Series Statement: New Ecologies for the Twenty-First Century : 42

Content: The Confédération Paysanne, one of France's largest farmers' unions, has successfully fought against genetically modified organisms (GMOs), but unlike other allied movements, theirs has been led by producers rather than consumers. In Food, Farms, and Solidarity, Chaia Heller analyzes the group's complex strategies and campaigns, including a call for a Europe-wide ban on GM crops and hormone-treated beef, and a protest staged at a McDonald's. Her study of the Confédération Paysanne shows the challenges small farms face in a postindustrial agricultural world. Heller also reveals how the language the union uses to argue against GMOs encompasses more than the risks they pose; emphasizing solidarity has allowed farmers to focus on food as a cultural practice and align themselves with other workers. Heller's examination of the Confédération Paysanne's commitment to a vision of alter-globalization, the idea of substantive alternatives to neoliberal globalization, demonstrates how ecological and social justice can be restored in the world.

Content: How well did civilian morale stand up to the pressures of total war and what factors were important to it? In this important work, Robert Mackay offers a robust rejection of recent contentions that civilian morale fell a long way short of the favourable picture presented at the time and in hundreds of books and films ever since. Whilst acknowledging that some negative attitudes and behaviours existed - panic and defeatism, ration-cheating and black-marketeering, looting, absenteeism and strikes - the author argues that these involved a very small minority of the population. In fact, most people behaved well, and this should be the real measure of civilian morale, rather than the failings of the few who behaved badly.This book shows that before the War the official prognosis was pessimistic but that measures to bolster morale were taken nevertheless, in particular with regard to protection against air raids. An examination of a range of indicative factors concludes that morale fluctuated but was in the main good, right until the end of the War. In explaining this phenomenon, due credit is accorded to government policies for the maintenance of morale, but special emphasis is given to the 'invisible' chain of patriotic feeling that held the nation together during its time of trial.This book will give students of the Second World War new insights into how and why ordinary people coped with the intolerable.

Content: Eine Entdeckungsreise durch Gene, Genome und Verwandtschaften Ist unsere Persönlichkeit ererbt oder geschaffen? Was verrät die Erbsubstanz DNA über die Geschichte des Menschen? Welche Bedeutung hat das Klonschaf Dolly? Und werden wir schon bald Designerbabys nach Wunsch bestellen? In 50 klaren und unterhaltsamen Essays destilliert Mark Henderson, Wissenschaftsredakteur der Times, die zentralen Konzepte der noch jungen Wissenschaft Genetik heraus. Indem er den Bogen von Darwins Theorie der Evolution und Mendels Kreuzungsexperimenten bis zu den jüngsten, oft kontroversen, wissenschaftlichen Fortschritten dieser Disziplin schlägt, zeigt er auf, wie sehr die Kenntnis der genetischen Maschinerie unser Verständnis vom Leben auf der Erde verändert hat. Voller Beispiele aus dem Alltag, erhellender Zitate und anschaulicher grafischer Darstellungen entfaltet 50 Schlüsselideen Genetik ein breites Panorama. Das Buch vermittelt ein Bild von der Entstehung und Entwicklung des Lebens, indem es zunächst die Geheimnisse der Chromosomen und der DNA wie auch des menschlichen Genoms aufdeckt erläutert, wie durch die Wechselwirkung von Erbe und Umwelt unsere Persönlichkeit geformt wird offenbart, wie die Genetik uns beim Kampf gegen Krebs, AIDS, Malaria und resistente Keime helfen kann erkundet die weitreichenden ethischen Fragen um so kontroverse Themen wie Stammzellforschung, Klonen und die Möglichkeit künstlichen Lebens erhellt die jüngsten Erkenntnisse zu DNA-Schrott, Evo Devo und Epigenetik und wagt einen Blick in die Zukunft der menschlichen Rasse Leicht verständlich, informativ und absolut faszinierend, liefert das Buch nicht nur einen aktuellen Überblick über diesen bedeutsamen Wissenschaftszweig, sondern lässt auch erkennen, was jeden von uns so einzigartig macht.
