Foodscapes
Since the mid-1990s, the term 'foodscapes' has been used. Its reference to landscape opens it up to a wide theoretical variety and numerous methodological approaches. Through the large 'semantic yard' of the concept of landscape it becomes clear that the approach of foodscapes aims less at the description or pure positivistic analysis of the production, distribution and consumption of food, but is rather open to aesthetic approaches, normative questions, aspects of the connection of food and space with meaning. In this respect, research on foodscapes is not simply a part of food geography but reaches beyond it. With this anthology we contribute to the development of the research field on foodscapes and combine diverse perspectives from different disciplines, locations and theoretical as well as methodological backgrounds on the diversity of what foodscapes can be. Our anthology 'Foodscapes - Theory, History, and Current European Examples' is the result of the collaboration of lecturers and students from the universities of Bucharest, Madrid, Rome and Tübingen.
Between the Sacred and the Worldly
This groundbreaking work argues that the seminal concept of recogimiento functioned as a metaphor for the colonial relationship between Spain and Lima. Ubiquitous and flexible, recogimiento had three related meanings—two cultural and one institutional—that developed over a 200-year period in Renaissance Spain and the viceregal capital, Lima. Female and male religious conceptualized recogimiento as a mystical praxis that aspired toward "union" with God, and it was also articulated as a fundamental virtue of enclosure and quiescent conduct for women. As an institutional practice, recogimiento involved substantial numbers of women and girls living in convents, lay pious houses, schools, and...
New and Future Developments in Catalysis
New and Future Developments in Catalysis is a package of seven books that compile the latest ideas concerning alternate and renewable energy sources and the role that catalysis plays in converting new renewable feedstock into biofuels and biochemicals. Both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts and catalytic processes will be discussed in a unified and comprehensive approach. There will be extensive cross-referencing within all volumes.The use of catalysts in the nanoscale offers various advantages (increased efficiency and less byproducts), and these are discussed in this volume along with the various catalytic processes using nanoparticles. However, this is not without any risks and the ...
Private Passions and Public Sins
A Peruvian scholar focuses on the cultural significance of illicit sexual practices in seventeenth-century Lima.
Death and Gender in the Early Modern Period
IIn premodern Europe, the gender identity of those waiting for Doomsday in their tombs could be reaffirmed, readjusted, or even neutralized. Testimonies of this renegotiation of gender at the encounter with death is detectable in wills, letters envisioning oneself as dead, literary narratives, provisions for burial and memorialization, the laws for the disposal of those executed for heinous crimes and the treatment of human remains as relics.
Heterogeneous Photocatalysis
The series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents critical reviews from the journal Topics in Current Chemistry organized in topical volumes. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience. Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments o...
Nano-Antimicrobials
There is a high demand for antimicrobials for the treatment of new and emerging microbial diseases. In particular, microbes developing multidrug resistance have created a pressing need to search for a new generation of antimicrobial agents, which are effective, safe and can be used for the cure of multidrug-resistant microbial infections. Nano-antimicrobials offer effective solutions for these challenges; the details of these new technologies are presented here. The book includes chapters by an international team of experts. Chemical, physical, electrochemical, photochemical and mechanical methods of synthesis are covered. Moreover, biological synthesis using microbes, an option that is both eco-friendly and economically viable, is presented. The antimicrobial potential of different nanoparticles is also covered, bioactivity mechanisms are elaborated on, and several applications are reviewed in separate sections. Lastly, the toxicology of nano-antimicrobials is briefly assessed.

Estudios jurídicos sobre seguridad alimentaria
Este libro reúne un conjunto de trabajos sobre aspectos organizativos, procedimentales y sustantivos del régimen jurídico de la seguridad alimentaria en el ámbito europeo y español. El Libro Blanco de la Comisión Europea, de 12 de enero de 2000, sobre Seguridad Alimentaria, se basa en una concepción integrada que toma en consideración todas las fases, desde la producción primaria hasta la venta o el suministro de alimentos al consumidor, es decir, «desde la granja a la mesa» (from farm to fork). El producto normativo más importante de esta concepción integrada fue el Reglamento (CE) 178/2002, de 28 de enero, por el que se establecen los principios y requisitos generales de la legislación alimentaria, se crea la Autoridad Europea de Seguridad Alimentaria y se fijan los procedimientos correspondientes. Las decisiones comunitarias en la materia se toman, a partir de este Reglamento, con base en el análisis del riesgo, un concepto esencial de la política de seguridad alimentaria, junto con la trazabilidad y la aplicación del principio de precaución.
Die Europäisierung der Verwaltungsverfahrensgesetze in Deutschland und Spanien
Das Recht der Europaischen Union nimmt vielfach Einfluss auf nationale Gesetze, besonders im Verwaltungsverfahrensrecht. Timotheus Muller untersucht, wie der Gesetzgeber in Deutschland und Spanien mit dieser Herausforderung fur Dogmatik und Systematik umgeht. Aus dem Vergleich der beiden traditionsreichen Verwaltungsrechtsordnungen gewinnt er Erkenntnisse zu grundsatzlichen Fragen der Europaisierung und zur Zukunft nationaler Kodifikationen. Behandelt werden dabei sowohl aktuelle Themen wie E-Government, bessere Rechtsetzung oder gute Verwaltung als auch "Klassiker" des Verwaltungsverfahrensrechts. So konnen anhand konkreter Einzelpunkte Entwicklungsperspektiven aufgezeigt und Reformvorschlage entwickelt werden. Ziel ist dabei die Erarbeitung konkreter Perspektiven fur verbundkompatible und strukturwahrend-adaptive Kodifikationen des Verwaltungsverfahrensrechts auf der Hohe der Zeit.
