- Description
- Studies show that women are more likely than men to support environmental causes through voting, activism, and consumer choices. The authors of this book wonder what the implications for the design industry are. Does sustainable design have special appeal for women, and do they in turn offer something unique to the field? This book explores these questions through informal conversations with architects, designers, consultants, policymakers, educators, and students. What they find is that women may be changing how we all see our world and our work.

- Description
- In this work Marty Kheel offers an ecofeminist perspective on nature ethics. She argues that the influential nature theorists whose work se examines represent a masculinist orientation that devalues concern for individual animals. Drawing on feminist theories, such as an ethic of care, inspired by educational psychologist Casrol Gilligan she seeks to heal the divisions among movements and philosophies of feminism, animal advocacy, environmental ethics and holistic health .

- Description
- The chapters are peer reviewed articles, also published as part of the Journal of Psychology and Human Sexuality. Chapters include The Evolution of Sexual Pleasure, How Ecology, Genes, Fertility and Fashion Influence Mating Strategies, Sexual Strategies Across Sexual Orientations and several chapters on same-sex orientation. .Artifacts in the form of art and traditions are provided and sociological explanations for sexual orientations and behaviors throughout human evolutionary history are proposed. Early images of women are interpreted as images of power rather than simply as sex-objects. Male-male sexual interactions are explained as adaptive alliances rather than subversions of society. Cross dressing, transgender and trans-sex are given a history much older than this century in places other than metro-sexual. Observations about same-sex interactions in social species are described. Historical evidence of accidental and intentional hormone alteration by humans with natural agents make the handbook part of a history of human use of drugs affecting sex, often considered to be new or unnatural.

- Description
- Beatrix Potter (1866–1943), creator of the immortal Peter Rabbit, is known as an avid writer of comical illustrated letters to friends and as an assertive marketer of her illustrations, and this lively volume also captures her energetic participation in Victorian-era natural history research and conservation. Environmental historian Lear (Rachel Carson: Witness for Nature) relates that, as a child in an upper-middle-class family, Potter sketched flowers, dead animals and live lizards, insects and rodents that she brought home. Potter's witty journals, with their close observations of people, animals, objects and places, serve as the basis for Lear's engrossing account, which will appeal to ecologists, historians, child lit buffs and those who want to know the real Squirrel Nutkin, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle and Benjamin Bunny.
