Plastics In Everyday Life
The purpose of this Little Book is to provide a holistic but condensed overview of the key aspects of plastics as they are produced, con- sumed and disposed of in contemporary consumer culture. We centre attention not just on the materiality of plastics but also on their meanings and how they come to be experienced and lived with in daily life.
Design Policy For Net Zero
This Little Book explains what net zero carbon policies are, and why these policies need to ensure that all of society is included in their design. It also includes suggestions for designing equitable net-carbon zero policies.
Societal Readiness
This Little Book tells you about research on social and ethical aspects of innovation for a low carbon mobility transformation
