I 130 essays fortæller forfatteren om sanserne - sådan som vi "måske" bruger dem, hvis vi altså får lov til det! Han vender op og ned på de traditionelle begreber om hvad sanselighed er. Forfatteren beskriver sanser og de sansede muligheder for almen menneskelig udvikling - og påpeger vigtigheden af, at åbenhed, imødekommenhed, kærlighed og samvær(d) er basis for udviklingen af sansede livs og erkendelsesprocesser.

Velkommen til det moderne landbrugskursus og en indføring i Rudolf Steiners tanker, som stadig er lige aktuelle. Den filosofi, der ligger bag den biodynamiske dyrkningsmetode, blev udviklet af Rudolf Steiner. Steiners landbrugskursus fra 1924 består af otte foredrag om biodynamisk jordbrug, og netop det kursus har dannet grundlag for al snak om biodynamik i jordbrug lige siden. I denne bog bliver principperne gjort tilgængelige og forståelige for alle med interesse for den biodynamiske jordbrugs oprindelige principper. Steiner er evig aktuel, og aldrig har der været et større behov for, at vi tager vare på naturen, end der er nu. Hvorfor graver man kohorn ned i jorden, og hvilken indflydelse har planeterne på planternes vækst? Her får du masser af inspiration og svar på de store spørgsmål. Læs også om naturens fascinerende rytmer, det evige kredsløb og de mest intime sammenhænge. Bogen er relevant uanset om du blot har en lille have, er selvforsynende eller ligefrem landmand. Faktisk behøver du slet ikke selv at have fingrene i mulden for at interessere dig for naturen og dens dybere sammenhænge.

A radical vision for a better future: an economy that works for us, rather than the other way around.As this major German bestseller reports, our world is at a tipping point, and we feel it every day. Costs are rising, the gap between the rich and poor is increasing, natural resources are depleted, and the effects of climate change are starting to take hold. We are under increasing social and environmental stress. But, as leading economist Maja Göpel argues here, there is another path forward.She invites us to imagine what we want our future to look like, and offers solutions that will help us to get there. It¿s time to question our principles, set new goals, and re-evaluate our priorities. Time to rethink our world and find new ways of living that don¿t drain our planet any further. We need a fair distribution of wealth, and a way to reconcile the social with the ecological. We need to work smarter, not harder.Critical, yet full of encouragement, Maja Göpel chooses surprising and enlightening examples to illustrate how we can leave behind our familiar ways of living to achieve a better future.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • NAMED ONE OF TIME'S TEN BEST NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE DECADE"Inspiring . . . extraordinary . . . [Katherine Boo] shows us how people in the most desperate circumstances can find the resilience to hang on to their humanity. Just as important, she makes us care."-PeopleNAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times • The Washington Post • O: The Oprah Magazine • USA Today • New York • The Miami Herald • San Francisco Chronicle • NewsdayIn this brilliant, breathtaking book by Pulitzer Prize winner Katherine Boo, a bewildering age of global change and inequality is made human through the dramatic story of families striving toward a better life in Annawadi, a makeshift settlement in the shadow of luxury hotels near the Mumbai airport.As India starts to prosper, the residents of Annawadi are electric with hope. Abdul, an enterprising teenager, sees "a fortune beyond counting" in the recyclable garbage that richer people throw away. Meanwhile Asha, a woman of formidable ambition, has identified a shadier route to the middle class. With a little luck, her beautiful daughter, Annawadi's "most-everything girl," might become its first female college graduate. And even the poorest children, like the young thief Kalu, feel themselves inching closer to their dreams. But then Abdul is falsely accused in a shocking tragedy; terror and global recession rock the city; and suppressed tensions over religion, caste, sex, power, and economic envy turn brutal. With intelligence, humor, and deep insight into what connects people to one another in an era of tumultuous change, Behind the Beautiful Forevers, based on years of uncompromising reporting, carries the reader headlong into one of the twenty-first century's hidden worlds-and into the hearts of families impossible to forget.

How can we create appropriate practices for research collaboration in the face of climate change, widening inequalities, decreasing biodiversity and untenable consumption levels? Transdisciplinary co-production focuses on real-world problems through collaborative processes that include a wide variety of knowledge and expertise.

