An Investigation of Women's and Men’s Perceptions and Meanings Associated with Food Risks
Concern about food risks is widespread. Consumers, however, are found to differ in terms of how they evaluate these risks. One of the most prominent findings in this regard is the differences between women and men. Many studies report that men are less worried about environmental and technological risks than women, which is also the case for food risks. At the same time it is criticized that these differences are often exaggerated, similarities overlooked, and systematic investigations are lacking. Andrea Bieberstein gives a comprehensive overview of theoretical approaches to risk perception and empirical work that has been conducted in the field of risk perception research. Furthermore, she provides a systematic investigation of how food risks are constructed for women and men by uncovering the meanings in terms of associations, feelings, and values that they attach to various food risks. This allows a deeper understanding of the gender differences in risk perception in terms of their relevance and meaning.
How to Feed the World
By 2050, we will have ten billion mouths to feed in a world profoundly altered by environmental change. How will we meet this challenge? In How to Feed the World, a diverse group of experts from Purdue University break down this crucial question by tackling big issues one-by-one. Covering population, water, land, climate change, technology, food systems, trade, food waste and loss, health, social buy-in, communication, and equal access to food, the book reveals a complex web of challenges. Contributors unite from different perspectives and disciplines, ranging from agronomy and hydrology to economics. The resulting collection is an accessible but wide-ranging look at the modern food system.
Grundbildung in der Lebenswelt verankern
Besser verstehen, selbstständiger entscheiden, mitgestalten - das wünschen sich gering literalisierte Erwachsene vor allem in ihrem Alltag. Aber wie lassen sich diese erreichen und zum besseren Lesen und Schreiben motivieren? Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Sammelbandes berichten über Alphabetisierungs- und Grundbildungsmaßnahmen, die sich an der Lebenswelt der Teilnehmenden orientieren: Kindererziehung, Gesundheit, Finanzen, Freizeitaktivitäten. Hier werden Menschen in ihrem gewohnten sozialen Umfeld und zu Alltagsthemen angesprochen. Wie das Konzept der aufsuchenden Bildung umgesetzt werden kann, wird in Erfahrungsberichten vorgestellt, die fünf Kapiteln zugeordnet sind: I Kooperation und Netzwerke, II Ansprache, Sensibilisierung und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit, III Lernsettings und Lernorte, IV Themenbezogene Grundbildung, V Qualifizierung, Professionalisierung und Verstetigung. Damit richtet sich der Sammelband an Praktiker:innen, Wissenschaftler:innen und Politiker:innen, die im Bereich der Erwachsenenbildung, Alphabetisierung und Grundbildung und der Sozialen Arbeit Entscheidungen treffen.
Neue Wege und Begegnungen in der Grundbildung und Grundbildungsforschung
Der Sammelband greift Forschungsfragen und -ansätze zur Grundbildung Erwachsener auf, die im Zuge der Alphadekade (2016-2026) entstanden sind. Damit gering literarisierte Jugendliche und Erwachsene in ihren Lebens- und Arbeitswelten erreicht werden können, müssen Ansprachekonzepte, Lernorte und -formate die Interessen und Lernbedürfnisse der Menschen berücksichtigen und stetig weiterentwickelt werden. Die Autorinnen und Autoren verbinden in ihren Beiträgen verschiedene Themen und Perspektiven mit Forschungsfragen zur Grundbildung. Dazu gehören Soziale Arbeit, Jugendberufshilfe, Subjektorientierung, Habitus- und Milieuforschung, Klassismus, Partizipation und Partizipationsforschung. Es werden neue Impulse für die Praxis abgeleitet.
The End of Genre
This book explores early new critical debates about intention, tracing how and why intention was dismissed across much humanities scholarship, and how it can be revisited and made relevant as a key formative, evaluative, and ethical concept. The author argues that the academic disinterest in intention occurred simultaneously as genre criticism and later the rhetorical interest in genre came into its own. Genre became a way to simultaneously elide and naturalize intention. The book elaborates on the pedagogical, ethical, and empirical consequences naturalizing intention through genre has had for rhetorical studies and it offers a new term, “curations” to identify discursive forms, actions...
Geological Storage of CO2 – Long Term Security Aspects
This book explores the industrial use of secure, permanent storage technologies for carbon dioxide (CO2), especially geological CO2 storage. Readers are invited to discover how this greenhouse gas could be spared from permanent release into the atmosphere through storage in deep rock formations. Themes explored here include CO2 reservoir management, caprock formation, bio-chemical processes and fluid migration. Particular attention is given to groundwater protection, the improvement of sensor technology, borehole seals and cement quality. A collaborative work by scientists and industrial partners, this volume presents original research, it investigates several aspects of innovative technolog...
Gods, Goddesses, and Images of God in Ancient Israel
Keel and Uehlinger's unique study brings the massive Palestinian archaeological evidence of 8,500 amulets and inscriptions to bear on these questions. Vindicating the use of symbols and visual remains to investigate ancient religion, the authors employ iconographic evidence from around 1750 B.C.E. through the Persian period (c. 333 B.C.E.) to reconstruct the emergence and development of the Yahweh cult in relation to its immediate neighbors and competitors. They also fully explore whether female characteristics were present in the early Yahweh figure and how they might have evolved in Israelite religion. Keel and Uehlinger's major study marks the maturation of iconographical studies and affords an exciting glimpse into the vibrant religious life of ancient Canaan and Israel.
Arguing with God
This is the first English translation of Bernd Janowski's incisive anthropological study of the Psalms, originally published in German in 2003 as Konfliktgespr_che mit Gott. Eine Anthropologie der Psalmen (Neukirchener). Janowski begins with an introduction to Old Testament anthropology, concentrating on themes of being forsaken by God, enmity, legal difficulties, and sickness. Each chapter defines a problem and considers it in relation to anthropological insights from related fields of study and a thematically relevant example from the Psalms, including how a central aspect of this Psalm is explored in other Old Testament or Ancient Near Eastern texts. Each chapter concludes with an "Anthropological Keyword," which explores especially important words and phrases in the Psalms. The book also includes reflections on reading the Psalms from a New Testament perspective, focusing on themes of transience, praising God, salvation from death, and trust in God. Janowski's study demonstrates how the Psalms have important theological implications and ultimately help us to understand what it means to be human.
The Atrocity of Hunger
During World War II, the Germans put the Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland into ghettos which restricted their movement and, most crucially for their survival, access to food. The Germans saw the Jews as 'useless eaters,' and denied them sufficient food for survival. The hunger which resulted from this intentional starvation impacted every aspect of Jewish life inside the ghettos. This book focuses on the Jews in the Łódź, Warsaw, and Kraków ghettos as they struggled to survive the deadly Nazi ghetto and, in particular, the genocidal famine conditions. Jews had no control over Nazi food policy but they attempted to survive the deadly conditions of Nazi ghettoization through a range of coping mechanisms and survival strategies. In this book, Helene Sinnreich explores their story, drawing from diaries and first-hand accounts of the victims and survivors. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
