sustainability requires that both NI and eSNI are looked at jointly, alongside each other. Calculations for the Netherlands for 1990-2015 provide a proof of concept. National statistical bureaus around the world are advised to provide this information for their own countries, so that policy making around the world can use sound information about the national economies and the global environment.

Finance is widely seen as an obstacle to a better world.Principles of Sustainable Finance explains how the financial sector can be mobilized to counter this. Using finance as a means to achieve social goals, we can divert the planet and its economy from its current path to a world that is sustainable for all.Written for undergraduate, graduate, and executive students of finance, economics, business, and sustainability, this textbook combines theory, empirical data, and policy to explain the sustainability challenges for corporate investment. It shows how finance can steer funding to certain companies and projects without sacrificing return and thus speed up the transition to a sustainable economy. It analyses the Sustainable Development Goals as a strategy for a better world and provides evidencethat environmental, social, and governance factors matter, explaining in detail how to incorporate these factors in the corporate and financial sectors.Tailored for students, Principles of Sustainable Finance starts each chapter with an overview and learning objectives to support study. It includes suggestions for further reading, lists and definitions of key concepts, and extensive uses of figures, boxes, and tables to enhance educational goals and clarify concepts. Principles of Sustainable Finance is also supported by an online resource that includes teaching materials and cases.

Maps in newspapers generated many discussions among cartographers and geographers working from different approaches and theoretical backgrounds. This work examines these maps from a historiographical as well as a historical perspective. It considers three main questions, namely how maps in the press should be conceptualized, how cartographic images in newspapers have been studied, and how these images changed over time. In order to provide a perspective on the origins, development, and impact of war maps in the press, we will explore maps representing three geopolitical conflicts for Brazilian audiences: The War of the Triple Alliance (1864–1870), the World War II (1939–1945) and the War on Drugs in Rio de Janeiro’s favelas (1994–2010). By exploring maps on these wars, we will identify specific cartographic practices used in this genre as well as the connections that this mode has with other types of map production and consumption.

In 1667, het jaar van de Tocht naar Chatham, stond de Republiek op het toppunt van haar roem. Anderhalve eeuw later was daar weinig meer van over en werd ons land door Napoleon van de politieke landkaart geveegd. Dit boek geeft een militaire verklaring voor het ?wonder? in de zeventiende eeuw en de neergang die daarna volgde.0Hoe waren leger en vloot in de Republiek georganiseerd en gefinancierd? Welke tactieken werden gebruikt en hoe functioneerde de militaire leiding? Waar kwamen de Staatse troepen vandaan en hoe was de samenleving erbij betrokken? Hoe leefden de tienduizenden anonieme matrozen en soldaten, en hoe keken de burgers tegen hen aan?00Een publicatie van het Nederlands Instituut voor Militaire Historie (NIMH) in Den Haag, waaraan alle auteurs verbonden zijn.

Atlas, dans la mythologie, représente un géant capable de tenir la Terre sur ses épaules sans en être écrasé. Mais quand Gérard Mercator publie en 1538 ce qu'il décide d'appeler un Atlas, le rapport des forces s'est complètement inversé : un "Atlas" est un ensemble de planches, imprimées sur du papier, quelque chose que l'on feuillette et que le cartographe tient dans sa main ; ce n'est plus la Terre que l'on a sur le dos et qui nous écrase, mais la Terre que l'on domine, que l'on possède et que l'on maîtrise totalement. Près de cinq siècles après, voilà que la situation s'inverse à nouveau : paraît un "Atlas" qui permet aux lecteurs de comprendre pourquoi il est tout à fait vain de prétendre dominer, maîtriser, posséder la Terre, et que le seul résultat de cette idée folle, c'est de risquer de se trouver écrasé par Celle que personne ne peut porter sur ses épaules", Bruno Latour. Changement climatique, érosion de la biodiversité, évolution démographique, urbanisation, pollution atmosphérique, détérioration des sols, catastrophes naturelles, accidents industriels, crises sanitaires, mobilisations sociales, sommets internationaux... Voici le premier atlas réunissant l'ensemble des données sur la crise écologique de notre temps
