Economic Perspectives on Craft Beer
This book investigates the birth and evolution of craft breweries around the world. Microbrewery, brewpub, artisanal brewery, henceforth craft brewery, are terms referred to a new kind of production in the brewing industry contraposed to the mass production of beer, which has started and diffused in almost all industrialized countries in the last decades. This project provides an explanation of the entrepreneurial dynamics behind these new firms from an economic perspective. The product standardization of large producers, the emergence of a new more sophisticated demand and set of consumers, the effect of contagion, and technology aspects are analyzed as the main determinants behind this ‘revolution’. The worldwide perspective makes the project distinctive, presenting cases from many relevant countries, including the USA, Australia, Japan, China, UK, Belgium, Italy and many other EU countries.
Markets, Politics and the Environment
Markets, Politics and the Environment answers three groups of question: What is planning?’ and as part of this ‘What are its key features as a style of social practice and action?’ and ‘How does planning as a style of social practice relate to social and economic change? How, as part of the justification for planning, might claims of valid technical knowledge be constructed? What is meant by ‘rational’? What is the contribution of pragmatism as a supplement or replacement to rationalism? How might rationality and pragmatism be adapted to postmodernism and the requirements of diversity? Finally, how may concepts of planning be reoriented towards sustainable development as a collec...
Hanging Out
How does socializing and "hanging out" with friends play a key role in our lives? This book explores the world of socialization as it occurs in the United States as well as other cultures. Socialization and enjoying downtime with friends is an activity we regularly participate in but often take for granted. "Hanging out" may be something most people don't ponder, but socializing across our lifetimes is a key part of the human experience, and it plays an important role in our lives at the individual level as well as in social interactions within larger numbers of people: groups of friends, communities, entire countries or cultures, and even global society. A new title in Greenwood's The Psych...
Fascismo, comunismo e Guerra Fredda
L’inclinazione della storiografia corrente di inquadrare gli eventi tralasciando le «forze profonde» e l’approccio interdisciplinare risulta specialistica ma anche circoscritta, con conclusioni riduttive o inesistenti circa il senso dell’indagine, che differentemente la Filosofia, le Scienze sociologiche e soprattutto la Teologia aiutano a sviscerare in pienezza. Persino la Storia delle relazioni internazionali non può prescindere da un approccio più robusto e così l’azione della Chiesa cattolica, pur riconoscendo il fondamentale apporto militare altrui, si rivela ricca di spunti di riflessione specie nel Novecento, allorquando il suo operato è stato davvero immane, opponendosi ideologicamente ed eticamente alle tirannidi fascista, nazista e bolscevica, reazioni estreme alla disgregazione e all’ingiustizia causate dall’assenza di certezze. Un impegno intensissimo simile a quello profuso da Alcide De Gasperi nel secondo dopoguerra, avendo il compito di spingere il Paese lontano dalla voragine della sconfitta, alle spalle, ed evitando nel contempo l’abisso comunista dinanzi.
The Geography of Beer
This book builds on the highly successful Geography of Beer: Regions, Environment, and Society (2014) and investigates the geography of beer from two expanded perspectives: culture and economics. The respective chapters provide case studies that illustrate various aspects of these themes. As the beer industry continues to reinvent itself and its economic and cultural geographies, this book showcases historical, current, and future trends at the local, regional, national, and international scales.
