For thirty years, Peter Singer's Practical Ethics has been the classic introduction to applied ethics. For this third edition, the author has revised and updated all the chapters and added a new chapter addressing climate change, one of the most important ethical challenges of our generation. Some of the questions discussed in this book concern our daily lives. Is it ethical to buy luxuries when others do not have enough to eat? Should we buy meat from intensively reared animals? Am I doing something wrong if my carbon footprint is above the global average? Other questions confront us as concerned citizens: equality and discrimination on the grounds of race or sex; abortion, the use of embryos for research and euthanasia; political violence and terrorism; and the preservation of our planet's environment. This book's lucid style and provocative arguments make it an ideal text for university courses and for anyone willing to think about how she or he ought to live.

Passionate, courageous, and at times controversial, The Anatomy of Violence is a ground-breaking work that will challenge your core human values and perspectives on violence. Why do some kids from good environments become mass murderers? Is there actually such a thing as a natural born killer? And, if so, what can we do to identify and treat those born with a predisposition to criminal behavior? For more than three decades Adrian Raine has sought answers to these questions through his pioneering research on the biological basis for violence. In this book, he presents the growing body of evidence that shows how genetics and environmental influences can conspire to create a criminal brain, and how something as seemingly innocent as a low resting heart rate can give rise to a violent personality. Bristling with ingenious experiments, surprising data, and shocking case studies, this is also a clear-eyed inquiry into the thorny ethical issues this science raises about prevention and punishment.

The last decade has been marked by substantial advamces in understanding of the role and properties of astrophysical turbulent magnetic fields. This has induced substancial paradigm shifts for the problem of cosmic ray propagation and acceleration. This book introduces to the reader the mordern understanding of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence and describes how the advances in MHD turbulence theory affect the key aspects of particle acceleration and transport in astrophysical environments. The book presents the implications of the improved treatment of cosmic ray dynamics for various problems ranging from particle acceleration in solar flares and the propagation of cosmic rays in the galaxy to powering enigmatic gamma ray bursts. In addition, the book discusses the acceleration of dust grains by MHD turbulence as well as new ways of observational studies of magnetic fields based on ground state alignment. The book should be useful for astrophysics graduate students and anyone interested at the current developments in MHD turbulence theory and its astrophysical implications.

Art.Nr.: 510006184 Art.bezeichnung: 1:72 Vietnam War The political-military escalation happened the 1960s in Southeast Asia has generated one of the longest and most complex conflicts in the recent History. The United States supported the South Vietnam Government against the North Vietnamese regular troops flanked by the People’s Liberation Armed Forces, commonly known as Vietcong. The ground war started on 1965 and ended only ten years later with the fall of Saigon of the evacuation of the latest American soldiers. The long years of war, started with an aerial campaign of bombing on North Vietnam, were characterised by clashed and fighting in tough rural environment with a vegetation and a structure of villages that provided ideal conditions for the guerrilla war. Unfortunately a huge number of civilians were involved in the war and in the military operations. The American military supremacy, which saw the massive use of helicopters and armoured vehicles, was counterbalanced by the effective North Vietnamese and Vietcong tactics.

The first history of the fanzines that emerged from Washington, DC's highly influential punk community DIY culture has always been at the heart of DC's thriving punk community. As Washington, DC's punk scene emerged in the mid-1970s, so did the periodicals--"fanzines"--that celebrated it. Before the rise of the internet, fanzines were a potent way for fans to communicate and to revel in the joy of fandom. These zines were more than just publications; they were a distillation of punk's allure, connecting the city to the broader punk community. Fanzines remain a meaningful, tactile, creative medium for punk fans to connect with like-minded people outside the corporate-controlled world. In Keep Your Ear to the Ground, the archivist and musician John R. Davis unveils the development of punk fanzines and their role in supporting DC's hardcore and punk scene from the 1970s into the twenty-first century. He sheds new light on DC's scene and highlights some of its key personalities, including many who are often left out of punk history, with high-quality images of rare zines and insights from numerous interviews with zine creators and musicians. This book vividly weaves together the origin of zines and their importance in underground communities. For punk enthusiasts, zine creators, American studies scholars, and anyone who has ever felt like an outsider, Keep Your Ear to the Ground traces how the unique environment of Washington, DC, helped zines thrive.

In rural and urban communities across North America, signs that our modern food system is failing our farmers, our environment, our health and our poor are growing painfully apparent. Now that we find ourselves at the brink, an appetite for change has started to develop. Farm-to-university programs are among a new crop of food system alternatives designed to change food and agriculture from the ground-up. Regarded as the planned efforts to connect universities with local farms, farm-to-university is intended to benefit farmers with fair and stable markets while making local sustainable food more accessible to members of university communities. As an initial assessment of the possibilities for farm-to-university at Concordia University, this community food planning study was an attempt to identify stakeholder interests as well as potential barriers and opportunities to development. Using a community food security framework focused on partnership, program and policy development, this work sought to connect with relevant and diverse stakeholders from both inside and outside the University.

Nature has been proved to be patterned in a cyclical manner. Even the ancient civilizations discovered certain regularities in the life cycle of the human being. Hence, it is no surprise that there are regularities and cycles in business and financial markets. Although events such as the Dutch "Tulipmania", the South Sea and Mississippi bubble of 1719/20, the stock market crashes of 1929, 1987, 2001 or the Japanese boom and bust of the late 1980's just to name a few, had different reasons and causes, they also had common grounds. The main object of this book is to qualitatively describe how the global financial markets are linked together and what led to such extreme events. Therefore, this book focuses on the comparison of two market cycles. The goal is to show similarities and differences and to explain them fundamentally with particular regard to financial crashes and crises that occurred. The cycles of the 1990's and 2000's will be analyzed with respect to the general economic situation, interest rate environment, stock market as well as the movements in the currency and commodities markets.
