Within the United States, minority and low-income communities
currently bear a disproportionate amount of risk associated with
pollution and other harmful environmental practices. The
environmental justice movement is working to change this fact,
promoting the fair and non-discriminatory treatment of all people
with respect to environmental issues, policies, and regulations.
This fascinating and timely volume explores the relationship
between environmental justice and the government, offering a
comprehensive introduction to the legal, economic, and
philosophical concerns involved in pursuing environmental justice
goals within a federalist system.The authors discuss two case
studies in their investigation of the complex interactions between
environmental justice and government. These analyses offer a
comprehensive view of both the siting and regulation of polluting
activities, as well as a discussion of the effects on major natural
resources such as clean air and drinking water. In each case, the
authors both describe current government responses to the problem
and offer specific recommendations regarding what actions should be
taken in the future. This authoritative book will make an
invaluable addition to courses in environmental law and policy.
Professionals and policymakers working in disciplines such as law,
economics, environmental science, philosophy and political science
will also find this a comprehensive and critical reference.

Yogurt is a fermented food that has existed for centuries with
bioactive properties that have long been thought to be beneficial
to health. The first commercial yogurts, sold over a hundred years
ago in pharmacies, were recommended to treat digestive disorders.
Yogurt: Roles in Nutrition and Impacts on Health compiles the
scientific research to date into a comprehensive reference book
that explores yogurt's role in diet and health, its composition in
micro- and macronutrients, and the potential mechanisms underlying
its health benefits. Yogurt's composition as a unique blend of
macronutrients, vitamins, minerals, and ferments makes yogurt a
nutrient-dense food that is included by health authorities in
food-based dietary guidelines. This book shows how regular yogurt
consumption contributes to the intake of key nutrients, such as
calcium and protein, and is associated with healthy dietary
patterns and lifestyles. The authors review the current evidence
linking yogurt consumption to cardiometabolic health and other
health conditions, including its established benefits in lactose
digestion, its promising role in the prevention of weight
management and type 2 diabetes, and its potential impact on
cardiometabolic risk factors. This reference book is a key resource
for nutrition scientists, dairy researchers, dietitians, health
professionals, and educational institutions looking for a
state-of-the-art review of the scientific evidence on the role of
yogurt in nutrition and health.
Drawing on original manuscripts and Victorian psychological theory,
this study shows that George Eliot was an author who shaped her
sentences as carefully as she wanted her public to read them.
George Eliot's writing process was meticulous in all of its phases,
from manuscript to published text. Each of her extensive novels has
a delicately crafted syntax, for she shaped her individual
sentences as carefully as she wanted her public to read them.
Building on the influence of Victorian psychological theory, this
book explains how George Eliot consciously created subtle shocks
within her grammar-reaching out to her readers beneath the levels
of character and story-in her effort to inspire sympathetic
response.
This is the first book to provide a one stop shop for field
instructors looking for guidance in their work with students - both
practicing social workers providing field instruction, and social
work faculty teaching field education seminars. Indeed, many social
workers report that they learned more in their field placements
than they did in the classroom, and much of this learning can be
attributed to the role field instructor's play in the professional
development of students. Field instructors are generally adjunct
faculty members who hold MSWs from CSWE-accredited schools of
social work and who work in community agencies. The field
instructor: Orients the student to field work, to the field agency,
and to supervision Helps the student prepare the learning contract
Accepts responsibility for the work of the student throughout the
field placement Meets formally with the student each week to
monitor cases, assess the student's performance, and provide
guidance Formally evaluates the student's performance
When Mabel (Chu, Cho-Shin) Tow (1914 1999), one of the first
Chinese women to practice medicine in China and the United States,
shares her story with us, we may experience "the tender gravity of
kindness" (the generative transmission of her lineage). That
lineage becomes Tow's blend of Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and
Christianity. Mabel Tow was a boundary-crosser by being a Christian
in China and a Chinese woman in America. In this reflective work,
eight authors share their unique author-reader relationships with
Strange Kindness as they dramatize further how Tow crossed the
boundaries of gender, culture, religion, language, tradition, and
medical practices. They vividly illustrate Tow's
lineage-in-transmission, moving all into "tikkum olam," the poetic
act of repairing the world.
This volume of new essays represents a collective, academic, and
activist effort to interpret German literature and culture in the
context of the international #MeToo movement, illustrating and
interrogating the ways that "rape cultures" persist. Responding to
the worldwide impact of the #MeToo movement, this volume
investigates not only the ubiquity of sexual abuse and sexual
violence but also the transhistorical and transnational failure to
hold perpetrators accountable. From a range of disciplines, the
collected essays engage current cultural and political discourses
about systemic sexism, feminist theory and practice, and
gender-based discrimination from an academic and activist
perspective. The focus on national cultures of German-speaking
Europe from the mid-eighteenth century to the present captures the
persistence of normalized and institutionalized sexism, reframed
through the lens of a contemporary political and social movement.
German #MeToo argues that sexual violence is not a universal human
constant. Rather, it is nurtured and sustained by the social,
political, cultural, legal, and economic fabric of specific
societies. The authors sustain and vary their exploration of
#MeToo-related issues through considerations of rape, prostitution,
sexual murder, the politics of consent, and victim-blaming as
enacted in literary works by canonical and marginalized authors,
the visual arts, the graphic novel, film, television, and theater.
The analysis of rape myths - of discourses and practices in German
history and culture that subtend and indemnify sexual violence - is
a central subject of this edited volume. Throughout, German #MeToo
challenges narratives of sex-based discrimination while emphasizing
the strategies of resistance and the importance of telling one's
own story.
Throughout Who Will Love Me?, readers laugh, cry, and happy dance
their way into meaningful relationships again. Drawing from her own
transformational experience after sexual assault, Melissa Ann
McDaniel gives sexual assault survivors the tools-and permission-to
heal in ways they never knew were possible. She guides them on a
journey with laughter, tears, and a few WTFs. Within Who Will Love
Me?, sexual assault survivors learn to: Lovingly take back their
power Trust their inner voice Reconnect with their body Build
meaningful relationships And much, much more!
This lab manual is designed to give students experience with a wide variety of model systems currently in use by developmental biologists. Experiments range from classic slide or whole animal observations to more modern immunohistochemistry and manipulation of gene expression. All of these experiments can be completed on a relatively small budget.
