Comparisons in Household Food Security - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Comparisons in Household Food Security - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book provides an overview of research in the study of household food security in the United States and India. An estimated 85.1 percent of American households were food secure throughout the entire year in 2011, meaning that they had access at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members. The remaining households (14.9 percent) were food insecure, meaning that the food intake of one or more household members was reduced and their eating patterns were disrupted at times during the year because the household lacked money and other resources for food. Comparatively, this book provides a quantitative assessment of food security using a large household-level expenditure survey conducted by the Government of India during 2004/2005. The analysis tests the impact of several key assumptions required to estimate actual calories consumed from the expenditure data.

Monotheism, Intolerance, and the Path to Pluralistic Politics - Christopher A. Haw - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Monotheism, Intolerance, and the Path to Pluralistic Politics - Christopher A. Haw - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Discussions of monotheism often consider its bigotry toward other gods as a source of conflict, or emphasize its universality as a source of peaceful tolerance. Both approaches, however, ignore the combined danger and liberation in monotheism''s ''intolerance.'' In this volume, Christopher Haw reframes this important argument. He demonstrates the value of rejecting paradigms of inclusivity in favor of an agonistic pluralism and intolerance of absolutism. Haw proposes a model that retains liberal, pluralistic principles while acknowledging their limitations, and he relates them to theologies latent in political ideas. His volume offers a nuanced, evolutionary, and historical understanding of the biblical tradition''s emergence and its political consequences with respect to violence. It suggests how we can mediate impasses between liberal and conservative views in culture wars; between liberal inclusivity and conservative decisionism; and, on the religious front, between apologetics for exclusive monotheism and critiques of its intolerance.

Randomization Tests - Eugene Edgington - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Randomization Tests - Eugene Edgington - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

The number of innovative applications of randomization tests in various fields and recent developments in experimental design, significance testing, computing facilities, and randomization test algorithms have necessitated a new edition of Randomization Tests . Updated, reorganized, and revised, the text emphasizes the irrelevance and implausibility of the random sampling assumption for the typical experiment in three completely rewritten chapters. It also discusses factorial designs and interactions and combines repeated-measures and randomized block designs in one chapter. The authors focus more attention on the practicality of N-of-1 randomization tests and the availability of user-friendly software to perform them. In addition, they provide an overview of free and commercial computer programs for all of the tests presented in the book. Building on the previous editions that have served as standard textbooks for more than twenty-five years, Randomization Tests, Fourth Edition includes downloadable resources of up-to-date randomization test programs that facilitate application of the tests to experimental data. This CD-ROM enables students to work out problems that have been added to the chapters and helps professors teach the basics of randomization tests and devise tasks for assignments and examinations.

Food Policy and Food Security - Alexander Nikulin - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Food Policy and Food Security - Alexander Nikulin - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of Russian food policy. Food policy is defined as the way government policy influences food production and distribution. Russia’s food policy is important for several reasons. The first and most obvious reason is that a dysfunctional food policy is symptomatic of larger political and societal problems. A failing food policy is often the precursor to political instability. Russian food policy is also important is due to the agricultural recovery since 2004 that has allowed Russia to become self-sufficient in grain production. Being food-sufficient in grain means that Russia is not drawing upon global grain supply. Even more important, Russia now produces surpluses and has become a global grain supplier. Moreover, the agricultural recovery has made the country food secure, traditionally defined as having enough food for a healthy life. An analysis of food policy reveals that the structure of food production has changed with the emergence of mega-farms called agroholdings that are horizontally and vertically integrated. Agroholdings represent a concentration of capital and land, with a small number of farms producing large percentages of total food output. The book explores alternatives to the industrial agricultural model by discussing different variants of sustainable agriculture.A final importance of Russian food policy concerns food trade. Russia has become more protectionist since 2012. The food embargo against Western nations (2014-2017) is one example, so too is import substitution that is a core component of food policy. The book demonstrates the politicalization of external food trade. Food trade and denial of access to the Russian market is used as an instrument of foreign policy to punish countries with whom Russia has disagreements. Current Russian policymakers have food resources to augment, support, and extend national interests abroad. Russia historically has cycled through periods of integration and isolation from the West. This book raises the question whether a new normal has arisen that is characterized by the permanent withdrawal from integration, as evidenced by its nationalist and protectionist food policy. The book is entirely original, rich in detail and broad in scope. It is based on field work, survey data, a wide reading of primary sources and the secondary literature, all of which are linked to important policy questions in development studies and food studies. It is destined to become a classic book on Russian food policy.

Food as Communication / Communication as Food - - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

Food as Communication / Communication as Food - - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

From high-tech kitchen gadgets and magazines to the Food Network, the last few decades have seen a huge rise in food-focused consumption, media, and culture. The discourses surrounding food range from media coverage of school lunchrooms and hunger issues, to news stories about urban gardening or buying organic products at the local farmers market. Food is no longer viewed merely as a means of survival. International and comprehensive in approach, this volume is the first book-length study of food from a communication perspective. Scholars examine and explore this emerging field to provide definitive and foundational examples of how food operates as a system of communication, and how communication theory and practices can be understood by considering food in this way. In doing so, the book serves to inspire future dialogues on the subject due to its vast array of ideas about food and its relationship to our communication practices.

Food Justice and the Industrial Food System - Michael B Elmes - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Food Justice and the Industrial Food System - Michael B Elmes - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Organizational Food Justice: Exploring Social Movements and Resistance to Industrial Agriculture presents food justice as resistance to the current industrial food system in the US from the perspective of discourse and practice. The book frames the injustices of the current industrial food system with an emphasis on growing levels of hunger and obesity in the US, poor wages among farm and food workers, abuse of farmworker labor, and unsustainable farm incomes. Organizational Food Justice examines the industrial food system from the perspective of discourse and practice and introduces food-related social movements that have arisen since the 1960s as resistance. These movements include the organic food movement, the Slow Food movement, the labor justice movement (including the rise of the United Farm Workers Organization and, more recently, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers), the Food Sovereignty movement as well as growing interest in urban agriculture (including guerilla gardening) and producer agricultural cooperatives. To conclude, the book discusses the future of the food system in the US given these varied and competing discourses and practices. While there has been work on social movements that has emphasized discourse and practice, that work has never been contextualized in the wider industrial food system or in relation to other forms of resistance to the system or books that look at the food system from a discursive or practice perspective with respect to organizational or field change. This unique book offers a critical perspective on the industrial food system and educates readers around how different organizations are practicing food justice whilst also offering readers insight into the future of food system given these competing discourses and practices.
