Content: In the late 18th century explorers and scientists started venturing into the Arctic in a heroic and sometimes deadly effort to understand and unveil the secrets of the unforgiving and mysterious polar region of the high north. Despite that the Arctic was already populated mattered less for the first wave of polar researchers and explorations who nevertheless, brought back valuable knowledge. Today the focus in Arctic science and discourse has changed to one which includes the peoples and societies, and their interaction with the world beyond. The image of a static Arctic - heralded first by explorers - prevailed for a long time, but today the eyes of the World see the Arctic very differently. Few, if any, other places on Earth are currently experiencing the kind of dramatic change witnessed in the Arctic. According to model forecasts, these changes are likely to have profound implications on biophysical and human systems, and will accelerate in the decades to come.  “The New Arctic” highlights how, and in what parts, the natural and political system is being transformed. We’re talking about a region where demography, culture, and political and economic systems are increasingly diverse, although many common interests and aspects remain; and with the new Arctic now firmly placed in a global context. Settlements range from small, predominantly indigenous communities, to large industrial cities, and all have a link to the surrounding environment, be it glaciers or vegetation or the ocean itself. “The New Arctic” contributes to our further understanding of the changing Arctic. It offers a range of perspectives, which reflect the deep insight of a variety of scientific scholars across many disciplines bringing a wide range of expertise. The book speaks to a broad audience, including policy-makers, students and scientific colleagues.

Content: The scale, effectiveness and legitimacy of global governance lag far behind the world's needs. This path-breaking book examines how far civil society involvement provides an answer to these problems. Does civil society make global governance more democratic? Have citizen action groups raised the accountability of global bodies that deal with challenges such as climate change, financial crises, conflict, disease and inequality? What circumstances have promoted (or blocked) civil society efforts to make global governance institutions more democratically accountable? What could improve these outcomes in the future? The authors base their argument on studies of thirteen global institutions, including the UN, G8, WTO, ICANN and IMF. Specialists from around the world critically assess what has and has not worked in efforts to make global bodies answer to publics as well as states. Combining intellectual depth and political relevance, Building Global Democracy? will appeal to students, researchers, activists and policymakers.

Content: Über Geschmack lässt sich nicht streiten. Oder doch? Im Rahmen einer Forschungsarbeit zur Entwicklung von Aromastoffen und zur (Be)Deutung von Natürlichkeit und Nicht-Natürlichkeit kann über Geschmack durchaus gestritten beziehungsweise diskutiert werden. In „Eine Geschichte mit Geschmack" geht es um die Prägung von Geschmacksvorstellungen und -wahrnehmungen in der Gesellschaft und um den Umgang mit synthetischen und künstlichen Aromastoffen mit Fokus auf Deutschland im 20. Jahrhundert. Im Kern steht dabei die Frage nach Natürlichkeit, denn das Verständnis von „natürlich" und „nicht-natürlich" ist essentiell für den Umgang mit Aromastoffen. Anhand des Ersatzstoffdiskurses und des Natürlichkeitsdiskurses wurde die Entwicklung von Produktion, Verbreitung, Konsum und Regulierung dieser Stoffe nachgezeichnet und in ihren Spezifika analysiert. Vanillin, als der erste chemisch-industriell synthetisierte und als der am meisten verbrauchte Aromastoff, dient dabei als herausstechendes Fallbeispiel. Durch die Analyse von Produktion, Verbreitung, Konsum und Regulierung von Aromastoffen treten die sich verändernden und sich zwischen unterschiedlichen Interessengruppen unterscheidenden Verständnisweisen der Begriffe „natürlich", „synthetisch" und „künstlich" zu Tage. Begriffe, die bis heute nur schwer zu fassen sind, aber dennoch regelmäßig gebraucht werden.

Content: It is difficult to imagine food today without flavorings, whether natural, synthetic, or artificial. But at the same time, they are substances that society is viewing increasingly critically and whose chemical and industrial roots are under scrutiny. This volume tells the story of flavor production and regulation, discussing the potential naturalization of synthetic flavorings.

Content: By the time West Berlin was declared the European Capital of Culture of 1988, a heavily internationalized literary scene had already been developing on both sides of the Wall. In fifteen contributions, this volume traces the literary journey taken by the front, island, and capital city to become a future metropolis by looking at numerous case studies, focusing on authors who lived or were guests in Berlin in the 1970s and 1980s.

Content: Die Literaturszene im Berlin der 1970er und 1980er Jahre lässt sich auf beiden Seiten der Mauer durch umfangreiche Internationalisierungsprozesse beschreiben: Schrittweise, mit einem Höhepunkt gegen Ende der 1980er Jahre, bildeten sich Infrastrukturen heraus, die insbesondere West-Berlin als Aufenthalts- und Begegnungsort für internationale Autor:innen attraktiv machten, während sich auch auf DDR-Seite eine internationalisierte literarische Szene entwickelte. Die 15 literaturwissenschaftlichen Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes untersuchen exemplarisch anhand von Institutionen, Programmen oder kulturpolitischen Verträgen die Beschaffenheit bilateraler Beziehungen auf literarischem Gebiet in beiden Teilen der Stadt und beleuchten die Rolle unterschiedlicher Akteure. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt dabei auf den internationalen Schriftsteller:innen, die als Gäste oder Einwohner:innen in der geteilten Stadt zugegen waren und deren Berlin-Erfahrungen in der internationalen Wahrnehmung ihrer Werke eine besondere Stellung einnehmen. Ziel ist es, die inneren Dynamiken und Verflechtungen jener internationalen Literaturbeziehungen zu ermitteln, die das heutige literarische Leben in Berlin in Form einer heterogenen Community erst ermöglicht haben.

