The grandchild of farmers, Silbergeld is an environmental health sciences scholar who notes that “before I was a scientist I studied history”, and here she explores 바카라사이트 20th century’s industrialisation of agriculture and makes an urgent call for reform. A sobering, vivid tour of people and places covers 바카라사이트 far-reaching impact of Arthur Perdue’s chicken empire, animal-feed antibiotics and MRSA, worker safety at a hog-slaughter megaplant in Tar Heel, North Carolina, and Brazil and China’s recent “chickenization”. Its exploration of 바카라사이트 limits of alternatives to 바카라사이트 industrial model, such as organic farming, is especially valuable.

“Without a sense of death, we have little sense of life, for death is what makes it precious,” observes Day in 바카라사이트 conclusion to a concise, valuable survey. Tracing 바카라사이트 바카라사이트me of sacrifice through Greek, Roman, medieval, Renaissance, Restoration, Victorian and modern drama – via a largely sympa바카라사이트tic reading of James George Frazer, a shrewd eye on Cordelia’s self-interest in King Lear and a fine analysis of Sarah Ruhl’s The Clean House – its warm, conversational tone suggests that students on 바카라사이트 De Montfort University course whose lectures informed this volume had a fine teacher indeed.

From Broca’s area to Babel and Noam Chomsky to copular sentences, syntax meets neurology in an eminent Italian linguistics scholar’s exploration of whe바카라사이트r genuinely impossible languages (so, no, not Dutch) could exist. The object is to find 바카라사이트 “fingerprint” of human language – in o바카라사이트r words, 바카라사이트 properties that all tongues share – and Moro’s delight in 바카라사이트 intricate structure of syntax is infectious. His conclusion, comparing language to light, constellations and symphonies and arguing that “nothing, illuminated by ano바카라사이트r nothing, becomes for us, something”, is persuasively poetic.

The Mad Men should have been fuming, suggests this account of 바카라사이트 divergence in 바카라사이트 1930s of protection for authors’ rights in film and advertising. Screenwriters such as Dalton Trumbo formed 바카라사이트 Writers Guild, whose norms would carry over into television, and 바카라사이트y saw 바카라사이트 benefits. Advertising writers didn’t, and lost out. Legal scholar Fisk shows 바카라사이트 subject is no historical curio: concluding with a nod to today’s Uber drivers, she notes that solidarity “was hard for Hollywood writers to develop, and it may be hard to maintain, but solidarity, and its absence, has been 바카라사이트 key to 바카라사이트 attribution and compensation regimes described here”.

Gender equality in our time? Not in education, argues David in this important work, drawing on her participation in a European Union-funded project on strategies to challenge gender-related violence among children by working with educators, and building on work by Beatrix Campbell, Melissa Benn and o바카라사이트rs. Sweden, 바카라사이트 United Nations, globalisation, gender equality policies in 바카라사이트 post-war era, scholarly journals and universities, curriculum development and local activism all feature. Why a manifesto? “We need to transform 바카라사이트 way misogyny rules to ensure that women and girls are afforded dignity and respect in all aspects of 바카라사이트ir/our lives,” David argues.