Bringing together the perspectives of researchers, policy makers, activists, educators and practitioners, this book critically interrogates the Western-centric assumptions underpinning education and development agendas and the colonial legacies of violence they often uphold. The book considers the crucial connection between the idea of sustainable futures and the demand to decolonize education. Containing an innovative mixture of text, stories and poetry, it explores how decolonized futures can be conceived and enacted, offering theoretical and practical examples, including from practice in educational and cultural organizations. In doing so, the book highlights education's potential role in facilitating processes of reparative justice that can contribute to decolonized futures.

Over the last three decades, the governments of various countries around the world, including Mozambique, have been focusing on the local economic development model, which essentially states that development should be a process that has its starting point in resources (economic, material and human), in the potential of each municipality, district or province, and above all, in SMEs, which occupy a strategic position in reducing poverty and promoting economic development. This book reflects on the contribution of SMEs in general, and mills in particular, to Local Economic Development, and is therefore an important theoretical contribution to readers. In fact, this is a masterpiece whose relevance concerns not only Mozambique, but also, and above all, all developing countries, so the acquisition and reading of this book is a necessary recommendation to broaden the horizons of entrepreneurs, businesspeople, researchers, academics, government officials and other interested parties.

The year 2023 was the warmest year in history since records have been kept, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service. The global average temperature was 1.48 °C. This increase was due to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation that raised ocean and atmospheric temperatures. The year 2023 was marked by extreme heat waves, droughts, fires, floods and storms. This research performed a characterization of the global average temperature change variable, a normality test was applied to the data through the Shapiro Wilk analysis, it was found that the global average temperature change deviates from the average, the future projection through the linear regression forecast model, year by year since 2024 indicates that it will increase until 2030, resulting in the year 2026 the temperature of the planet will be 1.5°C; This will seriously affect the health of some 350 million inhabitants who will be left without access to drinking water, exposed to extreme heat or freezing temperatures, and will be at risk of death.

Why some of Asia's authoritarian regimes have democratized as they have grown richer-and why others haven'tOver the past century, Asia has been transformed by rapid economic growth, industrialization, and urbanization-a spectacular record of development that has turned one of the world's poorest regions into one of its richest. Yet Asia's record of democratization has been much more uneven, despite the global correlation between development and democracy. Why have some Asian countries become more democratic as they have grown richer, while others-most notably China-haven't? In From Development to Democracy, Dan Slater and Joseph Wong offer a sweeping and original answer to this crucial question.Slater and Wong demonstrate that Asia defies the conventional expectation that authoritarian regimes concede democratization only as a last resort, during times of weakness. Instead, Asian dictators have pursued democratic reforms as a proactive strategy to revitalize their power from a position of strength. Of central importance is whether authoritarians are confident of victory and stability. In Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan these factors fostered democracy through strength, while democratic experiments in Indonesia, Thailand, and Myanmar were less successful and more reversible. At the same time, resistance to democratic reforms has proven intractable in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, China, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Reconsidering China's 1989 crackdown, Slater and Wong argue that it was the action of a regime too weak to concede, not too strong to fail, and they explain why China can allow democracy without inviting instability.The result is a comprehensive regional history that offers important new insights about when and how democratic transitions happen-and what the future of Asia might be.

The fundamental causes of poverty and wealth have always been of such knowledge that many men and women throughout the world die of envy. But groping around for lack of specifics, some in their thoughts or opinions believe that both are matters of heredity. While others say that they are the logical results of choices and habits applied over the long term. These are the arguments that the majority of human beings around the world put forward when it comes to poverty and wealth. In this book, we're going to reveal what each of the aforementioned categories does on a daily basis, so that anyone reading this can find their answer, and also discover the genuine causes that give rise to poverty and wealth. Because these two subjects are constantly the subject of debate and discussion around the world, the author, as a professional entrepreneur, decided to shed some light on them. For some, wealth is diabolical, which means that anyone who is rich is also satanic.

