"Utilizing Dr. Martin Luther King's Beloved Community framework, activists will be empowered to create change and equity through fierce yet compassionate dialogue against racism and systematic white supremacy. Although committed to antiracism, many people struggle with confronting racist behavior. Difficult conversations are avoided or end in negativity, aggression, and even violence. How to Have Antiracist Conversations gives the tools to approach hard conversations with compassion and authenticity by embracing the 6 principles of Kingian Nonviolence: 1. Nonviolence is the way of life for courageous people; 2. The Beloved Community framework is the future; 3. Attack forces of evil, not persons doing evil; 4. Accept suffering without retaliation for the sake of the cause; 5. Avoid internal violence of spirit as well as external physical violence; 6. The universe is on the side of justice. Combined with an understanding of racist theory, readers can approach sensitive topics and address discriminatory behavior while minimizing harm.

In der vorliegenden Studie wurde eine Recherche zur aktuellen toxikologischen bzw. epidemiologischen Datenlage von 20 in der Trinkwasserverordnung regulierten perfluorierten Alkylsubstanzen (⁠PFAS⁠, C4-C13 Carbon- und Sulfonsäuren) sowie 4 Ersatzstoffen (GenX, ADONA, 6:2 FTSA, C604) durchgeführt. Ziel war eine Aufbereitung dieser Daten als Grundlage für die toxikologische Bewertung der Substanzen mit Bezug auf ihr Vorkommen im Trinkwasser. Die erhobenen Daten sollen die Grundlagen für die Berechnung von gesundheitlich begründeten Leitwerten oder die Ableitung von Gesundheitlichen Orientierungswerten (GOW) für das Trinkwasser bilden. Die eigentliche Berechnung der Leitwerte und die Ableitung von GOW ist jedoch nicht Bestandteil dieser Studie.

An authoritative "biography" of one of history's great financial crises with enduring lessons about contemporary finance In this newly-revised second edition, offering 50% entirely new material, The Panic of 1907: Heralding a New Era of Finance, Capitalism, and Democracy, delivers a groundbreaking examination of one of the most consequential crises in financial history. Deftly weaving historical evidence, insightful analysis, and compelling narrative, The Panic of 1907 explains how and why a financial panic unfolds, with lessons that can be applied to our understanding of present-day financial and monetary systems. In the book, you'll find: the reasons why, despite today's stronger monetary regime and risk-mitigation tools, our modern institutions are not immune to future crises; explanations about the development of the United States' Federal Reserve System, which was created in 1913 in direct response to the Panic of 1907; and an engaging and entertaining account of an innately fascinating period in financial and economic history, with remarkable leaders and a gallery of rogues. An indispensable tale that belongs on the shelves of anyone with an interest in American or financial history, The Panic of 1907 is an expert retelling of one of the most important, but least well-known crises of the last 200 years

There is a call in Heritage Studies to democratize heritage practices and place local communities at the forefront; heritage plays an important role in identity formation, and therefore in social inclusion and exclusion. Public participation is often presented as the primary means to prioritize communities. Studies focusing on public participation are typically descriptive in nature, however these studies lack a strong analytical framework that enables us to understand participation. This series of studies contributes to a better understanding of public participation in the heritage sector by applying Public Administration theory on collaborative governance
