Law and the Political Economy of Hunger (9780198823940)

This book is an inquiry into the role of law in the contemporary political economy of hunger. In the work of many international institutions, governments, and NGOs, law is represented as a solution to the persistence of hunger. This presentation is evident in the efforts to realize a human right to adequate food, as well as in the positioning of law, in the form of regulation, as a tool to protect society from 'unruly' markets. In this monograph, Anna Chadwick draws on theoretical work from a range of disciplines to challenge accounts that portray law's role in the context of hunger as exclusively remedial. The book takes as its starting point claims that financial traders 'caused' the 2007-8 global food crisis by speculating in financial instruments linked to the prices of staple grains. The introduction of new regulations to curb the 'excesses' of the financial sector in order to protect the food insecure reinforces the dominant perception that law ...

49 Ways to Get Rid of the Other Woman : (without Getting Caught) (9781717791900)

49 Ways to Get Rid of The Other Woman Without Getting Caught is a book that deals with the major issue of infidelity in marriage. The book explores the subject through the lens of a wife, seeking to oust the other woman, an intruder, who is threatening her territory. In the pages, Amaka Chika-Mbonu presents a 49-day programme of warfare, both spiritual and temporal, for all couples, to wrestle with the evil of infidelity and adultery. She uses riveting stories-loosely based on true facts garnered over fifteen years as a marital counsellor, using the enshrined word of God-to teach practical lessons. It contains a chronicle of laws, petitions, and supplications. The tone is militant, violent and aggressive, and as in regular warfare, there will be casualties. It is essentially a manual for spiritual warfare. Product details Format ...

Mexico Redux (9781475943306)

Before the tragedy of the Civil War tore the United States in two, America was involved in another war, one that has not received nearly the attention it deserves. In fact, the Mexican-American War, 1846-1848, could arguably be called the training ground for the Civil War a little over a decade later. Author Phillip K. Rose turns the spotlight on this important historical event in American history in Mexico Redux. Rose digs into the heart of this conflict and calls it the most significant war in American history. Through an eclectic mix of fact and fiction, he profiles some of the war's major and minor players, offering new ideas and concepts that challenge the current historical record. Through the eyes of historical figures, the Mexican-American war comes to life. Santa Anna describes his tumultuous experiences at the Alamo and the Battle of Buena Vista while General Zachary Taylor discusses the Battle of Resaca de la Palma in chilling detail. Lesser known individuals, such as na...

Der Pergamonaltar (3805351445)

Würde man heute eine Liste der Weltwunder zusammenstellen, stünde für Berlin sicher der Pergamonaltar obenauf. Der große Altar wurde unter König Eumenes II. in der ersten Hälfte des 2. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. auf dem Burgberg der kleinasiatischen Stadt Pergamon errichtet. Er war 35,64 Meter breit und 33,40 Meter tief. Die von Westen auf den Altar führende Freitreppe hatte eine Breite von fast 20 Metern. Den Sockel schmückte ein Hochrelief, das den Kampf der Giganten gegen die griechischen Götter darstellte. Ein zweiter Fries an den Hofwänden des Altars erzählte die Legende von Telephos, einem Sohn des Herakles. Die Reliefplatten des Altars kamen ab 1879 nach Berlin, seit 1930 wurden sie im eigens dafür errichteten Pergamonmuseum auf der Museumsinsel gezeigt. Volker Kästner und Huberta Kästner erzählen die Geschichte des monumentalen Altars, seiner Wiederentdeckung und erklären die berühmten Friese. Mit zahlreichen Zeichnungen, historischen Abbildungen und detailreichen Nahaufnahmen. ...
