This open access book presents an important discussion on the interface between sustainable soil management and climate mitigation and adaptation.…
It investigates a variety of aspects in this context, such as the political and societal consequences for countries in the Global South, an assessment of the outcomes of the UNFCCC Conference of Parties held in Glasgow, appropriate legal instruments to promote desealing, regulatory concepts for negative emissions in soil and land use, the debate in Europe on carbon uptake in soils and the climate-related policy of the Convention on Biological Diversity.

Par Steven Hale. 2023
In the vein of Waiting for an Echo and Dead Man Walking, a deeply immersive look at justice in America,…
told through the interwoven lives of condemned prisoners and the men and women who come to visit them . . .In 2018, after nearly a decade&’s hiatus, the state of Tennessee began executing death row inmates, bucking national trends that showed the death penalty in decline. In less than two years, the state put seven men to death, more than any other state but Texas in that time period. It was an execution spree unlike any seen in Tennessee since the 1940s, one only brought to a halt by a global pandemic. Award-winning journalist Steven Hale was the leading reporter on these executions, covering them both locally for the Nashville Scene alt-weekly and nationally for The Appeal.In Death Row Welcomes You, Hale traces the lives of condemned prisoners at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution—and the people who come to visit them. What brought them—the visitors and convicted murderers alike—to death row?The visitors are, for the most part, not activists—or at least they did not start out that way. Nor are they the sort of killer-obsessed death row groupies such settings sometimes attract. In fact, in most cases they are average people whose lives, not to mention their views on the death penalty, were turned upside down by a face-to-face meeting with a death row prisoner.Hale&’s access to the people that make up that community afforded him a perspective that no other journalist has been granted, largely because Tennessee&’s Department of Correction has all but shut off official media access.Combining topics that have long fascinated readers—crime, death, and life inside prison—Hale writes with humanity, empathy, and insight earned by befriending death row prisoners . . . and standing witness to their final moments.Teacher, Take Care: A Guide to Well-Being and Workplace Wellness for Educators

inner experiences, we transform the container in which they are held. From here, wholeness and healing are possible; this is where actual change lives.One of the most significant sources of suffering comes from our human tendency to avoid difficult emotions. We are not taught how to face these unpleasant, often daily inner experiences (mind-body energies) and so we tend to push them away, ignore them, or become unwittingly overwhelmed by them. Yet how we meet and greet these difficult emotions has everything to do with our well-being, resilience, and ability to connect with ourselves and others.Instinctually, we fight against our uncomfortable emotions; in doing so, we reinforce messages of &“not good enough&” or &“something is wrong with me that I am feeling this way.&” In You Don't Have to Change to Change Everything, readers learn that instead of forcing themselves to feel &“happy&” and pushing away what is unpleasant, or instead of getting hooked by intense emotions,another path can lead to more profound well-being. Rather than trying to change one&’s inner experiences, this book offers six ways to shift one&’s vantage point when difficult emotions arise. Being aware from each of these six vantage points allows readers to cultivate inner stability, willingness to turn toward rather than away from themselves, greater perspective, internal strengths and inner resources, self-compassion, connection with the &“Whole Self&” versus identification with &“hole self,&” and interconnection with the world around them.I'm Rich, You're Poor: How to Give Social Media a Reality Check
