The Capability Approach and Sustainability
This is the first book dedicated exclusively to the question of the relationships between sustainability and the capability approach.It is rather astonishing that the issue of sustainability first posed by the Brundtland commission in 1987 has gained so little attention from capability scholars despite the approach’s focus on human well-being.This book starts with a seminal contribution by Sen on the "Ends and Means of Sustainability" delivered as a keynote in 2000.All contributions to the book focus on the difficulties that arise from a freedom-oriented view of sustainability: they argue for taking note of the impact of human life on nature, they question the meaning of intergenerational justice when measured in the currency of "substantive freedoms" (capabilities), they raise the issue of collective responsibility and suggest ways to model and operationalize the capability approach to sustainable development.The book presents the state of the art concerning "The capability approach and sustainability" while admitting that it is only a first contribution to a growing field that deserves our attention: Defining what is to be sustained and asking how it can be sustained. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Human Development and Capabilities.

Grabbing Lightning : Building a Capability for Breakthrough Innovation

Negative Capability
Marianne Faithfull’s latest album, Negative Capability, is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of love, loss, and the fleeting nature of life. The legendary singer-songwriter lays bare her soul in these raw and intimate songs, drawing the listener in with her heartfelt vocals and introspective lyrics. From the opening track, "Misunderstanding," Faithfull captivates with her vulnerable performance, supported by a stellar cast of musicians who skillfully complement her evocative storytelling. The stripped-down arrangement allows Faithfull’s voice to soar, conveying a depth of emotion that is both captivating and heartbreaking. Standout tracks like "The Gypsy Faerie Queen" and "Born to Live" showcase Faithfull’s ability to craft powerful narratives that resonate on a personal level. Her raspy, weathered voice adds a layer of authenticity to each song, making it impossible not to be drawn into her world of pain and longing. While Negative Capability may not be a light-hearted listen, it is a deeply rewarding one for those willing to immerse themselves in Faithfull’s world. With this album, she proves once again why she is a true icon of the music industry, capable of evoking profound emotions with a single note. Overall, Negative Capability is a haunting and poignant masterpiece that solidifies Marianne Faithfull’s status as one of the greats.

Understanding Urban Cycling : Exploring the Relationship Between Mobility, Sustainability and Capital
Academic interest in cycling has burgeoned in recent years with significant literature relating to the health and environmental benefits of cycling, the necessity for cycle-specific infrastructure, and the embodied experiences of cycling. Based upon primary research in a variety of contexts such as London, Shanghai and Taipei, this book demonstrates that recent developments in urban cycling policy and practice are closely linked to broader processes of capital accumulation.It argues that cycling is increasingly caught up in discourses around smart cities that emphasise technological solutions to environmental problems and neoliberal ideas on individual responsibility and bio-political conduct, which only results in solutions that prioritise those who are already mobile.Accordingly, the central argument of the book is not that the popularisation of cycling is inherently bad, but that the manner in which cycling is being popularised gives cause for social and environmental concern.Ultimately the book argues that cycling has now become a vehicle for sustaining pro-growth agendas rather than subverting them or shifting to sustainable no-growth/de-growth and less technologically driven visions of modernity. This book makes an innovative contribution to the fields of Cycling Studies, Mobilities and Transport and will be of interest to students and academics working in Human Geography, Transport Studies, Urban Studies, Urban Planning, Public Policy, Sociology and Sustainability.

The Future of E-Mobility : Investigating the Role of Electric Mobility for Consumers and Industries
E-mobility is the future. Its development and consumer adoption are strongly contributing to several of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, playing a huge role in the shift from linear to circular economies.Providing extensive insight into this dynamic, the book reviews extant management and marketing research describing the E-mobility state-of-the-art literature from a twofold perspective; industries and consumers.Industries must consider the benefits and drawbacks related to E-mobility implementation in their business models and strategies, including the communication (online and offline) to stakeholders of such advancements.Meanwhile, consumers experience different perceptions and motivations including barriers related to the adoption of E-mobility, leading in turn to different behaviors across generational cohorts (e.g.Gen Z and Gen Alpha versus Millennials). Offering an empirical analysis based on a consumer survey, this book sheds light on all these aspects, thus giving useful insights to academics, marketers and policy makers into the challenges facing consumers in their E-mobility adoption.

Managing Urban Mobility Systems
Urban mobility is currently a major problem all over the world.Space is limited, and individuals aim for a level of quality in mobility that is only achieved by largely motorised solutions, which have a detrimental effect on the urban environment.Careful analysis of urban mobility systems across the world reveals that consistent and effective policies can only be defined and implemented if the various components of the system and their interrelations are considered.This book addresses the problem of managing urban mobility systems in a novel way by considering the complexity and diversity of the conurbation and agents involved in a UMS, putting forward the evidence that urban mobility must be managed at system level.The value of this book lies in bringing together a sound theoretical approach to urban mobility systems supported by evidence from several cities across the world where this approach was either implemented or at least assessed, together with clear instructional guidelines.It constitutes a handbook for practitioners, politicians, researchers and students of urban mobility management.
