Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In recent decades, green chemistry dominated the imagination of sustainability scholars all over the world and was embraced by leading global universities and companies. This new concept is supposed to address the environmental crisis by making chemistry safer and less polluting.And yet, under this seemingly straightforward success story hides a tangled and ambiguous reality: alternative frameworks, shoddy greenness criteria, and power struggles.This book retraces the history of the green chemistry concept and critically assesses its claims and dominant narratives about it. It is an indispensable guide for all those interested in the challenges of sustainability, whether they have background in chemistry or not. Its underlying question is: is green chemistry really that green.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Mendicant orders of friars were a powerful religious movement devoted to poverty and preaching; they emerged in the early thirteenth century during the time of rapid urbanisation in western Europe and in the context of Church reforms. In 2018 a group of international scholars gathered at University College Cork to address the topic of marginalities in the current studies on mendicantism, and the volume is an outcome of that symposium. The ten essays in the collection investigate geographical, social and historiographical marginalities with regard to mendicant orders. The contributors represent disciplines of archaeology, art history, history, Irish and gender studies, with their topics geographically spanning across Europe. This thematically focused volume combines a variety of approaches and disciplines to create makes a valuable contribution to the field of mendicant studies.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book studies how the pursuit of becoming an established 'insider' in aninternational community shapes a state's foreign policy. It looks at Poland'sresponse to three international crises that called for joint action of the EU and itsmembers: the Iraq war of 2003, the Russo-Georgian war of 2008, and the Ukrainecrisis beginning in 2013. The book develops the concept of strategic culture as acollection of historically informed narratives that guide a state's pursuit ofontological security, a basic sense of certainty about the state's role and place inthe international environment. Building on this concept the author argues thatPoland's behavior reflects the awareness of its stigma as a 'late arrival' in the EU,and more generally in the'West' as an identity community. The study thusprovides insight into how stigmatization and struggle for recognition shapeinternational dynamics.
