Nurturing Our Humanity: How Domination And Partnership Shape Our Brains, Lives, And Future
by Riane Eisler Douglas P. FryNurturing Our Humanity offers a new perspective on our personal and social options in today's world, showing how we can build societies that support our great human capacities for consciousness, caring, and creativity. It brings together findings--largely overlooked--from the natural and social sciences debunking the popular idea that we are hard-wired for selfishness, war, rape, and greed. Its groundbreaking new approach reveals connections between disturbing trends like climate change denial and regressions to strongman rule. <p><p> Moving past right vs. left, religious vs. secular, Eastern vs. Western, and other familiar categories that do not include our formative parent-child and gender relations, it looks at where societies fall on the partnership-domination scale. On one end is the domination system that ranks man over man, man over woman, race over race, and man over nature. On the other end is the more peaceful, egalitarian, gender-balanced, and sustainable partnership system. <p> Nurturing Our Humanity explores how behaviors, values, and socio-economic institutions develop differently in these two environments, documents how this impacts nothing less than how our brains develop, examines cultures from this new perspective (including societies that for millennia oriented toward partnership), and proposes actions supporting the contemporary movement in this more life-sustaining and enhancing direction. It shows how through today's ever more fearful, frenzied, and greed-driven technologies of destruction and exploitation, the domination system may lead us to an evolutionary dead end. A more equitable and sustainable way of life is biologically possible and culturally attainable: we can change our course.
Nurturing Sustainable Prosperity in West Africa: Examples from Ghana
by Stephen Armah“Through the lens of personal experience, Dr. Armah walks us through the scholarly research on culture, corruption and economics as it applies to the Ghanaian experience. We are left with a partially disappointing picture of a country wealthy in people and resources, but poor in growth but cannot help but imagine that Ghana has turned a corner and that history may well turn out to be kind to the country Dr. Armah clearly loves.” –Kenneth Leonard, Associate Professor, University of Maryland at College Park“Management consultants and corporate leadership experts have often verified Peter Drucker’s observation that ‘culture eats strategy for breakfast.’ This book represents a heartfelt effort to recognize and grapple with the power of culture over economic strategy and development policy. Stephen Armah’s reflections on Ghanaian experiences reveal how a deeper appreciation of culture and mindset can help us understand the persistence of corruption and elements of a path forward.” –Alex Winter-Nelson, Director of ACES Office of International Programs, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign“This book is an interesting introduction to the ways in which culture influences economic growth and productivity in Ghana. Using a combination of revealing anecdotes and citations from the literature Dr. Armah explores the ways that culture can positively, and negatively, impact the institutions that are necessary to allow a country to thrive. Aspects of culture that are a hindrance cannot be changed immediately, but can, over time, adapt to improve the country.”–Erik Cheever, Professor, Department of Engineering, Swarthmore College"An easy and thought provoking read! It contains a bold message that I expect will facilitate an important conversation not only in Ghana but across Africa.” –Saweda Liverpool-Tasie, Associate Professor of Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics, Michigan State University“Armah’s thesis is that corruption, economic inefficiency, and weak formal institutions are culturally rooted in Ghana, and that the real work of development involves changing the worldviews that give life events their meaning and determine how people respond to formal policies and institutions. This is a controversial argument that will provoke lively debate. Armah's book puts the literature on economic development and culture into dialogue with stories of life in post-independence Ghana.” –Stephen A. O'Connell, Gil and Frank Mustin Professor of Economics, Swarthmore College Using Ghana as a case study, this book argues that local culture and tradition play a role in shaping economic institutions that operate in a country. This book focuses on how certain cultural practices lead to an environment more susceptible to cronyism and corruption. The book then discusses the relationship between culture and rampant corruption, and how these in sum have harmed Ghana’s economic development.“I have no doubt that culture, in terms of attitudes, values, norms and behavior, is the single most important explanatory factor in Ghana's underdevelopment. It explains the widespread corruption, poor work ethic and indiscipline. These are the issues Stephen Armah courageously takes on in this book as needing to be addressed in Ghana's development.” -Stephen Adei, Professor Emeritus, Ashesi University“Stephen Armah’s Nurturing Sustainable Prosperity in West Africa explores and interprets the economics, transnational organizations, socio-cultural politics as contexts and processes for understanding corruption in Ghana, in particular and Africa as a whole. Focusing on the continuous transactions among Ghanaians with reference to their social and personal obligations against the backdrop of the pervasive corruption exemplified in his case studies, Armah clearly explains the process of constructing socio-political mores and policies to reme

