While technological advancement leads to societal benefits in terms of economic growth, it also brings with it challenges in its impact on the environment or human health. Sustainable development seeks a uniform means of comparing the economic benefits with the environmental and health costs associated with the implementation of a new technology. This revised encyclopaedia investigates sustainability initiatives across a range of industries, providing insight into future opportunities for technological development. A broad spectrum of human challenges have only become more intense since publication of the first edition. For example, climate change is now observed across the globe as a contributor to large scale weather events, including extreme drought in Australia, intense wildfires in California, and flooding along the great rivers of Africa, North and South America. Land in the Amazon rain forest is destroyed to provide increased cropland, contributing to climate change. Expansion of the use of biomass as a raw material in chemical processing leads to food shortages. In many cases, these challenges have the greatest impact on the poorest nations, and the most polluting manufacturing facilities are located in the poorest communities, demonstrating social justice challenges. This encyclopaedia provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges of modern technology, and the innovations that are leading to better use of limited resources and improved resiliency as we learn to adapt to a changing world. Each chapter examines in depth a technological solution to support a specific human need, evaluates it relative to its impacts on the environment and human health, and considers the social justice issues underlying its development. The new edition provides a stronger link between manufacturing and climate change, updates on new technologies for the generation, distribution and storage of energy, new concepts in resiliency and modularity that have changed manufacturing and chemical processes, and emphasizes the trade-offs required to obtain desired products while minimizing environmental impact.

Recently, research on the ways in which goals, affect, and self-regulation influence one another has enjoyed an upsurge. New findings are being published and new theories are being developed to integrate these findings. This volume reports on the latest of this work, including a substantial amount of data and theory that has not yet been published. Emanating from a conference exploring affect as both a cause and effect in various social contexts, this book examines some of the complex and reciprocal relationships among goals, self structures, feelings, thoughts, and behavior. The chapters address:
*the effects of intrinsic versus extrinsic goals;
*the different effects of approach versus avoidance goals;
*the role of awareness in goal pursuit and affective states;
*the meaning of affective states in relation to goal attainment;
*the impact of hedonistic concerns as motivational factors;
*how people regulate their moods; and
*the role of the self in affective experiences.

Encyclopedia of Sustainable Technologies, Eight Volume Set provides an authoritative assessment of the sustainable technologies that are currently available or in development. Sustainable technology includes the scientific understanding, development and application of a wide range of technologies and processes and their environmental implications. Systems and lifecycle analyses of energy systems, environmental management, agriculture, manufacturing and digital technologies provide a comprehensive method for understanding the full sustainability of processes. In addition, the development of clean processes through green chemistry and engineering techniques are also described. The book is the first multi-volume reference work to employ both Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Triple Bottom Line (TBL) approaches to assessing the wide range of technologies available and their impact upon the world. Both approaches are long established and widely recognized, playing a key role in the organizing principles of this valuable work.

Researchers have been addressing social judgment from a cognitive perspective for more than 15 years. Within recent years, however, it has become increasingly clear that many of the models and assumptions initially adopted are in need of revision. The chapters in this volume point out where the original models and assumptions have fallen short, and suggest directions for future research and theorizing. The contributors address issues related to judgment, memory, affect, attitudes, and self-perception. In addition, many present theoretical frameworks within which these different issues can be integrated. As such, this volume represents the transition from one era of social cognition research to the next.

Why and to what extent is Protestant faith constituted in a church? What is the relationship between the a oeCommunion of Saintsa referred to in the Creed to the lived (or not lived) sociality of the Church? And if these questions give rise to tensions, how are these to be dealt with both theologically and in practical parish work? Luther, Troeltsch, Bonhoeffer and contemporary sociology are important reference points for the resultant interdisciplinary discussions.

Excerpt from book: Lesson II The Pupils and Some of Their Needs Lesson II. THE PUPILS AND SOME OF THEIR NEEDS The teacher must know and understand his pupils. He must study them as a group and as indi- cent pupil viduals. He must know their peculiarities and be ready to meet their needs. The whole success of the teaching depends upon this. The curriculum of the Jewish religious school is generally so arranged as to reserve the teaching of the Post-Biblical period of Jewish history for the senior grades, which in many schools form the Confirmation and Post-Confirmation Classes. The lessons in this course will be arranged to meet the needs of a two years' course of instruction. This arrangement of the curriculum means that the teacher will deal with a different type of child life and mind than that met in the younger classes. The usual age of confirmation is that at which the boy and girl pass out of childhood and enter into what is known as early adolescence. The teacher would do well to instruct himself in the psychology of this period. (See G. Stanley Hall, "Adolescence," 2 vols.) The docility of the child now gives way to the self-assertiveness of youth. Children are restless in this period, impressionable, given to day-dreams, to love of adventure, physical and spiritual. It is the age of chivalry. The altruistic virtues make their first appearance under the stress of the expanding self. It is a critical time. The man is emerging; the girl is passing into young womanhood. Repression and suppression are difficult. Nagging at such a timewill absolutely spoil the emerging self. The wise teacher will study his pupils and learn how to divert this restlessness into helpful and constructive activity. It is evident that the instruction in these classes must be along other lines than those fo...

Die Arbeitsmarktsoziologie beschaftigt sich mit den sozialen Determinanten bei der Erklarung von Arbeitsmarktprozessen. Dies beinhaltet u. a. den Zusammenhang zwischen Bildung und der Positionierung auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, die Risiken von Arbeitslosigkeit, die Rolle der Familie fur Erwerbsentscheidungen und die Wirkung institutioneller Regelungen. Aus soziologischer Perspektive wird beleuchtet, welche Arbeitsmarktprozesse die Entstehung, die Dauerhaftigkeit und die Veranderung sozialer Ungleichheit bedingen. Der Arbeitsmarkt pragt moderne Gesellschaften massgeblich: Das System sozialer Sicherung sowie die individuellen Lebensverhaltnisse hangen vom Zugang zur Erwerbsarbeit ab. Der Inhalt* Theorien des Arbeitsmarktes * UEbergange in Ausbildung und berufliche Platzierung* Soziale Mobilitat* Arbeitslosigkeit* Betrieb sowie Berufe und Arbeitsmarkt* Lohnbildung und Lohnverteilung* Berufliche Weiterbildung* Migration und ethnische Ungleichheit auf dem Arbeitsmarkt* Berufliche Geschlechtersegregation* Arbeitsmarkt und Demografie* Methoden der Arbeitsmarktforschung Die ZielgruppenStudierende, Lehrende und Forschende der Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften sowie Praktiker, die die (sozialen) Wirkungen von Massnahmen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt einschatzen moechten.

"Der vollendete Faust" (ver ff.: 1836) verlegt den Faust ins Irrenhaus. Das Drama des d nischen Schriftstellers Jens Baggesen (1764-1826), der auch Werke auf Deutsch verfasste, ist nicht nur eine Satire auf Goethes Faust-Fragment. Baggesen l sst auch Goethe, Jean Paul, Madame de Sta l, Fichte und Wieland selbst auftreten als Zuschauer einer Faust-Auff hrung im Tollhaus. Neben dieser gern ironischen, aber respektvollen Darstellung der kulturellen Elite, ist es eine wilde Satire auf den Ich- und Geniekult der Vertreter der Romantik und des Sturm und Drang. Gleichzeitig zeigt es die politischen Zust nde im 1806 aufgel sten Heiligen R mischen Reich Deutscher Nation, das nach verheerenden milit rischen Niederlagen von Napoleons Truppen besetzt worden war. Dieses wilde Theaterst ck liegt jetzt zum ersten Mal in einer sprachlich modernisierten Fassung vor.
