Handbook of Settings-Based Health Promotion
This book's central focus is to provide academics, students, policy-makers, and practitioners with a unique insight into a wide variety of perspectives on settings-based health promotion. It offers clarity amidst different interpretations and ideological understandings of what applying a settings-based approach means. Emphasis is given to a salutogenic focus, exploring how the creation of wellbeing and fostering of potential in settings to best enable individuals and populations to flourish implies that the setting itself must be the entry point for health promotion. Building on this, the text explores how the settings approach to health promotion strives for changes in the structure and eth...

The Promise of Multispecies Justice
What are the possibilities for multispecies justice? How do social justice struggles intersect with the lives of animals, plants, and other creatures? Leading thinkers in anthropology, geography, philosophy, speculative fiction, poetry, and contemporary art answer these questions from diverse grounded locations. In America, Indigenous peoples and prisoners are decolonizing multispecies relations in unceded territory and carceral landscapes. Small justices are emerging in Tanzanian markets, near banana plantations in the Philippines, and in abandoned buildings of Azerbaijan as people navigate relations with feral dogs, weeds, rats, and pesticides. Conflicts over rights of nature are intensify...
榮歸君國：香港戰役中的加拿大軍團
2015年，香港特區政府發表《人口政策：策略與措施》報告，統計自1980年以來，約有八十萬香港人移居外地，而加拿大是香港人熱門移民地點之一。兩地雖然隔着遼闊的太平洋，但早在十九世紀末已有頻繁的人員往來。第二次世界大戰讓兩地關係更為密切，成為命運共同體，因為兩地民眾要面對共同的敵人。1941年11月，接近二千名加拿大官兵，在羅遜准將帶領下乘船抵達香港，他們的任務是協助駐港英軍抵擋日軍。十八天激烈戰鬥，造成了二百九十名加拿大官兵陣亡，其中包括羅遜准將。今天，他們仍長眠於香港西灣國殤紀念墳場與赤柱軍人墳場。本書不只是重塑加拿大官兵如何被牽扯進香港戰役，更關注戰爭結束後生還的加拿大官兵的生活，從而闡述戰爭對軍人所造成的身體上和心理上的創傷。
Where's Michelle?
Other than the fact he was English, Julie Leighton knew nothing about her husband. Then he died and Julie received a call inviting her and her nine-year old daughter, Michelle, to visit his parents in England. Shortly after their plane landed at Heathrow, Michelle disappeared. Posing as a fellow passenger to gain Julie's confidence, Detective Inspector Simon Winter offers to help find Michelle. In actual fact, Simon works for a special undercover unit formed to protect members of the British government from harm, and he's had Julie under surveillance from the moment her plane landed. According to information received by Scotland Yard, Julie's late husband was blackmailing a prominent British politician and they believe Julie intends to pick up where her husband left off.
Die Wurzeln des Glücks
Die Natur versetzt uns in Staunen. Sie inspiriert, spendet Erholung, nimmt uns Stress. Was der Mensch immer schon tief in sich spürt, wird heute auch von faszinierender Forschung belegt. Vom norwegischen Spitzbergen über die Urwälder Polens bis Kalifornien hat Jones eine neue Welt der Wissenschaft bereist, in der erforscht wird, wie die Natur unsere Psyche schützt - warum Dreck essen wirklich gesund ist, weshalb der Anblick natürlicher Formen unser Glücksgefühl beeinflusst und wie wir unsere Innenwelt friedlicher und erfüllter machen, indem wir mehr draußen sind. Gegen "Erlebnisarmut" und "ökologische Trauer": warum Naturschutz auch Selbstschutz bedeutet Wilde Wissenschaft: Wie wir in der Natur unsere psychische Gesundheit verbessern, Kraft schöpfen und Glück finden können.
Perdiendo el Edén
Hoy, más que nunca, vivimos confinados en espacios interiores. Según las estadísticas, pasamos hasta un 90 por ciento de nuestra vida entre cuatro paredes, totalmente desconectados de la naturaleza. No obstante, esta sigue estando profundamente enraizada en nuestro lenguaje, nuestras tradiciones y nuestra conciencia. Durante siglos, las sociedades se han guiado por la intuición de que vivir en armonía con el entorno es fundamental para el ser humano. En pleno siglo XXI, coincidiendo con nuestro alejamiento de la naturaleza, ha empezado a emerger un fascinante campo de investigación científica que confirma esta intuición ancestral y demuestra la importancia del contacto con la natural...