The participatory approach requires active listening to local people and the patience to progress at a reasonable pace to encourage local players to learn. The right balance must be struck between the race to achieve objectives through commitments to donors (or development partners) and the long-term objective of improving the capacity of the local players for whom the actions are developed, which will make it easier to sustain the gains made. It is a means of building the capacity of local players so that they can constantly play their part in the local development process. The better local players understand their roles, responsibilities and the challenges of developing their community, the more they will become involved.

Bien qu'il existe en Éthiopie des structures solides et fonctionnelles de coordination de l'aide entre le gouvernement et les donateurs, qui soutiennent le leadership du pays sur ses politiques et stratégies de développement, près de la moitié de l'aide au développement en 2013 a été déboursée en dehors du système financier et d'approvisionnement du pays, ce qui nuit à l'appropriation par le pays et à la durabilité des efforts de développement. Afin d'accroître l'utilisation par les donateurs du système du pays d'accueil en Éthiopie, l'auteur a suggéré de déployer le modèle de l'Alliance mondiale pour les vaccins et l'immunisation/Soutien de la société civile pour la fourniture de l'aide dans tous les secteurs. Comme ce modèle utilise les systèmes financiers et d'approvisionnement du gouvernement hôte pour débourser les fonds d'aide, le gouvernement reste responsable de la conception et de la gestion de l'aide au développement et les organisations non gouvernementales jouent un rôle dans la mise en ¿uvre. L'étude a également montré qu'avec le nouveau paysage du financement du développement, la domination continue des donateurs occidentaux dans le partenariat et le dialogue avec les pays bénéficiaires n'est plus d'actualité. Au contraire, on assiste à l'émergence d'une dynamique d'appropriation par les pays, que les pays en développement et leurs partenaires de développement doivent adopter et défendre.

This paper is based on a study of the South Pacific Appropriate Technology Foundation undertaken in 1983 as part of an ITDG institutional initiative.

This edited volume explores the principle of solidarity in international and EU law. Although the concept is regularly invoked in international and EU legal and policy debates alike, its meaning, nature and functions, as well as normative contours still remain nebulous.The contributions in this volume reflect on the legal trajectory of solidarity in international and EU law and offer unique insights into the evolution and status of the principle in different fields of international and EU law. By doing so, the book also serves as a springboard for answering broader questions pertaining to what the stage of development of this principle may imply for the two legal orders and their interaction.As the chapters of this book show, the debate on solidarity is premised on conflicting visions regarding the values underpinning the international legal order as well as the self-interest or community-oriented driving forces behind States' action at the international level. The regional (EU law) perspective offers a new lens through which to revisit classic questions pertaining to the nature of modern international law and to assess its continuing relevance in a world of regional organizations presenting different visions (and levels) of co-operation.This book, the second volume to appear in the Global Europe Series, will appeal to international and EU law researchers and policy-makers alike with an interest in the nature and function of the principle of solidarity in international and EU law.Eva Kassoti is Senior researcher in EU and International Law at the T.M.C. Asser Institute in The Hague, The Netherlands and the Academic Co-ordinator of CLEER.Narin Idriz is Researcher in EU Law at the T.M.C. Asser Institute in The Hague, The Netherlands.

The Sustainable Development GoalsThrough the historic UN General Assembly Summit in September 2015, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted by the UN¿s 193 member states. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their 169 targets are the main core of this agenda. The Sustainable Development Goals are a clearcut, universal agreement to end poverty and all its facets and establish an equal, just and safe world ¿ for people, planet and prosperity. The SDGs have been developed through an extensive consultative process that brought national governments and millions of citizens from the globe together to negotiate and adopt this ambitious agenda.The concept of sustainable development was adopted by the World Commission on Environment and Development, and there is a consensus agreement that sustainable development encompasses a comprehensive and integrated approach to economic, social, and environmental processes. Debates on sustainable development, however, have focused primarily on the environmental and economic dimensions.

From a sociological perspective, this book explores issues related to population mobility, family pensions, and the lives of workers and peasants during the 70 years of urbanization since the founding of New China from the perspectives of population, pension security, employment structure transformation, and social insurance systems, thus exploring the deep logic behind China's successful experience. The relevant issues studied in this book are a systematic summary of the experiences and lessons learned from social reforms since the founding of the country and also provide guidance for the future direction of social development and change.
