Gen Z is a vital, thought-provoking portrait of an astonishing
generation. Drawing on first-hand interviews and empirical
evidence, it offers insight into the boom in political activism
amongst those born post-2000, exploring its roots and wide
implications for the future of our society. As environmental
disaster threatens the fundamental existence and livelihoods of
Generation Z, this book considers how the fact that they have taken
up the fight is likely to be one of the best things that could have
happened to them. Focusing on the school climate change strikes and
Greta Thunberg as initiator and icon of the Fridays for Future
movement, it reveals the evolving world of Gen Z at school, at
work, at home and online. It documents the development of their
politicisation, the challenges they and their activism face in
light of the global pandemic and considers how the experience of
those on the margins can differ from their peers. Gen Z is a
compelling study of how fighting the climate crisis is only the
beginning for these young people. It offers insight for all those
interested in the study of adolescence and emerging adulthood, as
well as teachers, youth workers, civil society activists,
policymakers, politicians and parents who want to understand young
people's aspirations for the future.

This comprehensive text highlights new developments in
sociological, educational and psychological aspects of
socialisation, examining how human beings as 'subjects' -
experiencing, thinking and acting individuals - confront the
material, social and cultural 'objects' of their environment and
sustain their position. The authors provide an overview of the most
important theories of socialisation, then integrate these using the
Productive Processing of Reality (PPR) model. This novel approach
is applied to a life course analysis, examining developmental tasks
and the challenges of productive processing of the internal and
external reality at various stages of development. The book also
considers contexts, addressing the inequalities between different
socio-economic and ethnic groups and genders, to consider how
humans - with their genetic dispositions and their individual
instincts and needs - solve the task of coping with the
requirements of society, culture and economy while at the same time
safeguarding their status as unique individuals. It is core reading
for advanced students on socialisation modules in developmental or
social psychology and educational sciences and is additionally of
value for the professional training of sociologists, teachers and
social workers. It is also relevant for all those interested in
elementary questions of how the interaction between the society and
the individual works; how human beings deal not only with
themselves but also with their social and physical environment, and
how they shape it in their own way.

This reference summarizes and overviews current research on
adolescence in 31 countries from around the world. The volume
begins with a discussion of interdisciplinary and international
perspectives on adolescence, with special attention to
psychological and sociological approaches. Each of the chapters
that follow considers adolescence in a particular country, and the
chapters are arranged alphabetically for ease of use. To foster
comparative research, each chapter shares a common format, with
sections on the historical and sociodemographic background of
adolescence since 1945, sociocultural patterns of rites of passage,
psychological and social problem behaviors, and policy matters.
Each chapter concludes with a list of current references, and the
volume ends with a selected bibliography and an appendix of key
researchers.

The topic of adolescent development in Europe is one which has
received little academic attention in recent years. Developmental
Tasks in Adolescence makes an exciting contribution to the field by
applying socialisation theory to four major developmental tasks of
life: Qualifying, Bonding, Consumption and Participation, arguing
that if the tasks in these areas are mastered, then personal
individuation and social integration can take place, a prerequisite
for the formation of self-identity. In highly developed societies,
adolescence encompasses a period of about 15 years on average.
Puberty, or the transition from childhood, starts earlier and
earlier, and the transition to adulthood is increasingly postponed.
Developmental Tasks in Adolescence proposes that the way in which
adolescents master the tasks of everyday life has become a pattern
of orientation for the life stages which follow because of the new
lifestyle requirements that are typical for modern democratic
societies. Today, a life full of uncertainties and ambiguities is
no longer limited to adolescence, but rather continues into
adulthood. Hurrelmann and Quenzel's sociological approach is
valuable reading for students and academics in psychology,
sociology, education, social work and youth studies, and for those
on professional training courses in these fields.

This book develops a new model of the genesis of health, on the
basis of the interplay between genetic and environmental factors.
Hurrelmann and Richter build upon the basic theories of health and
the popular model of salutogenesis to offer a comprehensive
interdisciplinary theory of health genesis and success: Productive
Processing of Reality (PPR). The authors show that health is the
lifelong dynamic process of dealing with the internal reality of
physical and psychological impulses and the external reality of
social and material impulses. To demonstrate this, the book is
split into three interconnected parts. Part A analyses the
determinants of health, providing an overview of the insights of
current research and the impact of socioeconomic influences and
gender on health. Part B covers public health, social, learning and
coping theories, all of which understand health as an interaction
between people and their environment. Part C draws on these four
theories to outline PPR, stressing the interrelation between
physical and mental constitution and the demands of the social and
mental environment, and suggesting strategies for coping with these
demands during the life course. Understanding Public Health:
Productive Processing of Internal and External Reality will be
valuable reading for students and researchers in psychology,
sociology, educational science, public health and medical science,
and for policymakers in public health.
This book provides an overview of investigations into the interrela
tions between stressful living conditions, individual coping
strategies, and social support networks, on the one hand, and
physiological, psychological, and social "health," on the other.
Health is used as a broad term, and is defined as a state of
physical and mental well being by which an individual is capable of
processing inner and outer reality in a productive and satisfying
manner. The potential stresses and strains inherent in the
lifestyles of children, adolescents, and adults in contemporary
industrial societies are the prime concern of this book. I try to
offer a comprehensive view which takes modern socialization theory
as its starting point. Chapter 1 introduces the subject and
discusses the psychological and social "costs" that accompany life
within modern industrial soci ety. Chapter 2 reviews research on
types and distribution of social, psychological, and somatic
disorders. Chapter 3 explores the risk fac tors and constellations
of stressful life events, role conflicts, and tran sitions and
focuses on the changes in types of demand or strains throughout the
life span. Chapter 4 contains an analysis of the per sonal and
social "resources" that can be mobilized if stress occurs."

