The Radical Right During Crisis
While the COVID-19 pandemic overshadowed all else and would quickly have a lasting impact on our daily lives, other events related to the radical right in 2020 soon surfaced. From terrorist attacks in Germany and India to anti-mask protests across the U.S. and Europe, radical right violence escalated in the midst of circulating conspiracy theories and disinformation. The yearbook draws upon insightful analyses from an international network of scholars, policymakers, and practitioners who explore the dynamics and impact of the radical right. It explores a wide range of topics including reflections on authoritarianism and fascism, the role of ideology and (counter-)intellectuals, and radical-right responses to the pandemic and calls for police reform in the height of the Black Lives Matter protests. It ends with important assessments on best approaches towards countering the radical right, both online and offline. This timely overview provides a broad examination of the global radical right in 2020, which will be useful for scholars, students, policymakers, journalists, and the public.
The SAGE Encyclopedia of Abnormal and Clinical Psychology
Abnormal and clinical psychology courses are offered in psychology programs at universities worldwide, but the most recent major encyclopedia on the topic was published many years ago. Although general psychology handbooks and encyclopedias include essays on abnormal and clinical psychology, such works do not provide students with an accessible reference for understanding the full scope of the field. The SAGE Encyclopedia of Abnormal and Clinical Psychology, a 7-volume, A-Z work (print and electronic formats), will be such an authoritative work. Its more than 1,400 entries will provide information on fundamental approaches and theories, various mental health disorders, assessment tools and p...
Organizational water footprint – analyzing water use and mitigating water scarcity along global supply chains
Freshwater is a vital resource for humans and ecosystems but is scarce in many regions around the world. Organizations measure and manage direct water use at their premises but usually neglect the indirect water use associated with global supply chains – even though the latter can be higher by several orders of magnitude. As of 2015, there was no standardized life-cycle-based approach for analysing the water consumption of an organization. Against this background, the BMBF funded research project “Water Footprint for Organizations – Local Measures in Global Supply Chains (WELLE)” has been launched by TU Berlin, Evonik, German Copper Institute, Neoperl, thinkstep and Volkswagen. The p...
Benefits and Challenges of Ambiguous Product Information
We study the welfare effects of ambiguous product information for a buyer with alpha-max-min preferences and a price-setting seller. The buyer privately receives information about her valuation. We show that both can benefit when this information is ambiguous, and we characterize all possible combinations of consumer and producer surplus. Ambiguity concerning the valuation perceived by the buyer when making the purchase decision can induce the seller to change the price. Before receiving information, ambiguity concerning the purchase decision can make the buyer optimistic about buying only for high valuations, which relaxes the participation constraint. Our results inform the regulation of ambiguous product information.

Zingster reloaded
he objective of the project was to transform this large mono-functional housing estate into a sustainable, functionally diverse and socially blended urban district with innovative and sustainably organized technical infrastructure systems. The project brought together urban designers, landscape architects and architects as well as specialists in urban water management and energy. While the urban designers focused on differentiation and diversity, on the integration of workplaces and communicative uses, on problems of cautious densification and on a redefinition of public spaces, the architects were concerned with reconstruction measures and potential new uses, well-defined intervention in th...
Wasser, das Superelement
Obwohl die Erdoberfläche zu über 70 Prozent von Wasser bedeckt ist, steht der Menschheit nur ein knappes Prozent an Trinkwasser zur Verfügung. Die Prognosen sind wenig optimistisch: Bis zum Jahr 2025 sollen bis zu zwei Drittel der Menschheit direkt oder indirekt von der Wasserknappheit betroffen sein. Der Autor zeigt nicht nur Zusammenhänge auf, die zur ökologischen Krise führen, sondern gibt auch praktische Tipps eines nachhaltigeren Umgangs mit der Ressource Wasser. Dabei beantwortet das Buch unter anderem folgende Fragen: - Wie und was hilft mir, mit Wasser zuhause und in der Arbeit fit und vital zu bleiben? - Welches Wasser soll ich trinken? - Was macht Wasser zu einem wahren Superelement, das so vieles kann? - Ist das teuerste Mineralwasser für 50 000 Euro pro Flasche auch das Beste? - Warum erleben wir weltweit einen zunehmenden Mangel an sauberem und gesundem Trinkwasser?
Newtons Irrtum
Der Autor versucht einem weiten Bogen zu schlagen und lässt längst vergessene Zeitzeugen, Befürworter sowie Gegner Newtons in seinem Buch zu Wort kommen. Wissen Sie was ein Perpetuum Mobile wirklich ist? Der Autor erklärt an Hand einer Zeitreise die Entstehung des Phänomens Perpetuum Mobile und welche Auswirkungen die Suche nach selbigen auf die Wissenschaft hatte und noch immer hat. Wissen Sie was Gravitation wirklich ist? Niemand wird ernsthaft behaupten es zu wissen, wieso sollte wohl ausgerechnet Newton es gewusst haben? Der Autor lässt auch die Erkenntnisse von Viktor Schauberger und Ludwig Kaul in sein Werk mit einfließen und eröffnet so seinen Lesern völlig neue Horizonte.
