        Global Urban Agriculture

        by Antoinette M.G.A. WinklerPrins

        There has been growing attention paid to urban agriculture worldwide because of its role in making cities more environmentaly sustainable while also contributing to enhanced food access and social justice. This edited volume brings together current research and case studies concerning urban agriculture from both the Global North and the Global South. Its objective is to help bridge the long-standing divide between discussion of urban agriculture in the Global North and the Global South and to demonstrate that today there are greater areas of overlap than there are differences both theoretically and substantively, and that research in either area can help inform research in the other. The book covers the nature of urban agriculture and how it supports livelihoods, provides ecosystem services, and community development. It also considers urban agriculture and social capital, networks, and agro-biodiversity conservation. Concepts such as sustainability, resilience, adaptation and community, and the value of urban agriculture as a recreational resource are explored. It also examines, quite fundamentally, why people farm in the city and how urban agriculture can contribute to more sustainable cities in both the Global North and the Global South. Key Features: · One of the first volumes to bring together evidence from urban agriculture in the Global North and the Global South · Explores the contribution of urban agriculture to livelihoods, ecosystems and conservation · Numerous case studies examine a very diverse range of urban agriculture systems ; Urban agriculture is crucial to the environmental sustainability of cities, but the issues facing cities in the global north and south have been seen as unlinked. This book brings together evidence from both areas to highlight the interconnectedness and the contribution to social justice. ; 1: Defining and Theorizing Global Urban Agriculture2: A View from the South: Bringing Critical Planning Theory to Urban Agriculture3: Barriers and Benefits of North American Urban Agriculture4: A Survey of Urban Community Gardeners in the United States of America5: Gardens in the City: Community, Politics, and Place in San Diego, California6: “Growing Food is Hard Work:” The Labor Challenges of Urban Agriculture in Houston, Texas7: The Marketing of Vegetables Produced in Cities in Ghana: Implications and Trajectories8: Hunger for Justice: Building Sustainable and Equitable Communities in Massachusetts9: Sustainability’s Incomplete Circles: Towards a Just Food Politics in Austin, Texas and Havana, Cuba10: A Political Ecology of Community Gardens in Australia: From Local to Global Lessons11: Urban Agriculture as Adaptive Capacity: An Example from Senegal12: Intersection and Material Flow in Open-Space Urban Farms in Tanzania13: Relying on Urban Gardens for Survival within the Building of a Modern City in Colombia14: Regreening Kibera: How Urban Agriculture Changed the Physical and Social Environment of a Large Slum in Kenya15: Farm Fresh in the City: Urban Grassroots Food Distribution Networks in Finland16: The Appropriation of Space through ‘Communist Swarms:’ A Socio-Spatial Examination of Urban Apiculture in Washington, DC17: Urban Agriculture and the Re-Assembly of the City: Lessons from Wuhan, China18: The Contribution of Smallholder Irrigated Urban Agriculture Towards Household Food Security in Harare, Zimbabwe19: Community Gardens as Urban Social-Ecological Refuges in the Global North20: Global Urban Agriculture into the Future: Urban Cultivation as Accepted Practice

        Urban pests are common all over the world. These include cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes, bed bugs, ticks, fleas, ants, termites, rodents and others. These pests thrive in human structures, where there is food, warmth and places to hide. Urban pests are one of the leading causes of illnesses in humans due to allergies, bites, food contamination and phobias. They can also cause significant damage to property and structures. Knowledge and training in this field is vital for professional and trainee pest managers. This book is specifically intended to provide an aid to such candidates. The book contains 500 multiple-choice questions (and answers) grouped into the following major topic areas: · The history of urban entomology · Household pests · Cockroaches · Flies · Mosquitoes · Bed bugs · Termites · Sporadic pests · Stored product pests · Vertebrate pests · Pesticides and pesticide formulations · Handling pesticides · Integrated Pest Control Produced in a convenient format that can be used at any time in any place, the book allows the reader to learn and revise the subject and much more. Its structure allows the study of one topic area at a time, progressing through a simple introduction followed by key revision questions, many of which require students to use their practical knowledge.

