Abstract

Stadmuis komt logeren bij Veldmuis en maakt kennis met het leven op het land. Ze vindt het er mooi, al zijn er ook dingen die haar minder goed bevallen. Als veldmuis een tegenbezoek aan de stad brengt, overkomt haar hetzelfde. Het blijkt dat ze allebei het meest houden van hun eigen plekje. En als ze eens wat anders willen - nou, dan gaan ze toch bij elkaar op visite?

Abstract

In dit boek beschrijft de auteur de dorpsgemeenschap die hij als kind heeft gekend. Hij evoceert de jaren voor en na de Tweede Wereldoorlog in een middelgrote gemeente van arbeiders en boeren, gelegen aan een rivier die de levensader van de streek is. Niet als een verslaggever of waarnemer, maar als een echt lid van die gemeenschap vertelt hij over het dagelijkse leven, over de woon- en werkvoorwaarden, de invloed van de opkomende industrie op de landlieden, de armoe en de kermis, de kerk die nog in het midden van het dorp staat, de verhoudingen tussen klein en groot, de last en de schoonheid van de natuur.

Abstract

This book provides an overview of the effects of home ownership, a housing sector that has grown rapidly in recent years in many countries, not least because this is normally encouraged by governments. The first part of the subtitle, 'Getting in', refers to processes in the development of the homeownership stock including problems of access, which in turn implies issues of affordability, the viability of financial institutions and subsidies. 'Getting from' indicates that this form of housing tenure may provide households with advantages such as wealth accumulation and independence that may not

Abstract

Refugees are forced to gamble with their lives to flee conflicts, and if they arrive at their intended destination unscathed, they may face the turbulent prospect of asylum defined by a meagre existence, social exclusion, poverty, and even homelessness.Operating at different scales and imagined places, homelessness and asylum seeking are issues of fundamental social justice typically viewed as a problem of cities and crises of national and international concern respectively. However, over the past two decades in particular, the increasing and volatile numbers of asylum seekers arriving in the

Abstract

Energy in Nature and Society is a systematic and exhaustive analysis of all the major energy sources, storages, flows, and conversions that have shaped the evolution of the biosphere and civilization. Vaclav Smil uses fundamental unifying metrics (most notably for power density and energy intensity) to provide an integrated framework for analyzing all segments of energetics (the study of energy flows and their transformations). The book explores not only planetary energetics (such as solar radiation and geomorphic processes) and bioenergetics (photosynthesis, for example) but also human energetics (such as metabolism and thermoregulation), tracing them from hunter-gatherer and agricultural societies through modern-day industrial civilization. Included are chapters on heterotrophic conversions, traditional agriculture, preindustrial complexification, fossil fuels, fossil-fueled civilization, the energetics of food, and the implications of energetics for the environment. The book concludes with an examination of general patterns, trends, and socioeconomic considerations of energy use today, looking at correlations between energy and value, energy and the economy, energy and quality of life, and energy futures. Throughout the book, Smil chooses to emphasize the complexities and peculiarities of the real world, and the counterintuitive outcomes of many of its processes, over abstract models. Energy in Nature and Society provides a unique, comprehensive, single-volume analysis and reference source on all important energy matters, from natural to industrial energy flows, from fuels to food, from the Earth's formation to possible energy futures, and can serve as a text for courses in energy studies, global ecology, earth systems science, biology, and chemistry. Vaclav Smil is Distinguished Professor at the University of Manitoba and the author of many books, including Energy at the Crossroads (2003), The Earth's Biosphere: Evolution, Dynamics, and Change (2002), and Energies: An Illustrated Guide to the Biosphere and Civilization (1998), all of which are published by The MIT Press.

Abstract

Drawing from the Conference on Housing Growth and Regeneration, this book talks about the gains and losses accruing to individual households by virtue of their position as home owners. It also focuses on the losses, in the form of repayment risk, related to, difficulties that households may experience in meeting housing loan repayment schedules.

Abstract

Although a strong indicator of social status, home ownership has rarely emerged as a topic in social inequality research. This book compares twelve countries—the United States, Germany, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Israel—to determine the interdependence of social inequality and homeownership attainment over the life course. Examining countries that are similar with respect to socioeconomic development, but different in regard to their housing policies, the authors show that housing policies matter and are largely consistent with a country’s general approach in the provision of welfare. This book presents a valuable contribution to the social stratification literature, which traditionally has neglected the dimension of home ownership. It goes beyond most housing studies by adopting a life-course framework and longitudinal approach. The empirical findings provide evidence that in all countries under study—even those of the social democratic welfare regime type—labor market position matters in one’s chances to become a homeowner.
