Most books on the 1960s focus on large liberal organizations and reformist politics. This one is unabashedly devoted to the far left of the far left. The Rebel Worker was a mimeo'd magazine started by young members of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) in Chicago, 1964. Unlike the lily-white, upper- and middle-class New Left, the Rebel Worker group was multi-racial and workingclass. Their goals: to abolish wage-slavery and the state by means of direct action, collective creation, and solidarity. Inspired not only by the hobo wisdom of their Wob mentors, but also by surrealism, these young men and women also drew on a wide range of anti-capitalist thinkers as well as subversive currents in pop culture. In their view, making the Revolution and having a good time were not contradictory! While square critics derided them as "the left wing of the Beat Generation," The Rebel Worker and its sister journal Heatwave in London became well known for their highly original revolutionary perspective, innovative social/cultural criticism, and uninhibited class-war humor. Rejecting traditional left dogma, and proudly affirming the influence of Bugs Bunny and the Incredible Hulk, these playful rebels against work expanded the critique of Capital into a critique of daily life and developed a truly radical theory and practice, rooted in poetry, provocation, blues, jazz and the pleasure principle. Active in strikes, free-speech fights and other tumults, they also introduced countless readers to important writings by and about surrealists, situationists, IWWs, anarchists, libertarian Marxists, Provos, the Japanese Zengakuren, and other political/cultural revolutionary-minded individuals and movements from all over the world.

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are discrete warm-water anomalies events occurring in every ocean around the globe, in both coastal and open ocean, having major impacts on ecosystems, fisheries and aquaculture. Although processes leading to MHWs formation are becoming more and more studied since the beginning of the 2010s, the way they interact together to trigger MHWs remains not fully understood. Nevertheless, their link to human-induced global warming tends to be certain. The southern part of Chile (41°5’S - 56°S) is characterized by fjord ecosystems already experiencing global warming consequences, whether large-scale or local climate modifications. However, to the best of our knowledge, MHWs occurrence in Southern Chile has never been subject to studies, despite the fjord ecosystem’s vulnerability to climate warming. Therefore, we assessed a global analysis of the MHWs that have occurred between 1982 and 2020 along Central and South coastal Chile, from 29°S to 55°S. We found that the last decade was record-breaking in terms of duration, intensity and occurrence of MHWs. In 2016, succession of MHWs during austral autumn, winter and spring lead to the formation of the longest (148 days, almost 5 months) and most extreme events (2.25°C above the climatology) ever recorded along Chile between 1982 and 2020. Those events were due to the advection of warm-waters anomalies coming from the open ocean and combination of persisting high pressure system with lower winds having led to reduced heat transfer from the ocean to the atmosphere. In addition, a global context of positive phases of El Niño Southern Oscillation and Southern Annular Mode contributed to the MHWs formation. Les vagues de chaleur marine, ou marine heatwaves (MHWs), sont des évènements discrets caractérisés par des eaux anormalement chaudes. Elles se produisent dans tous les océans, que ce soit en milieu côtier ou en pleine mer, et impactent fortement les écosystèmes marins, mais également les pêcheries et l’aquaculture. Bien que les processus menant à la formation de tels évènements soient de plus en plus étudiés depuis le début des années 2010, les interactions qu’ils ont entre eux pour conduire à la formation de MHWs restent encore relativement méconnues. Il est cependant de plus en plus certain que les MHWs sont liées au réchauffement climatique anthropique. Le sud du Chili (41°5’S – 46°S) est constitué d’un ensemble de fjords où les conséquences du réchauffement climatique se font déjà ressentir, que ce soient des modifications climatiques à l’échelle locale ou régionale. Cependant, d’après nos connaissances, il n’y a jamais eu d’étude portant sur les MHWs dans cette région du monde. Par conséquent, nous avons réalisé une étude globale des MHWs qui se sont produites entre 1982 et 2020 le long des côtes du Centre et du Sud du Chili, de 29°S à 55°S. Nous avons trouvé que la dernière décennie a été marquée par des MHWs particulièrement longues et fortes, et qu’elles se sont produites en plus grand nombre. En 2016, plusieurs MHWs se sont succédées de l’automne jusqu’au printemps australs, conduisant à la formation de la plus longue MHW (148 jours) et de la plus extrême (2.25°C au-dessus de la climatologie). Ces MHWs se sont produits suite au transport près des côtes d’eaux anormalement chaudes en provenance du Pacifique extratropical, associées à des hautes pressions stationnaires et une réduction des vents conduisant à une diminution des échanges de chaleur entre l’océan et l’atmosphère, en partie liés à des phases positives de El Niño Southern Oscillation et du Southern Annular Mode.

The present book discusses three significant challenges of the built environment, namely regional and global climate change, vulnerability, and survivability under the changing climate. Synergies between local climate change, energy consumption of buildings and energy poverty, and health risks highlight the necessity to develop mitigation strategies to counterbalance overheating impacts. The studies presented here assess the underlying issues related to urban overheating. Further, the impacts of temperature extremes on the low-income population and increased morbidity and mortality have been discussed. The increasing intensity, duration, and frequency of heatwaves due to human-caused climate change is shown to affect underserved populations. Thus, housing policies on resident exposure to intra-urban heat have been assessed. Finally, opportunities to mitigate urban overheating have been proposed and discussed.

This book focuses on the up-to-date studies on the sustainability with changing climate and extremes. The main contributors discussed the changing climate and extreme events, as well as their impacts on natural and human dimension sustainability, including the incorporated social–ecologic and socioeconomic processes. Special attention is given to four main sections: natural disasters in agriculture; urban/rural ecosystem, tourism, and ecosystem service; extreme climate indices, and newly created dataset for climate change.
