Fighting the Banana Wars and Other Fairtrade Battles
"Forty per cent of households in Britain bought a Fairtrade product in the past year. Fifteen years ago very few did. What's behind this extraordinary trend? What difference does Fairtrade actually make for the poor farmers it aims to help? And are big companies really changing the way they do business because of Fairtrade? In Fighting the Banana WARs and Other Fairtrade Battles, international activist Harriet Lamb gives a revealing insider's account of the Fairtrade global movement. From bananas and coffee beans to cotton and footballs, Lamb describes the daring campaigns that have placed Fairtrade goods in the middle of the supermarket shelf, forcing retailing giants to change their policies. She explores the journey that the goods in our shopping trolleys make through an unjust system stacked against people in third-world countries. And she uncovers the shocking cost of our demand for cheaper and ever more 'perfect' food. iscover how Fairtrade has transformed the lives of over 1 million farmers, workers and their dependants, and what you can do to make the Fairtrade vision of a better world into a reality."

British and Irish Paintings in Public Collections
This book sets a new standard as a work of reference. It covers British and Irish art in public collections from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the end of the nineteenth, and it encompasses nearly 9,000 painters and 90,000 paintings in more than 1,700 separate collections. The book includes as well pictures that are now lost, some as a consequence of the Second World War and others because of de-accessioning, mostly from 1950 to about 1975 when Victorian art was out of fashion. By listing many tens of thousands of previously unpublished works, including around 13,000 which do not yet have any form of attribution, this book becomes a unique and indispensable work of reference, one that will transform the study of British and Irish painting.
The Handbook of Organic and Fair Trade Food Marketing
The markets for organic and fair trade food are growing rapidly. Although there are some important differences, both seek to address the consumer desire for “better” food: fair trade because it offers economically disadvantaged producers a better financial return; organic because it is perceived to be a more sustainable system delivering better-tasting, healthier and safer food than that produced by non-organic methods. The Handbook of Organic and Fair Trade Food Marketing provides a practical guide to successful marketing in these two dynamic sectors, underpinned by case-histories and lessons from companies that have been successful in these areas, including Green & Black's, Yeo Valley ...
Documentary as Exorcism
Documentary as Exorcism is an interdisciplinary study that builds upon the insights of postcolonial studies, critical race theory, theological and religious studies and media and film studies to showcase the role of documentary film as a system of signifying capable of registering complex theological ideas while pursuing the authentic aims of documentary filmmaking. Robert Beckford marries the concepts of 'theology as visual practice' and 'theology as political engagement' to develop a new mode of documentary filmmaking that embeds emancipation from oppression in its aesthetic. In various documentaries made for Channel 4 and the BBC, Beckford narrates the complicit relationship of Christiani...
