Regulatory Issues in Organic Food Safety in the Asia Pacific
The book seeks to address the intersection of food organics and the emergence of a new contractualism between producers, distributors and consumers, and between nation states. Additionally, it seeks to cater to the needs of a discerning public concerned about how its own country aims to meet their demands for organic food quality and safety, as well as how they will benefit from integration in the standard-setting processes increasingly occurring regionally and internationally. This edited volume brings together expert scholars and practitioners and draws on their respective insights and experiences in the field of organics, food and health safety. The book is organized in three parts. Part I outlines certain international perspectives; Part II reflects upon relevant histories and influences and finally, Part III examines the organic food regulatory regime of various jurisdictions in the Asia Pacific.
Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky. Architecture. Politics. Gender.
A pioneer of architectural history Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky (1897–2000) entered the modernist canon with her “Frankfurt Kitchen.” She is also considered a pioneer of social architecture, a women’s rights activist, and, last but not least, a heroine of the resistance to the Nazi dictatorship. In this book, available in English for the first time, recent research in the fields of art history, contemporary history, pedagogy, and gender studies provides a nuanced picture of Schütte-Lihotzky, whose estate is archived at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. The volume explores her rich architectural oeuvre, her transnational experiences and professional networks, her political development as a Communist, and her current reception. It breaks through the mythology to present a rounded picture of Schütte-Lihotzky, an icon of architectural history. First comprehensive publication on Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky in English Cross-disciplinary research contributions by renowned authors; foreword by Juliet Kinchin Illuminates Schütte-Lihotzky’s fascinating work alongside the Frankfurt Kitchen

Leistung und Erschöpfung
Burnout ist ein Modethema, selbst »Burnout ist ein Modethema«-Artikel sind inzwischen in Mode. Dennoch wirft Burnout wichtige zeitdiagnostische Fragen auf, mit denen sich renommierte Sozialwissenschaftler wie Ulrich Bröckling, Rolf Haubl, Sighard Neckel und G.

Welche Rolle spielen Prominente, die sich »geoutet« haben? Und warum findet gerade das Bild des leeren Akkus solche Resonanz?
