The ArtsMarch 2024The loneliness room
A creative ethnography of loneliness
by Sean Redmond
This remarkably unique book takes the conceit of the loneliness room to show how everyday artistic practice opens up loneliness to new definitions and new understandings. Refusing to pathologise loneliness, the book draws on the creative submissions supplied by its participants to demonstrate that being lonely can mean different things to different people in differing contexts. Filled with the photographs, paintings, videos, songs, and writings of its participants, The loneliness room is a deeply moving account of loneliness today.

Literature & Literary StudiesSeptember 2020God's only daughter
Spenser's Una as the invisible Church
by J. B. Lethbridge, Kathryn Walls
In this study, Kathryn Walls challenges the standard identification of Una with the post-Reformation English Church, arguing that she is, rather, Augustine's City of God - the invisible Church, whose membership is known only to God. Una's story (its Tudor resonances notwithstanding) therefore embraces that of the Synagogue before the Incarnation as well as that of the Church in the time of Christ and thereafter. It also allegorises the redemptive process that sustains the true Church. Una is fallible in canto I. Subsequently, however, she comes to embody divine perfection. Her transformation depends upon the intervention of the lion as Christ. Convinced of the consistency and coherence of Spenser's allegory, Walls offers fresh interpretations of Abessa (as Synagoga), of the fauns and satyrs (the Gentiles), and of Una's dwarf (adiaphoric forms of worship). She also reinterprets Spenser's marriage metaphor, clarifying the significance of Red Cross as Una's spouse in the final canto.

December 2024Principles of One Health for a better planet
by Barbara Häsler, Asta Tvarijonaviciute, Sara Savic
The climate crisis, inequality, poverty, disease, hunger, food waste, and loss of biodiversity are all part of an extensive list of global challenges impacting us at a local level that could be addressed better by using the One Health approach. In a world where people, animals and the environment are recognized as being interconnected and interdependent, we need to work together to improve the health of people, plants, animals and ecosystems simultaneously. One Health provides the thinking, concepts, tools, and practical approaches needed to tackle health problems in a collective and collaborative way. But what is One Health, and how can we implement it in our everyday life? This textbook provides an easy to understand, straightforward description of One Health concepts, principles and methods, structured around core competencies so that everyone can contribute to addressing today's most profound global problems more efficiently and effectively. As an entry-level learning resource for anybody with an interest in better understanding and implementing One Health, it is a comprehensive yet accessible introduction for undergraduate and postgraduate students, practitioners, decision-makers and researchers across a wide range of subject specialisms.

November 2020One Health
The Theory and Practice of Integrated Health Approaches
by Jakob Zinsstag, Esther Schelling, Lisa Crump, Maxine Whittaker, Marcel Tanner, Craig Stephen
One Health, the concept of combined veterinary and human health, has now expanded beyond emerging infectious diseases and zoonoses to incorporate a wider suite of health issues.

It includes more non-infectious disease issues and climate change discussion alongside revised case studies and expanded methodology chapters to draw out implications for practice. Promoting an action-based, solutions-oriented approach, One Health: The Theory and Practice of Integrated Health Approaches highlights the lessons learned for both human and animal health professionals and students.

April 2022Earth Observation, Public Health and One Health
Activities, Challenges and Opportunities
by Stéphanie Brazeau, Nicholas H. Ogden
This book focuses on the potential for Earth Observation (EO) to contribute to public health practice. Remote sensing experts from the EO community together with epidemiologists, modelling experts, policy makers, managers and public health researchers gathered at the One Earth-One Health workshop held at the Canadian Earth Observation Summit in Montreal in 2017. They shared how EO is being used to understand, track, predict, and manage infectious diseases and discussed the challenges and significant potential of using and developing EO data for public health purposes. The information provided by the workshop participants and members of the international community, has been compiled and substantially updated to reach EO community members and public health professionals interested in developing and applying EO and other geospatial applications in the risk assessment and management of public health issues. Major foci are mosquito-borne diseases, tick-borne diseases, air quality and heat, water-borne diseases, vulnerable populations and pandemics (including COVID-19).

July 2023One Health for Dog-mediated Rabies Elimination in Asia
A Collection of Local Experiences
by Vanessa Slack, Deborah Nadal, Sandul Yasobant, Florence Cliquet, Waqas Ahmad, Nihal Pushpakumara, Sumon Ghosh
Although an effective rabies vaccine has existed since 1885, rabies continues to kill an estimated 59,000 people, and uncalculated animals, every year. Sixty per cent of these human deaths occur in Asia. To work towards the global target of eliminating dog-mediated rabies by 2030, the rabies community is applying the One Health approach. Written by a multidisciplinary group of scholars and rabies control programme specialists, this book is a collection of experiences and observations on the challenges and successes along the path to rabies control and prevention in Asia. It: - Grounds chapters in solid scientific theory, but retains a direct, practice-focused and inspirational approach; - Provides numerous examples of lessons learned and experience-based knowledge gained across countries at different levels of rabies control and elimination; - Brings together and highlights the practices of a strong, international rabies network that works according to the One Health concept. Covering perspectives from almost a dozen Asian countries and a wide range of sectors and disciplines, such as healthcare facilities, veterinary services, laboratories, academia, public health institutes and wildlife research centres, this book is an invaluable resource for rabies scholars and practitioners, but also those working in the wider fields of disease control and cross-sectoral One Health.

November 2015Rassismus, Imperialismus und die Idee menschlicher Entwicklung
by Thomas McCarthy, Michael Müller
»Die Menschheit«, so Kant in seiner Vorlesung über Physische Geographie, »ist in ihrer größten Vollkommenheit in der Race der Weißen. Die gelben Indianer haben schon ein geringeres Talent. Die Neger sind weit tiefer, und am tiefsten steht ein Theil der amerikanischen Völkerschaften.« Die Vorstellung, der Entwicklungsstand der Menschen sei bedingt durch ihre ethnische Abstammung, ist tief verwurzelt im westlichen Denken. Thomas McCarthy zeigt, dass Rassismus und Imperialismus von Anfang an wesentliche Elemente der modernen Weltordnung waren. Ausgehend vom philosophischen Erbe der Aufklärung entwirft er eine kritische Theorie humaner Entwicklung, die für einen universalistischen Multikulturalismus eintritt.

April 2023Die Fabrikation von Erkenntnis
Zur Anthropologie der Wissenschaft | 50 Jahre stw – Limitierte Jubiläumsausgabe
by Karin Knorr Cetina, Rom Harré
Wie entsteht eine wissenschaftliche Tatsache? Wie stellt sich naturwissenschaftliche Kreativität dar, wenn man sie im Labor des Naturwissenschaftlers beobachtet? Wie verhält sich die handwerkliche Arbeit der Forscherin zu dem, was im veröffentlichten wissenschaftlichen Text steht? Karin Knorr Cetina geht durch das Labor mit den Augen einer Anthropologin, die die Sitten und Gebräuche einer fremden Ethnie mit der Distanz, aber auch der Sympathie des Mitglieds einer anderen Kultur studiert. Dabei zeigt sich, dass man das Unternehmen Wissenschaft mit idealisierten epistemologischen Begriffen nicht besonders gut zu fassen bekommt. Es muss vielmehr aus der Alltagswelt wissenschaftlicher Handarbeit rekonstruiert werden. Ein Klassiker der Wissenschaftssoziologie.
