        An Environmental Perspective

        by Partho Dhang

        The management and control of pests in the urban environment in the 21st Century faces many challenges.

        Medientheorie 1888–1933

        Texte und Kommentare

        by Albert Kümmel, Petra Löffler

        Diese Anthologie dokumentiert umfassend weitgehend unbekannte Quellentexte zur frühen Medientheorie. Sie beschränkt sich nicht auf ein Einzelmedium, sondern thematisiert sowohl drahtlose Telegraphie als auch Photographie, Kino, Radio, Bildfunk und Fernsehen. Dabei wird Mediengeschichte als Diskursgeschichte rekonstruiert, indem diejenigen Debatten im Mittelpunkt stehen, die den Prozeß der Epistemologisierung von Medialität prägten. In dessen Zentrum stehen der Begriff der »Masse« und solche Begriffe, die Vermassungsphänomene in den Kontext der neuen Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten stellen. Kurze Kommentare und mehrfache Register ergänzen den Dokumentationsteil und bieten so ein praktisches Handbuch mit Quellentexten der Medientheorie. Petra Löffler und Albert Kümmel sind wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter im Forschungskolleg »Medien und kulturelle Kommunikation« der Universitäten Aachen, Bonn und Köln.

        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

        Martin Luther und Katharina von Bora

        Der rebellische Mönch, die entlaufene Nonne und der größte Bestseller aller Zeiten

        by Petra Gerster, Christian Nürnberger

        Ein unbekannter Mönch, der sich mit dem Papst anlegt, und eine adlige Ordensschwester, die aus dem Kloster flieht: Martin Luther und Katharina von Bora waren ein skandalträchtiges Paar! Christian Nürnberger und Petra Gerster begeben sich auf die Spuren des Paares. Sie zeigen, wie Luther die katholische Kirche und die gesamte damalige Welt zum Wanken brachte und wie sich das bis heute auf unser Leben auswirkt. Und welch große Unterstützung dieser mutige und unbeirrbare Mann von seiner Frau Katharina von Bora erhielt – sie war ihm eine ebenbürtige, geistreiche Gesprächspartnerin, hielt ihm den Rücken frei und regelte den häuslichen Alltag und die finanziellen Angelegenheiten der Familie. »Eine beeindruckende, unterhaltsame und lehrreiche Lektüre zu Luther und seiner Zeit, die aus der Vielzahl der zum Jubiläumsjahr schon erschienenen Titel heraussticht.« Jury des EMYS-Sachbuchpreises

        Tips and strategies for successful ageing

        by Dr. Petra Kiedaisch

        In the middle of our lives, the cards are reshuffled: marriages are divorced, careers are questioned, friendships are ended, questions of meaning are asked, bodies change - and not just hormonally. At the same time, children leave home and parents become carers. From the age of 45, the majority of our population is at the centre of a second upheaval that affects all facets of our lives and leaves us at a loss in many ways. Not only in our daily lives, but also when it comes to planning for our own old age. This guide is designed to help us find our way. It presents the most important information from all areas relevant to a good life after 45. Leading experts from the fields of medicine, nutrition, philosophy, theology, psychology, care, law and finance give recommendations on what to look out for and what tools are needed to get through these challenging years unscathed. Useful checklists round off the articles. The book shows us the unique opportunity to see these challenges not as a crisis but as a source of strength. Not only can we come through this period of our lives healthy and happy, but we can also shape it so that the next age threshold is no longer frightening. During the second phase of adolescence, we lay the foundations for whether and how we will grow older. Be it in terms of health or living together with family and friends. With contributions from: Prof. Dr. Martin Gessmann (philosophy), Dipl. Psych. Claudia Kühner (psychology), Dr Suso Lederle (medicine), Dr Petra Forster (nutrition), Christian Hald, Anja Heine (law), Prof Dr Philipp Schreiber (finance), Prof Dr Thomas Klie (nursing care insurance), Georg Eberhardt (religion).

        Goethe und Tischbein in Rom

        Bilder und Texte

        by Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein, Petra Maisak

        Goethe hatte ihm ein Stipendium verschafft. Damit konnte der Maler Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein (1751–1829) einen Aufenthalt in Rom finanzieren, wo er seine künstlerische Ausbildung vervollkommnen wollte. Als Goethe zu seiner ersten Italienreise aufbrach und am 29. Oktober 1786 in Rom ankam, nahm er sofort zu Tischbein Kontakt auf, und bereits am nächsten Tag zog er in Tischbeins Wohnung ein. In den folgenden Wochen und Monaten durchwanderten die Freunde gemeinsam das neue und das alte Rom, und Tischbein unterrichtete Goethe im Zeichnen.Der vorliegende Band dokumentiert diese Künstlerfreundschaft anhand der Gemälde und Zeichnungen Tischbeins, die während ihres gemeinsamen Romaufenthalts entstanden, und durch ausgewählte Passagen aus Briefen und der Italienischen Reise. Ein Essay von Petra Maisak, der diese außergewöhnliche Künstlerfreundschaft kenntnisreich und anschaulich beschreibt, leitet den Band ein.
