Inhalt: Gerodete Wälder, Landspekulationen, Care-Krise: Kann gemeinschaftliches Eigentum helfen, die sozial-ökologische Krise zu überwinden? In den Philippinen sind vorkoloniale kollektive Landrechte Indigener rechtlich anerkannt. Wie manifestiert sich unter diesen Bedingungen die sozial-ökologische Krise? Mit feministischer Forschungsperspektive nähert sich Janina Dannenberg dieser Frage in einer Fallstudie zu Materialität und Alltagspraxis der Matigsalug Manobo in Bukidnon an. Der (Re)Produktivitätsansatz, der analytisch feministische Ökonomiekritik und Ökologische Ökonomik miteinander verbindet, wird dezidiert empirisch getestet, kritisch diskutiert und im Sinne von Bruno Latours »Nichtmoderne« erweitert

Inhalt: This book describes recent developments on equine nutrition and rehabilitation. Experts provide reviews on feeding horses with roughage only and with medicinal plants, as well as insight in the potential importance of monitoring the urine of horses for mycotoxins. Information on the effect of supplementing the diet of horses with dimethylglycine and aleurone complement the nutritive information. Moreover, overviews are given on managing the whole horse instead of the lesioned tissues only and inform on a new tool to monitor the effect of measures taken. In addition, there is very specific information on the effect of training horses included. The book will be of interest to those working in the field of equine sports nutrition, science and medicine
