Logistical Chokepoints, Precarious Work, and Social Reproduction
Die Beschäftigten an logistischen Engpässen wie Häfen und Flughäfen, die sich an Dreh- und Angelpunkten der globalisierten Wirtschaft befinden, sollten über eine große Verhandlungsmacht verfügen. Dieses Buch untersucht die räumlich-historische Geschichte der Logistik in Portugal und Brasilien und fragt, warum die Arbeitsbedingungen in Häfen und Flughäfen immer noch überwiegend prekär sind. Anhand eigener Feldforschung und qualitativer Studien analysiert Anne Engelhardt die Arbeit und das Leben der Arbeiter entlang materialistischer Theorieansätze zur sozialen Reproduktion, zum metabolischen Riss, zum Staat und zum Körper.
DECARBONOMICS
A book of two halves, Decarbonomics first sets the scene of current global economics, outlining the effect of the pandemic, the trade war between the US and China and the resulting fragmentation of globalisation. In the second half of the book, leading financial analyst Charles Dumas examines the economic reasons for action on climate change, and what form that might take. Dumas argues that investment to combat the changing climate will provide not only a boost to growth but also a rebalancing of geopolitics, benefiting those economies best placed to exploit the new technologies - possibly away from the oil-rich Middle East and towards the sun-rich Southern Hemisphere. He also examines the implications of a carbon tax, shifting economics to forge a financial solution to climate change. Drawing on original analysis by one of the world's leading macroeconomic forecasters, Decarbonomics shows how climate-change economics has shifted from a story of necessary sacrifice to one of opportunity.
The Cell Biology of Stem Cells
Stem cells have been gaining a lot of attention in recent years. Their unique potential to self-renew and differentiate has turned them into an attractive model for the study of basic biological questions such as cell division, replication, transcription, cell fate decisions, and more. With embryonic stem (ES) cells that can generate each cell type in the mammalian body and adult stem cells that are able to give rise to the cells within a given lineage, basic questions at different developmental stages can be addressed. Importantly, both adult and embryonic stem cells provide an excellent tool for cell therapy, making stem cell research ever more pertinent to regenerative medicine. As the ti...
