Download or read book The Water Crisis written by Julie Stauffer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern society too often views water as a convenient vehicle for disposing of waste and the results are becoming increasingly apparent. Analysis of freshwater supplies frequently reveals disturbing levels of pollution, including human waste, heavy metals and synthetic chemicals, to the detriment of our health, and the health of entire ecosystems. The Water Crisis examines the roots of freshwater pollution urbanization, industrialization and intensive farming supported by case studies from the Rhine and the Great Lakes. It explores the impact of major pollutants and discusses methods of prevention. The final section provides a detailed overview of possible solutions, including soil-based treatment systems and constructed wetlands. A separate chapter is devoted to the important issue of groundwater pollution. Practical concise and accessible, this is ideal for students in environmental studies and environmental science, biology and geography, and general readers. Originally published in 1998
Download or read book Theology and Narrative written by the late Hans W. Frei and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1993-09-23 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hans W. Frei (1922-1988) was one of the most influential American theologians of his generation. Early in his career he drew attention to the importance of biblical narratives; he helped make Karl Barth once again a creative voice in contemporary theology; and he served as a model of what his colleague, George Lindbeck, has called "postliberal theology." This volume collects ten of Frei's lectures and essays, many of them never before published. Addressing audiences of theologians, biblical scholars, and literary critics, Frei explores the implications of his work for hermeneutics and Christology, and discusses Barth, Schleiermacher, and his own teacher, H. Richard Niebuhr. William Placher has provided an introduction to Frei's life and work, and the volume ends with an essay by George Hunsinger on Frei's significance for theology today. This collection provides an unrivaled introduction to Frei's work.
Download or read book Negotiating Environment and Science written by Richard J. Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-22 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thought-provoking new book, career U.S. State Department negotiator Richard J. Smith offers readers unprecedented access to the details about some of the most complex and politically charged international agreements of the late and immediate post Cold War era. During his nine years as Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, Smith led U.S. negotiations on many significant international agreements. In Negotiating Environment and Science, Smith presents first-hand, in-depth accounts of eight of the most high-profile negotiations in which he was directly involved. The negotiations Smith covers are wide-ranging and include the London agreement to amend the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, the international space station agreement, the U.S.-Soviet (eventually, U.S.-Russian) agreement on scientific cooperation, the U.S.-Canada acid rain agreement, the negotiations in Sofia, Bulgaria that established a first link between human rights and the environment, and a contentious confrontation with Japan over driftnet fishing. Smith chronicles the development of these negotiations, the challenges that emerged (as much within the U.S. delegations as with the foreign partners), and the strategies that led to substantive treaties. Smith infuses his narrative with unique historical insight as well as astute observations that can guide U.S. strategies toward productive international agreements in the future. His book also highlights the shift in diplomatic focus over the past 25 years from arms control and other security-related agreements to international and trans-boundary agreements that address global environmental threats and promote cooperative approaches in science and technology. Written for an audience with a general interest in environmental issues as well as international relations, Negotiating Environment and Science will also be an important resource for historians, political scientists, and students in international law and diplomacy.
Download or read book Infectious Diseases in Neurocognitive and Neuropsychiatric Medicine written by and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-05 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders contribute to a substantial amount of global morbidity and, as such, the identification of their causes is paramount to understanding their underlying pathophysiology as well as treatment and prevention strategies. Infectious Diseases in Neurocognitive and Neuropsychiatric Medicine considers the many infectious diseases that have been associated with cognitive and neuropsychiatric function. In Parts I-III, each chapter focuses on a different disease to cover a range of viral, bacterial, and parasitic diseases in neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric medicine. Part IV considers infectious diseases and clinical conditions and syndromes, while Part V examines the relationship between neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric function and the microbiome and Part VI the relationship with childhood development. In addition to molecular and clinical descriptions of the infectious diseases themselves, many chapters also explore the diseases' basic epidemiological features to consider where they may be exerting the greatest impact on cognitive and neuropsychiatric function. Where they exist, the possible mitigating factors and treatments for the neuropsychiatric and cognitive dysfunction that can be associated with these infectious diseases are also explored. In doing so, this volume examines the neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders associated with infectious disease to better understand the role infections play.

Download or read book The Routledge International Handbook of Psychosocial Epidemiology written by Mika Kivimäki and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The health effects of psychosocial factors are a widely discussed and controversial topic. Do positive and negative emotions affect our risk of developing physical disease? Are depressive individuals more likely to have cancer than those with an optimistic outlook on life? And what is the role of IQ in staying healthy and recovering from disease? Importantly, can we improve our health and life expectancy by avoiding certain psychosocial risk factors and maximizing positive psychological well-being? These and other questions are the focus of psychosocial epidemiology, a discipline linking psychological, social and biological sciences. The Routledge International Handbook of Psychosocial Epidemiology is the first book to map this growing discipline. Including contributions from many of the leading researchers in the field, it is divided into five sections: Part I: Methodological challenges in studying psychosocial factors and health; Part II: Psychosocial factors in the etiology and prognosis of chronic diseases; Part III: Controversies in the psychosocial approach; Part IV: Interventions and policy implications Part V: Future research directions Taking advantage of a huge growth in research in recent years, the book provides the reader with the essentials to evaluate the diverse set of studies on psychosocial factors and health that are published today, and describes study designs in this field of research, progress in judging the validity of epidemiological evidence, as well as challenges in translating evidence into action. This is an important and timely book. Providing methodological rigour, critical analysis and the policy implications of this emerging field of study, The Routledge International Handbook of Psychosocial Epidemiology will be an invaluable resource for students and researchers within both behavioural and medical sciences, as well as policy makers and others working in health and social care.
