New Books
Diversity and Inclusion in Environmentalism

This book explores the challenge of taking into account issues of equity and justice in the green transformation and shows that ignoring these issues risks exacerbating the gap between the rich and the poor, the marginalised and included, and undermining widespread support for climate change mitigation. Expert contributors provide evidence and analysis in relation to the thinking and practice that has prevented us from building a broad base of people who are willing and able to take the action necessary to successfully overcome the current ecological crises. Providing examples from a wide range of marginalised and/or oppressed groups including women, disabled people, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) people and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning and others (LGBTQ+) community, the authors demonstrate how the issues and concerns of these groups are often undervalued in environmental policy-making and environmental social movements. Overall, this book supports environmental academics and practitioners to choose and campaign for effective, equitable and widely supported environmental policy, thereby enabling a smoother transition to sustainability.

Geometry: A Very Short Introduction
This book discusses the fundaments of Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries. This topic includes curved spaces, projective geometry in Renaissance art, and the geometry of spacetime inside a black hole. The study of geometry is at least 2,500 years old, and within it is the concept of mathematical proof or deductive reasoning from a set of axioms. Geometry remained a very active area of research in mathematics, with links to science and art. The subject of geometry includes examples of mathematical objects, such as Platonic solids, or theorems like the Pythagorean theorem, as well as general principles.

IOT and Spacecraft Informatics

This book provides the theory and applications of IoT systems in the design, development and operation of spacecraft. Sections present a high-level overview of IoT and introduce key concepts needed to successfully design IoT solutions, key technologies, protocols, and technical building blocks that combine into complete IoT solutions. The book features the latest advances, findings and state-of-the-art in research, case studies, development and implementation of IoT technologies for spacecraft and space systems. In addition, it concentrates on different aspects and techniques to achieve automatic control of spacecraft. Access IOT and Spacecraft Informatics.
