For more than a century, the medical profession has made enormous efforts to understand and treat women’s reproductive bodies. But only recently have researchers begun to ask basic questions about how men’s health matters for reproductive outcomes, from miscarriage to childhood illness. What explains this gap in knowledge, and what are its consequences? Rene Almeling examines the production, circulation, and reception of biomedical knowledge about men’s reproductive health. From a failed nineteenth-century effort to launch a medical specialty called andrology to the contemporary science of paternal effects, there has been a lack of attention to the importance of men’s age, health, and exposures. Analyzing historical documents, media messages, and qualitative interviews, GUYnecology demonstrates how this non-knowledge shapes reproductive politics today.
Since the First Edition of this book appeared, professors have praised its visual presentation of concepts, accessible writing style, and solid research-based scholarship. PSYCHOLOGY: THEMES AND VARIATIONS is about the ideas and concepts behind the research studies. His straightforward style gets students to contemplate open-ended questions, examine their assumptions, and apply psychological concepts to their own lives. Wayne Weiten surveys psychology's broad range of content with three aims: to illuminate the process of research and its intrinsic relationship to application; to show both the unity and diversity of the subject, and to invite students to the study of psychology by respecting ...
This volume of the Netherlands Yearbook of International Law explores the many faces of populism, and the different manifestations of the relationship between populism and international law. Rather than taking the so-called populist backlash against globalisation, international law and governance at face value, this volume aims to dig deeper and wonders ‘What backlash are we talking about, really?’. While populism is contextual and contingent on the society in which it arises and its relationship with international law and institutions thus has differed likewise, this volume assists in our examination of what we find so dangerous about populism and problematic in its relationship with international law. The Netherlands Yearbook of International Law was first published in 1970. It offers a forum for the publication of scholarly articles in a varying thematic area of public international law./div
Ein Großteil unserer Kinder ist krank. Sie leiden unter Allergien, Asthma, Bauch- und Kopfschmerzen. Sie sind übergewichtig, haben Diabetes oder eine Fettleber. Die Zähne von bis zu 30% unseres Nachwuchses bröckeln schon im Kindesalter und gesunde Augen haben immer weniger. Eine erschreckende Häufung von Verhaltensauffälligkeiten verhindert an vielen Schulen normal ablaufenden Unterricht. WARUM? Die Antwort ist einfach und doch sehr komplex: Die Versorgung von Nahrungsmitteln und Konsumgütern wird von globalen Konzernen gesteuert. Profite und nicht Gesundheit stehen im Vordergrund. Kitas und Schulen werden als Vertriebsnetz für gesundheitsschädigende Produkte genutzt. Die Rahmenbedingungen für diese dramatische Entwicklung haben die Ministerien für Gesundheit, Landwirtschaft und Ernährung geschaffen. Systematisch versorgen sie die Bevölkerung mit irreführenden Anweisungen, falschen Informationen und gesundheitsschädigenden Gesetzgebungen. Die Leidtragenden sind insbesondere unsere Kinder.
