Handbook of Globalization and the Environment

Khi V. Thai, Dianne Rahm, Jerrell D. Coggburn “Handbook of Globalization and the Environment ”

Proponents of globalization argue that it protects the global environment from degradation and promotes worldwide sustainable economic growth while opponents argue the exact opposite. Examining the local, national, and international impacts of globalization, the Handbook of Globalization and the Environment explores strategies and solutions that support healthy economic growth, protect the environment, and create a more equitable world. The book sets the stage with coverage of global environmental issues and policies. It explores international sustainable development, the evolution of global warming policy, transborder air pollution, desertification, space and the global environment, and human right to water. Building on this foundation, the editors discuss global environmental organizations and institutions with coverage of the UN’s role in globalization, the trade-environment nexus, the emergence of NGOs, and an analysis of the state of global environmental knowledge and awareness from an international and comparative perspective.

Emphasizing the effects of increasingly integrated global economy on the environment and society, the book examines environmental management and accountability. It addresses green procurement, provides an overview of U.S. environmental regulation and the current range of voluntary and mandatory pollution prevention mechanisms in use, explores a two-pronged approach to establishing a sustainable procurement model, and examines a collaborative community-based approach to environmental regulatory compliance. The book concludes with an analysis of controversial issues, such as eco-terrorism, North-South disputes, environmental justice, the promotion of economic growth through globalization in less developed countries, and the ability of scientists to communicate ideas so that policy makers can use science in decision making

Bush at War

Bob Woodward - Bush at War Simon & Schuster (November 19, 2002) | ISBN: 0743204735 | Edition - 2002 | PDF | 1.3 MB Much of the book recounts events in meetings of the National Security Council (NSC), with the major players in the story, aside from the President, being Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, George Tenet and Condoleezza Rice. Woodward examined notes from such NSC meetings and also interviewed administration officials including President Bush.

Woodward especially focuses on the administration’s decision to go to war in Afghanistan and its strategic and tactical decisions in that vein. As one of the first detailed accounts of these decisions, prior to inside accounts like Richard A. Clarke’s Against All Enemies, Woodward’s book was widely acclaimed, getting praise from The Times and other major papers. The book was criticized by Michael Scheuer, former CIA chief of the Bin Laden station, in his book Imperial Hubris for offering a platform for government leaks, which he deemed harmful to national security: “After reading Mr. Woodward’s Bush at War, it seems to me that the U.S. officials who either approved or participated in passing the information—in documents and via interviews—that is the heart of Mr. Woodward’s book, gave an untold measure of aid and comfort to the enemy.”

Tafsir Al Qur'an Wanita

Penulis : Imad Zaki Al-Barudi Penerbit : Pena Tahun : 2007 Halaman : 440 hal, 15,7 x 24 cm (jilid 1) dan 492 hal, 15,7 x 24 cm (jilid 2) Buku Tafsir Al Qur'an Wanita merupakan salah satu hal esensial dalam kehidupan kita sebagai muslim karena dari sinilah akan mendapatkan penjelasan yang lebih mendalam tentang apa saya yang Allah perintahkan kepada kita sebagai hamba-Nya. Tafsir yang mengupas hukum-hukum Al Qur'an yang diperuntukan khusus untuk wanita juga akan menjawab hal-hal berikut: Ini pertanyaan yang harus dijawab dengan pertimbangan rasional dan kebutuhan umat untuk memahami wahyu Allah Subhana Wa Ta`ala. Karya tafsir Qur`an versi gender atau khusus wanita memang belum banyak. Terlebih persoalan-persoalan hukum atau aturan-aturan syariat bagi wanita Muslimah Indonesia (kontemporer), baik itu menyangkut pribadi, di keluarga, di kantor, maupun di masyarakat, belum ada yang melirik secara serius. Paling-paling komentar dicatatan kaki saja. Padahal sangat diperlukan untuk saat ini.

Sirah Nabawiah

(Ramadhan al-Buthy) Melalui Sirah Nabawiyah insya Allah kita dapat memperoleh gambaran tentang hakikat Islam secara paripurna, yang tercermin di dalam kehidupan Nabi saw, sesudah ia dipahami secara konsepsional sebagai prinsip, kaidah, dan hukum. Sirah Nabawiyah merupakan upaya aplikatif yang bertujuan memperjelas hakikat Islam secara utuh dalam keteladanannya yang tertinggi, pada pribadi Muhammad saw.
