April 2022Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
by Eifert, Georg H.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) aims to teach people to face emotional problems openly with mindfulness and compassion while pursuing what they truly care about in their lives. The book provides an introduction to the principles and methods of ACT and presents therapeutic strategies across disorders. ACT is not primarily about eliminating and controlling symptoms, but about developing greater psychological flexibility through learning mindful acceptance. Using numerous examples, the book describes how clients can learn to respond with greater kindness to their unwanted inner experience, to gently deal with their emotional and thought barriers, and to focus on committed life-goal-oriented action. Numerous experiential exercises, metaphors, mindfulness techniques, and behavioral activation methods are presented for this purpose. In addition, this new edition of the book provides information on current effectiveness evidence and developments in ACT, e.g. promoting self- compassion. For:• psychotherapists• psychiatrists• clinical psychologists• students and teachers in psychotherapeutictraining, furthertraining, and continuing education

April 2023Speculation by Commodity Index Funds
The Impact on Food and Energy Prices
by Scott H. Irwin, Dwight R. Sanders
Commodity futures prices exploded in 2007-08 and concerns about a new type of participant in commodity futures markets began to emerge. Market participants, regulators, and civic organizations began raising concerns that inflows from new "commodity index" investments were driving the increases in commodity prices instead of economic fundamentals. The main argument was that unprecedented buying pressure from these speculative long-only futures traders created massive bubbles that resulted in prices substantially exceeding fundamental value. At the time, it was not uncommon to link concerns about speculation and high prices to world hunger, food crises, and civil unrest. Naturally, this outcry resulted in numerous regulatory proposals to restrict speculation in commodity futures markets through transaction taxes, speculative position limits, and even the bizarre idea of a "virtual reserve" whereby a public agency would take futures positions opposite speculators. At the core, these assertions raised major economic questions about the efficiency of price discovery in commodity futures markets. Moreover, these so-called remedies did not come without a potential cost. Burdensome regulations would increase compliance and risk sharing costs across the global food system-lowering prices for producers and increasing costs to consumers. To guide this debate, a rigorous approach was needed to understand the dynamics between prices and commodity index activity. This book documents a curated selection of papers on the impact of index investment on commodity futures prices. The chronology of the papers roughly follows the timeline of our involvement in the world-wide debate about commodity speculation as it evolved after 2007. The 10 papers follow the evolving speculation debate with new author forwards highlighting the contribution and impact. Policy-makers, researchers, and market participants will find this not only as useful documentation of the debate; but, also a natural starting point when high commodity prices inevitably create the next speculation backlash.

Science & MathematicsNovember 2016Keys to the Tropical Fruit Flies of South-East Asia
(Tephritidae: Dacinae)
by Richard A I Drew, Meredith C Romig
Fruit flies are a major issue facing horticultural producers, and as global warming and species migration become more prevalent issues there is an urgent need for easy identification of these pests. A companion volume to the recently published “Tropical Fruit Flies of South-East Asia (Tephritidae: Dacinae)”, this book provides fully-illustrated keys for the identification of all currently-known Dacinae fruit flies. Focusing on south-east Asian fauna, it covers areas including India, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, China, Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, Palau, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. This major new reference work is produced by experts with over 80 years' combined research experience, and through simple identification information can help prevent these major pest species being introduced to new geographical areas. Of particular value to agriculture and quarantine officers responsible for the detection of new incursions, where early detection is both economical and essential to guarantee eradication, this book is also a valuable resource for researchers and students of agriculture and entomology. ; A companion to “Tropical Fruit Flies of South-East Asia (Tephritidae: Dacinae)”, this book provides fully-illustrated keys for the identification of all currently-known Dacinae fruit flies.

December 1983Der Raritätenladen
Aus dem Englischen von Leo Feld. Mit Holzschnitten von George Cattermole, H.K. Browne, George Cruikshank und Daniel Maclise
by Charles Dickens, Daniel Maclise, George Cattermole, H. K. Browne, George Cruikshank, Leo Feld
Charles Dickens wurde am 7. Februar 1812 in Landport, England als zweites von acht Kindern geboren. Er wuchs in ärmlichen Familienverhältnissen auf und lernte schon früh die Erfahrung von Hunger und Not kennen, als der Vater in Schuldhaft kam. Charles mußte für die Versorgung der Familie aufkommen und arbeitete, wie zahlreiche andere Kinder auch, in einer Lagerhalle und als Hilfsarbeiter in einer Fabrik. Nachdem die widrigsten Zeiten überstanden waren, setzte er mit vierzehn Jahren seinen Schulbesuch fort und arbeitete später als Schreiber bei einem Rechtsanwalt und als Zeitungsjournalist. Mit seiner Skizzensammlung Sketches by Boz (1836) und The Pickwick Papers (1837) hatte Dickens überraschend Erfolg und wurde schnell zu einem der bekanntesten Autoren Englands. Später erlangte er auch große Bekanntheit in den USA. Dickens erste Romane erschienen alle als Fortsetzungsgeschichten in Zeitungen, so auch eines seiner bekanntesten Werke, Oliver Twist (1837). Dickens war Herausgeber der Tageszeitung Daily News und der Zeitschrift Household Words. Neben der Schriftstellerei verdiente er sich sein Geld mit Lese- und Vortragsreisen in England und den USA. A Christmas Carol (1843), gehörte dabei zu seinem festen Leseprogramm. Charles Dickens starb am 9. Juni 1870 in Kent. Leo Feld, geboren 1869 in Augsburg und verstorben 1924 in Florenz, studierte in Wien Philosophie. Bereits während des Studiums war er für verschiedene Wiener Zeitungen tätig. Später machte er sich als Übersetzer und Schriftsteller einen Namen.
