Nutritionism The science and politics of dietary advice

Nutritionism The science and politics of dietary advice

'Gyorgy Scrinis exposes the folly of the reductionist approach and proposes an alternative food quality paradigm based on respecting traditional dietary patterns and reducing technological processing. It may offend nutritionists and will upset the food industry but it could also herald a delicious revolution in our ability to eat well. ' - Dr Rosemary Stanton OAM NutritionistFrom the fear of 'bad nutrients' such as fat and cholesterol to the celebration of supposedly health-enhancing vitamins and omega-3 fats our understanding of food and health has been dominated by a reductive scientific focus on nutrients. It is on this basis that butter and eggs have been vilified yet highly processed foods such as margarine have been promoted as being healthier than whole foods. Gyorgy Scrinis argues that this ideology of nutritionism has narrowed and distorted our appreciation of food quality while promoting nutrition confusion and nutritional anxieties. The food industry exploits these anxieties by nutritionally modifying their food products and marketing them with nutritional and health claims. Through a fascinating investigation into such issues as the butter versus margarine debate the battle between low-fat low-carb low-calorie and low-GI weight-loss diets the limitations of dietary guidelines and the search for the optimal dietary pattern - from Mediterranean and vegetarian to paleo diets - Scrinis builds a revealing history of the scientific social and economic factors driving our modern fascination with nutrition and explores alternative ways of understanding food quality. | Nutritionism The science and politics of dietary advice

Intelligence Race And Genetics Conversations With Arthur R. Jensen

Intelligence Race And Genetics Conversations With Arthur R. Jensen

In a series of provocative conversations with Skeptic magazine Ssenior editor Frank Miele renowned University of California-Berkeley psychologist Arthur R. Jensen details the evolution of his thoughts on the nature of intelligence tracing an intellectual odyssey that leads from the programs of the Great Society to the Bell Curve Wars and beyond. Miele cross-examines Jensen's views on general intelligence (the g factor) racial differences in IQ cultural bias in IQ tests and whether differences in IQ are due primarily to heredity or to remediable factors such as poverty and discrimination. With characteristic frankness Jensen also presents his view of the proper role of scientific facts in establishing public policy such as Affirmative Action. 'Jensenism' the assertion that heredity plays an undeniably greater role than environmental factors in racial (and other) IQ differences has entered the dictionary and also made Jensen a bitterly controversial figure. Nevertheless Intelligence Race and Genetics carefully underscores the dedicated lifetime of scrupulously scientific research that supports Jensen's conclusions. | Intelligence Race And Genetics Conversations With Arthur R.

Regulating Gig Work Decent Labour Standards in a World of On-demand Work

Regulating Gig Work Decent Labour Standards in a World of On-demand Work

Digital revolution demands new approaches to regulating work. The ‘Uberisation’ of work is not in reality a new phenomenon. It reintroduces the practices of ‘on-demand’ engagement of labour common prior to the development of continuing employment. What is new however is the capacity of digital technology to engage labour in ways that avoid characterisation as employment according to the legal tests developed in the 20th century. This book tackles the challenge of ensuring that the emerging tribes of ‘gig’ workers in labour markets across the globe are afforded decent standards of work. This book discusses how to provide decent conditions and safe working standards for on-demand workers engaged through digital platforms. It interrogates the rise of gig work and the legal strategies that might be engaged to deal with the risk that on-demand work will fall and remain outside of employment protections. It draws on observations of practices across the globe but focusses particularly on regulatory solutions developed in Australia. The book will be a useful reference to policy making and legal reforms to address vulnerabilities of gig workers. | Regulating Gig Work Decent Labour Standards in a World of On-demand Work

Progress and Performance in the Primary Classroom

Progress and Performance in the Primary Classroom

First published in 1980 Progress and Performance in the Primary Classroom assesses the performance of primary schoolchildren in a range of study skills as well as on the more conventional tests of mathematics language use and reading. The findings indicate that the more successful styles are used by the more experienced teachers who manage to increase the amount of contact with the pupils by a variety of organizational strategies. While pupils who receive the greatest amount of class teaching do best on mathematics there is no evidence to suggest that the characteristics of teaching valued by critics of modern primary practice exert any significant influence on pupil progress. The relationship between pupil progress and behaviour shows some remarkable patterns. For example it was found that children who work on average one day per week less than other children still make the same progress in basic skills as the others. Such findings suggest that there is a need to examine how far teaching in the junior school is sufficiently stimulating and challenging while at the same time acknowledging the difficulties of improving the situation while class sizes remain relatively high. This book will be of interest to students of education and pedagogy as well as to teachers.

