This open access book examines how food systems reforms can support efforts to achieve SDG 12 by reducing food loss…
and waste in support of sustainable, safe, and nutritious diets in countries at different points of structural transformation. To achieve responsible production and consumption and support safe and nutritious diets, sustainable food system transformations are needed. Strategies to achieve this transformation focus on increasing production and supply of nutrient-rich foods; efficiently moving food along the value chain to make healthy foods accessible; ensuring that quality diets are affordable; and driving demand for healthy diets via informed food choice. By 2030, the United Nations aims to halve food waste and reduce food loss as part of Sustainable Development Goal target 12.3. Preventing food loss and waste, both in terms of food quantity and food quality, aligns with strategies to promote sustainable diets for all. The authors of this volume approach food loss and waste is in three unique important ways. First, while previous literature on the topic has focused on loss at the retail and consumer stages, this volume uses a food systems lens to examine food loss and waste across the entire range of actors and activities, from production to consumption. This enables an examination of feedback loops between food loss and food security as shifts in food systems occur at different stages of structural transformation. Second, while examining food loss and waste globally, the authors focus particularly on low- and middle-income countries. In doing so, they explore entry points for food loss and waste investment and intervention priorities to deliver healthy diets under different food system contexts. This is in contrast with the existing literature, which primarily uses cases from the U.S. and Europe to examine the phenomenon. Third, this book explores both the quantitative and qualitative dimensions of food loss and waste, using the latest evidence of measurement and prevention across disciplines and across all stages of structural transformation. &‘Wasted Potential provides a rigorous and much needed systems perspective on food loss and waste, expertly bridging the gaps between food security, environmental sustainability, and economic development. Boiteau and Pingali offer a clear, actionable roadmap for aligning food system transformation with global development goals. Their comprehensive approach to tackling food loss and waste brings much-needed coherence to a fragmented field and offers practical guidance for future action to policymakers, researchers, and development practitioners.&’ – Jessica Fanzo, Professor of Climate and Director of the Food for Humanity Initiative, Columbia Climate School. The support of the Tata-Cornell Institute made this book possible.

This book presents the most important standards that have derived for smart cities and starts from the international and supranational…
levels and proceeds with the most important national approaches. Standardization is the process that follows innovation and attempts to put quality rules to competitive products of the same domain. Especially for smart cities, standardization has helped the scholars define and conceptualize this complex domain. The purpose of this book is threefold: first, to present the current state of smart city standards at both international and national levels and help practitioners and theorists understand its context and available solutions. Second, to demonstrate how the smart city innovation is clarified via standardization and how competitive solutions compromise under international and national negotiations in standardization bodies. Finally, the book contains some cases that applied specific smart city standards. The contribution of this book is strong, due to the numerous existing standards that have emerged for smart cities and make their understanding and realization a complex process. These standards both clarify the smart city domain but, more importantly, aim to homogenize the emerging intelligent solutions that cover the broad smart city scope, ranging from transportation and buildings to platforms, resilience, and tourism. This book is a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and students who work in smart cities and in standardization.

This open access handbook contributes to decolonising the scholarship that lies at the intersections of the educational and language sciences.…
Contributors from across the planet interrogate issues related to mainstream western/northern hegemonies of knowledge production and institutional hierarchies and practices which continue to dominate the research landscape. Engaging with alternative, marginalised and/or Southern thinking, the scholarship presented here goes beyond calls for multidisciplinarity, and instead offers multiversal, ‘undisciplinary’ ways and waves of doing research ‘otherwise’. The handbook will appeal to scholars and students working in and beyond the broad areas of education and language who are interested in discussions about Southern and decolonial perspectives, positionality and the politics of knowledge production.

address invasive alien plant species in urban systems. The current scenario of rapid urbanization and anthropogenic disturbances across the globe are supplemental to the expansion of invasive alien plant species. Urban ecosystems are strangely under-explored in the constantly developing understanding of alien species invasions. In this book, topics related to alien plant species occurrence in urban ecosystems, their ecosystem services and disservices, their comparative assessment to native species, challenges to the urban ecosystems under changing climatic scenarios, the impact of alien plants on different components of urban environment/ecosystems, aesthetic values, livelihoods and health of urban dwellers, management approaches and policies related to alien plants in urban systems are highlighted. The book will be helpful in understanding the invasion process in urban centres as human-affected landscapes in urban areas are expected to support a larger chunk of alien species, and are instrumental in the dissemination of invasive propagules to nearby natural landscapes. Invasive alien plant species are reported as a serious threat to native biodiversity and human health. It is predicted that climate change associated disturbances or extreme events may play supportive role in colonization and spread of invasive alien plants in urban ecosystems.This book will be suitable for students (undergraduate and postgraduates) of urban planning and architecture, urban agriculture, urban forestry, urban ecology, and environmental sciences; teachers, researchers, climate change scientists in academic and research institutions. It will also be applicable to town planning and environmental management agencies, government agencies and policy makers.

in pain on purpose--from dominatrices, religious ascetics, and ultramarathoners to ballerinas, icy ocean bathers, and sideshow performers Masochism is sexy, human, reviled, worshiped, and delightfully bizarre. Deliberate and consensual pain has been with us for millennia, encompassing everyone from Black Plague flagellants to ballerinas dancing on broken bones to competitive eaters choking down hot peppers while they cry. At its core, masochism is about feeling bad, then better—a phenomenon that is long overdue for a heartfelt and hilarious investigation. And Cowart would know: They are not just a researcher and science writer, they&’re an inveterate, high-sensation seeking masochist. In Hurts So Good, Cowart unveils how our minds and bodies find meaning and relief in pain—a quirk in our programming that drives discipline and innovation even as it threatens to swallow us whole.

