“Informed, utterly blindsiding account.” - Booklist, starred review It’s falling from the sky and in the air we breathe. It’s in our food, our clothes, and our homes. It’s microplastic and it’s everywhere—including our own bodies. Scientists are just beginning to discover how these tiny particles threaten health, but the studies are alarming. In A Poison Like No Other, Matt Simon reveals a whole new dimension to the plastic crisis, one even more disturbing than plastic bottles washing up on shores and grocery bags dumped in landfills. Dealing with discarded plastic is bad enough, but when it starts to break down, the real trouble begins. The very thing that makes plastic so use...

Hollowed Out

For the past several decades, politicians and economists thought that high levels of inequality were good for the economy. But because America’s middle class is now so weak, the US economy suffers from the kinds of problems that plague less-developed countries. As Hollowed Out explains, to have strong, sustainable growth, the economy needs to work for everyone and expand from the middle out. This new thinking has the potential to supplant trickle-down economics—the theory that was so wrong about inequality and our economy—and shape economic policymaking for generations.

Diese Arbeit analysiert Nationale Aktionspläne für Wirtschaft und Menschenrechte als bedeutsamen Schritt in der Entwicklung unternehmerischer Menschenrechtsverantwortung. Angeleitet vom diskursiven Institutionalismus und gerahmt von einer Interpretation des Politikfeldes als Wettbewerb konkurrierender Ideen wird am Beispiel von Schweden und Deutschland detailliert der Einfluss staatlicher und nichtstaatlicher Akteure im Politikprozess beleuchtet und aufgezeigt, unter welchen Bedingungen unternehmerische Menschenrechtsverantwortung größere Verbindlichkeit gewinnt. Die Studie leistet theoretisch und empirisch einen innovativen Beitrag zur politikwissenschaftlichen Menschenrechtsforschung.

Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2023

Available online: https://pub.norden.org/nord2023-003/ The Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR) constitute the scientific basis for national dietary guidelines and nutrient recommendations in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The NNR2023 is the result of five years of work of several hundred researchers and experts, in the Nordic cooperation’s biggest and most globally spread project. This sixth edition of the NNR gives, for the first time ever, recommendations not only about what food is good for our health, but also what is good for the environment. In addition, dietary reference values for nutrients have been updated, many nutrients have received reference values for the first time, and many more food groups have been analysed than in previous editions – turning NNR2023 into the most comprehensive NNR to date. In short, the NNR2023 recommends: A predominantly plant-based diet high in vegetables, fruits, berries, pulses, potatoes and whole grains. Ample intake of fish and nuts. Moderate intake of low-fat dairy products. Limited intake of red meat and poultry. Minimal intake of processed meat, alcohol, and processed foods containing high amounts of fats, salt and sugar.
