Humanities & Social Sciences2022The Moscow Factor: US Policy toward Sovereign Ukraine and the Kremlin
by Eugene M. Fishel
24 February 2022 was not the beginning of Russia's war on Ukraine. Back in 2014, Russia illegally annexed Crimea from Ukraine, bolstered a separatist conflict in the Donbas region, and attacked Ukraine with units of its regular army and special forces. In each instance of Russian aggression, the U.S. response has often been criticized as inadequate, insufficient, or hesitant. The Moscow Factor: U.S. Policy toward Sovereign Ukraine and the Kremlin is a unique study that examines four key Ukraine-related policy decisions across two Republican and two Democratic U.S. administrations. Author Eugene M. Fishel asks whether, how, and under what circumstances Washington has considered Ukraine’s status as a sovereign nation in its decision-making regarding relations with Moscow. This study situates the stance of the United States toward Ukraine in the broader context of international relations. It fills an important lacuna in existing scholarship and policy discourse by focusing on the complex trilateral—rather than simply bilateral—dynamics among the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia, in 1991–2016. This book brings together for the first time documentary evidence and declassified materials dealing with policy deliberation, retrospective articles authored by former policymakers, and formal memoirs by erstwhile senior officials. The study is also supplemented by open-ended interviews with former and returning officials.

Roman
by Marieke Lucas Rijneveld, Helga Beuningen
Dies ist die Geschichte eines Mannes und eines jungen Mädchens, die Geschichte einer fatalen Liebe von animalischer Wucht und moralischer Zweifelhaftigkeit. Ein langer, heißer Sommer in einem abgelegenen, strenggläubig calvinistischen Dorf. Auf dem Hof eines Milchbauern nähert sich der Tierarzt der vierzehnjährigen Tochter an. Das Mädchen, auf der verzweifelten Suche nach Geborgenheit, verwechselt Begehren mit väterlicher Zuneigung. Der Sommer schreitet voran und die beiden entwickeln eine immer gefährlichere Faszination füreinander … In der Begründung der Jury des Preises der Leipziger Buchmesse, den die Übersetzerin Helga van Beuningen 2022 erhalten hat, heißt es: »Wie mit absolutem Gehör begabt, lässt Helga van Beuningen die sprachlichen Register musikalisch ineinandergreifen, die für die beklemmende Attraktion von Marieke Lucas Rijnevelds Roman Mein kleines Prachttier sorgen. Ein deutsch-niederländisches Virtuos:innenstück.«

Roman
by Marieke Lucas Rijneveld, Helga van Beuningen
Kurz vor Weihnachten bemerkt die zehnjährige Jas, dass der Vater ihr Kaninchen mästet. Sie ist sich sicher, dass es dem Weihnachtsessen zum Opfer fallen wird. Das darf nicht passieren. Also betet Jas zu Gott, er möge ihren älteren Bruder anstelle des Kaninchens nehmen. Am selben Tag bricht ihr Bruder beim Schlittschuhlaufen ins Eis ein und ertrinkt. Die Familie weiß: Das war eine Strafe Gottes, und alle Familienmitglieder glauben, selbst schuld an der Tragödie zu sein. Jas flieht mit ihrem Bruder Obbe und ihrer Schwester Hanna in das Niemandsland zwischen Kindheit und Erwachsensein, in eine Welt voll okkulter Spiele und eigener Gesetze, in der die Geschwister immer mehr den eigenen Sehnsüchten und Vorstellungswelten auf die Spur kommen. Was bedeuten Familie, Glaube, Zusammenhalt? Wie kann man anderen beistehen, wenn man mit den eigenen Dämonen zu kämpfen hat? Marieke Lucas Rijneveld hat einen gewagten, einen kräftigen und lebendigen Roman geschrieben, der unsere innersten Gewissheiten hinterfragt.

EconomicsAugust 2004Bond Scheme for Common Agricultural Policy Reform
by Edited by Alan Swinbank, Richard Tranter
The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is at an impasse. While it is said that existing policies are not tenable, all recent reform plans have been condemned as unacceptable. However, a “bond scheme”, as part of reform that pays more attention to society’s aspirations for the environment and rural development, offers a way forward. This book demystifies the bond scheme proposal and explores concerns expressed by farmers and policy makers. Written by economists, a political scientist and a practising politician, it offers rare insights into EU farm policy.

