Overvægt bliver i stadigt større grad et problem i både Danmark og resten af den vestlige verden. Det er ikke blot et samfundsproblem, men også et problem for den enkelte person, der kæmper med vægten, for det medfører ofte følgesygdomme som sukkersyge og lavt selvværd og selvtillid. Gitte Klausens bog gør op med tanken om, at man bare skal tage sig sammen for at smide de overflødige kilo, og beskriver i stedet årsagerne til overvægt for på den måde at forklare, hvordan man overkommer problemet. Bogen bygger på videnskabelig forskning og er skrevet i et sprog, der er til at forstå for enhver. Den er en god følgesvend for den, der ønsker et varigt vægttab på den sunde måde.

In Unravelling the Social Formation: Free Trade, the State and Business Associations in Turkey, Akif Avci examines the role of business associations and the state in Turkey in analysing the dialectical relationship between global free trade and Turkish social formation since 2002. The manuscript constructs three-levels of analysis based on the social relations of production, forms of state and world order. It explores the class characteristics of the business associations, the role of the Turkish state in the process of integration into global capitalism, and at the same time, internalisation of the global class relations inside Turkey. It offers a fresh neo-Gramscian evaluation of theories of imperialism, and of the uneven and combined development (U&CD) framework for understanding social formation.

The definitive history of the modern climate change era, from an award-winning writer who has been at the centre of the fight for more than thirty yearsIn 1979, President Jimmy Carter was presented with the findings of scientists who had been investigating whether human activities might change the climate in harmful ways. "e;A wait-and-see policy may mean waiting until it is too late,"e; their report said. They were right -- but no one was listening. Four decades later, we are haunted by the consequences of this inattention, and the years of complacency, obfuscation and denialism that followed. Today, the staggering scale and scope of what we have done to the planet is impossible to ignore: the seasons of fire and flood have crossed into plain view. Fire and Flood is a comprehensive, compulsively readable history of climate change from veteran environmental journalist Eugene Linden. Linden retells the story of the modern climate change era decade by decade, tracking the progress of four ticking clocks: first, the reality of climate change itself; second, advances in scientific understanding; third, the spread of public awareness; and fourth, the business and finance response. Like no previous writer, Linden has drawn together the elements of the biggest story in the world, in a book that it is gripping as history, as economic investigation, and as scientific thriller.
