First World WarNovember 2009Poverty, philanthropy and the state
Charities and the working classes in London, 1918–79
by Katharine Bradley
This book looks at a number of charities in London between 1918 and 1979, and the ways in which they negotiated the growth of the welfare state and changes in the communities around them.These charities - the 'university settlements'- were founded in the 1880's and 1890's and brought young graduates such as William Beveridge & Clement Attlee to deprived areas of cities to undertake social work. It is of interest to those who wish to know more about the complexities of the relationships between charities, the welfare state and individuals in the course of the twentieth century. Bradley argues that whilst the settlements often had difficulties in sustaining their work with the vulnerable, they remained an important factor between the individual and the impacts of poverty. Aimed at scholars in the fields of history, social policy, sociology and criminology this book will also be of interest to practitioners in the voluntary sector and government.

Er ›bittet‹ Detective Frank Bennett, den Kollegen seiner Tochter Eden, um diskrete Hilfe, denn die Spuren könnten tief in das faszinierende, gewaltsatte Vorleben von Hades führen.Gleichzeitig hat Eden, Top-Detective bei der Mordkommission mit dem seltenen Talent, Verbrecher aufzuspüren und zur Strecke zu bringen, einen extrem schwierigen Auftrag: Drei Mädchen sind verschwunden, und die Spur führt sie zu einer verlassenen Farm, auf der sich ein Serienkiller rumtreibt.

Sie muss all ihre erstaunlichen Fähigkeiten einsetzen, um zu überleben. Zudem ist ihre Beziehung zu ihrem Partner Bennett kompliziert, beide sind traumatisiert, und dass Bennett gerade auf Alkohol und Drogen ist, macht die Sache nicht einfacher.

PoetryJuly 1904Paradise Lost
by John Milton
Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton. The first version, published in 1667, consisted of ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse. A second edition followed in 1674, arranged into twelve books (in the manner of Virgil's Aeneid) with minor revisions throughout and a note on the versification. The poem concerns the biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Milton's purpose, stated in Book I, is to "justify the ways of God to men".

May 1996The Church of John F. Kennedy
Roman
by Thomas Meinecke
Auf der Suche nach den transatlantischen Luftwurzeln der europäischen - und vor allem auch: der deutschen - Kultur in Amerika bewahrheitet sich dem Reisenden Wenzel Assmann die These, daß die USA zwar imstande sind, die ganze Welt über den Einheitskamm ihres »Way of Life« zu scheren, daß sie nach innen jedoch eine bis heute äußerst heterogene Kulturlandschaft voller weißer Flecken und schwarzer Löcher aufweisen. Jene Kadenzen, die von den einzelnen ethnischen Gruppierungen der Salatschüssel U.S.A. auf die europäische Nationalstaatlichkeit, der sie einst entflohen sind, angestimmt werden, erscheinen dabei als nach wie vor utopischer Vielklang, der in krassem Gegensatz zu den engstirnigen Bestrebungen des während seines sogenannten Einigungsprozesses in lärmende National- und wütende Kleinstaaterei zerfallenden Europas steht.

Technology, Engineering & AgricultureAugust 2018Ethical Tensions from New Technology
The Case of Agricultural Biotechnology
by Harvey S. James, Jr., Philipp Aerni, Rachel A. Ankeny, Bartosz Bartkowski, Heather J. Bray, Bradley Martin Jones, Deepthi E. Kolady, Jane Kolodinsky, Katie M. MacDonald, Kelly A. McKinley, Desmond Ng, Frauke Pirscher, Roberto Quiroz, Dane Scott, Shivendra Kumar Srivastava, Debra M. Strauss, Insa Theesfeld, Johannes Timaeus, Corrine Valdivia, Duane Windsor
The introduction of new technologies can be controversial, especially when they create ethical tensions as well as winners and losers among stakeholders and interest groups. While ethical tensions resulting from the genetic modification of crops and plants and their supportive gene technologies have been apparent for decades, persistent challenges remain. This book explores the contemporary nature, type, extent and implications of ethical tensions resulting from agricultural biotechnology specifically and technology generally. There are four main arenas of ethical tensions: public opinion, policy and regulation, technology as solutions to problems, and older versus new technologies. Contributions focus on one or more of these arenas by identifying the ethical tensions technology creates and articulating emerging fault lines and, where possible, viable solutions. Key features include: Focusing on contemporary challenges created by new and emerging technologies, especially agricultural biotechnology. Identifying a unique perspective by considering the problem of ethical tensions created or enhanced by new technologies. Providing an interdisciplinary perspective by including perspectives from sociologists, economists, philosophers and other social scientists. This book will be of interest to academics in agricultural economics, sociology and philosophy and policymakers concerned with introducing new technology into agriculture.
