Supportive educators can aid young people in channelling negative emotions about climate change in healthy, adaptive ways. However, globally only a small minority (13 percent) of young people in school have been asked to consider their feelings about climate change and most teachers lack training and confidence to deliver climate change education. The first portion of this chapter provides an overview of climate change education and explores young people’s climate distress in educational settings, with an emphasis on institutional betrayal. The second portion presents case studies and qualitative data from semi-structured interviews conducted with four leading practitioners whose approaches to climate change education acknowledge and support the mental health implications for young people. Finally, themes identified from thematic analysis of the interviews are presented, and key insights for good practice in climate change education are provided.

All fields of science benefit from gathering and analyzing network data. This chapter summarizes a small portion of the ways networks are found in research fields thanks to increasing volumes of data and the computing resources needed to work with that data. Epidemiology, dynamical systems, materials science, and many more fields than we can discuss here, use networks and network data. Well encounter many more examples during the rest of this book.

The twin principles Help Friends and Harm Enemies are fundamental to the structure of Oedipus at Colonus. At the outset Oedipus reveals Apollo’s prophecy which he wishes to fulfil, and whose fulfilment will constitute the action of the play. He is to find rest at Athens, ‘bringing profit by dwelling here to those who welcomed me, but doom to those who sent me away, driving me out’). The dual theme is restated more explicitly when he tells the chorus that if they help him they will gain ‘a great saviour for this city, and troubles for my enemies’. For the first 700 lines of the play, until Creon arrives, Oedipus’ two-edged hopes and emerging power to implement them are constantly stressed. He shows his benign aspect to the Athenians, to whom he promises soteria and benefits if they help him. The arrival of Ismene shows his love for his daughters, and through her message his power over Thebes is revealed. It gradually emerges how he intends to use that power, and the scene culminates in a curse on his sons and a prayer that he may indeed have the control over their fate which the oracle has promised him. Later, in his long speech to Theseus, it is made clear that the same event will simultaneously bring help to his friends and harm to his foes, and Theseus’ response shows a full understanding of this.

This concise and rigorous textbook introduces students to the subject of continuum thermodynamics, providing a complete treatment of the subject with practical applications to material modelling.

• Presents mathematical prerequisites and the foundations of continuum mechanics, taking the student step-by-step through the subject to allow full understanding of the theory.

• Introduces more advanced topics such as theories for the investigation of material models, showing how they relate to real-world practical applications.

• Numerous examples and illustrations, alongside end-of-chapter problems with helpful hints, help describe complex concepts and mathematical derivations.

While there are cases where it is straightforward and unambiguous to define a network given data, often a researcher must make choices in how they define the network and that those choices, preceding most of the work on analyzing the network, have outsized consequences for that subsequent analysis. Sitting between gathering the data and studying the network is the upstream task: how to define the network from the underlying or original data. Defining the network precedes all subsequent or downstream tasks, tasks we will focus on in later chapters. Often those tasks are the focus of network scientists who take the network as a given and focus their efforts on methods using those data. Envision the upstream task by asking, what are the nodes? and what are the links?, with the network following from those definitions. You will find these questions a useful guiding star as you work, and you can learn new insights by reevaluating their answers from time to time.

Territorial myths may ’open up’ the territory, articulating rights or telling how it became possible to inhabit it, or they may ’close’ it, delimiting it and explaining why it is ’full’. Opening myths function either through an expressly articulated charter or through the identification of certain mythic scenes and events with particular places. Such localizations, involving the concretization and remapping of mythic geography, are rather flexible and seem to have evolved as the Greek colonies expanded. ’Closing myths’, on the other hand, express the end of expansion by defining (and justifying) territorial limits. Both these types are classified as historical myths – myths that function in history, have a dynamic relation with it, and are subject to changes because of it.

This chapter introduces structures and structural interconnections for LTI systems and then considers several examples of digital filters. Examples include moving average filters, difference operators, and ideal lowpass filters. It is then shown how to convert lowpass filters into other types, such as highpass, bandpass, and so on, by use of simple transformations. Phase distortion is explained, and linear-phase digital filters are introduced, which do not create phase distortion. The use of digital filters in noise removal (denoising) is also demonstrated for 1D signals and 2D images. The filtering of an image into low and high-frequency subbands is demonstrated, and the motivation for subband decomposition in audio and image compression is explained. Finally, it is shown that the convolution operation can be represented as a matrix vector multiplication, where the matrix has Toeplitz structure. The matrix representation also shows us how to undo a filtering operation through a process called deconvolution.

This chapter argues that ecopoetry is too easily absorbed back into the logics of capitalism and colonialism. Aware of the delimiting forces surrounding its own context, the chapter argues to be taken not as an essay but as an action. It argues that for a poem to bring about environmental change, it must be part of connected interventions. The chapter outlines the poetic yarning between John Kinsella and Charmaine Papertalk Green, a member of the Wajarri, Badimaya, and Nhanagardi people of the Yamaji Nation, as a means of generative protest. It also provides an example of poems written in medias res in the collective resistance to a proposal to build bike trails on Walwalinj, a mountain sacred to the Ballardong Noongar people. This example demonstrates a poem is shaped by the particular situation and how the poem is one part of a network of actions that formed a campaign that was led by Aboriginal elders. The chapter also includes collaborative poetry written during the Roe 8 Highway protests in 2016 and poetry protesting the proposed destruction of the Julimar Forest by mining companies.

Water shapes the planet and all life upon it. Breaking down traditional disciplinary barriers, this accessible, holistic introduction to the role and importance of water in Earth’s physical and biological environments assumes no prior knowledge. It provides the reader with a clear and coherent explanation of the unique properties of water and how these allow it to affect landscapes and underpin all life on Earth. Contemporary issues surrounding water quality – such as the rise of microplastics and climate change – are highlighted, ensuring readers understand current debates. Giving all of the necessary background and up-to-date references, and including numerous examples and illustrations to explain concepts, worked mathematical calculations, and extensive end-of-chapter questions, this is the ideal introductory textbook for students seeking to understand the inextricable links between water and the environment.
