Sinossi

Food Security Issues offers a comprehensive examination of global food accessibility in an era defined by population growth and climate change. It addresses how, despite advancements in agricultural production, food insecurity remains a pressing global challenge. The book uniquely integrates economics, social science, and agriculture to dissect the complexities of food systems.

For example, did you know that inefficiencies in food distribution networks significantly contribute to food waste, even as millions face hunger? Or that socioeconomic factors like poverty and inequality are major drivers of food insecurity?

The book is structured into three main sections, progressing from foundational concepts to in-depth analyses of agricultural productivity, distribution networks, and socioeconomic factors. It adopts a data-driven approach, using quantitative data from organizations like the FAO and the World Bank, alongside qualitative case studies, to provide a practical guide for policymakers and researchers. Spatial analysis techniques are used to map food access disparities and identify hotspots of food insecurity.

This book will appeal to students, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners across multiple fields. It delivers a holistic understanding of sustainable food systems, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration and community-based solutions to combat hunger, malnutrition, and poverty, offering insights into debates about biotechnology, trade liberalization, and effective policy interventions.

Forgiveness is a Choice - A...

PhD Robert D. Enright

Forgiveness Is a Choice is a self-help book for people who have been deeply hurt by another and caught in a vortex of anger, depression, and resentment. As a creator of the first scientifically proven forgiveness program in the country, Robert D. Enright shows how forgiveness can reduce anxiety and depression while increasing self-esteem and hopefulness toward one's future. 
 
 
 
This groundbreaking work demonstrates how forgiveness, approached in the correct manner, benefits the forgiver far more than the forgiven. Filled with wisdom and warm encouragement, the book leads the listener on a path that will bring clarity and peace. 
 
 
 
Enright is careful to distinguish forgiveness from "pseudoforgiveness" and to reassure listeners that forgiveness does not mean accepting continued abuse or even reconciling with the offender. Rather, by giving the gift of forgiveness, listeners are encouraged to confront and let go of their pain in order to regain their lives.

Explorers - A New History

Matthew Lockwood

Unfurling a tapestry of surprising and historically overlooked figures spanning forty centuries and six continents, historian Matthew Lockwood narrates lives filled with imagination and wonder, curiosity, connection, and exchange. Familiar icons of exploration like Pocahontas, Columbus, Sacagawea, and Captain Cook find new company in the untold stories of people usually denied the title "explorers," including immigrants, indigenous interpreters, local guides, and fugitive slaves. He highlights female voyagers like Gudrid Far-Traveler and Freydís Eiríksdóttir, Viking women who sailed to North America in 1000 AD, and Mary Wortley Montagu, whose pioneering travels to Constantinople would lead to the development of the world's first smallpox vaccine. Figures like Ghulam Rassul Galwan, a guide for European travelers in the Himalayas, reveal the hidden labor, expertise, and local enthusiasm behind many grand stories of discovery. Other characters, like David Dorr, a man born into slavery in New Orleans who embarked on a Grand Tour of Europe and Egypt, embody discovery and wonder as universal parts of the human condition. 
 
 
 
Adventurers from every corner of the globe search for the unknown and try to understand it, remaking the world and themselves in the process. Exploration is for everyone who sets off into the unknown. It is the inheritance of all.

Leading While Black - The...

Torrance J. R. Jones

The American workplace exhibits a growing imbalance when it comes to human identity. Leaders are frequently defined in the absence of their critical social identifiers, but the exclusion of these identifiers is a mistake and ignores essential physical, cultural, and spiritual realities. Their exclusion is especially problematic for leaders of the Black identity and the Christian faith. Color-blind ideology harms people of color, while religion-blind systems damage people of faith, and both are especially problematic for individuals who reckon with both realities. 
 
 
 
Rather than abandoning an individual's social identities, the ones we choose and the ones we do not, Leading While Black draws on the lived experiences of executive-level leaders of the Christian faith and Black identity, and offers a testament to the power of a living God in the social fabric of public life. Instead of ignoring the narrative arc of social identities and the weight they carry when considering an individual's conception of leadership, Torrance Jones leans into the value of those identities and asserts their integral importance for Black leaders and for those who work with and for Black voices.
