Cornucopia

Cornucopia

D. Patrick Johnson

Hamilton Books
2011
nidottu
Cornucopia explores the health and economic implications of U.S. farm policy. Using a corn farm in rural South Dakota as his starting point, Johnson reviews the history of agricultural policies in America to understand how large-scale, industrial agriculture came to play such a large role in U.S. and world food production. He also discusses the role of agricultural policies in the on-going "food for fuel" debate, as well as the linkages between agricultural outputs and health outcomes. As the U.S. battles with a burgeoning epidemic of dietary disease - including some of the highest rates of obesity, diabetes, and hypertension in the developed world - it is especially important to understand where our food comes from and its relation to health, nutrition, and economic mobility. Ensuring America's health and well-being requires us to first return to the farm.

The modern legal library is caught in a transformative stage. Often seen by firm management as unnecessary and outdated, legal libraries are facing a double-pronged challenge: it is now essential for librarians to demonstrate the continuing value of their profession whilst battling with shrinking budgets and the development of new, disruptive technologies that are transforming working practices and processes at a rapid rate.

The Decline of Substance Use in Young Adulthood

The Decline of Substance Use in Young Adulthood

Jerald G. Bachman; Patrick M. O'Malley; John E. Schulenberg; Lloyd D. Johnston; Alison L. Bryant; Alicia C. Merline

Psychology Press Ltd
2013
nidottu
This book is intended as a thoughtful extension to Bachman et al.'s well-received monograph Smoking, Drinking, and Drug Use in Young Adulthood. That volume showed that the new freedoms of young adulthood lead to increases in substance use, while the responsibilities of adulthood--marriage, pregnancy, parenthood--contribute to declines in substance use. The Decline of Substance Use in Young Adulthood examines how the changes in social and religious experiences and in attitudes toward substance use observed among young adults are related to changes in substance use, family transitions, living arrangements, college experience, and employment. The research uses a variety of analysis techniques and is based on the nationwide Monitoring the Future surveys of more than 38,000 young people followed from high school into adulthood. The research covers the last quarter of the 20th century, a period when drug use and views about drugs underwent many important changes. In spite of these shifts, the overall patterns of relationships reported in this book are impressive in their consistency across time and in their general similarity for men and women.Specific questions addressed include the following: *As young adults experience new freedoms and responsibilities, do their attitudes about drugs change? *Do their religious views and behaviors shift? *Do their new freedoms and responsibilities affect the amount of time they spend in social activities, including going to parties and bars? *And how are any of these changes linked to changes in cigarette use, alcohol use, marijuana use, and cocaine use?

Does success in school protect teenagers from drug use? Does drug use impair scholastic success? This book tackles a key issue in adolescent development and health - the education-drug use connection. The authors examine the links and likely causal connections between educational experiences, delinquent behavior, and adolescent use of tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine.The book uses data from the University of Michigan's Monitoring the Future project. It focuses on a large and nationally representative sample of 8th grade students in the United States who were initially surveyed in 1991-1993 and then followed over the vitally important developmental period between ages 14 and 22. The volume uses a variety of statistical analysis techniques, and the findings can be understood by individuals with limited, as well as with extensive, backgrounds in research design. The findings convincingly demonstrate that if young people can be successful in school, it can improve a broad range of outcomes in their lives, not the least of which is their ability to resist pressures to use drugs. The book provides: a summary of the findings and conclusions; a review of relevant literature; a detailed discussion of the survey and analysis methods; the academic attainment of those in the longitudinal panel; the delinquent behaviors of panel members as they relate to measures of educational success; and the patterns of initiation, continuation, and cessation for each substance: cigarettes, marijuana, cocaine, and alcohol.This book is intended for anyone who deals with education and/or substance use, including educational, developmental, and social psychologists; sociologists; epidemiologists; educators; and policy makers. The analysis of panel survey data, using a variety of techniques, will also appeal to survey methodologists and students.

Smoking, Drinking, and Drug Use in Young Adulthood

Psychology Press

Why do some young adults substantially change their patterns of smoking, drinking, or illicit drug use after graduating from high school? In this book, the authors show that leaving high school and leaving home create new freedoms that are linked to increases in the use of cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine. They also show that marriage, pregnancy, and parenthood create new responsibilities that are linked to decreases in drug use. The research is based on more than 33,000 young people followed from high school through young adulthood by the nationwide Monitoring the Future project. Every two years, participants reported on their drug use, as well as their schooling, employment, military service, living arrangements, marriages, pregnancies, parenthood, and even their divorces. The unique qualities of this research--large nationally representative samples, follow-ups extending up to 14 years beyond high school, and multiple approaches to analysis and data presentation--allowed the examination of several important influences simultaneously, while retaining much of the rich detail encountered in the real world. On the whole, the results are encouraging, suggesting that the potentials for change and improvement during the transition to adulthood are as important as the detrimental effects of problem behavior in adolescence. This research is a "must" read for anyone concerned with how new freedoms and responsibilities impact adolescents, young adults, and the use of licit and illicit drugs.

