Food and Climate Change without the hot air
Did you know that more than a quarter of the greenhouse-gas emissions that cause climate change come from food? In this ground-breaking and accessible book, Professor Sarah Bridle calculates the greenhouse gas emissions of a selection of our most popular meals and beverages, from a cup of tea and a bowl of cereal to spaghetti bolognese and chicken tikka masala. Breaking down different ingredients and cooking methods to reveal their environmental impact, she finds delicious and sustainable meal alternatives. With this knowledge, we can make a conscious effort to lower our emissions, such as eating more locally grown produce and introducing meat-free days, enabling us to help our planet while ...
Kirche im Klimawandel
Der rapide Wandel des Klimas wird wesentlich vom Menschen mitverursacht. Unser Einfluss ist so groß, dass normative Anpassung und Verhaltensänderung sich künftig auf Klima und Wetter auswirken. Im diesem Sinne sind entsprechende Maßnahmen auf institutioneller und individueller Ebene sinnvoll. Der Mensch bleibt dabei im Mittelpunkt und ist Ziel aller Schutzstrategien zur Vermeidung der schlimmsten Folgen des Klimawandels. Er nimmt seine Rolle als "Hüter der Schöpfung" in Verantwortung an. Die Katholische Kirche als eine der größten weltweit aktiven Einrichtungen kann in diesem Zusammenhang eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Dazu ist ihre Lehre in Fragen des Umwelt- und Klimaschutzes zu verbreiten und praktisch umzusetzen.

Principles for Designing Transdisciplinary Research
In the information or knowledge society, there is a need for transdisciplinary research, i.e. research that deals with complex life-world problems. Transdisciplinary projects aim to come up with practice-oriented solutions that serve what is perceived to be the common good. In order to achieve this, they transcend disciplinary boundaries and include the perspectives of public agencies, the business community and civil society in the research process. This process is therefore particularly challenging for those involved. This book is proposed by the transdisciplinarity-net, which is a project supported by the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences. It offers a means of designing transdisciplina...
History and Legacy of Isotype
Based on extensive archival research, this open access book provides a fresh perspective on the early history of Isotype and pictographic communication, with new information about largely unknown episodes throughout its development. The picture-script Isotype (International System of Typographic Picture Education), previously conceived as the Vienna Method of Pictorial Statistics, evolved through numerous publications and exhibitions in the early 20th century. Christopher Burke and Günther Sandner trace how its development responded to differing cultural and political climates, through a period when the idea of a universal language – an artificial or planned language – was linked to ide...
