Create Your Own Photo Book
These days, photographs live on hard drives and DVDs in the company of several thousand other images, coming to light on a computer screen only for a short moment, if ever. In that respect our computer is a one-image-at-a-time exhibition of our photographic work.

Ausflug in die Agrarlandschaft
Das Buch illustriert und beschreibt auf ästhetische Weise nicht nur, was wir in der Agrarlandschaft sehen, sondern auch Trends und Zusammenhänge, die wir nicht sehen. Der vielleicht beste dritte Teil beschäftigt sich auf gleiche Weise mit dem, was wir sehen könnten. Wie realistisch diese Möglichkeiten schon sind, wird in Beispielen deutlich, die das Buch abrunden. Begeben Sie sich mit dieser kleinen Lektüre mit ihren vielen Fotos und erläuternden Abbildungen auf einen Ausflug in die Agrarlandschaft. Die vielen Zitat-Quellen können zum Vertiefen und Weiterlesen genutzt werden. Ganz nebenbei schärfen Sie beim Lesen Ihren Blick für aktuelle und kommende Debatten über die Zukunft der Landwirtschaft in Zeiten des Klimawandels und des Artenverlustes.
Stakeholders
This unique study from the OECD Development Centre presents a comprehensive review by independent experts of the relationships and division of responsibility between the 22 member governments of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), and NGOs from these donor countries, working in international development. Additional chapters cover the roles of the European Union and the World Bank. Among other themes, the book looks at two very significant issues. First, at the way in which an overemphasis on evaluation may be leading NGOs to focus purely on measuring their output, thus choosing activities which are easily accountable. Second, it examines the important impacts of the evolution in the funding relationship between governments and NGOs - from matching grants to contracts - where NGOs must increasingly compete for contracts.