        Urban Insect Pests

        Sustainable Management Strategies

        by Edited by Partho Dhang.

        A companion to 'Urban Pest Management', this book builds on the issues of insect pests in urban settings to discuss control strategies that look beyond products. From an environmental and health perspective, it is not always practical to spray chemicals indoors or in urban settings, so this work discusses sustainable control and best practice methods for managing insects that are vectors of disease, nuisance pests and the cause of structural damage.

        Rede gegen den Krieg

        Rede gegen den Krieg

        Politische Flugschriften. Herausgegeben von Peter Urban

        by Lew Tolstoj, Peter Urban

        Lew Tolstoj wurde am 9. September 1828 in Jasnaja Poljana bei Tula geboren und starb am 20. November 1910 in Astapowo, heute zur Oblast Lipezk an einer Lungenentzündung. Tolstoj entstammte einem russischen Adelsgeschlecht. Als er mit neun Jahren Vollwaise wurde, übernahm die Schwester seines Vaters die Vormundschaft. An der Universität Kasan begann er 1844 das Studium orientalischer Sprachen. Nach einem Wechsel zur juristischen Fakultät brach er das Studium 1847 ab, um zu versuchen, die Lage der 350 geerbten Leibeigenen im Stammgut der Familie in Jasnaja Poljana mit Landreformen zu verbessern. Er erlebte von 1851 an in der zaristischen Armee die Kämpfe im Kaukasus und nach Ausbruch des Krimkriegs 1854 den Stellungskrieg in der belagerten Festung Sewastopol. Die Berichte aus diesem Krieg (1855: Sewastopoler Erzählungen) machten ihn als Schriftsteller früh bekannt. Er bereiste aus pädagogischem Interesse 1857 und 1860/61 westeuropäische Länder und traf dort auf Künstler und Pädagogen. Nach der Rückkehr verstärkte er die reformpädagogischen Bestrebungen und richtete Dorfschulen nach dem Vorbild Rousseaus ein. Seit 1855 lebte er abwechselnd auf dem Gut Jasnaja Poljana, in Moskau, und in Sankt Petersburg. Im Jahre 1862 heiratete er die 18-jährige deutschstämmige Sofja Andrejewna Behrs, mit der er insgesamt 13 Kinder hatte. In den folgenden Jahren seiner Ehe schrieb er die monumentalen Romane Krieg und Frieden sowie Anna Karenina, die Tolstojs literarischen Weltruhm begründeten. Peter Urban (1941-2013), war Lektor im Suhrkamp Verlag, Mitbegründer des Verlags der Autoren und der bedeutendste Vermittler und Übersetzer russischer, serbischer und tschechischer Literatur im deutschen Sprachraum. Er übersetzte u.a. das Gesamtwerk von Tschechow, die Prosa Puschkins, Werke von Daniil Charms, Isaak Babel, Leonid Dobytschin und Gennadi Gor.

        Der Reprint der legendären Werkausgabe zum 100. Todestag des Autors | Endlich wieder lieferbar

        by Velimir Chlebnikov, Peter Urban, Marie Luise Knott

        In seinem Manifest »Eine Ohrfeige dem öffentlichen Geschmack« forderte Velimir Chlebnikov 1912, »die alten Großen« – Puschkin, Dostojewski, Tolstoi usw. – »vom Dampfer der Gegenwart zu stoßen«. Der Begründer des russischen Futurismus, Generationengenosse von Franz Kafka und James Joyce, von Kurt Schwitters und Raoul Hausmann, träumte von einer radikalen poetischen Erneuerung der Sprache. Er war Wegbereiter der konkreten Poesie und des Surrealismus. In seinen Gedichten kombiniert er die »Sternensprache« mit der Alltagssprache, den »Zaum« (eine Sprache der Laute und der Zufallsschöpfungen) mit der »Zahlenrede«. Der Reprint erscheint zum 100. Todestag des Autors und zum 50. Geburtstag der legendären Gesamtausgabe, die Peter Urban 1972 im Rowohlt Verlag als exzeptionelles übersetzerisches Kollektivunternehmen realisiert hat. Mitwirkende waren u.a. H.C. Artmann, Paul Celan, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Ernst Jandl, Friederike Mayröcker, Franz Mon, Oskar Pastior und Gerhard Rühm. Ein anarchisches Experiment, in dessen Bahnen sich die translinguale Poesie heute bewegt.