Nutrition Science Initiative: Are All Calories Created Equal?
by Kevin A Schulman Matan DaboraOn 2012, Gary Taubes lunched the Nutrition Science initiative (NuSI), a not for profit organization aiming to question the mainstream scientific paradigm regarding obesity and dietary recommendations. This case provides a brief scientific background on obesity and its causes, comorbidities and the economic cost of this epidemic. It then discusses the two main hypotheses of diet, and the formation of NuSI. Finally, it describes the unique challenges and hurdles NuSI has faced both with funding and with impacting the mainstream scientific community. Could this NGO model of funding the "right" clinical trials be successful? Could it be duplicated across other scientific areas? What can be learned from NuSI's experience? And what is the roadmap for NuSI going forward?

Nutrition for Foodservice and Culinary Professionals (7th Edition)

Nutrition, Food Markets and Agriculture: Economic Issues Against the Background of Globalization
by Christian J. JäggiToday, nutrition is mainly discussed under nutritional, medical-health or ideological aspects (e.g. vegetarianism, veganism, etc.). Although the food industry represents one of the most important markets, questions of food production, agriculture, food trade and biodiversity are mostly discussed under national auspices. Not only on the producer side, but also from the consumer perspective, food markets - although still nationally structured - have become more and more global markets, which can be seen, for example, in the development of food commodity prices. In addition, large food corporations are pursuing the strategy of standardizing the entire value chains in the agricultural and food sectors - under their control, mind you. The book addresses economic issues related to food production, agriculture, food trade and biodiversity. Alternatives to traditional agriculture, factory farming, and biodiversity loss are discussed - and reflected upon from an economic perspective. Particular attention is paid to aspects of globalization.This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Ernährung, Nahrungsmittelmärkte und Landwirtschaft by Christian J. Jäggi, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2018. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
Nutrition, Food and Diet in Ageing and Longevity (Healthy Ageing and Longevity #14)
by Suresh I. S. Rattan Gurcharan KaurThis edited volume is a compilation of 30 articles discussing what constitutes food for health and longevity. The aim is to provide up-to-date information, insights, and future tendencies in the ongoing scientific research about nutritional components, food habits and dietary patterns in different cultures. The health-sustaining and health-promoting effects of food are certainly founded in its overall composition of macronutrients and micronutrients. However, the consumption of these nutrients is normally in the form of raw or prepared food from the animal and plant sources. The book is divided into four parts and a conclusion, and successfully convenes the well-established information and knowledge, along with the personal views of a diversified group of researchers and academicians on the multifaceted aspects of nutrition, food and diet. The first part reviews the scientific information about proteins, carbohydrates, fats and oils, micronutrients, pro- and pre-biotics, and hormetins, along with a discussion of the evolutionary principles and constraints about what is optimal food, if any. The second part discusses various kinds of foods and food supplements with respect to their claimed benefits for general health and prevention of some diseases. The third part brings in the cultural aspects, such as what are the principles of healthy eating according to the traditional Chinese and Indian systems, what is the importance of mealing times and daily rhythms, and how different cultures have developed different folk wisdoms for eating for health, longevity and immortality. In the part four, various approaches which are either already in practice or are still in the testing and research phases are discussed and evaluated critically, for example intermittent fasting and calorie restriction, food-based short peptides, senolytics, Ayurvedic compounds, optimal food for old people, and food for the prevention of obesity and other metabolic disorders. The overreaching aim of this book is to inform, inspire and encourage students, researchers, educators and medical health professionals thinking about food and food habits in a holistic context of our habits, cultures and patterns. Food cannot be reduced to a pill of nutritional components. Eating food is a complex human behavior culturally evolved over thousands of years. Perhaps the old adage “we are what we eat” needs to be modified to “we eat what we are”.
Nutrition, Sustainable Agriculture and Climate Change in Africa: Issues and Innovative Strategies
by Gbadebo OdularuIn Sub-Saharan Africa, the rapidly evolving COVID-19, increasing population growth, and exponential expansion in demand for agricultural commodities are putting pressure on available resources, thereby posing immense challenges to the region’s capacity to achieve nutritional security related to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Although Sub-Saharan Africa boasts vast, fertile and uncultivated arable lands, its capacity to contribute to feeding its current and future population is being seriously undermined by factors such as poor adoption and utilization of innovations and digital tools, climate change impact, environmental degradation, weak political will, limited interest in farming, lack of government support, and more. In spite of these constraints, sustainable agriculture, food security and nutrition security in Sub-Saharan Africa can be achieved by adopting a multi-pronged approach, which includes improved agricultural mechanization, adoption of high yielding crop varieties, use of information technology, public investments in improved technologies, and rural infrastructure funding. This edited volume provides innovative policy tools for enhancing Sub-Saharan Africa's capacity to achieve sustainable agriculture, food security and nutrition security in the digital age and in the face of climate variability. Furthermore, this book presents smart strategies for increased agricultural production, reduced food waste, and enhanced nutritional outcomes by harnessing the latest discoveries in agricultural research, education and advisory services.

