The Glycemic Index Applications in Practice

The Glycemic Index Applications in Practice

In 1981 David Jenkins Thomas Wolever and colleagues introduced the concept of the glycemic index (GI) to differentiate carbohydrates based on the rate of blood glucose rise following their consumption.

Plain Pottery Traditions of the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East Production Use and Social Significance

Plain Pottery Traditions of the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East Production Use and Social Significance

The evolution and proliferation of plain and predominantly wheel-made pottery presents a characteristic feature of the societies of the Near East and Eastern Mediterranean since the fourth millennium B. C. This plain pottery has received little detailed archaeological attention in comparison to aesthetically more pleasing and chronologically sensitive decorated traditions. Yet their simplicity and standardization suggest they are products of craft specialists the result of high-volume production and therefore important in understanding the social systems in early complex societies. This volume-reevaluates the role and significance of plain pottery traditions from both historically specific perspectives and from a comparative point of view;-examines the uses and functions of this pottery in relation to social negotiation and group identity formation;-helps scholars understand cross-regional similarities in development and use. | Plain Pottery Traditions of the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East Production Use and Social Significance

Indigenous Invisibility in the City Successful Resurgence and Community Development Hidden in Plain Sight

Indigenous Invisibility in the City Successful Resurgence and Community Development Hidden in Plain Sight

Indigenous Invisibility in the City contextualises the significant social change in Indigenous life circumstances and resurgence that came out of social movements in cities. It is about Indigenous resurgence and community development by First Nations people for First Nations people in cities. Seventy-five years ago First Nations peoples began a significant post-war period of relocation to cities in the United States Canada Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. First Nations peoples engaged in projects of resurgence and community development in the cities of the four settler states. First Nations peoples who were motivated by aspirations for autonomy and empowerment went on to create the foundations of Indigenous social infrastructure. This book explains the ways First Nations people in cities created and took control of their own futures. A fact largely wilfully ignored in policy contexts. Today differences exist over the way governments and First Nations peoples see the role and responsibilities of Indigenous institutions in cities. What remains hidden in plain sight is their societal function as a social and political apparatus through which much of the social processes of Indigenous resurgence and community development in cities occurred. The struggle for self-determination in settler cities plays out through First Nations people’s efforts to sustain their own institutions and resurgence but also rights and recognition in cities. This book will be of interest to Indigenous studies scholars urban sociologists urban political scientists urban studies scholars and development studies scholars interested in urban issues and community building and development.

What does a nation owe its military veterans? Gratitude esteem land grants medical care pensions higher education? Or is serving in the armed forces of one’s country an obligation to be undertaken without any expectation of compensation?

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

The Transformation of EU Geographical Indications Law The Present Past and Future of the Origin Link

The Transformation of EU Geographical Indications Law The Present Past and Future of the Origin Link

Linking traditional and local products to a specific area is increasingly felt as a necessity in a globalised market and Geographical Indications (GIs) are emerging as a multifunctional tool capable of performing this and many other functions. This book analyses the evolving nature of EU sui generis GIs by focusing on their key element the origin link and concludes that the history of the product in the broad sense has become a major factor to prove the link between a good and a specific place. For the first time this area of Intellectual Property Law is investigated from three different although interrelated perspectives: the history and comparative assessment of the systems of protection of Indications of Geographical Origin adopted in the European jurisdictions from the beginning of the 20th century; the empirical analysis of the trends emerging from the practice of EUGIs; and the policy debates surrounding them and their importance for the fulfilment of the general goals of the EU Common Agricultural Policy. The result is an innovative and rounded analysis of the very nature of the EU Law of GIs that starting from its past investigates the present and the likely future of this Intellectual Property Right. This book provides an interesting and innovative contribution to the field and will be of interest to GI scholars and Intellectual Property students as well as anyone willing to gain a better understanding of this compelling area of law. | The Transformation of EU Geographical Indications Law The Present Past and Future of the Origin Link
