Empirische Analyse des Handelns
Ausgewählte Schriften
by Paul F. Lazarsfeld, Christian Fleck, Nico Stehr, Hella Beister
Paul F. Lazarsfeld, in Wien geboren und 1933 in die USA emigriert, gelangte vor allem als Methodologe der quantitativen Sozialforschung zu internationalem Ansehen.Weniger bekannt ist, daß er sich zeit seines Lebens auch mit der Frage beschäftigte, wie man soziales Handeln erklären könnte. Die in vorliegendem Band versammelten ausgewählten Schriften präsentieren erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung seine verstreuten Arbeiten zu diesem Thema. Lazarsfeld entwirft hier die Grundzüge einer empirischen Handlungsanalyse, die eine überraschende Alternative zu den gegenwärtig dominanten Modellen der Rational-Choice-Theorie darstellt. Paul F. Lazarsfeld (1901–1976) war Professor für Soziologie an der Columbia University in New York und Gründer des Bureau of Applied Social Research.

Key Questions in Environmental Toxicology
A Study and Revision Guide
by J P F D'Mello
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.

Christian Dualist Heresies in the Byzantine World, c. 650-c. 1450
by Janet Hamilton, Bernard Hamilton
Christian dualism originated in the reign of Constans II (641-68). It was a popular religion, which shared with orthodoxy an acceptance of scriptual authority and apostolic tradition and held a sacramental doctrine of salvation, but understood all these in a radically different way to the Orthodox Church. One of the differences was the strong part demonology played in the belief system. This text traces, through original sources, the origins of dualist Christianity throughout the Byzantine Empire, focusing on the Paulician movement in Armenia and Bogomilism in Bulgaria. It presents not only the theological texts, but puts the movements into their social and political context.

Humanity in the Crisis Zone
Field Report of a Nurse on H umanitarian Aid with Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in South Sudan
by Andreas F. Lutz
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.
