International Space Station (Large Print)
This is an image of the ISS, a very large man-made satellite orbiting the Earth at a height of 350 kilometres. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The station is used mainly for scientific research and although originally built by Russia and America, it is now manned by representatives of fourteen nations. In the centre of the page are the modules used for living and scientific research. These are attached one to another and reach the top of the page with the topmost one used as a dock for the Space Shuttle. Two rectangular solar panels extend out to the left and right of the modules. Down the page from these is the main truss running across the page. This supports two much larger panels on the far left and right of the page. Just to the left of centre, on the main truss, there is the mobile servicing system, which runs on rails, has two robot arms and is used for various construction and servicing tasks. To give an idea of the size of the structure, a scale image of a person in a space suit (approximately 6 mm high) is shown at the top centre of the page, just to the left of the research modules. The space station is constantly being changed and added to, so this diagram can only give an approximate impression of its layout.

Just Transitions: Gender and Power in India’s Climate Politics (Routledge Studies in Gender and Environments)
This book turns critical feminist scrutiny on national climate policies in India and examines what transition might really mean for marginalized groups in the country. A vision of “just transitions” is increasingly being used by activists and groups to ensure that pathways towards sustainable futures are equitable and inclusive. Exploring this concept, this volume provides a feminist study of what it would take to ensure just transitions in India where gender, in relation to its interesting dimensions of power, is at the centre of analysis. With case studies on climate mitigation and adaptation from different parts of India, the book brings together academics, practitioners and policymakers who provide commentary on sectors including agriculture, forestry and renewables. Overall, the book has relevance far beyond India’s borders, as India’s attempt to deal with its diverse population makes it a key litmus test for countries seeking to transition against a backdrop of inequality both in the Global North and South. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate policy, gender studies, sustainable development and development studies more broadly.
