This book investigates the complex and unpredictable temporalities
of waste. Reflecting on waste in the context of sustainability,
materiality, social practices, subjectivity and environmental
challenges, the book covers a wide range of settings, from the
municipal garbage crisis in Beirut, to food rescue campaigns in
Hong Kong and the toxic by-products of computer chip production in
Silicon Valley. Waste is one of the most pressing issues of the
day, central to environmental challenges and the development of
healthier and more sustainable futures. The emergence of the new
field of discard studies, in addition to expanding research across
other disciplines within the social sciences, is testament to the
centrality of waste as a crucial social, material and cultural
problem and to the need for multi- and transdisciplinary approaches
like those provided in this volume. This edited collection seeks to
develop a framework that understands the material properties of
different kinds of waste, not as fixed, stable or singular but
asdynamic, relational and often invisible. It brings together new
and cutting-edge research on the temporalities of waste by a
diverse range of international authors. Collectively, this research
presents a persuasive argument about the need to give more credence
to the capacities of waste to provoke us in materially and
temporally complex ways, especially those substances that
complicate our understandings of life as bounded duration. This
book will be of great interest to students and scholars of the
environmental humanities, cultural studies, anthropology and human
geography.
A revealing account of contemporary tensions between Jews and
Christians, playing out beneath the surface of conciliatory
interfaith dialogue. A new chapter in Jewish-Christian relations
opened in the second half of the twentieth century when the Second
Vatican Council exonerated Jews from the accusation of deicide and
declared that the Jewish people had never been rejected by God. In
a few carefully phrased statements, two millennia of deep hostility
were swept into the trash heap of history. But old animosities die
hard. While Catholic and Jewish leaders publicly promoted
interfaith dialogue, doubts remained behind closed doors. Catholic
officials and theologians soon found that changing their attitude
toward Jews could threaten the foundations of Christian tradition.
For their part, many Jews perceived the new Catholic line as a
Church effort to shore up support amid atheist and secular
advances. Drawing on extensive research in contemporary rabbinical
literature, Karma Ben-Johanan shows that Jewish leaders welcomed
the Catholic condemnation of antisemitism but were less
enthusiastic about the Church's sudden urge to claim their
friendship. Catholic theologians hoped Vatican II would turn the
page on an embarrassing history, hence the assertion that the
Church had not reformed but rather had always loved Jews, or at
least should have. Orthodox rabbis, in contrast, believed they were
finally free to say what they thought of Christianity. Jacob's
Younger Brother pulls back the veil of interfaith dialogue to
reveal how Orthodox rabbis and Catholic leaders spoke about each
other when outsiders were not in the room. There Ben-Johanan finds
Jews reluctant to accept the latest whims of a Church that had
unilaterally dictated the terms of Jewish-Christian relations for
centuries.

One in six couples around the world experience infertility. Before
undertaking expensive and intrusive assisted reproductive treatment
such as in vitro fertilization, many seek advice from their
physicians or dietitians on what foods and supplements might
enhance their fertility. But health practitioners are often ill
equipped to provide dietary recommendations in a scientifically
based manner. Nutrition, Fertility, and Human Reproductive Function
provides a comprehensive guide to clinicians on how they can best
advise their patients to optimise fertility and reproductive
function through optimal nutrition. Taking a holistic or
"whole-of-life" approach, the book reviews the role of nutrition in
human fertility and explores its effect on male and female
reproductive physiology. Problem-orientated topics are arranged in
chapters that each cover a specific clinical topic of interest,
allowing easy reference by the practicing clinician. From the
female perspective, the book covers the role of nutrition on
essential reproductive processes such as ovulation, early embryo
development, implantation, and sexual function, together with
nutrition's influence on the duration of the reproductive life
span. In the male context, it examines the effect of nutrition on
hormone and sperm production as well as sexual function. The book
also includes information on evidence-based complementary health
approaches such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and
naturopathy. This book draws on the wide experience of several
respected leaders in clinical nutrition who combine research
expertise with clinical insight. The information contained herein
will enable clinicians to make the best recommendations for their
patients for optimising fertility.

This is an introduction to the Buddhist philosophy of Emptiness
which explores a number of themes in connection with the concept of
Emptiness, a highly technical but very central notion in
Indo-Tibetan Buddhism. It examines the critique by the leading
Nyingma school philosopher Mipham (1846-1912) formulated in his
diverse writings. The book focuses on related issues such as what
is negated by the doctrine of emptiness, the nature of ultimate
reality, and the difference between 'extrinsic' and 'intrinsic'
emptiness. Karma Phuntsho's book aptly undertakes a thematic and
selective discussion of these debates and Mipham's qualms about the
Gelukpa understanding of Emptiness in a mixture of narrative and
analytic style.

This book explores a number of themes in connection with the
concept of Emptiness, a highly technical but very central notion in
Indo-Tibetan Buddhism. It examines the critique by the leading
Nyingma school philosopher Mipham (1846-1912), one of Tibet's
brightest and most versatile minds, formulated in his diverse
writings. The book focuses on related issues such as what is
negated by the doctrine of emptiness, the nature of ultimate
reality, and the difference between 'extrinsic' and 'intrinsic'
emptiness. These issues continue to be the subject of lively debate
among contemporary exponents of Tibetan Buddhist thought. Karma
Phuntsho's book aptly undertakes a thematic and selective
discussion of these debates and Mipham's qualms about the Gelukpa
understanding of Emptiness in a mixture of narrative and analytic
style. For the first time, a major variant understanding of
Emptiness to the Gelukpa interpretation that has become dominant in
both Tibet and the West is revealed.
