Biodiversity and the Law
How do we promote global economic development, while simultaneously preserving local biological and cultural diversity? This authoritative volume, written by leading legal experts and biological and social scientists from around the world, aims to address this question in all of its complexity. The first part of the book focuses on biodiversity and examines what we are losing, why and what is to be done. The second part addresses biotechnology and looks at whether it is part of the solution or part of the problem, or perhaps both. The third section examines traditional knowledge, explains what it is and how, if at all, it should be protected. The fourth and final part looks at ethnobotany and bioprospecting and offers practical lessons from the vast and diverse experiences of the contributors.
Blood and Village
At once a mystery of detection, a family history, and a rite of passage, Blood and Village traces the lives of the author's parents from the closing years of the 19th century in a small South German town to the New York neighborhoods where they raised their family. Why did they leave their bucolic village, the author asks, why them and so few others? In what sense did the village die after they left? And in having left, why did the village still have such a hold over them all their lives? In his search for some answers, the author delves into the social history of this Swabian village and describes his own return to its people, vineyards, pastures, and orchards. Along the way he ruminates on his father's World War I service and on his mother's trip back to the village in the turbulent summer of 1934, on his life in the 1940s and 1950s as a first-generation American, and on how the U.S. Navy and his research interests in physics brought him back to the village of his parents.
Graduate STEM Education for the 21st Century
The U.S. system of graduate education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) has served the nation and its science and engineering enterprise extremely well. Over the course of their education, graduate students become involved in advancing the frontiers of discovery, as well as in making significant contributions to the growth of the U.S. economy, its national security, and the health and well-being of its people. However, continuous, dramatic innovations in research methods and technologies, changes in the nature and availability of work, shifts in demographics, and expansions in the scope of occupations needing STEM expertise raise questions about how well the current...

Zum Feuer verdammt
Die abendl�ndische Hexenverfolgung gilt als Inbegriff von tausendfachem Justizmord, Frauendiskriminierung und Fanatismus. Um ihren komplexen Mechanismen und Hintergruenden auf die Spur zu kommen, hat sich in der modernen historischen Forschung die vergleichende Regionalstudie als besonders fruchtbar erwiesen: In einem klar abgegrenzten Raum k�nnen politische, rechtliche, wirtschaftliche, soziale und kulturelle, aber auch demographische und siedlungsgeographische Faktoren der Hexenverfolgung am intensivsten beleuchtet werden. Der vorliegende Band umfa�t drei solcher Studien zu suedwestdeutschen Territorien, die besonders markante Verfolgungen erlebten: Im vorder�sterreichischen Hohenb...