Children as Climate Citizens A Sociolegal Approach to Public Participation

Children as Climate Citizens A Sociolegal Approach to Public Participation

This book provides a socio-legal analysis of the public participation of children in climate change matters whilst developing a range of tools through which their participation can be increased. Climate change affects young people in many ways: causing severe threats to child survival health and wellbeing food security and nutrition and access to education. But this book maintains that children and youth are not to be identified solely with their vulnerability to climate change. They are also key stakeholders in the sustainable implementation of long-term climate change policies and their inclusion in decision-making processes is a measure of intergenerational equity. Children’s rights law is vague about the right to public participation or the environmental rights of children as such. In response this book examines the often-informal network of pathways through which the public participation of children takes place: from high level conferences and governance structures to grassroots youth movements and climate change litigation. Exploring the difficulties but also the opportunities and aspirations of children as citizens challenging the current climate change regime the book proposes legal and policy tools for children’s participation in global climate change governance as it outlines a concept of children’s climate citizenship. This book will appeal to scholars in the areas of sociolegal studies environmental and climate change law children’s rights and social movements as well as policy makers and young people with interests in climate activism. | Children as Climate Citizens A Sociolegal Approach to Public Participation

School Food Politics in Mexico The Corporatization of Obesity and Healthy Eating Policies

School Food Politics in Mexico The Corporatization of Obesity and Healthy Eating Policies

Intertwining policy analysis and ethnography José Tenorio examines how and why now the promotion of healthy lifestyles has been positioned as an ideal ‘solution’ to obesity and how this shapes the preparation sale and consumption of food in schools in Mexico. This book situates obesity as a structural problem enabled by market-driven policy change problematizing the focus on individual behavior change which underpins current obesity policy. It argues that the idea of healthy lifestyles draws attention away from the economic and political roots of obesity shifting blame onto an ‘uneducated’ population. Deploying Foucault’s concept of dispositif Tenorio argues that healthy lifestyles functions as an ensemble of mechanisms to deploy representations of reality spaces institutions and subjectivities aligned with market principles constructing individuals both as culprits for what they eat and the prime locus of policy intervention to change diets. He demonstrates how this ensemble enmeshes within the local cultural and economic conditions surrounding the provisioning of food in Mexican schools and how it is contested in the practices around cooking. Expanding the conversation on the politics of food in schools obesity policy and dominant perspectives on the relation between food and health this book is a must-read for scholars of food and nutrition public health and education as well as those with an interest in development studies and policy enactment and outcomes. | School Food Politics in Mexico The Corporatization of Obesity and Healthy Eating Policies

Protein Calories And Development Nutritional Variables In The Economics Of Developing Countries

Protein Calories And Development Nutritional Variables In The Economics Of Developing Countries

Production of world food supplies is related to more complicated socioeconomic variables than have previously been analyzed. Besides traditional inputs of land labor and fertilizer the technological capabilities and a variety of nutritional and other human capital components are significant independent variables in explaining agricultural production in the developing world. The integration of economic analyses with the concepts of nutritional science offers an expanded and effective means for analyzing the complex problems of agricultural production in nutritionally deficient countries. Bernard Schmitt traces the circular relationship between nutrition and human capital labor productivity food production and per capita consumption of calories and protein. He defines the basic nutritional terms that are most useful to economists in analyzing agricultural and foodrelated questions and provides examples that stress the importance of concentrating on nutritional quality as well as gross quantity. Transformations are used to convert quantities into basic nutritional components allowing more meaningful quantitative analyses in an econometric framework. Dr. Schmitt presents a flexible methodology for forecasting commodity production using it to make projections for the developing countries for each major commodity group and to test various policy alternatives such as extensive trade expanded food assistance programs substantial resource or input expansion further expansion of Green Revolution technology and development of alternatives to agriculture. Although he is certain that gains can be accomplished through population control and agricultural advances supplemented by alternative nutritional sources he concludes that conditions in nutritionally deficient countries are unlikely to improve on average through the mid-1980s. | Protein Calories And Development Nutritional Variables In The Economics Of Developing Countries

The Nature of Literary Response Five Readers Reading

The Nature of Literary Response Five Readers Reading

In a rare fusion of literary sensibility with psychological research Norman N. Holland brings to light important data showing how personality in the fullest sense of character development and identity affects the way in which we read and interpret literature. This book will show that readers respond to literature in terms of their own lifestyle character personality or identity. By such terms psychoanalytic writers mean an individual's characteristic way of dealing with the demands of outer and inner reality. Each new experience develops the style while the pre-existing style shapes each new experience. The sub-title of this book Five Readers Reading reflects the fact that the author a distinguished literary critic worked with five student readers using a battery of psychological tests and extensive interviews to study the ways they reacted to classic short stories by Faulkner Hemingway and others. Combining his own interpretation of the stories with his understanding of the readers and their reactions Holland derives four principles that inform literary response. He then goes on to show how these principles apply not just to literary response but to the way personality shapes any experience. The book carries Holland's previous studies of creation and responsive recreation forward to a major theoretical statement. He rejects the artificial idea that one must think of a text (or other event) as separate from its perceivers illustrating the dynamics by which perceiver and perceived mutually create an experience. For critics and students of the psychology of human behavior this is challenging and seminal reading. | The Nature of Literary Response Five Readers Reading

