Da die gesundheitliche Aufklärung im Interesse staatlicher Gesundheitspolitik liegt, wird sie in Deutschland als eine übergreifende Daueraufgabe von allen staatlichen Ebenen unter Einbindung der Betroffenen durchgeführt. Die Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung (BZgA) nimmt hierbei auf Bundesebene als Fachbehörde im Geschäftsbereich des Bundesministeriums für Gesundheit diese Aufgabe wahr. Die deutsche Ausgabe des Werkes wird von der BZgA herausgeben. In diesem Rahmen wurden die Inhalte nicht nur übersetzt sondern auch von Experten geprüft und an sinnvoller Stelle für eine deutsche Zielgruppe adaptiert oder sinnvoll ergänzt. In dem erfolgreichen Lehrbuch zur Gesundheitsförderung werden die Grundlagen und Konzepte zur Gesundheit, Gesundheitserziehung und Gesundheitsförderung sowie die ethischen und politischen Aspekte für die Praxis in leicht verständlicher Form erläutert. - Welche Strategien zur Gesundheitsförderung gibt es und wie können konkrete Maßnahmen und Interventionen z.B. in Krankenhäusern, Kommunen oder Schulen umgesetzt werden. - Ausführliche Fallbeispiele helfen dem Leser, die ganze Bandbreite der Gesundheitsförderung kennenzulernen und die Evidenz für unterschiedliche Gesundheitsförderungen zu identifizieren. - Zahlreiche Lernübungen (Lösungsansätze an Kapitelende) helfen, Fragenstellungen besser zu verstehen und das eigene Wissen zu überprüfen.

Threads of Labour presents new empirical research by a network of garment workers' support organizations and makes sense of global supply chains from the bottom up. Presents new empirical research by a network of garment workers' support organizations in ten different locations in Asia, Europe and Mexico. Creates a blueprint for conducting worker-orientated action research in order to better understand and resist the negative impact of globalization on labour. Ensures that workers' voices reach those who are already trying to reconfigure global capitalism in more humane directions. Explores the ways in which workers might begin to develop new forms of organization that are more suited to securing gains in the global garment industry. Bridges the gap between activist and academic research, improving the conversation between these two groups.

Dissident Geographies is an accessible and lively exploration of radical perspectives in human geography. The perspectives examined in the book reveal and resist certain power relations that have constituted geographical knowledge. The book has two main aims. First, rather than reify 'the' geographical tradition, Dissident Geographies introduces a number of geographical traditions that challenge and destabilize what counts as geographical knowledge. Second, the book shows how the production of geographical knowledge is tied to politics and struggles outside as well as within the academy. In each chapter, case studies illustrate the spatiality of political practice and the politics of geographical thought. In this way Dissident Geographies reveals the connections between power, politics and geographical knowledge.

Since the beginning of the 1980s, British trade unions have experienced a dramatic retreat, marked by rapidly falling membership and declining industrial power. The authors examine the regional dimensions of this retreat of organised labour, paying particular attention to: The resilience of the unions' historical heartland areas. The impact of economic restructuring on local union traditions. The shrinking landscape of industrial militancy. The geographical decentralization of the new industrial relations. The link between these factors and the more general debate on regional development and regional labour markets. An important synthesis of economic geography and industrial relations work, this book marks a major contribution towards the newly emerging field of labour geography

Union Retreat and the Regions

This book makes the case for a pragmatist approach to the practice of social inquiry and knowledge production. Through diverse examples from multiple disciplines, contributors explore the power of pragmatism to inform a practice of inquiry that is democratic, community-centred, problem-oriented and experimental. Drawing from both classical and neo-pragmatist perspectives, the book advances a pragmatist sensibility in which truth and knowledge are contingent rather than universal, made rather than found, provisional rather than dogmatic, subject to continuous experimentation rather than ultimate proof, and verified in their application in action rather than in the accuracy of their representation of an antecedent reality. The Power of Pragmatism offers a path forward for mobilizing the practice of inquiry and knowledge production on behalf of achieving what Dewey called a sense for the better kind of life to be led.