At the end of the 20th century, many of the major health problems
facing highly industrialized nations stem from advanced technology,
a richer diet, and lengthened life span. The scope of public health
has greatly expanded. While health hazards to the public have
increased, the strategies available to remedy them have grown
commensurably. Public health has borrowed and adapted knowledge
from the biological, medical, behavioral, and social sciences, and
has been quick to recognize the potential of new fields such as the
management sciences for safeguarding the health of the community.
Through chapters written by expert contributors, this reference
provides a synopsis of the state of the development of public
health in twenty countries around the world. These countries vary
considerably in national policies for organizing health services.
Some are heavily industrialized, such as Germany and the United
States, while others, such as Tanzania and Thailand, are less
developed. Each chapter is devoted to a particular country, with
chapters discussing similar issues in order to foster comparisons.
Chapters discuss the overall status of public health from practice
to research and teaching, and take into account the resulting
health effects and the quality and efficiency of the delivery
systems. Chapters include extensive references, and an appendix
lists organizations in each country.
Selten wird ein Thema seit Ende der 1990er Jahre so intensiv
diskutiert wie die politische Bildung und Beteiligung von
Jugendlichen. Seither wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche
Moeglichkeiten der politischen Partizipation Jugendlichen
eingeraumt werden sollen. Die 'Bilanzierung' und 'Perspektiven' der
politischen Bildung und Beteiligung Jugendlicher bilden den
Schwerpunkt des Bandes, um sowohl das Verhaltnis Jugendlicher zur
Politik heute neu zu bestimmen als auch einen systematischen
Vergleich vorzunehmen und damit weitere Impulse fur die Entwicklung
der kunftigen Jugendpolitik zu gewinnen.
Anerkannte Experten stellen interdisziplinar die Aufgaben und
Arbeitsweisen der Gesundheitswissenschaften vor. Sie beschreiben
nicht nur eine Ausgangsanalyse des Gesundheits-zustands der
Bevolkerung, sondern leiten gleichzeitig den Bedarf an
Versorgungsleistungen ab. Damit werden die verschiedenen
Arbeitsschritte der gesundheitswissenschaftlichen Forschung und
Praxis anschaulich transparent gemacht. Concise text:
Praxisbezogene Analyse der Gesundheitssituation in der Bevolkerung
und systematische Bestandsaufnahme der Versorgungsstrukturen.
Die Gleichstellung von Frauen und Mannern ist in der Bundesrepublik
Deutschland im Rahmen gesetzlicher Bestimmungen de jure weitgehend
er reicht. Dennoch bestehen de facto soziale Benachteiligungen in
den verschie densten Gesellschaftsbereichen: So sind Frauen in den
Bereichen Wirtschaft, Technik, Wissenschaft und Politik immer noch
stark benachteiligt und finden keine ihrem Anteil an der
Bevolkerung annahernd entsprechende Reprasenta tion. AuBerdem haben
Frauen eher die untergeordneten und assistierenden Positionen inne,
Manner eher die fiihrenden und beaufsichtigenden; zudem
konzentrieren sie sich iiberwiegend auf wenige "frauentypische"
Berufe. 1m Bildungssystem dagegen, vor allem im
Sekundarschulbereich, sind Madchen auf den ersten Blick angemessen
reprasentiert, so daB bereits von einer sozialen Benachteiligung
der Jungen in Realschulen und Gyrnnasien ge sprochen wird (vgl.
Niedersachsischer Landtag 1978, 1979). Fraglich ist aber, ob aus
einer solchen zahlenmal3ig guten Vertretung von Madchen in diesem
Sektor des Bildungssystems gefolgert werden darf, daB sie damit die
gleichen Bildungs-und Berufschancen haben wie Jungen und ob sie
damit der faktischen Gleichberechtigung ein StUck naher gekommen
sind (so z.B. Hogner 1978, Kernich-Mohringer 1978, Krinner 1979,
Kohler und Zymek 1981, Eigler et al. 1980)."
Obwohl Bildungsbenachteiligung seit langem ein Thema der
Ungleichheitsforschung ist, sind die individuellen und
strukturellen Ursachen der neuen Bildungsarmut nur wenig erforscht.
Das Buch schliesst diese Lucke. Wahrend sich der Wettbewerb auf dem
Arbeitsmarkt verscharft, geraten diejenigen ins Hintertreffen, die
den wachsenden Qualifikationsanforderungen nicht nachkommen. Diese
sind von dauerhafter Exklusion aus dem Arbeitsmarkt bedroht - mit
Konsequenzen fur die soziale Integration, die Lebenszufriedenheit,
die Gesundheit und die politischen Einstellungen. Dieses Buch
versammelt die aktuelle Forschung uber die Ursachen und die Folgen
der neuen Ungleichheiten in der Bildungsgesellschaft. Es
beantwortet die Frage, wer heute zu den "Bildungsverlieren"
gehoert, welche individuellen und gesellschaftlichen Ursachen
Bildungsarmut hat, was es fur ein Individuen bedeutet, zu den
"Bildungsverlierern" zu gehoeren, was es eine Gesellschaft kostet,
einen Teil ihrer Jugend quasi "abzuhangen", und sucht nach
effizienten politischen und padagogischen Interventionsansatzen.
Der Band gibt einen Uberblick uber suchtpraventive und
drogenpolitische Massnahmen. Praventionspolitische Strategien
werden beschrieben und u.a. hinsichtlich ihrer Wirksamkeit,
Durchsetzbarkeit und Kosten erortert. Der Band leistet damit einen
Beitrag zur Neuorientierung in der nationalen und internationalen
Drogenpolitik.