        Nach außen scheint alles perfekt. Madeleine ist mit einem erfolgreichen Geschäftsmann verheiratet, sie hat ein schönes Zuhause in Chicago und keine finanziellen Sorgen. Dennoch ist sie nicht glücklich: Wie schon ihre Mutter und ihre Großmutter ist sie gefangen in einem Leben, das aus gesellschaftlichen Verpflichtungen besteht; die eigenen Träume sind auf der Strecke geblieben. Als Madeleine eines Tages auf dem Dachboden ihres Elternhauses die Tagebücher ihrer Großmutter entdeckt, erfährt sie Unglaubliches: Die strenge, stets auf Etikette bedachte Großmutter Margie war einst eine lebenslustige junge Frau, die der Enge des Elternhauses nach Europa ins wilde Paris der 20er Jahre entfloh, um frei und unabhängig als Schriftstellerin zu leben. Dort verliebte sie sich in einen charismatischen jungen Künstler und verbrachte einen glücklichen Sommer in der Pariser Boheme ... Von Margies Geschichte ermutigt, fasst sich Madeleine endlich ein Herz, ihr Leben selbst in die Hand zu nehmen …

        Eine Madeleine aus Schwarzbrot

        Eine Madeleine aus Schwarzbrot

        by Michal Glowinski, Martin Pollack

        Je länger der Trauerzug für Stalin durch die Straßen Warschaus marschiert, desto heiterer wird die Stimmung jener, die daran teilnehmen müssen – die Hoffnung auf Befreiung nach dem Tod des Diktators bricht sich Bahn. Mit oft hintergründiger Ironie führt Michal Głowińskis Zyklus von Erzählungen eindringlich die Atmosphäre im Nachkriegspolen vor Augen – jene Jahre der staatlichen Repression, in denen auch der Antisemitismus im neuen kommunistischen Gewand wiederersteht. Głowińskis Reise durch die Erinnerung führt auch in die Zeit der Shoah zurück, die der bekannte polnische Literaturwissenschaftler als Kind und Jugendlicher im Warschauer Ghetto und dann in verschiedenen Verstecken überlebte. Im Mittelpunkt aber steht die Welt der Volksrepublik Polen nach 1945. Knappe, erhellende Momentaufnahmen machen die menschlichen Tiefendimensionen einer von vielen Traumata gezeichneten Gesellschaft einsichtig, die Głowiński als Schüler und Student erlebte und nun erzählend in Erinnerung ruft – eine Zeit des kollektiv verordneten Verdrängens wird vergegenwärtigt, in der schon das Wahrhaben von zerstörerischen Auswirkungen der »großen Geschichte« auf die Lebensgeschichten einzelner ein Zeugnis des Widerstehens war.

        Urban transformations and public health in the emergent city

        by Michael Keith, Andreza Aruska de Souza Santos, Susan Parnell

        The imperatives of public health shaped our understanding of the cities of the global north in the first industrial revolutions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They are doing so again today, reflecting new geographies of the urban age of the twenty-first. Emergent cities in parts of the globe experiencing most profound urban growth face major problems of economic, ecological and social sustainability when making sense of new health challenges and designing policy frameworks for public health infrastructures. The rapid evolution of complex 'systems of systems' in today's cities continually reconfigure the urban commons, reshaping how we understand urban public health, defining new problems and drawing on new data tools for analysis that work from the historical legacies and geographical variations that structure public health systems.