LA SCIMMA E IL GIAGUAROSulla montagna di Kaw c'era una vecchia scimmia. La furbacchiona se ne stava sempre sul ciglio del sentiero, appesa ad un ramo di moutouchi . Apostrofava i passanti, raccontando loro mille buffonate, facendo moine e chiedendo la carit o qualunque altra cosa. E fu cos che la scimmia riusc a farsi molti amici e accumul una vera e propria fortuna. L'unico scopo nella sua esistenza era arricchirsi senza lavorare.Un giorno, capit che il Re degli animali, il giaguaro, pass per quei luoghi.La nostra scimmia, che bramava la sua bella pelliccia, lo lusing per la bellezza del suo pelame e per la sua intelligenza, e gli srotol davanti un tappeto di foglie morte.- Re Giaguaro, disse, se avessi un mantello come il tuo, sarei la pi felice di tutte le scimmie.E diceva fra s e s Sono ricca, ma non sono rispettata, mentre con un manto simile sar la fenice di questi boschi. Ma non aveva fatto i conti con la crudelt della belva.- Macaco, le disse il felino, se riuscirai a dirmi una verit facendomi ridere, la mia pelliccia sar tua. La nostra scimmia si vedeva gi pavoneggiarsi nella foresta con la pelliccia del giaguaro sulla schiena, un cappello di feltro e una piuma d'oro in testa, acclamata dagli altri animali. E allora, senza indugiare oltre, rivolse alla belva questa asserzione: - Mio Signore, disse, se tu perdessi i canini e gli artigli, saresti debole quanto il tapiro e diventeresti lo zimbello di tutta la foresta.

Gare d'Austerlitz : en bok om Patrick Modiano

Gare d'Austerlitz : en bok om Patrick Modiano

Per Arne Tjäder

Bokförlaget Daidalos
2014
nidottu
Patrick Modiano - Nobelpristagare i litteratur 2014 Patrick Modiano är född i Paris 1945 och de flesta av hans romaner utspelas där. Hans Paris är en minnenas stad där det förflutna och nuet ständigt tränger in i varandra och människor aldrig vet när sprickorna från kriget och ockupationen eller från 60-talets Algerietkon­flikt kommer att öppna sig under dem. Det är en miljö där man när som helst kan möta gengångare från svunna liv och sammanhang och finna att tiden faktiskt är genomskinlig, men också att det ena mysteriet bara leder vidare till nästa. Författarens egna erfarenheter finns där som en underton. Ofta känns ett hot i luften. Något allvarligt har hänt, någon har försvunnit eller dyker senare upp med en annan identitet. Modiano leker gärna med polisromanens form och grepp, men gåtorna får inte alltid några tydliga svar, eller de svar läsaren kanske förväntar sig. Det handlar istället om att med exakta språkliga medel och i en enkel och tyd­lig prosa utveckla en särskild sorts uppmärksamhet, en resonans: berättelsen som vaken - men inte nödvändigtvis behaglig - dröm. Författarskapet hör sedan decennier till den franska litteraturens mest uppmärksammade. -Per Arne Tjäders bok är den första som presenterar Modiano och hans mentala geografi för svenska läsare. Den är skriven i föremålets anda, med nerv, lätthet och precision och med ett välutvecklat sinne för skuggornas lika överrumplande som ofrånkomliga djup.

Memoirs of Jonathan Swift, D.D., Dean of St Patrick's, Dublin

Memoirs of Jonathan Swift, D.D., Dean of St Patrick's, Dublin

Walter Scott

Cambridge University Press

pokkari
Jonathan Swift (1667–1745) was born in Dublin and studied at the city's Trinity College. He gained his B.A. in 1686 before going to England where he took a Master's degree at Oxford in 1692. Subsequently, Swift lived between England and Ireland for a number of years. He moved permanently from England in 1714 after the Tory party he supported lost power. Back in Ireland as Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, he turned his talents to supporting Irish causes. During this period he wrote some of his best work, including Gulliver's Travels, the satirical masterpiece which has been continuously in print since its publication in 1726. Written by Sir Walter Scott, this is the first part of a two-volume biography of Swift, first published in 1826. This volume covers his early life up to his appointment as Dean of St Patrick's and his involvement in Irish politics.
