Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2014Chinua Achebe
by Jago Morrison, John Thieme
Chinua Achebe has long been regarded as Africa's foremost writer. In this major new study, Jago Morrison offers a comprehensive reassessment of his work as an author, broadcaster, editor and political thinker. With new, historically contextualised readings of all of his major works, this is the first study to view Achebe's oeuvre in its entirety, from Things Fall Apart and the early novels, through the revolutionary Ahiara Declaration - previously attributed to Emeka Ojukwu - to the revealing final works The Education of a British Educated Child and There Was a Country. Contesting previous interpretations which align Achebe too easily with this or that nationalist programme, the book reveals Achebe as a much more troubled figure than critics have habitually assumed. Authoritative and wide-ranging, this book will be essential reading for scholars and students of Achebe's work in the twenty-first century. ;

January 1999Herz und Handlungsrationalität
Biographische Verläufe nach koronarer Bypass-Operation zwischen Beruf und Berentung. Eine idealtypenanalytische Studie
by Uta Gerhardt
Uta Gerhardts Untersuchung der Handlungsrationalität bei Herzpatienten am Scheideweg zwischen Beruf und Berentung gewinnt Neuland sowohl in der kardiologischen als auch in der soziologischen Forschungslandschaft. Für die Medizin wird deutlich: Patienten nach einer Bypass-Operation verhalten sich nicht gemäß einer »Logik der Klinik«, sonder eher gemäß einer »Logik des Lebens«. Diese verweist zudem auf die Alters- und Berufsstrukturen der modernen Gesellschaft. Für die Soziologie zeigt sich, daß medizinische Themenfelder mitten in die Problematik der Gesellschaftswissenschaften hineingehören. Wie andere Einzeldisziplinen - etwa die Familien- oder die Kultursoziologie - kann die Medizinsoziologie zur Klärung allgemeiner soziologischer Fragen und zur Konkretisierung von abstrakten Themenstellungen der soziologische Theorie beitragen.

Zoology & animal sciencesMay 2021Nutrition and Feeding Organic Cattle
by Robert Blair
Organic cattle farming is on the increase, with consumer demand for organic milk and meat growing yearly. Beginning with an overview of the aims and principles behind organic cattle production, this book presents extensive information about how to feed cattle so that the milk and meat produced meet organic standards, and provides a comprehensive summary of ruminant digestive processes and nutrition. Since the publication of the first edition, global consumers have increasingly become concerned with the sustainability of meat production. Here, Robert Blair considers the interrelationships of sustainable practices and profitability of organic herds, reviewing how to improve forage production and quality, and minimizing the need for supplementary feeding using off-farm ingredients. This new edition also covers: - Managing a recurrent shortage of organic feed ingredients, due to increased GM feed crop cultivation worldwide - Current findings on appropriate breeds and grazing systems for forage-based organic production - Diet-related health issues in organic herds and the effects of organic production on meat and milk quality. Required reading for animal science researchers, advisory personnel that service the organic milk and beef industries and students interested in organic milk and meat production, this book is also a useful resource for organic farming associations, veterinarians, and feed and food industry personnel.
