Global goods were central to the material culture of eighteenth-century country houses. Across Europe, mahogany furniture, Chinese wallpapers and Indian textiles formed the backdrop to genteel practices of drinking sweetened coffee, tea and chocolate from Chinese porcelain. They tied these houses and their wealthy owners into global systems of supply and the processes of colonialism and empire. Global Goods and the Country House builds on these narratives, and then challenges them by decentring our perspective. It offers a comparative framework that explores the definition, ownership and meaning of global goods outside the usual context of European imperial powers. What were global goods and what did they mean for wealthy landowners in places at the 'periphery' of Europe (Sweden and Wallachia), in the British colonies of North America and the Caribbean, or in the extra-colonial context (Japan or Rajasthan)? By addressing these questions, this volume offers fresh insights into the multi-directional flow of goods and cultures that enmeshed the eighteenth-century world. And by placing these goods in their specific material context - from the English country house to the princely palaces of Rajasthan - we gain a better understanding of their use and meaning, and of their role in linking the global and the local.

Mental illnesses are common and cause great suffering to individuals and communities everywhere in the world, but many health workers are more comfortable dealing with physical illness. This practical manual of mental health care is vital for community health workers, primary care nurses, social workers and primary care doctors, particularly in low-resource settings. This guide gives the reader a basic understanding of mental illness by describing more than thirty clinical problems associated with mental illness and uses a problem-solving approach to guide the reader through their assessment and management. Mental health issues as they arise in specific contexts are described - in refugee camps, in school health programmes, as well as in mental health promotion. The final section helps the reader to personalise for a particular location, for example, by entering local information on voluntary agencies, the names and costs of medicines and words in the local language for symptoms. This product is also available as Open Access.

The West and the East approach economic development differently. The Europeans and Americans stress free and fair business climate, promoting private activities generally without picking winners, and improving governance. East Asia is interested in achieving concrete results and projects rather than formal correctness, prioritizing a few sectors for industrialization, and eventual graduation from aid. The West mostly shapes shifting strategies of the international donor community while the East has in reality made remarkable progress in industrial catch-up. The two approaches cannot be merg

Fragen von Land sind angesichts von globalem Klimawandel, einer wachsenden Weltbevölkerung und mehrfachen Ernährungskrisen wieder in das Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit gerückt. Im Zuge der „Wiederentdeckung der Landfrage" wurden auch die vielschichtigen Dimensionen von Land erneut deutlich, die Land von anderen Ressourcen unterscheiden. Land symbolisiert Gemeinschaft, Erinnerung, Erbe, Zugehörigkeit und Identität ebenso wie Eroberung, Enteignung und Vertreibung. Land ist materiell und physisch greifbar und umfasst neben seiner Oberfläche auch den Erdboden und den Zugang zu weiteren Ressourcen. Land ist produktiv – und damit direkt an das Überleben von Menschen gekoppelt. Dieser Band zeigt auf, wie Land aktuell neu ausgehandelt wird – als gemeinschaftliches Gut, Privateigentum, Nährboden menschlichen Daseins oder Finanzanlageobjekt – und verweist auf die Vorstellungen von Raum und Raumordnungen, die diesen Aushandlungsprozessen zugrunde liegen. This volume shows how land is currently being renegotiated as a collective commodity, private property, fertile soil for human existence, or as an object of financial investment by identifying the ideas of space and spatial order on which these processes of negotiation are based.
