Olofsson J: The Forgotten Sense / B

The Forgotten Sense

The New Science of Smell

How can a country industrialise without causing environmental damage? How do development professionals ensure they act in the interests of recipients, rather than their own donor country? And how is the humanitarian project of development complicated by ideological objectives? The fourth edition of this renowned textbook covers the most urgent issues facing the field of development. With the return of Russia as a global actor, renewed conflict in the Middle East, and global inequality exacerbated by climate change and global health crises, the questions underpinning international development are increasingly fraught. For most of its history, international development was shaped by Cold War competition; at the turn of the twenty-first century, the paradigm shifted as China assumed a greater role, and post-9/11 US development initiatives were intended to reduce militancy in the Middle East. As these tensions return to the world stage, it is ever more important for students to ask what development is - or should be - and what it can achieve. With increased attention to gender and postcolonial perspectives and strong coverage of security, economics and global order, this book is essential reading for students of international development.

60 Second Memory Challenge: Volume 11

Why do we use eighty-year-old metrics to understand today’s economy? The ways that statisticians and governments measure the economy were developed in the 1940s, when the urgent economic problems were entirely different from those of today. In The Measure of Progress, Diane Coyle argues that the framework underpinning today’s economic statistics is so outdated that it functions as a distorting lens, or even a set of blinkers. When policymakers rely on such an antiquated conceptual tool, how can they measure, understand, and respond with any precision to what is happening in today’s digital economy? Coyle makes the case for a new framework, one that takes into consideration current economic realities. Coyle explains why economic statistics matter. They are essential for guiding better economic policies; they involve questions of freedom, justice, life, and death. Governments use statistics that affect people’s lives in ways large and small. The metrics for economic growth were developed when a lack of physical rather than natural capital was the binding constraint on growth, intangible value was less important, and the pressing economic policy challenge was managing demand rather than supply. Today’s challenges are different. Growth in living standards in rich economies has slowed, despite remarkable innovation, particularly in digital technologies. As a result, politics is contentious and democracy strained. Coyle argues that to understand the current economy, we need different data collected in a different framework of categories and definitions, and she offers some suggestions about what this would entail. Only with a new approach to measurement will we be able to achieve the right kind of growth for the benefit of all.

Counting What Really Matters

The Measure of Progress

Eine der größten Fragen der Wissenschaft steht vielleicht in naher Zukunft vor der Aufklärung. Wie und in welchem Umfeld ist das Leben auf der Erde entstanden?
Plausible Szenarien für die ersten Schritte auf dem Weg zum Leben können nur dann ausreichend beschrieben werden, wenn der Umgebungsraum bekannt ist, in dem die Entwicklungen stattgefunden haben. Aus geologischer Sicht boten beste Voraussetzungen für die Entstehung der ersten Zellen tief reichende, wassergefüllte Spalten der frühen kontinentalen Erdkruste, die auch heute noch alle Anforderungen für eine komplexe organische Chemie erfüllen.
Der Erstautor nimmt seine Leser mit auf seine ganz persönliche Reise hin zur Antwort auf die vielleicht größte Frage der Biologie. So erklärt er nicht nur, wie die einzelnen Puzzleteile der Entwicklung des Lebens zusammenpassen, sondern berichtet über seine persönlichen Erfahrungen in diesem schwierigen Forschungsfeld. Während die ersten sieben Kapitel in der 2. Auflage nur überarbeitet wurden, ist das achte Kapitel vollständig neu konzipiert. Hierin wird in einer logischen Verknüpfung der bislang bekannten Fakten unter Berücksichtigung heutiger biochemischer Zusammenhänge ein Weg aufgezeigt, der zur Speicherung genetischer Informationen in einer ersten Zelle geführt haben kann.
Mit Kap. 9 und 10 sind zwei zusätzliche Beiträge von Christian Mayer ergänzt. Hierin eröffnet er eine grundlegende Diskussion über die Definition `Was ist Leben´, indem er die Beziehung von Ordnung und Komplexität in den Mittelpunkt stellt. Darüber hinaus beschreibt er die Bedeutung periodisch auftretender Einflüsse auf die gesamte Entwicklung des Lebens.

