Taylor & Francis Ltd Geographies of Food and Power
Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive overview of the production and consumption of food, suitable for use in undergraduate classrooms, either at the intermediate or advanced level. It takes an intersectional approach to difference and power and approaches standard subjects in the geography of food with a fresh perspective focusing on inequality, uneven production and legacies of colonialism. The book also focuses on places and regions often overlooked in conventional narratives, such as the Americas in the domestication of plants. The topics covered in the textbook include: descriptions and analyses of food systems histories of agricultural development with a focus on the roles of different regions major commodities such as meat, grains and produce with a focus on the place of production contemporary challenges in the food system, including labor, disasters/conflict and climate change reTrade Review"This is the geography textbook for the class I always wished I’d taken, progressing from introductory concepts to sophisticated analysis over the arc of a semester. With terrific suggestions for supplementary reading, watching, and discussion, Amy Trauger’s Geographies of Food and Power is set to become a classic foundation for generations of geographers." Raj Patel, Research Professor, Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, The University of Texas at Austin, USA. "Geographies of Food and Power makes a critical contribution to ongoing debates about the historical and contemporary structures of our food system along with the social and environmental implications. Using an intersectional lens, Trauger introduces several concepts and theoretical perspectives to reveal challenges and point to promising pathways forward. This is an essential text for students of geography and food studies along with anyone interested in just and sustainable food futures." Charles Z. Levkoe, Canada Research Chair in Equitable and Sustainable Food Systems, Lakehead University, Canada.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Understanding Risk to Wildlife from Exposures to
Book SynopsisUnderstanding Risk to Wildlife from Exposures to Per- and Polyfluorinated Alkyl Substances (PFAS) provides the most recent summary of toxicity data relevant to mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, and provides values for use in risk assessment applications. Predicting the bioaccumulation of PFAS in terrestrial wildlife (including humans) has proven to be extremely complex. As a group, PFAS act differently than traditional non-ionic organic molecules, where PFAS can break down and reform, whereas some are demonstrated to be extremely persistent. Where sufficient data are provided, this book establishes toxicity reference values (TRVs), which are derived to assist in characterizing environmental sources of contamination and making risk-based decisions.Features: Provides toxicity reference values (TRVs) for vertebrates (mammals, birds, amphibians) for PFAS, where sufficient data are available, and includes objective supporting background informatTable of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) Chapter 3 Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) Chapter 4 Perfluorohexane Sulfonate (PFHxS) Chapter 5 Perfluororoheptanoic Acid (PFHpA) Chapter 6 Perfluorononanoic Acid (PFNA) Chapter 7 Perfluorobutane Sulfonate (PFBS) Chapter 8 6:2 Fluorotelomer Sulfonate (6:2 FTS) Chapter 9 Perfluorodecanoic Acid (PFDA) References Index

Book SynopsisClimatic and Environmental Threats to Cultural Heritage examines the challenges that environmental change, both sudden and long-term, poses to the preservation of cultural material.Acknowledging the diversity of human cultural heritage across collecting institutions, heritage sites and communities, the book highlights how, in Australia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific, the quest to preserve such precious knowledge relies on records and narratives being available to inform decisions now and into the future. Bringing together a diverse range of stakeholders who have an interest in and responsibility for the care of cultural heritage material and places of cultural heritage value, the book explores their thinking on and actions in relation to issues of climate change and environmental risk.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Landscape of Utopia
Book SynopsisA collection of short interludes, think pieces, and critical essays on landscape, utopia, philosophy, culture, and food, all written in a highly original and engaging style by academic and theorist Tim Waterman. Exploring power and democracy, and their shaping of public space and public life, taste, etiquette, belief and ritual, and foodways in community and civic life, the book provides a much-needed critical approach to landscape imaginaries. It discusses landscape in its broadest sense, as a descriptor of the relationship between people and place that occurs everywhere on land, from cities to countryside, suburb to wilderness. With over fifty black and white illustrations interspersing the twenty-six chapters, this is a book for professionals, academics, and students to dive into and spark discussion on new modes of thinking in the wake of unfolding global crises, such as COVID-19, climate change, fascism 2.0, and beyond.Trade Review"This collection, like all Tim Waterman's work, is a delight. He combines reflections on the relationship between place, space and social process with a drive towards imagining better lives and the conditions that might generate them - thus towards utopia. The varied pieces, written with elegance and grace, are thought-provoking, engaging and at times deeply moving." – Ruth Levitas, author, Utopia as Method, Professor Emerita, School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies, University of Bristol, UK"The Landscape of Utopia delivers a rich new contribution to utopian theory and lively reflections and meditations on what it means to think and practice better ways of living and being in very particular places. Tim finds utopian promise and provocation in practice and imagination; what is and what might be; the ordinary and the fantastic. With its extensive range of reference, sociological curiosity, agile thinking and inviting prose, the book returns us refreshed to familiar landscapes and invites us to keep hold of transgressive hope for changing them." – Lisa Garforth, author, Green Utopias, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, Newcastle University, UK"Intelligent and perceptive, Waterman draws on local stories from a wide range of places and times, weaving the narrative in and out of the subject, landscape, with insight and humour. The book is timely because it comes at a point when the discourse on ‘landscape’ is expanding, gaining interest by scholars and professionals across disciplines to address global concerns, climate change, cultural heritage, food security and issues of identity. Many of these concerns are addressed in the 26 chapters, some a single paragraph and others several pages, a statement, a reflection and food for thought. Waterman keeps his citation to a minimum, introducing key landscape scholars in an offhand manner to pique the reader and avoid the ‘stuffiness’ of academic writing. The fresh narrative of ‘landscape’ will be of interest to non-academics, architects and landscape architects, anyone interested in the environment, culture and shifting world politics and how they affect popular taste and ordinary citizens." – Jala Makhzoumi, editor of The Right to Landscape, Adjunct Professor of Landscape Architecture, American University of Beirut, President, Lebanese Landscape Association, LebanonTable of ContentsForeword by Tom Moylan Preface: The Landscape(s) of Utopia(s) 1.
