How Big Food Risks Our Health
by Wilfried Bommert, Christina Sartori
Addiction from the supermarket The most powerful drug cartel of the 21st century sells pizzas, chocolate bars and mixed sweets. The promise: a quick and happy snack at low cost. The truth: this “food” isn’t nutritious, but is addictive and fattening, while bringing bumper profits for the investors. “Big Food” is becoming more powerful, but the costs due to the consequences of obesity now risk overwhelming global healthcare services. Obesity ranks as a killer before smoking or high blood pressure. A direct analysis of a man-made epidemic that is dominated by a few large companies and kept going by multiple profiteers. Their motto: “Teach the world to snack.”

The COVID-19 crisis and the future of the NHS
by Hugh Pym
Reporting from the front lines of the pandemic, celebrated BBC journalist Hugh Pym takes readers on a gripping journey to the heart of the UK's COVID-19 crisis. He unearths shocking revelations about the failings of the British state and the Whitehall machine, shedding light on the consequences of woeful unpreparedness and misguided policies. This hard-hitting exposé draws on untold stories from the corridors of power, providing an insider's perspective on the drama, personalities and critical decision-making processes. Going beyond individual accounts, it presents a comprehensive assessment of the UK's preparedness, lockdown measures and response strategies. A tale of resilience and devastating consequences, Unfit challenges the very foundations of the UK's response to the pandemic, leaving no stone unturned in its quest for truth. Finally, it looks ahead to ask what is in store for the future of the NHS.

Reconstruction and soldier settlement in the empire between the wars
by Kent Fedorowich
Research on soldier settlement has to be set within the wider history of emigration and immigration. This book examines two parallel but complementary themes: the settlement of British soldiers in the overseas or 'white' dominions, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa, between 1915 and 1930. One must place soldier settlement within the larger context of imperial migration prior to 1914 in order to elicit the changes in attitude and policy which occurred after the armistice. The book discusses the changes to Anglo-dominion relations that were consequent upon the incorporation of British ex-service personnel into several overseas soldier settlement programmes, and unravels the responses of the dominion governments to such programmes. For instance, Canadians and Australians complained about the number of ex-imperials who arrived physically unfit and unable to undertake employment of any kind. The First World War made the British government to commit itself to a free passage scheme for its ex-service personnel between 1914 and 1922. The efforts of men such as L. S. Amery who attempted to establish a landed imperial yeomanry overseas is described. Anglicisation was revived in South Africa after the second Anglo-Boer War, and politicisation of the country's soldier settlement was an integral part of the larger debate on British immigration to South Africa. The Australian experience of resettling ex-servicemen on the land after World War I came at a great social and financial cost, and New Zealand's disappointing results demonstrated the nation's vulnerability to outside economic factors.

September 1979Materialien zur Philosophie Søren Kierkegaards
Herausgegeben und eingeleitet von Michael Theunissen und Wilfried Greve
by Wilfried Greve, Michael Theunissen, Wilfried Greve
Die im Band gesammelten Materialien sollen einen Einblick in die Grundzüge und Grundprobleme der Kierkegaardschen Philosophie geben. Der erste, historische Teil enthält – bislang auf deutsch unzugängliche – Auszüge aus zeitgenössischen Schriften, die indes nicht nur einen Eindruck von der Rezeption Kierkegaards durch die Mitwelt vermitteln, sondern auch zu seinem Verständnis beitragen sollen. Dasselbe gilt für Kierkegaards Repliken auf diese zeitgenössischen Stimmen. In kurzen Vorbemerkungen und einem eigenen Anmerkungsapparat sind den historischen Materialien Informationen beigefügt, die ihre Verarbeitung erleichtern sollen. Der zweite, systematische Teil bietet einen Querschnitt durch die philosophische Kierkegaard-Forschung der letzten 25 Jahre (außer in Deutschland insbesondere in Dänemark, Frankreich und den USA); er enthält Beiträge, die in der Regel nur schwer zugänglich sind und bei deren Auswahl es Prinzip war, den ganzen Umfang der philosophisch wichtigen Problemkreise im Kierkegaardschen Werk abzudecken.
