From Bombay to Bollywood analyzes the transformation of the national film industry in Bombay into a transnational and multi-media cultural enterprise, which has come to be known as Bollywood. Combining ethnographic, institutional, and textual analyses, Aswin Punathambekar explores how relations between state institutions, the Indian diaspora, circuits of capital, and new media technologies and industries have reconfigured the Bombay-based industry’s geographic reach. Providing in-depth accounts of the workings of media companies and media professionals, Punathambekar has produced a timely analysis of how a media industry in the postcolonial world has come to claim the global as its scale of operations. Based on extensive field research in India and the U.S., this book offers empirically-rich and theoretically-informed analyses of how the imaginations and practices of industry professionals give shape to the media worlds we inhabit and engage with. Moving beyond a focus on a single medium, Punathambekar develops a comparative and integrated approach that examines four different but interrelated media industries--film, television, marketing, and digital media. Offering a path-breaking account of media convergence in a non-Western context, Punathambekar’s transnational approach to understanding the formation of Bollywood is an innovative intervention into current debates on media industries, production cultures, and cultural globalization.

Swedish Design: A History provides a fascinating and comprehensive introduction to the development of design in Sweden from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twenty-first. Leading design historian Lasse Brunnström traces the move from artisanal crafts production to the mass production and consumption of designed objects, a process by which the role and profile of the designer became increasingly important. His survey, richly illustrated with images of the designed objects discussed, takes in forms of design traditionally associated with Sweden, such as household objects and textiles, while also considering some less-written about genres such as industrial and graphic design. Brunnström questions many established ideas about design in Sweden, notably its aesthetics and its relationship to Sweden's national and political culture. He argues that the history of design in Sweden has been far more complex and less straightforwardly 'blond' than hitherto understood.

In het klimaatakkoord komt maar liefst 182 keer het woord waterstof voor. Deze energiedrager lijkt dan ook een essentieel onderdeel te zijn van de energietransitie van fossiele brandstoffen naar duurzame energie. Waterstof kan worden ingezet als buffer om zonne-energie ‘s zomers op te slaan voor gebruik in de winter, het kan als alternatieve energiebron voor de industrie gebruikt worden in plaats van kolen, het gasnetwerk kan er onder voorwaarden mee overweg en auto's kunnen er op rijden. Toch zijn er nog heel wat knelpunten te overwinnen. Waterstof (H2) wordt al decennia gebruikt in de industrie. Dankzij gunstige eigenschappen kan het voor vrijwel alles worden ingezet en onbeperkt worden bewaard. In een ideaal scenario zou waterstof met hoog rendement kunnen worden geproduceerd door zonnepanelen bij de evenaar, waar de zon het hele jaar optimaal schijnt. Vanaf daar kan het via pijpleidingen of schepen (op waterstof) vervoerd worden naar ons land. Ook kan het in Nederland worden geproduceerd wanneer er sprake is overcapaciteit van duurzame energie. Het zou kunnen worden opgeslagen in speciale opslagtanks, maar ook in zoutkoepels en lege gasvelden. Maar waterstof komt niet uit de grond - zoals olie of gas - en moet geproduceerd worden. In de praktijk gebeurt dat vooral op basis van aardgas, waarbij CO2 vrij komt. Het kan ook duurzaam, via elektrolyse, maar dat kost veel energie vanwege verliezen. Er zijn veel extra windmolens nodig om in die energiebehoefte te voorzien. In theorie kan het bestaande aardgasnetwerk worden gebruikt om huishoudens van waterstofgas te voorzien, maar er zijn veel haken en ogen. Auto's, bussen en vrachtwagens kunnen rijden op waterstof, maar er bestaat vaak een rooskleurig beeld over snel tanken en lage kosten. De belangrijkste knelpunten hebben te maken met de productie, opslag en distributie van waterstof. Dit boek zet de feiten in begrijpelijke taal op een rij en bespreekt de (on)mogelijkheden, knelpunten, elektrolyse en efficiëntie, kosten, praktijkvoorbeelden én alternatieven.

In previous work, Gregory K. Dow created a broad and accessible overview of worker-controlled firms. In his new book, The Labor-Managed Firm: Theoretical Foundations, Dow provides the formal models that underpinned his earlier work, while developing promising new directions for economic research. Emphasizing that capital is alienable while labor is inalienable, Dow shows how this distinction, together with market imperfections, explains the rarity of labor-managed firms. This book uses modern microeconomics, exploits up-to-date empirical research, and constructs a unified theory that accounts for many facts about the behavior, performance, and design of labor-managed firms. With a large number of entirely new chapters, comprehensive updating of earlier material, a critique of the literature, and policy recommendations, here Dow presents the capstone work of his career, encompassing more than three decades of theoretical research.

Currently, adaptation policy for climate change prioritises economic and technological dimensions of governance and action. Now, Elaine Kelly brings continental theory into the conversation to explore the ethical dilemmas stemming from emerging global political crises of migration, displacement and communal relocation related to climate change.