Nutzwertanalysen in Marketing und Vertrieb (essentials)
by Jörg B. KühnapfelNutzwertanalysen sind eine praktikable Methode, um komplexe Entscheidungen zu treffen. Komplex ist eine Entscheidung immer dann, wenn das Spektrum von Aspekten, die zu berücksichtigen sind, zu breit ist, wenn diese Aspekte nicht eindeutig priorisiert werden können oder wenn mehrere Personen an der Entscheidungsfindung teilhaben sollen. Insbesondere in Marketing und Vertrieb hat sich die Nutzwertanalyse als Instrument der Entscheidungsfindung bewährt. Mittels einer unbestechlichen, durchdeklinierten Methode werden subjektive Einflüsse, Wahrnehmungsverzerrungen und Hierarchieblockaden weitgehend eliminiert. So gelingt es, auch schwierige Entscheidungen so objektiv wie möglich, nachvollziehbar und ausgewogen zu treffen.

Nykaa.com: A Passion for Beauty
by Paul A. Gompers Anjali Raina Rachna ChawlaThe experience of being an entrepreneur was a childhood dream for Falguni Nayar. The opportunity to build Nykaa.com, a woman centered business, with a multi brand retail format in the beauty and wellness space , and the fact that she was doing it with her daughter Adwaita ( HBS MBA 2013) made it both exciting and meaningful. Still, she was the founder and with that came control over the most important decisions. While she sought advice from many people, Nykaa, like Adwaita, was her baby. How should she structure the organization and the team to best deliver the results she wanted?
Nylon and Bombs: DuPont and the March of Modern America (Studies in Industry and Society)
by Pap A. NdiayeHow the chemical engineering behemoth that brought us Teflon, Kevlar, Lycra, Freon, and more shaped the culture of postwar America. What do nylon stockings and atomic bombs have in common? DuPont. The chemical firm of DuPont de Nemours pioneered the development of both nylon and plutonium, among countless other innovations, playing an important role in the rise of mass consumption and the emergence of the notorious &“military-industrial complex.&” In this fascinating account of the lives and careers of Du Pont&’s chemical engineers, Pap A. Ndiaye deftly illustrates the contribution of industry to the genesis of a dominant post–World War II &“American model&” connecting prosperity with security. The consumer and military dimensions of twentieth-century American history are often studied separately. Ndiaye reunites them by examining Du Pont&’s development of nylon, which symbolized a new way of life, and plutonium, which was synonymous with annihilation. Reflecting on the experiences and contributions of the company&’s engineers and physicists, Ndiaye traces Du Pont&’s transformation into one of the corporate models of American success.</

