"This book takes a behind-the-scenes look at the world of Third Wave coffee to uncover what makes a great coffee. Traders stress the material conditions of terroir and botany, but just as important are the social, moral, and political values that farmers, roasters, and consumers attach to the beans. Third Wave roasters earnestly pursue a craft, searching for new flavors, while smallholding Maya farmers in Guatemala see coffee as part of a cycle of agricultural regeneration, as well as a source of extra income. This book connects the quest for quality among Third Wave tastemakers in the United States to the lives and internet-fueled aspirations of Maya producers, showing how profits are made by artfully combining coffee's material and symbolic qualities"--
Theory of Mind (ToM) or mentalization is the ability to understand and foresee the behavior referring to one’s own and others’ mental states (Premack & Woodruff, 1978; Wimmer & Perner, 1983). This capacity, which is considered the most representative mechanism of social cognition, is a multifaceted set of competences liable to influence – and be influenced by – a manifold of psychosocial aspects. Studies on typical and atypical/clinical development during life showed that ToM is frequently delayed (e.g. in deafness) or impaired in many clinical conditions (e.g. Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Schizophrenia, Borderline Personality Disorder, Parkinso...
"How we taste and eat is just as central in a civilization perspective as what we know and think. Meal communities are important contributors to the creation of a community of opinions based on sense, emotion and taste. This is the reason for writing Teaching Taste. The historical part analyses Danish children's cookbooks. When did the view of taste change from a norm that was met to a sense and ability that everyone, including children, possesses? The systematic part identifies seven dimensions of taste: pleasant taste, healthy taste, sensed taste, moral taste, religious taste, loving taste and trendy taste and how to teach them. The didactic part answers how can we teach about, through and for taste. The book is written for teachers, trainee teachers and students on courses in Home Economics, Food Knowledge and Food Education. The book ends with a ready-to-use teaching handout"--
Food and the systems that produce, disrupt, prepare it are central to all human life. Yet, scholarly analysis of the food systems that support human life are highly fragmented across a variety of disciplines. Public administration, with its focus on the doing of public policy, would seem to be a logical home for analysis of food systems in action. However, food is largely ignored by public administration scholars, and scholars from other disciplines can unintentionally draw up established public administration literature. The chapters in this edited volume highlight where the lenses and languages of public administration can and should be used to analyze food systems. Viewed collectively, the editors argue that the lenses and languages of public administration can and should become a common ground for scholars and practitioners to discuss food systems.

I bogen prAesenteres de forste resultater fra et forsknings- og udviklingsprojekt med sundhedsplejen i Kobenhavns Kommune. VAegten lAegges pa at beskrive og analysere de dominerende vAerdier og problemstillinger, der hersker inden for skolesundhedsplejen. Malet er at giveen klarere beskrivelse af sundhedsplejens vAerdigrundlag. Bogen konkluderer bl.a., at den traditionelle modstilling mellem sundhedsfremme og forebyggelse er ufrugtbar og ude af trit med praksis, og at der inden for begge omrader er behov deltagerorienterede processer og ekspertviden. Endvidere beskrives malgruppe-deltagelse som fundamentalt element i sundhedsplejens vAerdigrundlag, og det dokumenteres, hvordan deltagelse kan forstas, beskrives og anvendes i forskellige former inden for arbejdet med skolesundhedsplejen. Denne forste fase folges op af en nAeste fase, hvor en rAekke nye principper og strategier udvikles, afproves og dokumenteres.
Alle faggrupper, der arbejder med pædagogik, har interesse i at vide, om det, de gør, virker efter hensigten. Derfor er der talrige eksempler på forskning, der undersøger effekter af pædagogiske indsatser. Men det er ikke helt så ligetil, som det lyder. Der er stort set aldrig et 1:1 forhold mellem pædagogisk intervention og effekt. I Kausalitet og effektfuldhed viser forfatterne, at traditionelle undersøgelser af årsag og virkning ofte undervurderer den kompleksitet, som eksempelvis læreren møder i klasseværelset. Derfor erstatter de begrebet effekt med effektfuldhed og introducerer en anden og mere kompleks forståelse af begrebet kausalitet. Bogen beskriver de videnskabsteoretiske og metodiske overvejelser bag undersøgelser af kausalitet og effektfuldhed i pædagogiske sammenhænge og præsenterer en række konkrete undersøgelsesdesign, som kan inspirere studerende, undervisere og forskere, der interesserer sig for effektfuldhed i deres arbejde.