This book offers alternative theoretical approaches and pedagogies that challenge the worldview that divides things/people into bounded categories/units perceived to…
be internally homogeneous, what it calls “unit thinking” built on the nation-state ideology. Unit thinking is problematic not only because it is inaccurate but also because it encourages an imposition of the “ideal model” (e.g., the standard language) onto people and a hierarchization based on their proximity to the “ideal” (e.g., devalued “dialects”). This book explores an alternative approach—“post-unit thinking”—by drawing on the notions of “fetish” by Slavoj Žižek and Integrationist Linguistics by Roy Harris and suggests pedagogies in fields that capitalize on “learning from difference.” Theoretically, this discussion of (post) unit thinking is of interest to researchers seeking alternatives to post-structuralist discussions of the politics of difference. This book is also a practical resource for practitioners in study abroad, service learning, and world language education.

The January 6th attack is an unprecedented crime in American history. Sprawling and openly political, it can't be handled by…
the traditional rules and norms of law enforcement--threatening the very idea of justice and its role in society. The attack on the Capitol building following the 2020 election was an extraordinarily large and brazen crime. Conspiracies were formed on social media in full public view, the law-breakers paraded on national television with undisguised faces, and with outgoing President Donald Trump openly cheering them on. The basic concept of law enforcement--investigators find criminals and serve justice--quickly breaks down in the face of such an event. The system has been strained by the sheer volume of criminals and the widespread perception that what they did wasn't wrong. A mass of online tipsters--"sedition hunters"--have mobilized, simultaneously providing the FBI with valuable intelligence and creating an ethical dilemma. Who gets to serve justice? How can law enforcement still function as a pillar of civil society? As the foundations of our government are questioned, the FBI and Department of Justice are the first responders to a crisis of democracy and law that threatens to spread, and fast. In this work of extraordinary reportage, Ryan Reilly gets to know would-be revolutionaries, obsessive online sleuths, and FBI agents, and shines a light on a justice system that's straining to maintain order in our polarized country. From the moment the police barriers were breached on January 6th, 2021, Americans knew something had profoundly changed. Sedition Hunters is the fascinating, high-stakes story of what happens next.

romance. Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate. Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen&’s reservoirs for as long as she can remember. In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn&’t much a girl wouldn&’t do for a glass of water. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares…but it turns out they&’re real, and Saeris has landed right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed. The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist&’s magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him… or her. Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate. His past is murky. His attitude stinks. And he&’s the only way Saeris is going to make it home. Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details... Now with an embossed cover, silver foiling, and an updated interior design. N.B. Quicksilver contains depictions of graphic violence/adult situations and is therefore recommended for readers 17+.

and reorientation by deviant bodies. Anchored in phenomenology and queer theory, it examines how spatial practices subvert architectural function, with particular focus on the tactics of men who have sex with men (MSM) in major North American cities during the AIDS epidemic.The book offers a theoretical and contextual framework for reading architecture as both a mechanism of control and a site of resistance. Through the lenses of abjection and failure, borrowed from psychoanalytic and sociological theory, it outlines a methodology for analyzing spatial tactics like passing, outing, and flagging as examples of how deviant users navigate and respond to the built environment.Its two-part structure—first philosophical, then historical—moves from broad, translatable phenomena to their tangible manifestations in context. The first offers architects and scholars of environmental design a reframing of the production of space, while the second offers theorists of phenomenology and queer studies new spatial dimensions for precedent theory. Deviant Space speaks to those invested in understanding architecture as mutable terrain: unstable, coded, and open to appropriation.

climate change to a habitable future winds through the world&’s forests In recent years, planting a tree has become a catchall to represent &“doing something good for the planet.&” Many companies commit to planting a tree with every purchase. But who plants those trees and where? Will they flourish and offer the benefits that people expect? Can all the individual efforts around the world help remedy the ever-looming climate crisis? In Treekeepers, Lauren E. Oakes takes us on a poetic and practical journey from the Scottish Highlands to the Panamanian jungle to meet the scientists, innovators, and local citizens who each offer part of the answer. Their work isn&’t just about planting lots of trees, but also about understanding what it takes to grow or regrow a forest and to protect what remains. Throughout, Oakes shows the complex roles of forests in the fight against climate change, and of the people who are giving trees a chance with hope for our mutual survival. Timely, meticulously reported, and ultimately optimistic, Treekeepers teaches us how to live with a sense of urgency in our warming world, to find beauty in the present for ourselves and our children, and to take action big or small.