D. H. Lawrence Ecofeminism and Nature

D. H. Lawrence Ecofeminism and Nature

Shortlisted for the ASLE-UKI Prize for Best Academic Monograph This is the first ecocritical book on the works of D. H. Lawrence and also the first to consider the links between nature and gender in the poetry and the novels. In his search for a balanced relationship between male and female characters what role does nature play in the challenges Lawrence offers his readers? How far are the anxieties of his characters in negotiating relationships that might threaten their sense of self derived from the same source as their anxieties about engaging with the Other in nature? Indeed might Lawrence’s metaphors drawn from nature actually be the causes of human actions in The Rainbow for example? The originality of Lawrence’s poetic and narrative strategies for challenging social attitudes towards both nature and gender can be revealed by new approaches offered by ecocritical theory and ecofeminist readings of his books. This book explores ecocritical notions to frame its ecofeminist readings from the difference between the ‘Other’ and ‘otherness’ in The White Peacock and Lady Chatterley’s Lover ‘anotherness’ in the poetry of Birds Beasts and Flowers psychogeography in Sea and Sardinia emergent ecofeminism in Sons and Lovers land and gender in The Boy in the Bush gender dialogics in Kangaroo human animality in Women in Love trees as tests in Aaron’s Rod to ‘radical animism’ in The Plumed Serpent. Finally three late tales provide a reassessment of ecofeminist insights into Lawrence’s work for readers in the present context of the Anthropocene. | D. H. Lawrence Ecofeminism and Nature

Community Food Initiatives A Critical Reparative Approach

Community Food Initiatives A Critical Reparative Approach

This book examines a diverse range of community food initiatives in light of their everyday practices innovations and contestations. While community food initiatives aim to tackle issues like food security food waste or food poverty it is a cause for concern for many when they are framed as the next big solution to the problems of the current industrialised food system. They have been critiqued for being too neoliberal elitist and localist; for not challenging structural inequalities (e. g. racism privilege exclusion colonialism capitalism); and for reproducing these inequalities within their own contexts. This edited volume examines the everyday realities of community food initiatives focusing on both their hopes and their troubles their limitations and failures but also their best intentions missions and models alongside their capacity to create hope in difficult times. The stories presented in this book are grounded in contemporary theoretical debates on neoliberalism diverse economies food justice community and inclusion and social innovation and help to sharpen these as conceptual tools for interrogating community food initiatives as sites of both hope and trouble. The novelty of this volume is its focus on the everyday doings of these initiatives in particular places and contexts with different constraints and opportunities. This grounded relational and place-based approach allows us to move beyond more traditional framings in which community food initiatives are either applauded for their potential or criticized for their limitations. It enables researchers and practitioners to explore how community food initiatives can realize their potential for creating alternative food futures and generates innovative pathways for theorising the mutual interplay of food production and consumption. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of critical food studies food security public health and nutrition as well as human geographers sociologists and anthropologists with an interest in food. | Community Food Initiatives A Critical Reparative Approach

Big Data and Competition Law Market Power Assessment in the Data-Driven Economy

Big Data and Competition Law Market Power Assessment in the Data-Driven Economy

Recent studies on competition law and digital markets reveal that accumulating personal information through data collection and acquisition methods benefits consumers considerably. Free of charge fast and personalised services and products are offered to consumers online. Collected data is now an indispensable part of online businesses to the point that a new economy a data-driven sector has emerged. Many markets such as the social network search engine online advertising and e-commerce are regarded as data-driven markets in which the utilisation of Big Data is a requisite for the success of operations. However the accumulation and use of data brings competition law concerns as they contribute to market power in the online world resulting in a few technology giants gaining unprecedented market power due to the Big Data accumulation indirect network effects and the creation of online ecosystems. As technology giants have billions of consumers worldwide data-driven markets are truly global. In these data-driven markets technology giants abuse their dominant positions but existing competition law tools seem ineffective in addressing market power and assessing abusive behaviour related to Big Data. This book argues that a novel approach to the data-driven sector must be developed through the application of competition law rules to address this. It argues that current and potential conflicts can be mitigated by extending the competition law assessment beyond the current competition law tools to offer a modernised and unified approach to the Big Data–related competition issues. Promoting new legal tests for addressing the market power of technology giants and assessing abusive behaviour in data-driven markets this book advocates for cooperation between competition and data protection authorities. It will be of interest to students academics and practitioners with an interest in competition law and data protection. | Big Data and Competition Law Market Power Assessment in the Data-Driven Economy
