In early Christianity it was established that every church should have a light burning on the altar at all times. In this unique study, Eternal light and earthly concerns, looks at the material and social consequences of maintaining these 'eternal' lights. It investigates how the cost of lighting was met across western Europe throughout the whole of the Middle Ages, revealing the social organisation that was built up around maintaining the lights in the belief that burning them reduced the time spent in Purgatory. When that belief collapsed in the Reformation the eternal lights were summarily extinguished. The history of the lights thus offers not only a new account of change in medieval Europe, but also a sustained examination of the relationship between materiality and belief.

Die Hunger Games als Hörbuch. In einer nicht näher definierten Zukunft, nachdem Nordamerika durch Kriege und Naturkatastrophen zerstört wurde, entstand die diktatorische Nation Panem, bestehend aus dem regierenden reichen Kapitol und 13 ärmeren Distrikten. Nicht zufällig erinnert Panem an Panem et circenses, lateinisch für Brot und Spiele, aus römischen Zeiten: Auch hier sollen Tribute wie damals Gladiatoren das Volk belustigen. Eine von ihnen ist die 16-jährige Katniss Everdeen, die anstelle ihrer jüngeren Schwester bei den Hungerspielen im Kapitol von Panem antritt und um ihr Leben kämpfen muss. Als ihr Mitstreiter Peeta ihr seine Liebe gesteht, wird die Sache noch schwieriger, denn am Ende darf es nur einen Sieger geben. Wird es ihnen gelingen, das Kapitol zu überlisten und beide zu überleben? Der packende dystopische Bestseller ist erzählt aus der Perspektive von Katniss – und was sie denkt und fühlt, ihr innerer Monolog, steht in starkem Kontrast zu dem spektakulären, grausamen Ereignissen in Panem … Mögen die tödlichen Spiele neu beginnen … - Der erste Teil der Erfolgstrilogie von Bestseller-Autorin Suzanne Collins gelesen von Maria Koschny - Auftakt der Ausnahme-Fantasy-Dystopie - Ausgezeichnet mit dem Deutschen Jugendliteraturpreis (Preis der Jugendjury). - Bekannt als Kino-Blockbuster mit Jennifer Lawrence in der Hauptrolle.

RNA interference (RNAi) has the potential to make major contributions towards sustainable crop production and protection with minimal environmental impacts compared to other technologies. RNAi is being developed and exploited both within plants (i.e. host-induced gene silencing, HIGS) and/or as topical applications (e.g. spray-induced gene silencing, SIGS) for targeting pest and pathogen genes and for manipulating endogenous gene expression in plants. Chapters by international experts review current knowledge on RNAi, methods for developing RNAi systems in GM plants and applications for crop improvement, crop production and crop protection. Chapters examine both endogenous systems in GM plants and exogenous systems where interfering RNAs are applied to target plants, pests and pathogens. The biosafety of these different systems is examined and methods for risk assessment for food, feed and environmental safety are discussed. Finally, aspects of the regulation of technologies exploiting RNAi and the socio-economic impacts of RNAi technologies are discussed.

In the wake of 9/11, the Asian crisis and the 2004 tsunami, traditional analytical frameworks are increasingly unable to explain how individuals and communities are rendered insecure, or advance individual, global or environmental security. In the Asia-Pacific, the accepted wisdom of realism has meant that analyses rarely move beyond the statist, militarist and exclusionary assumptions that underpin traditional realpolitik. This innovative new book challenges these limitations and addresses the missing problems, people and vulnerabilities of the Asia-Pacific region. It also turns a critical eye on traditional interstate strategic dynamics. Critical security in the Asia-Pacific applies both a critical theoretical approach that interrogates the deeper assumptions underpinning security discourses, and a human-centred policy approach that focuses on the security, welfare and emancipation of individuals and communities. Leading Asia-Pacific researchers combine to apply these frameworks to the most pressing issues in the region, from the Korean peninsula to environmental change, Indonesian conflict, the 'war on terror' and the plight of refugees. The result is a sophisticated and accessible account of often-neglected realities of marginalization in the region, and a compelling argument for the empowerment and security of the most vulnerable.

The book focuses on people who, in addition to their gainful employment, are also responsible for caring for sick, impaired, or very old relatives - in other words, “work & care”. This topic is at the intersection of two scarce resources - the private unpaid care potential for loved ones on the one hand and the employment potential of family members on the other. The author examines what the professional, operational, and political consequences are for nursing science and practice as well as for service providers and payers. She makes suggestions for the development of personal, family, and organizational compatibility competence on the levels of action time-out and regeneration, knowledge and empowerment, coordination and organization, exchange and accompaniment. Finally, she offers options for action for nursing science and sheds light on the field of activity of scientific policy advice.

Gateway communities that neighbour parks and protected areas are impacted by tourism, while facing unique circumstances related to protected area management. Economic dependency remains a serious challenge for these communities, especially in a climate of neoliberalism, top-down policy environments, and park closures related to environmental degradation or government budgets. The collection of works in this edited book provide bottom-up, informed, and nuanced approaches to tourism management using local experiences from gateway communities and protected areas management emerging from a decade of guidelines, rulemaking, and exclusive decision-making. Global perspectives are presented and contextualized at the local level of gateway communities in an attempt to balance nature, community, and commerce, while supporting the triple bottom line of sustainable tourism. While anticipating a post-COVID 19 global shift, readers are encouraged to think through transformation and resiliency in regard to how the flux of supply vs demand alters gateway community perspectives on tourism. Specific features of this book include: · Focus on transformations, which provides insight into the complex and dynamic nature of gateway communities. · Multidisciplinary, multi-cultural insights into protected area management. · Applied and conceptual chapters from global perspectives.
