{"product_id":"green-fair-and-prosperous-charles-connerly-9781609387204","title":"Green, Fair, and Prosperous: Paths to Sustainable Iowa","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the center of what was once the tallgrass prairie, Iowa has stood out for clearing the land and becoming one of the most productive agricultural states in the nation. But its success is challenged by multiple issues including but not limited to a decline in union representation of meatpacking workers; lack of demographic diversity; the advent of job-replacing mechanization; growing income inequality; negative contributions to and effects of climate change and environmental hazards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo become green, fair, and prosperous, Connerly argues that Iowa must reckon with its past and the fact that its farm economy continues to pollute waterways, while remaining utterly unprepared for climate change. Iowa must recognize ways in which it can bolster its residents' standard of living and move away from its demographic tradition of whiteness. For development to be sustainable, society must balance it with environmental protection and social justice. Connerly provides a crucial roadmap for how Iowans can move forward and achieve this balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Connerly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609387201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609387204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.60d","brand":"Charles Connerly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994532511999,"sku":"9781609387204","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c90de3b6-9e2f-469c-80c0-deb0daab1a9b.jpg?v=1683330713","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/green-fair-and-prosperous-charles-connerly-9781609387204","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
