From Field to Fork: Food Ethics for Everyone
ISBN: 9780199391684 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. After centuries of neglect, the ethics of food are back with a vengeance. Justice for food workers and small farmers has joined the rising tide of concern over the impact of industrial agriculture on food animals and the broader environment, all while a global epidemic of obesity-related diseases threatens to overwhelm modern health systems. An emerging worldwide social movement has turned to local and organic foods, and struggles to exploit widespread concern over the next wave of genetic engineering or nanotechnologies applied to food. Paul B. Thompson's book applies the rigor of philosophy...

The Ethics of Agricultural Intensification: An Interdisciplinary and International Conversation Paul B. Thompson and John Otieno Ouko* Global agriculture faces a number of challenges as the world approaches the second decade of the third millennium. Predictions unilaterally indicate dramatic increases in world population between 2010 and 2030, and a trend in developing countries toward greater consumption of animal products could multiply the need for prod- tion of basic grains even further.

Evolutionary Biology: Conceptual, Ethical, and Religious Issues
ISBN: 9781107027015 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Evolution - both the fact that it occurred and the theory describing the mechanisms by which it occurred - is an intrinsic and central component in modern biology. Theodosius Dobzhansky captures this well in the much-quoted title of his 1973 paper 'Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution'. The correctness of this assertion is even more obvious today: philosophers of biology and biologists agree that the fact of evolution is undeniable and that the theory of evolution explains that fact. Such a theory has far-reaching implications. In this volume, eleven distinguished...

Agro-Technology: A Philosophical Introduction
ISBN: 9780521133753 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Humans have been modifying plants and animals for millennia. The dawn of molecular genetics, however, has kindled intense public scrutiny and controversy. Crops, and the food products which include them, have dominated molecular modification in agriculture. Organisations have made unsubstantiated claims and scare mongering is common. In this textbook Paul Thompson presents a clear account of the significant issues identifying harms and benefits, analysing and managing risk which lie beneath the cacophony of public controversy. His comprehensive analysis looks especially at genetically...

The Spirit of the Soil: Agriculture and Environmental Ethics
ISBN: 9781138676633 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this second edition of The Spirit of the Soil: Agriculture and Environmental Ethics, Paul B. Thompson reviews four worldviews that shape competing visions for agriculture. Productionists have sought increasing yields--to make two seeds grow where only one grew before--while traditional visions of good farming have stressed stewardship. These traditional visions have been challenged by two more worldviews: a call for a total cost-accounting for farming, and an advocacy for a holistic perspective. Thompson argues that an environmentally defensible systems approach must draw... In this second edition of The Spirit of the Soil: Agriculture and Environmental Ethics, Paul B.

Encyclopedia of Food and Agricultural Ethics
ISBN: 9789400709287 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 1860 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The field of agricultural and food ethics emerged in the 1980 s as scholars began to recognize the need for explicitly normative scholarship on problems and issues associated with the food system. After 25 years of growth, agricultural and food ethics have blossomed in the wake of food safety scandals and renewed interest in alternative ways to organize the agrifood system. There has been a rapid growth in courses taught and in the entry of new researchers into the topics of agricultural and food ethics over the last five years. Scholarship has now reached a point where there is a...
