The Dirty Side of the Garment Industry Fast Fashion and Its Negative Impact on Environment and Society

The Dirty Side of the Garment Industry Fast Fashion and Its Negative Impact on Environment and Society

When thinking about lowering or changing consumption to lower carbon footprints the obvious offenders come easily to mind: petroleum and petroleum products paper and plastic even food. But not clothes. Although the clothing industry is the second largest polluter after agriculture most consumers do not think of clothes as a source of environmental damage. The Dirty Side of the Garment Industry: Fast Fashion and its Negative Impact on Environment and Society exposes how clever marketing tactics designed to increase demand skillfully hide this reality. An in-depth examination of the international fashion trade and related goods this book raises visibility of the ethical aspects of promoting overconsumption through explaining the ecological damage resulting from the high rate of discarding old clothes. It focuses on the promotion globalization and integration of the apparel sector into our social and political landscape. It presents an expert overview of the garment industry highlighting the harsh realities of the environmental and labor problems associated with it. It tracks the commercial and cultural factors that have led to the growth of fast fashion retail and its dominance of the entire industry. The book covers current regulatory policies both national and international on production and labor and the author does not shy away from making recommendations for change. He examines marketing business and economic models to explain how assumptions of traditional economic theory on industrial growth and prosperity fall short in addressing the high social costs of promoting the overconsumption of cheap and readily disposable clothes. You will come away with a detailed holistic understanding of the garment industry as well as clarity regarding the larger issue of finding balance when it comes to the ethics of consumption. | The Dirty Side of the Garment Industry Fast Fashion and Its Negative Impact on Environment and Society

Clinical Cases A Step-by-Step Approach

Clinical Cases A Step-by-Step Approach

It is vitally important for medical students and junior doctors to grasp an understanding of ‘real-life medicine’. This innovative book of cases shows how a particular presentation may progress and the different complications that may arise and emerge over time which may be missed by the ‘snapshot in time' approach taken by many problem-based volumes. The content reflects the average length of stay for a patient in hospital in which their situation can change in a multitude of ways and the management of chronic conditions may also need to be adapted as complications arise. Demonstrates the real bedside experiences that medical students can expect in whichever simple or complex way that they may present Cases selected from a range of sub-specialties for comprehensive coverage across the curriculum Illustrates the complicated progressive problems that will be seen while practicing as a doctor with detailed diagrams and diagnostic imagery to aid understanding Shows with timepoints how differential diagnoses may change as more information becomes available and new symptoms arise Describes a typical initial hospital stay and subsequent presentations to the general practitioner and hospital readmission The Authors Andrew Solomon BM BCH MA(Hons) DM FRCP is a Consultant Physician East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust Stevenage UK.

Therapeutic Interventions in Three Sentences Reshaping Ericksonian Hypnotherapy by Talking to the Brain and Body

Therapeutic Interventions in Three Sentences Reshaping Ericksonian Hypnotherapy by Talking to the Brain and Body

Following tenets set out by Milton Erickson Therapeutic Interventions in Three Sentences: Reshaping Ericksonian Hypnotherapy by Talking to the Brain and Body presents an array of short effective commands which have been developed for use in connection with a wide range of mental and psychosomatic disorders. Examining in detail the basic building blocks which must be in place in order for someone to send an effective command to his or her sub-conscious mind the book presents an elegant way of using informal variations of Ericksonian hypnotherapy in awake states and transferring these principles to a variety of therapeutic settings. The methods described follow specific rules derived from hypnotherapy but can be integrated into any other form of counselling or therapy and can be used in short sessions in telephone consultations and with patients in critical states as well as conversations of a therapeutic nature by non-therapeutic professionals. The book explains why and how these interventions work their general structure and how they can be used to tackle specific needs such as trauma depression and anxiety disorders. The book will be of great interest to counsellors doctors and therapists of different orientations who are looking for therapeutic methods that can be used in short sessions or with patients in critical states as well as non-therapeutic professionals who engage in conversations of a therapeutic nature such as social workers pastors nurses carers and teachers (including SEN teachers). | Therapeutic Interventions in Three Sentences Reshaping Ericksonian Hypnotherapy by Talking to the Brain and Body

The Security Hippie

The Security Hippie

The Security Hippie is Barak Engel’s second book. As the originator of the “Virtual CISO” (fractional security chief) concept he has served as security leader in dozens of notable organizations such as Mulesoft Stubhub Amplitude Analytics and many others. The Security Hippie follows his previous book Why CISOs Fail which became a sleeper hit earning a spot in the Cybercannon project as a leading text on the topic of information security management. In this new book Barak looks at security purely through the lens of story-telling sharing many and varied experiences from his long and accomplished career as organizational and thought leader and visionary in the information security field. Instead of instructing this book teaches by example sharing many real situations in the field and actual events from real companies as well as Barak’s related takes and thought processes. An out-of-the-mainstream counterculture thinker – Hippie – in the world of information security Barak’s rich background and unusual approach to the field come forth in this book in vivid color and detail allowing the reader to sit back and enjoy these experiences and perhaps gain insights when faced with similar issues themselves or within their organizations. The author works hard to avoid technical terms as much as possible and instead focus on the human and behavioral side of security finding the humor inherent in every anecdote and using it to demystify the field and connect with the reader. Importantly these are not the stories that made the news; yet they are the ones that happen all the time. If you’ve ever wondered about the field of information security but have been intimidated by it or simply wished for more shared experiences then The Security Hippie is the perfect way to open that window by accompanying Barak on some of his many travels into the land of security.

Risky Agricultural Markets Price Forecasting And The Need For Intervention Policies

Risky Agricultural Markets Price Forecasting And The Need For Intervention Policies

This book shows how decisions made by individual farmers influence the efficiency of agricultural markets. Unless farmers properly take account of the correlation between prices and yields in forming their price forecasts competitive markets will often be socially inefficient leading to misallocation of resources. The authors demonstrate that a simple and practical price forecasting rule based on expected per unit revenue is generally adequate to ensure efficient market behavior. Time-series data from various countries are used to test the hypothesis that market supply is influenced by the correlation of price and yield as well as by lagged market prices . The importance of market inefficiencies in risky situations is shown to depend on the variability of yields the nature of farmers'price forecasting behavior the degree of private risk aversion and the elasticity of demand. The authors suggest and evaluate three basic policy approaches governments may take when confronted with very inefficient markets-establishing production quotas improving market information services and implementing price stabilization schemes. They conclude by discussing implications of the study for the specification of agricultural supply models and for the economic appraisal of risky investment projects. | Risky Agricultural Markets Price Forecasting And The Need For Intervention Policies
