Scare, scandal and crisis - insights into the risk politics of food safety
by Ed Randall
This is a book about the risk politics of food safety. Food-related risks regularly grab the headlines in ways that threaten reasoned debate and obstruct sensible policy making. In this book, Ed Randall explains why this is the case. He goes on to make the case for a properly informed and fully open public debate about food safety issues. He argues that this is the true antidote to the politics of scare, scandal and crisis. The book skilfully weaves together the many different threads of food safety and risk politics and offers a particularly rewarding read for academics and students in the fields of politics and media studies. It will also appeal to scholars from other disciplines, particularly social psychology and the food sciences. The book is a lively and exceptionally readable account of food safety and risk politics that will engage policy makers and the general reader. It promises to help us all manage food safety issues more intelligently and successfully. ;

2019Why ADHD is Not a Disease
A polemic
by Amrei Wittwer
In some European countries, one in four children is now diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder) due to their socially disruptive behaviour. The treatment usually consists of suppressing the symptoms with psychostimulants such as Ritalin. This treatment does not improve school performance, but it curbs the children’s creativity and may stigmatise them for their entire lives. Taking an opposing viewpoint, ADHD expert Dr. Amrei Wittwer focuses on the physical and psychological well-being of the affected children. Because almost all “ADHD patients“ are facing difficulties in relationships with adults, she considers that a solution begins with the children’s domestic and school environments, instruction of parents and teachers, and by using therapeutic approaches rather than simply sedating the children. “Children are our future”, is a common theme in Sunday speeches. Anyone who takes this point seriously, whether or not they themselves are immediately affected, should think about this important topic.

Itzik Manger – ein europäischer Dichter
by Efrat Gal-Ed
Die Biographie eines der größten Dichter jiddischer Sprache (weltweit die erste umfassende überhaupt) ist nach Inhalt und Form außergewöhnlich. Die Lebensgeschichte des Itzik Manger (1901 – 1969) wird verschränkt mit einer lebendigen Schilderung der jiddisch-säkularen Kultur Osteuropas zwischen den Weltkriegen. Und passend orientiert sich die Texteinrichtung durch die Autorin an der Seitengestaltung des Talmud: mit erzählendem Haupttext, Abbildungen und erläuternden Seitentexten. „In Mangers Lebens- und Schaffensgeschichte verkörpern sich Entwicklung und Reichtum der jiddischen Kultur bis 1939, ihre Zerstörung und der tragische Bruch, den die Shoah hinterlassen hat. Mangers Werk entspringt dem jüdischen Osteuropa mit seinen rumänischen, galizischen, polnischen und baltischen Landschaften, in denen seit der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts eine jiddisch-säkulare Kultur sich rasch entfaltete … Itzik Manger zog es, wie die meisten seiner Kollegen, nach Warschau, weil man dort auf unterschiedlichste Weise jiddisch denken, leben und schöpferisch tätig sein konnte. Sie dachten Europa jenseits des Gegensatzes von Eigenkultur und Fremdkultur … Im zunehmend nationalistischen und antisemitischen Polen war das jiddische Europa ein kosmopolitischer Entwurf, ein imaginierter, herbeigeschriebener Ort, an dem jiddisches Leben beheimatet war.“