Forestry & related industriesDecember 1998Forest Policy
International Case Studies
by Edited by Bill Wilson, G C van Kooten, Ian Vertinsky, Louise Arthur
Forest policy involves a complex balance of governmental, social and industrial objectives in an environment where the forests and the institutions are also constantly changing. Across the various forestry jurisdictions there is a wide variety of policy models that have evolved in response to specific societal demands, institutional structures and forest environments. This book is an examination of forest policy in a selection of major forestry jurisdictions, primarily the major competitors in world softwood markets. These include the United States, British Columbia, Alberta, New Zealand, Sweden, Finland, Chile and Russia. These regions represent systems operating with natural forests, plantation forests, initial forest endowments, second/third generation forests, public forestland ownership, private forestland ownership, open markets, highly structured markets, and various responses to sustainability. For each jurisdiction a brief overview to the economy, the contribution of forestry, the resource base, the composition of the forest industry and the major stakeholders is provided. The policy discussions include forest management, timber pricing and export policy, environmental standards, land ownership and use, and the institutional setting relating to government agencies, taxation, labour and capital. Comment is provided on the evolution of the existing policy structure and the chapters finish with an evaluation and prognosis for the jurisdiction. This book is a valuable reference source for forest policy practitioners, students of forestry and political economy and industrial decision-makers seeking to position their business in global forestry.

Agricultural scienceJuly 2012Farm Incomes, Wealth and Agricultural Policy
Filling the CAP's Core Information Gap
by Berkeley Hill
The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has been supporting the incomes of the European Union's agricultural community for half a century. Despite this, there is still no official system in place to track the economic wellbeing of farmers and their families. This book examines the evidence on the overall wealth of farming households, and concludes that in nearly all member states, they are not generally a poor sector of society, with disposable incomes that are similar to, or exceed, the national average. In this updated edition, the author discusses the latest evidence, makes recommendations for gathering better information, and considers the implications for the CAP as we enter the second decade of the 21st century.

Zoology & animal sciencesMay 2021Nutrition and Feeding Organic Cattle
by Robert Blair
Organic cattle farming is on the increase, with consumer demand for organic milk and meat growing yearly. Beginning with an overview of the aims and principles behind organic cattle production, this book presents extensive information about how to feed cattle so that the milk and meat produced meet organic standards, and provides a comprehensive summary of ruminant digestive processes and nutrition. Since the publication of the first edition, global consumers have increasingly become concerned with the sustainability of meat production. Here, Robert Blair considers the interrelationships of sustainable practices and profitability of organic herds, reviewing how to improve forage production and quality, and minimizing the need for supplementary feeding using off-farm ingredients. This new edition also covers: - Managing a recurrent shortage of organic feed ingredients, due to increased GM feed crop cultivation worldwide - Current findings on appropriate breeds and grazing systems for forage-based organic production - Diet-related health issues in organic herds and the effects of organic production on meat and milk quality. Required reading for animal science researchers, advisory personnel that service the organic milk and beef industries and students interested in organic milk and meat production, this book is also a useful resource for organic farming associations, veterinarians, and feed and food industry personnel.

EconomicsSeptember 1997Common Agricultural Policy, 2nd Edition
by Edited by Christopher Ritson, David R Harvey
The first edition of this book, published in 1991 with the title The Common Agricultural Policy and the World Economy, was well received as a timely analysis of this fast-moving but important subject. However, several major developments, such as general CAP reform, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), expansion of the European Union, and relationships with eastern Europe, have justified the need for a new edition. As a result, the book has been thoroughly updated, with some completely new chapters added and others replaced. It has also be rewritten with a greater emphasis on the needs of students for a well-integrated, comprehensive textbook.

Robust health care systems are paramount for the health, security, and prosperity of people and countries as a whole. This book provides for the first time a chronicle of the struggle for, and eventual success of, universal health coverage (UHC) in Tanzania. Beginning with an introduction to primary health care in the country, from its historical foundations to the major milestones of implementation, this book then considers stewardship of this important aspect of health systems over time. Written in a way to allow the application of lessons learned to other countries' contexts, this book covers: - Policy and governance issues such as leadership, human resources, and financing of health systems; - Practical aspects of health system delivery, including supply chains, community care, new technologies, and the integration of services for particular population groups; - The impact and mitigation of global events on health systems, such as resilience and preparedness in the light of disease outbreaks or climate change, and social, commercial, and political influences. Concluding with a look to the future, forecasting the changes and new solutions needed to adapt to a changing world, this book is a valuable reference for policy makers, global health practitioners, health system managers, researchers, students, and all those with an interest in primary health care and reforms - both in Tanzania and beyond.
