Synopsis

Food Waste Facts tackles the pressing issue of global food waste, revealing that approximately one-third of all food produced never gets consumed. This book delves into the economic and environmental consequences of this waste, highlighting the inefficiencies within our supply chains and the impact of consumer behavior. Understanding these factors is crucial, as food waste significantly contributes to economic losses, greenhouse gas emissions, and widespread food insecurity.

The book progresses by first establishing a historical and social context of food production and consumption and then analyzing inefficiencies at each stage, from agricultural production to retail, alongside exploring the psychological and economic drivers behind consumer waste. It emphasizes the importance of accurate data and standardized measurement, drawing on information from international bodies and academic research to support its claims. One intriguing insight is the potential for economic opportunity through reducing waste, challenging the notion of it being an unavoidable byproduct.

Ultimately, the book advocates for a more sustainable food system through responsible consumption and policy recommendations. It takes a pragmatic, solutions-oriented approach, offering actionable strategies for individuals, businesses, and governments, while also acknowledging regional differences and ongoing debates within the field. This makes Food Waste Facts a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand and address this critical global problem.

The Devil's Dictionary

Ambrose Bierce

This timeless work of biting satirical wit presents an A-to-Z lexicon of common English terms, and what we actually mean by them. The renowned author Ambrose Bierce produced classic works in a range of genres, from fantasy and horror to realistic tales drawn from his experience in the Civil War. Among his most beloved books is The Devil’s Dictionary, a work of wry humor that remains one of the funniest assessments of American language and manners. Through epigrams, essays, vignettes, and verse, Bierce skewers religion, class, politics, romance, and more.  Included, you’ll find such pithy definitions as:  ·      Acquaintance, n.: A person whom we know well enough to borrow from but not well enough to lend to.  ·      Bride, n.: A woman with a great future behind her.  ·      Consult, v.: To seek another's approval of a course already decided on.  And many others.

Degrees of Risk - Navigating...

Blake R. Silver

An ethnographic analysis of how insecurity is at the heart of contemporary higher education.

Institutions of higher education are often described as “ivory towers,” places of privilege where students exist in a “campus bubble,” insulated from the trials of the outside world. These metaphors reveal a widespread belief that college provides young people with stability and keeps insecurity at bay. But for many students, that’s simply not the case.

Degrees of Risk reveals how insecurity permeates every facet of college life for students at public universities. Sociologist Blake Silver dissects how these institutions play a direct role in perpetuating uncertainty, instability, individualism, and anxiety about the future. Silver examined interviews with more than one hundred students who described the risks that surrounded every decision: which major to choose, whether to take online classes, and how to find funding. He expertly identified the ways the college experience played out differently for students from different backgrounds. For students from financially secure families with knowledge of how college works, all the choices and flexibility of college felt like an adventure or a wealth of opportunities. But for many others, especially low-income, first-generation students, their personal and family circumstances meant that that flexibility felt like murkiness and precarity. In addition, he discovered that students managed insecurity in very different ways, intensifying inequality at the intersections of socioeconomic status, race, gender, and other sociodemographic dimensions. Drawing from these firsthand accounts, Degrees of Risk presents a model for a better university, one that fosters success and confidence for a diverse range of students.