O Great One!: A Little Story About the Awesome Power of Recognition
by David Novak Christa BourgJeff took a deep breath to calm down. He was about to stand in front of the employees of the Happy Face Toy Company's faltering Cleveland factory. As the new CEO, he'd been advised to close this factory as soon as possible, but he wanted to see it first. "How hard could this be?" he wondered, gathering the courage to ask them about their jobs. He had no idea what he was in for. When was the last time you told your colleagues how much you value them? It sounds like a trivial thing in the middle of a busy work day. But as David Novak discovered during his years as a hard charging executive, there's nothing trivial about recognition. It can make a life-or-death difference to any organization, when people see that someone important really notices and appreciates their contributions. Rather than explain the power of recognition in a typical business book, Novak decided to write a fun story that draws on his real-world experiences at Pepsi and Yum! Brands, as well as his personal life. The story opens when Jeff Johnson becomes the third-generation CEO of his family business, after the sudden death of his father. The Happy Face Toy Company had many hits in the 1950s and 60s, including Crazy Paste, but its results have been declining for more than a decade. The board has given Jeff just one year to turn the business around, or else they'll have to sell it to the highest bidder. As Jeff races to save his family's legacy by getting the company back on track, he meets downtrodden factory workers and an uninspired executive team. Then a birthday gift from his own grandson gives Jeff an important insight into why Happy Face lost its old culture of innovation and excitement, along with its profitability. Jeff comes up with an idea that seems crazy... But is it crazy enough to work? Whether you're trying to lead a small department, a Fortune 500 company, a non-profit, or your own family, the lessons at the heart of O Great One! can help you make everyone around you happier and more effective.From the Hardcover edition.

O homem mais rico do mundo: As muitas vidas de Calouste Gulbenkian
by Jonathan ConlinA biografia definitiva de Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkianm uma das figuras mais enigmáticas da História do século XX, por ocasião dos 150 anos do seu nascimento. Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian morreu em Lisboa em 1955, aos 86 anos. Era, então, o homem mais rico do mundo.Conhecido como «o senhor cinco porcento» pela sua participação na primeira companhia petrolífera a extrair petróleo no Irão, a sua vida privada é tão elusiva e bizantina quanto a sua forma de negociar. As mulheres de que se fazia acompanhar, os negócios com Estaline, a forma como usava a sua mulher, a encantadora Nevarte, para aprofundar relacionamentos e alianças, a sua paixão por arte. Em Portugal e no mundo, o seu nome estará sempre associado ao mecenato e à maior e mais importante colecção privada de arte do país, exposta na Fundação Gulbenkian. Mas a fortuna que acumulou ao longo da sua vida tinha origem nos negócios do petróleo e acordos de alto nível que mediou entre governos e barões da indústria. Jonathan Conlin enfrenta, neste livro, o caráter quase mítico de Calouste Gulbenkian, escrutinando a vida e os negócios de um dos homens mais influentes do seu tempo. Escrita com total acesso aos arquivos da Fundação Gulbenkian, esta é a biografia de um homem complexo no aniversário dos 150 anos do seu nascimento. Os elogios da crítica: «Calouste Gulbenkian acumulou tantos milhões que podia ter-se tornado, sozinho, uma potência internacional. Jonanthan Conlin, o astuto e obstinado biógrafo deste supermecenas arménio, nunca se deixa iludir pelos subterfúgios e artifícios do negócio do petróleo.»Richard Davenport-Hines
