"Drawing on qualitative fieldwork, this book sheds much-needed light on how sustainability-oriented households balance priorities and get things done in day-to-day life, offering crucial insights about eco-conscious living at an individual level. Based on qualitative interviews with sustainability-oriented parents of young children, this book describes what happens when people make interventions into mundane and easy-to-overlook aspects of everyday life to bring the way they get things done into alignment with their environmental values. Because the ability to make changes is constrained by their culture and capitalist society, there are negative consequences and trade-offs involved in these household-level sustainability practices. The households described in this book shed light on the full extent of the trade-offs involved in promoting sustainability at the household level as a solution to environmental problems."

This book has the participation of prominent academics and managers of public policies on youth from the southern cone of America. It focuses on the Chilean case, but contains contributions on Brazil and Argentina. The text arises from various meetings that took place in 2020, each of the authors presented research and social programs that they developed during the pandemic period, highlighting the advances and possibilities of working with those who lived through the pandemic as young people. The book adds to an extensive list of contributions to the study of youth from the social sciences, in times of the greatest social experiment in recent centuries, whose planetary nature allows us to analyze both the similarities and the differences in three intertwined dimensions: the expansion of the virus and its health effects -the pandemic-, its social effects -the syndemic-, and public policies to address both situations. This entails the study of inequalities -of class, gender, generation and territory- that the coronavirus has revealed, especially generational inequalities, which are the focus of this compilation.

DAS STANDARDWERK - JETZT MIT EINEM KAPITEL ZUM KRIEG IN DER UKRAINE Gerd Koenen hat die weithin vergessene Geschichte der deutschen Orientierungen nach Osten in der Weltkriegsepoche zwischen 1900 und 1945 erforscht und in seinem preisgekrönten Buch erstmals umfassend dargestellt. Im Spannungsfeld aus Überlegenheits- und Minderwertigkeitsgefühlen, aus Faszinationen und Phobien entstanden verhängnisvolle totalitäre Ideologien, aber auch grossartige kulturelle Leistungen. Dieser "Russland-Komplex" war zugleich Ausdruck einer Entfremdung vom Westen, die erst nach 1945 endgültig überwunden wurde. Jetzt hat Koenen das Standardwerk um ein Kapitel über den Krieg in der Ukraine erweitert.Neuauflage mit einem aktuellen NachwortGerd Koenen beleuchtet das ambivalente Verhältnis zwischen den Deutschen und Russland

Klappentext: "If you're woke, you're left. If you're left, you're woke. We blur the terms, assuming that if you're one you must be the other. That, Susan Neiman argues, is a dangerous mistake. The intellectual roots and resources of wokeism conflict with ideas that have guided the left for more than 200 years: a commitment to universalism over tribalism, a firm distinction between justice and power, and a belief in the possibility of progress. The woke may do some good in the short term but without these ideas, Neiman argues, they will continue to undermine their own goals and drift, inexorably and unintentionally, towards the right. In the long run, they risk becoming what they despise. One of the world's leading philosophical voices, Neiman makes this case by tracing the malign influence of two titans of twentieth-century thought, Michel Foucault and Carl Schmitt, who respectively mocked justice and progress and portrayed social life as an eternal struggle of us against them. A generation schooled with these voices in their heads, raised in a broader culture shaped by the ruthless ideas of neoliberalism and evolutionary psychology, has set about changing the world. It's time they thought again."