Die Autoren
Ulrich C. Schreiber (i.R.) war Professor für Geologie an der Universität Duisburg-Essen. Die thematischen Schwerpunkte der klassischen Geologie mit Vulkanologie, Tektonik und Regionaler Geologie verknüpfte er frühzeitig mit ökologischen Fragestellungen bis hin zur tiefen Biosphäre.
Christian Mayer ist zwar rechnerisch im Ruhestand, aber im Rahmen einer Vertragsverlängerung weiterhin als Universitätsprofessor für Physikalische Chemie an der Universität Duisburg-Essen tätig. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte sind unter anderem selbstorganisierende molekulare Prozesse und die präbiotische Chemie.
Die Forschungsergebnisse beider Autoren wurden vielfach international publiziert und in zahlreichen Wissenschaftssendungen aufgegriffen.

eine neue Theorie zur Entstehung des Lebens

Das Geheimnis um die erste Zelle

From a leading expert on child development, a radical evolutionary perspective on how childhood experiences shape later life. Children who grow up in troubled circumstances-experiencing deprivation or instability, living in a dangerous neighborhood or an abusive family-are more prone to aggression, recklessness, and sexual promiscuity later in life. To most of us, the lesson is clear: adverse childhood conditions make human development go awry. In The Nature of Nurture, renowned developmental psychologist Jay Belsky challenges this interpretation and offers an exciting alternative based on Darwinian theory. There is no reason to assume, he points out, that the psychology of "well-behaved" people is normal while that of "antisocial" adults is aberrant. Instead, the supposedly dysfunctional behaviors correlated with childhood adversity could well be ingenious adaptations to harsh environments. If you are surrounded by danger and uncertainty, then being quick to lash out at potential threats and having lots of offspring at an early age are good ways to maximize your reproductive chances. From an evolutionary perspective, having just a few children and lavishing care on each works well in a stable world, but not in a perilous one. Belsky exposes the romanticism underlying our idealized notions that "natural" equals "good" and that nature intends to maximize human happiness and well-being. When instead we take seriously the fact that humans, too, have been shaped by evolutionary pressures, we can better understand why, how, and for whom childhood experience shapes later life.

Studies in Education and Religion in Ancient and Pre-Modern History in the Mediterranean and Its Environs

This volume explores educational practices within the three major monotheistic religions, cultures, traditions, and languages. Through case studies, the contributors illustrate how Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions shaped educational ideals, fostered scholarly communities, and guided students through structured curricula. They examine the role of literate elites in transmitting classical knowledge and patristic authority, and how pedagogical legacies contributed to spiritual development and responded to social and religious crises. Aimed at scholars of history, religion, and humanities, students and general readers, this collection of essays offers valuable insights into the enduring and evolving nature of pedagogical values across diverse historical contexts, and features profiles of influential educators such as rabbis, church fathers, exegetes, mystics, jurists, and polymaths.

Das Tierreich ist viel reicher, als man denkt! Zu jeder Schmetterlingsart gehören vier oder fünf Raupenstadien, die alle unterschiedlich sind, und dazu noch eine völlig anders aussehende Puppe. Auch Käfer, Krabben, Frösche und Vögel verändern sich im Lauf ihres Lebens. Ein nahezu magischer Prozess, der Metamorphose genannt wird.
In diesem Buch wird verraten, wie aus einem winzigen Ei ein wunderschöner Seestern oder aus einem kahlen Küken ein bunter Papagei wird. Die meisterhaften Illustrationen lassen uns die unterschiedlichsten Verwandlungen von Tieren aller Art miterleben, eine noch wundersamer als die andere. Der Reichtum in der Welt der Metamorphose ist geradezu unerschöpflich! Opulent und prächtig ins Bild gesetzt von Merlijne Marell.