Content: You hold in your hands the most original guide to understanding the oil and gas world – from exploration and production to the related economics and geopolitics. Tim Daley has spent years travelling the world and living as an expatriate in a quest to secure resources and meet humanity’s energy demands. After several decades in the hydrocarbon business, he was keen to write a book about his experiences in an easily accessible language, enabling everyone to grasp the technicalities involved in evaluating the resources that lie beneath our feet. If you want to learn how hydrocarbons are discovered and produced, Tim’s explanations have the added colour of vivid descriptions of the sites discussed and allow you to meet some of the most important characters in the industry, and to gain new insights into this global industry. In addition, the depictions of key events and locations add an element of national politics and travelogue feel. This book is intended for all members of the general public interested in how hydrocarbon resources are discovered, providing a concise account of how oil geologists view the subsurface, and illustrated by the author’s personal experiences in countries around the world. The book will also be of interest to ex-oil industry workers, allow geologists to compare the author’s experiences to their own, and provide non-geologists essential insights into how the oil is won. Written in an informal style, it makes for a relaxing yet informative reading experience.

Series Statement: Climate Change Management,

Content: This book sheds new light on the limits of adaptation to anthropogenic climate change. The respective chapters demonstrate the variety of and interconnections between factors that together constitute the constraints on adaptation. The book pays special attention to evidence that illustrates how and where such limits have become apparent or are in the process of establishing themselves, and which indicates future trends and contexts that might prove helpful in understanding adaptation limits. In particular, the book provides an overview of the most important challenges and opportunities regarding adaptation limits at different temporal, jurisdictional, and spatial scales, while also highlighting case studies, projects and best practices that show how they may be addressed. The book presents innovative multi-disciplinary research and gathers evidence from various countries, sectors and regions, the goal being to advance our understanding of the limits to adaptation and ways to overcome or modify them.

Series Statement: The Urban Book Series,

Content: This edited book investigates the interrelations of disaster impacts, resilience and security in an urban context. Urban as a term captures megacities, cities, and generally, human settlements, that are characterised by concentration of quantifiable and non-quantifiable subjects, objects and value attributions to them. The scope is to narrow down resilience from an all-encompassing concept to applied ways of scientifically attempting to ‚measure’ this type of disaster related resilience. 28 chapters in this book reflect opportunities and doubts of the disaster risk science community regarding this ‚measurability’. Therefore, examples utilising both quantitative and qualitative approaches are juxtaposed. This book concentrates on features that are distinct characteristics of resilience, how they can be measured and in what sense they are different to vulnerability and risk parameters. Case studies in 11 countries either use a hypothetical pre-event estimation of resilience or are addressing a ‘revealed resilience’ evident and documented after an event. Such information can be helpful to identify benchmarks or margins of impact magnitudes and related recovery times, volumes and qualities of affected populations and infrastructure.

Content: Neptune's Laboratory traces shifts over the last two centuries in the imagination of ocean space by scientists, policy makers, and the public. Oceans gained prominence in the public's imagination in the early nineteenth century as scientists first probed the depths, and marine fisheries were industrialized. It wasn't long, however, before some fishermen, policy makers, and scientists grew concerned that fish stocks could be exhausted. In Europe, these fears gave rise to new internationalist aspirations as scientists sought to conduct research on an ocean-wide scale and nations struggled to protect their fisheries. The internationalist program for marine research was disrupted by the start of World War I. Nevertheless, we find a resurgence of internationalist dreams in evocations of a Pacific World at world fairs on the west coast of the United States, both during the interwar period and as late as the 1960s. With the arrival of the Cold War, ocean spaces were re-cast as both battlefields, post-apocalyptic living spaces, and as utopian frontiers by scientific visionaries, policy makers, and the public. Late into the twentieth century, dreams of a new global political internationalism, with ocean spaces and marine science as its foundation, persisted.

Content: This lively and engaging book explains the things you have to know in order to read empirical papers in the social and health sciences, as well as the techniques you need to build statistical models of your own. The discussion in the book is organized around published studies, as are many of the exercises. Relevant journal articles are reprinted at the back of the book. Freedman makes a thorough appraisal of the statistical methods in these papers and in a variety of other examples. He illustrates the principles of modelling, and the pitfalls. The discussion shows you how to think about the critical issues - including the connection (or lack of it) between the statistical models and the real phenomena. The book is written for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in statistics, as well as students and professionals in the social and health sciences
