This is a book about the risk politics of food safety. Food-related risks regularly grab the headlines in ways that threaten reasoned debate and obstruct sensible policy making. In this book, Ed Randall explains why this is the case. He goes on to make the case for a properly informed and fully open public debate about food safety issues. He argues that this is the true antidote to the politics of scare, scandal and crisis. The book skilfully weaves together the many different threads of food safety and risk politics and offers a particularly rewarding read for academics and students in the fields of politics and media studies. It will also appeal to scholars from other disciplines, particularly social psychology and the food sciences. The book is a lively and exceptionally readable account of food safety and risk politics that will engage policy makers and the general reader. It promises to help us all manage food safety issues more intelligently and successfully. ;
Die Schuld austreiben, das ist der Plan, als Horace in einer Frühlingsnacht in den Garten seines Großvaters hinaustritt. Ein Ritual soll Horace befreien. Von den Erwartungen, die seine Familie an ihn und seine Begabung stellt, von den rasenden Gedanken, vom Begehren, das ihn Mitte der Achtziger in dieser Schwarzen Baptistengemeinde im Süden alles kosten kann. Doch die Befreiung missglückt, und Horace, getrieben von den erlittenen Ungerechtigkeiten aus Hunderten von Jahren, irrt gefährlich durch die Nacht. Bis ein anderer Mann aus seiner Familie, am Glauben verzweifelt wie er, dem berechtigten Wahnsinn Einhalt gebieten will … Entdeckt von Toni Morrison, als sein Jünger mit James Baldwins Nachlass betraut, so stand Randall Kenan 1989 nach Erscheinen seines Romans an der Spitze der nachfolgenden Generation, einsam und zu früh. Mehr als dreißig Jahre mussten vergehen, damit Der Einfall der Geister international gefeiert werden kann, als ein Meisterwerk Schwarzen Erzählens, über die Gefahren der Erlösung, über Wünsche, die an Grenzen stoßen.

Does the rescue of 1600 men, women, and children justify aiding and abetting the murder of more than half a million others? Under these circumstances, is it morally imperative for one man to bring down an entire government? A young attorney defends an old man accused of criminal libel and must confront these agonizing ethical questions arising from the Holocaust. Jerusalem, 1953-1954. A 72-year-old pensioner, Malchiel Greenwald, publishes a mimeographed newsletter accusing Rudolph Kasztner, Deputy Minister for Trade and a prominent Israeli politician, of being complicit in the deaths of 800,000 Hungarian Jews during 1944, when he was Chairman of the Hungarian Jewish Rescue Committee. Kasztner demands that the State of Israel bring a criminal libel action against the virtually penniless Greenwald for this defamatory publication. Greenwald manages to convince brilliant lawyer and former Irgun “terrorist,” Samuel Tamir, to take on his defense at no cost. On a frigid December day in 1953, Greenwald could not know, nor could he imagine, that he was about to walk into the history of Israel; and that fourteen months later, when the trial concluded and the verdict was announced, the government of Prime Minister Moshe Sharett would be brought down, and the Holy Land would never be the same again. Even today, more than 65 years later, this tale, which has been largely suppressed until now, remains a “hot potato” in Israel. And international bestselling author Hugo N. Gerstl, author of Assassin, The Wrecking Crew, Scribe, and Against All Odds, himself a nationally known trial lawyer, brings the proceedings to the forefront in this riveting historical thriller. Published by Pangæa Publishing Group,2020. 426 pages – 23 cm x 15 cm

Warum beschäftigen sich Soziologinnen und Soziologen mit der Geschichte ihres eigenen Faches? Ist eine Disziplingeschichte bloß akademischer Tand oder benötigt die Gesellschaft tatsächlich eine Geschichte ihrer professionellen Selbstreflexion und Selbstbeobachtung? Und: Wie kann Soziologiegeschichte in einer Weise betrieben werden, die die Existenz des Fachs in einem über die akademische curiositas hinausgehenden Rahmen rechtfertigt? Diesen Fragen gehen namhafte Soziologiehistorikerinnen und -historiker wie Andrew Abbott, Randall Collins, Dirk Kaesler, Donald N. Levine, Jennifer Platt, Karl-Siegbert Rehberg u. a. in diesem Band nach, der in seiner Verbindung von klassischen und neueren Texten als Einführung in die Soziologiegeschichte dienen kann.

This important collection of essays focuses on the place of Roman Catholicism in early modern England, bringing new perspectives to bear on whether Shakespeare himself was Catholic. In the Introduction, Richard Wilson reviews the history of the debate over Shakespeare's religion, while Arthur Marotti and Peter Milward offer current perspectives on the subject. Eamon Duffy offers a historian's view of the nature of Elizabethan Catholicism, complemented by Frank Brownlow's study of Elizabeth's most brutal enforcer of religious policy, Richard Topcliffe. Two key Catholic controversialists are addressed by Donna Hamilton (Richard Vestegan) and Jean-Christophe Mayer (Robert Parsons). Robert Miola opens up the neglected field of Jesuit drama in the period, whilst Sonia Fielitz specifically proposes a new, Jesuit source-text for Timon of Athens. Carol Enos (As You Like It), Margaret Jones-Davies (Cymbeline), Gerard Kilroy (Hamlet) and Randall Martin (Henry VI 3) read individual plays in the light of these questions, while Gary Taylor's essay fittingly investigates the possible influence of religious conflicts on the publication of the Shakespeare First Folio. Theatre and religion: Lancastrian Shakespeare as a whole represents a major intervention in this fiercely contested current debate. ;
