Viren, Klima- und Strukturwandel – wir leben in Zeiten des Umbruchs. Das spüren wir im Alltag und es fällt uns schwer, dem etwas entgegenzusetzen. Etwas, das uns Ruhe, Halt und Tiefe gibt. Auch in Religionen finden viele Menschen keine Antworten mehr. Aber die Sehnsucht nach Sinn und Spiritualität, die gehört zu uns Menschen dazu. Viele lenken sich davon ab, andere sind ihr auf der Spur: Sie wandern durch den Wald, machen etwas Künstlerisches, verreisen an einen einsamen Ort, besuchen ein Yogaretreat oder einen Meditationskurs. Das Interesse an spirituellen Praktiken wächst – auch wissenschaftlich. Philosoph und Bestsellerautor Michael Bordt SJ schöpft aus der über Jahrhunderte gewachsenen spirituellen Praxis des Jesuitenordens und zeigt Wege, wie wir unserer Sehnsucht folgen können. Dabei nimmt er auch die anderen Religionen in den Blick. Raus aus dem alltäglichen Hamsterrad, hin zu einer neuen Geistesgegenwart und einer Heimat in uns selbst – und die ist für jede und jeden erreichbar.

Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology is designed as a self-study tool for undergraduate students. Questions review the origin, characterization and environmental distribution of major pollutants, followed by their absorption and metabolic disposition in living organisms. They address implications for the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary dysfunction and neurological conditions in relation to gaseous pollutants, particulates, persistent organic compounds and radioactive emissions, then cover the impact of pollutants on biodiversity, food safety, and water contamination. This book: - Covers toxicology from human morbidity, ecological impact and biodiversity perspectives, and emphasises the impact of diverse organic pollutants in worsening these interconnected phenomena, leading to wider environmental emergencies; - Provides a selection of fill-in-the-gap, multiple choice and short answer question types for students to vary their learning and enhance motivation; - Includes full answer rationales, allowing students to gain true insight into the subject. Providing support to programmes across environmental science, ecology and human health, and covering all the major biological toxins and pollutants as well as unintended consequences of actions designed to improve outcomes, this book may be used in conjunction with the companion volume Introduction to Environmental Toxicology.

A hospital somewhere in remote South Sudan. A place where peoples’ lives are marked by extreme poverty, war, violence, the climate crisis and the daily struggle for survival. How does it feel to be human under these conditions? What moves someone to voluntarily go where nobody would want to? Andreas Lutz takes you on a journey to a project run by the humanitarian aid organization Médecins Sans Frontières in the northeast of South Sudan. Impressed by encounters with people who live under the precarious conditions of this crisis zone, he writes about his experiences as a caregiver and, among other things, about how healthcare provision works with very limited resources.
