How to Be a Part-Time Farmer

One Foot in the Field

A Practical Introduction

Agribusiness and Entrepreneurship

A lesson-packed success story for the twenty-first century, from a ninth-generation Kentuckian who imported the Silicon Valley playbook to the heartland, revealing how the entrepreneurial mindset can be applied anywhere, and even to our most stubborn industries. In his case: trash. When Nate Morris decided to build a business, he wasn’t looking to disrupt—he was looking for a problem to solve. Morris believed that the bigger the problem, the more the market would reward him for solving it. And one of the biggest problems, he came to believe, was one that every person, business, and community dealt with on a daily basis, but which was often overlooked: waste. American Trash is the moving story of how a ninth-generation Kentuckian—a boy who grew up being called “white trash”—applied the innovative thinking we associate with Silicon Valley startups to the ancient problem of waste. Raised on the scrappy resourcefulness of his grandfather, president of their local autoworkers’ union, Morris built Rubicon, a waste management company powered by digital technology. Unlike the bloated industry titans of yesterday, Rubicon was asset light: It wouldn’t own landfills, so it would be free of the perverse incentive to fill the land with chemical-laden trash, and it wouldn’t own trucks, so it would support “mom and pop” hauler businesses. Most important, it would be based in Georgia and Kentucky, thousands of miles from the near-sighted culture of Silicon Valley. In telling his story, Morris shows how he combined the great tradition of American entrepreneurship with the lessons of the digital economy—and did it far from the coastal bastions of the technology elite. The result is a blueprint for those seeking to tackle our biggest challenges with creative, free-market solutions.

Human Rights Law in Perspective

Proportionality Under the UK Human Rights Act

In ihrem bisher persönlichsten Buch spricht Florence Given über eines der letzten Tabus des modernen Feminismus: weibliche Konkurrenz.'Für wen hält die sich eigentlich?' - jede Frau kennt diesen Satz. Er soll bremsen, verunsichern und klein halten: Sei nicht zu laut, nicht zu ehrgeizig, nimm bloß nicht zu viel Raum ein. Florence Given zeigt, wie tief Frauen diese Mechanismen verinnerlicht haben und warum gerade Frauen diese gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen gegeneinander verwenden. Sie fragt sich: Wie würden Frauen leben, wenn ihnen die Meinung anderer egal wäre? Wozu wären sie in der Lage? Wie unverschämt gut würde sich ihr Leben anfühlen?Ein emotionaler Weckruf, der Frauen dazu empowert, endlich kompromisslos das Leben zu führen, das sie wirklich führen wollen.

This book looks at how the law allows donors to establish perpetual charitable trusts, bearing the donor's name, and how it rewards and encourages the pursuit of post-mortem identity. It considers the policy questions raised by post-mortem identity. The law in this area is often complex and uncertain, and that legal unpredictably might deter donors from giving. Attention to post-mortem identity suggests that the law should be made as reliable and predictable as possible. This book theorises the motivation for post-mortem identity and works through its legal implications. It considers the even deeper questions in play and the particular problems which surround post-mortem identity. For example, a donor motivated by the prospect of legal immortality might be led towards bad charity. The donor might try to create a vain or prejudiced organisation. The book looks at the context of these issues, the policy challenges faced by the law, and the way in which the rules need to control and limit the donor's wishes.

Cornerstone on...

Inquests and inquiries form a distinct area of law in which the aim of the tribunal is to discover what happened, rather than who is right, wrong, or at fault. Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries provides an accessible, go-to guide to this area of practice, useful for both practitioners and parties involved. It looks at the field as a whole, acknowledging the commonalities between inquests and public inquiries, and providing a practical approach to each. The book also covers the field of parliamentary inquiries.

Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries

Gudang Garam follows the life of Gudang Garam founder Surya Wonowidjoyo's family through his early years, beginning in the early 1920s when his family moved from China Fuzhou to Indonesia, and traces his life from utter poverty as an Indonesian diaspora to founding the cigarette factory in Indonesia in the 1980s. In a parallel story, we follow the life of a young beautiful ballerina- Lelly, who eventually becomes the third wife of Surya in a romantic love story.

A fairer, healthier, more caring and sustainable society is entirely within our grasp. The renowned co-author of The Spirit Level shows us the way.'An uplifting vision for solving inequality that benefits everyone' ANDY BURNHAM'Poverty and inequality are at the heart of all our problems. Kate Pickett's book shows how tackling them must be at the heart of our solutions too' ZACK POLANSKI'Just what these times are crying out for' KATE RAWORTHHow do we ensure that everyone has good health and receives the care they need? How do we provide education that allows every child to flourish? How do we ensure safety, justice and a sustainable environment for all?In this inspiring book, world-leading social scientist Kate Pickett shows that to make a good society - in which everyone has what they need to be well, and everyone would be better off - we must prioritise the health, care, education and rehabilitation of those who have the least and suffer the most. Drawing on decades of proven solutions and success stories from around the globe, The Good Society cuts to the essence of the challenges we face and presents us with a practical, perspective-shifting vision for how to tackle them.'Genuinely transformative.

The Good Society

This is the essential practitioner's guide to animal welfare and animal protection law in the Crown Court and magistrates' courts of England. Animal law is a roughly stitched patchwork of domestic acts, regulations, orders and statutory codes, interlaced with international treaties, regulations and directives. The resultant body of law is immense: with acts still in force today dating back to the 1800s and dozens of enabling clauses permitting the tapestry constantly to evolve. Sometimes prosecutors use the law to protect animals, for instance by prosecuting those thought to have abused them. Other times defence advocates are those protecting animals, for instance by defending allegedly dangerous dogs from destruction. This guide sets out the law and provides practical advice for those on either side of the courtroom. The guide's primary focus is on criminal cases that concern kept animals, farmed animals, animals in science, wild animals, dangerous dogs and animal protection activists. It also features chapters on related civil orders in the magistrates' courts, as well as a practical chapter on funding in animal-related cases. This is the only guide of its kind, written as a handbook for frontline practitioners in England's criminal courts. It draws on decades of experience and is written by two experts, in consultation with an array of specialists in each practice area. This makes it a must-have book for anyone practising or wishing to practise animal welfare or animal protection law.

Palgrave Studies in Technology and Innovation in Africa

Over the past two decades,&nbsp;Southern&nbsp;African countries have gained&nbsp;increasing recognition&nbsp;in&nbsp;global agricultural markets, yet they continue to face significant&nbsp;internal&nbsp;and&nbsp;external&nbsp;challenges. Domestically, low productivity, limited production capacity,&nbsp;and&nbsp;weak trade structures constrain agricultural growth&nbsp;and&nbsp;competitiveness. Externally, restricted access to agricultural finance&nbsp;and&nbsp;modern technologies, together with&nbsp;institutional limitations, further impede progress. Moreover, climate change disproportionately affects farming&nbsp;systems&nbsp;across the region,&nbsp;intensifying vulnerability&nbsp;and&nbsp;food&nbsp;insecurity. This contributed volume brings together scholarly research on&nbsp;sustainable&nbsp;food&nbsp;systems&nbsp;in&nbsp;Southern&nbsp;Africa, key&nbsp;challenges&nbsp;to sustainability,&nbsp;and&nbsp;the policy frameworks shaping the region’s agricultural transformation. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of sustainability, the rural economy, food supply chains and agritech, as well as on business in Africa more broadly.Tanyaradzwa Rukasha
