This book provides an interdisciplinary exploration of how the humanities, social sciences, and health sciences can contribute to addressing the pressing challenges of the Anthropocene. From climate change and biodiversity loss to environmental degradation and public health threats, the book examines the interconnected crises of our time and offers innovative frameworks for fostering sustainability, resilience, and equity. It highlights the cultural, ethical, and philosophical dimensions of these issues to underscore the importance of collaboration across disciplines to shape a just and sustainable future.
Key topics include the role of art, literature, and philosophy in raising environmental awareness, the impact of urban green spaces on social participation and health, and the integration of mental health into sustainability discussions.

Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
