To want to 'save the planet', a person has to have a sense of belonging in it.What would a saved planet look like for a Black collective?What is this collective goal we are all signing up to, when so many of us are being left out of the conversation?In Black Climates, former Young People's Poet Laureate for London Selina Nwulu attempts to answer these questions, using her skills as a storyteller to create narratives that challenge traditional climate conversations, to explore the connections between blackness and the climate crisis.Writing in the tradition of Claudia Rankine and Christina Sharp, Selina Nwulu uses cross genre, experimental form combined with accessible and conversational prose to speak about these issues in new ways and connect with readers who may feel alienated by the mainstream climate movement. Focusing on the Black British experience, and weaving together personal experience with interviews, Black Climates is a creative attempt to explore the links between systemic deep-rooted issues that underpin both racial and climate injustice, and beyond.The book is structured in four parts: Air, Borders, Land, and How We Survive. These span air pollution, prison ecology, disability, migration, food, community care, radical imagination and much more. Each part will contain a number of essays, broken into several short sections with notes and poems threaded throughout, giving the reader space to pause and digest, as well as enabling us to interrogate the subject from different overlapping perspectives.

Presents the 250 texts Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), known as the "father of environmentalism," wrote in English, unabridged in their original formAlexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), German geographer and naturalist, is well-known for his explorations of the Americas and of Russia, for his ascension of mount Chimborazo, and for his contributions to the understanding of man-made climate change. Though he is cited today as the "father of ecology or environmentalism," many of his works have not been accessible since his death, especially his numerous papers, articles, and essays published in journals, newspapers, and magazines all over the world. Humboldt's international reception was unparalleled during his time, with publications spanning across five continents in fifteen languages, and his work influenced generations of writers-from Darwin, Poe, Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman to Carpentier, Reyes, Aira, Galeano, and García Márquez.Humboldt's complete corpus consists of 750 individual texts, published in 3,600 versions and translations across more than 1,200 periodicals during his lifetime, with 250 of theses texts appearing in English, mostly published in the United States and the United Kingdom. This two-volume collection presents these English works unabridged in their original form. Containing groundbreaking scientific insights into tropical ecosystems, postcolonial societies, and the cultural heritage of indigenous peoples, Humboldt's work not only inspired research within the halls of academia but also informed the discourse of thinkers, writers, and natural scientists worldwide. These volumes make a significant portion of the work of one of the most important figures in the history of science accessible and invites readers to engage with these important contributions to science and society.
