The environmentSeptember 2001Environmental Policies for Agricultural Pollution Control
by Edited by James S Shortle, David Abler
This book describes the environmental problems associated with agriculture, particularly the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers and the disposal of animal waste. These have become major policy issues in many countries, with the main polluting effect being on water quality. As with other types of pollution, significant reductions in agriculture's contribution to water pollution requires the application of either enforceable regulatory approaches or changes in the economic environment, so that farmers adopt environmentally-friendly production practices. Providing a review and guide to the policy options and their economic administrative and political merits, the reader can develop an understanding of these options and their merits in the emerging policy context. The principal focus is on the developed world, particularly North America and Europe. The book is aimed at advanced students, researchers and professionals in agricultural economics and policy, and environmental and pollution sciences.

May 1997Wittgenstein im Kontext der analytischen Philosophie
by Peter M. S. Hacker, Peter M. S. Hacker, Joachim Schulte
Von Wittgensteins Werk Philosophische Untersuchungen ausgehend, richtet Hacker den Blick zunächst zurück, um den Kontext der Entstehung dieser epochemachenden Schrift zu schildern, und anschließend nach vorn, um die Wirkung von Wittgensteins Werk zu erkünden. Der Rückblick beginnt mit der Zeit der Jahrhundertwende, den Schriften des deutschen Logikers Gottlob Frege einerseits und den Arbeiten der englischen Philosophen Bertrand Russell und G. E. Moore andererseits. Damit wird zugleich der für Wittgensteins Denken bestimmende geistesgeschichtliche Rahmen abgesteckt: die Welt der in Logik und Begriffsanalyse avanciertesten Denker der deutschen wie der britischen Kultur. Hackers vergleichende Betrachtung konzentriert sich sodann auf die Entwicklung des wissenschaftstheoretisch und logisch orientierten Wiener Kreises (Schlick, Carnap, Neurath u. a.) und der eher an erkenntnistheoretischen und psychologischen Themen interessierten Cambridge-Philosophie der Vorkriegszeit. Im Anschluß an eine darauf folgende mustergültige Darstellung der Philosophischen Untersuchungen zeichnet Hacker den Weg der neueren analytischen Philosophie nach und behandelt dabei Autoren wie Quine, Dummett und Davidson, die in der gegenwärtigen Diskussion den Ton angeben.

The ArtsMarch 2013Space and being in contemporary French cinema
by James S. Williams
This book brings together for the first time five French directors who have established themselves as among the most exciting and significant working today: Bruno Dumont, Robert Guédiguian, Laurent Cantet, Abdellatif Kechiche, and Claire Denis. Whatever their chosen habitats or shifting terrains, each of these highly distinctive auteurs has developed unique strategies of representation and framing that reflect a profound investment in the geophysical world. The book proposes that we think about cinematographic space in its many different forms simultaneously (screenspace, landscape, narrative space, soundscape, spectatorial space). Through a series of close and original readings of selected films, it posits a new 'space of the cinematic subject'. Accessible and wide-ranging, this volume opens up new areas of critical enquiry in the expanding interdisciplinary field of space studies. It will be of immediate interest to students and researchers working not only in film studies and film philosophy, but also in French/Francophone studies, postcolonial studies, gender and cultural studies.
