Social Consequences of Labour...

Carlotta Giustozzi

Das Buch untersucht die sozialen Folgen von Arbeitsmarktmarginaliserung für nahe soziale Beziehungen und gesellschaftliche Partizipation in Deutschland. Dabei zeigen Mehrebenenmodelle und Längsschnittanalysen, die individuelle, haushaltsbezogene und regionale sozio-ökonomische Faktoren analysieren, dass finanzielle Schwierigkeiten nur marginal soziale Exklusion erklären können. Vielmehr sind soziale Rollen, Normen und Identität ausschlaggebend für eine Arbeitsmarktmarginalisierung.

Sealand Dynasties The: The...

Editors Charles River

Thanks to countless written sources and corroborating archaeological evidence, the chronology of the ancient Near East is fairly well-known by modern scholars, but as with most periods in history, there are exceptions. In ancient Mesopotamia’s otherwise well-documented history, there were two dynasties that historians and archaeologists are only now beginning to understand: the Sealand I, or First Sealand Dynasty (c. 1742-1460 BCE), and the Sealand II, or Second Sealand Dynasty (c. 1025-1005 BCE). These dynasties are named after the way they are referred to in ancient texts, and they likely originated in the marshy region of southern Mesopotamia. The texts mentioning these dynasties documented them as legitimate Babylonian dynasties for the most part, but few details are ever related about the dynasties or their rulers, even though both dynasties coincided with periods when there was a lack of central power in Mesopotamia and the Sealand dynasties were briefly able to assume control of the city of Babylon itself. 
	The ephermal nature of Sealand’s rule is not completely understood by experts, to the extent that all kinds of aspects of these dynasties remain open to debate. Ancient sources provide an outline of these dynasties, as well as some information concerning major events, but the nature of the Sealand government, how the people lived, and even where their cities were located (if any existed) all remain unclear. Due to problems with sources, scholars have largely avoided the Sealand dynasties and the topic of the Sealand in general in favor of better-documented periods in Mesopotamian history. That being said, some recent archaeological discoveries have helped provide a base for future research that may solve some of these riddles.

The Petroleum Papers - Inside...

Geoff Dembicki

Burning fossil fuels will cause catastrophic global warming: this is what top American oil executives were told by scientists in 1959. But they ignored that warning. Instead, they developed one of the biggest, most polluting oil sources in the world—the oil sands in Alberta, Canada. As investigative journalist Geoff Dembicki reveals in this explosive book, the decades-long conspiracy to keep the oil sands flowing into the US would turn out to be one of the biggest reasons for the world's failure to stop the climate crisis. 
 
 
 
In The Petroleum Papers, Dembicki draws from confidential oil industry documents to uncover for the first time how companies like Exxon, Koch Industries, and Shell built a global right-wing echo chamber to protect oil sands profits—a misinformation campaign that continues to this day. He also tells the high-stakes stories of people fighting back: a Seattle lawyer who brought down Big Tobacco and is now going after Big Oil, a Filipina activist whose family drowned in a climate disaster, and a former Exxon engineer pushed out for asking hard questions. 
 
 
 
With experts now warning we have less than a decade to get global emissions under control, The Petroleum Papers provides a step-by-step account of how we got to this precipice—and the politicians and companies who deserve our blame.
