Presenting a contemporary reflection on ethical and sustainable
consumption, this insightful Research Handbook explores the
challenges and complexities of living an ethical and sustainable
life, and for the researchers who study them. Featuring
cutting-edge, multidisciplinary research from authors with unique
perspectives and expert insights, this Research Handbook takes a
deeper look at the past, present, and future of ethical and
sustainable consumption. Chapters explore, among other topics,
sustainable solutions to improve responsible seafood consumption,
modern slavery, edible insects and the future of planet-friendly
proteins, and the influence of austerity in normalising sustainable
consumption. Additionally, the Research Handbook analyses consumer
engagement with sustainability labelling in the food industry and
the role of shared e-micromobility in sustainable transportation.
Empirical and conceptual in its approach, the Research Handbook
provides significant managerial implications and reviews the
compelling questions in ethical and sustainable consumption
research. With contemporary reflections on ethical and sustainable
consumption, this interdisciplinary Research Handbook will be
essential reading for students and scholars across business
management, economics, geography, environmental sociology and
marketing.
First published in 1980, The Survivors is a detailed and original
study of the experiences of homeless young people in central
London. The book is based on in-depth interviews with 107
'newcomers', who were selected at two nightshelters and a
government reception centre. Their views and experiences are
recorded, their backgrounds described and their reasons for coming
to London examined. We learn how they coped with the interventions
of both those who want to hinder and those who want to help, and
how in general they survived - and sometimes even enjoyed
themselves - in an extreme environment. The authors also examine
the ways in which the various helping agencies view the 'problem'.
They claim that the agencies tend to present a pessimistic picture
- one that understates the resilience and resourcefulness of these
young people, dismisses their spirit of their adventure, and
concentrates almost exclusively on the dangers, difficulties and
hardships. This book will be of interest to students of sociology,
urban studies, public policy and economics.
What does it mean to think of children as social subjects and how
should we go about studying childhood in society? Childhood is a
key site where children come to understand themselves as particular
kinds of people, not only as individuals but also as members of
social and cultural groups. This compelling and accessible book
explores how immature humans enter into political, economic, social
and cultural life. Integrating key theories from a range of
disciplines, Karen Wells provides a set of analytical tools to
explore how culture, society, politics and economics shape
childhood and children's lives. She explains how childhood is not
only culturally shaped, but also formed at the intersection of
politics and economics. At this intersection between governing
practices and the affordances of children's bodies, young subjects
are made. Childhood Studies will be essential reading for students
and scholars in childhood and youth studies and related
disciplines, and for anyone who wants to understand the impacts of
social inequality on children and what it means to be a child in
the contemporary world.
This popular book provides a compelling introduction to thinking
about childhood in rigorous and critical ways. Karen Wells offers a
unique global perspective on children's lives, showing how the
notion of childhood varies widely and is continuously being
radically re-shaped. Taking children seriously as active
participants in society, the book explores key social issues such
as how children are constituted as raced, classed and gendered
subjects; how school and work operate as sites for the governing of
childhood; and how children both shape and are shaped by politics,
culture and the economy. Taking an engaging historical and
comparative approach, the book discusses wide-ranging topics
including children's rights, the family, play, labour, migration
and trafficking. In addition to updated literature throughout, this
revised third edition includes extensive new material on children's
activism, politics and war, and a whole new chapter on juvenile
justice. The book will continue to be of great value to students
and scholars in the fields of sociology, geography, social policy
and development studies. It will also be a valuable companion to
practitioners whose work involves or impacts children, as well as
to anyone interested in childhood in the contemporary world.
In this richly woven study of preoedipal erotic experience, Harriet
Kimble Wrye and Judith Welles focus on patients for whom early
mothering did not sustain the flowering and subsequent
transformation of early erotic desire. Such patients remain under
the sway of a primitive eroticism that is often sadistic and
invariably perverse. Successful analytic work requires accepting
and containing the patient's primitive erotic needs; reconstructing
the mother-infant narratives that sustain these needs; and
mobilizing the patient's transformative desire to grow out of
maternal eroticism to an adult love of self and others.
This Handbook examines the area of consumer behavior from the
perspective of current developments and developing areas for the
discipline, to new opportunities that comprehend the nature of
consumer choice and its relationship to marketing. Consumer
research incorporates perspectives from a spectrum of
long-established sciences: psychology, economics and sociology.
This Handbook strives to include this multitude of sources of
thought, adding geography, neuroscience, ethics and behavioral
ecology to this list. Encompassing scholars with a passion for
researching consumers, this Handbook highlights important
developments in consumer behavior research, including consumer
culture, impulsivity and compulsiveness, ethics and behavioral
ecology. It examines evolutionary and neuroscience perspectives as
well as consumer choice. Undergraduate and postgraduate students
and researchers in marketing with interests in consumer behavior
will find this enriching resource invaluable. Contributors: P.J.

Colonel Wells investigates the nature of aerial warfare and the men
who took part. The book analyses aircrew selection, reaction to
combat, adaptability to stress, morale, leadership and combat
effectiveness. First-hand reflections of combat flyers, published
materials, reports and official documents are used to compare the
efforts of the US Eighth Air Force and RAF Bomber Command.
Consumption is the primary economic activity in our post-industrial
society. We are consumers, not producers. Consumer behavior
analysis is leading heterodox marketing scholarship and innovative
applied behavioral work, with much to offer both constituencies.
This volume shows how consumer behavior analysis fits within a
larger-scale approach to marketing, consumer psychology, behavior
analysis and organizational behavior management. Describing both
theoretical analyses and empirical studies including laboratory
experiments in e-commerce, in-store experiments in grocery
shopping, and an analysis of the counterfeit goods market, this
book is a working example of translational research. It contains
tools and studies to help understand contemporary consumer
behavior, particularly for those in marketing. Scholars will
appreciate the theory and real-world applications evident in each
chapter when considering their own research direction. All students
of marketing theory, behavior analysis and consumer choice will
find this collection a thought-provoking tool for further
understanding of a new behavioral approach to marketing strategy,
consumer decisions and marketing firms. This book comprises
articles originally published in the Journal of Organizational
Behavior Management.

Bringing together academic and practitioner points of view, this
edited collection shows how violence enters into ordinary, routine
practices of childhood and children's experiences. The contributing
authors seek to understand how violence is enacted against children
in infancy, adolescence, in school, in care, at home and on the
street.

The intent of this publication is to bring together reviews and
discussions from several disciplines, all treating the basidium and
basidiocarp of the Basidiomy cotina (= basidiomycetes), a
subdivision of the true or higher fungi. Because the workers who
study the species of this group employ such a variety of techniques
and publish in such diverse journals, we believe that bringing
together these efforts in one publication will facilitate a
synopsis of recent studies of several divergent disciplines.
Correlation of such information may not only aid in the
reevaluation of broad taxonomic and biological concepts but also
provide a key to the specialists in the rethinking of the data
available within the confines of the more restricted disciplines.
We have attempted to cover the major areas of studies of species of
the Basidiomycotina within the past decade or so with the exception
of genetics and compatibility, which have recently been reviewed in
several other works. A problem we have not been able to solve
satisfactorily is the one of vocabulary. Each discipline tends to
develop its own language as it becomes increasingly specialized,
with time becoming unintelligible to the majority. We have tried to
alleviate this problem of terms but can not claim to have been
completely successful. We are indebted to a great many people, but
especially to the contributors. They have been most patient and
cooperative throughout."
