"Expanding our understanding of contagion beyond the typical notions of infection and pandemics, this book widens the field to include the concept of biosocial epidemics. The chapters propose varied and detailed answers to questions about epidemics and their contagious potential for specific infections and non-infectious conditions. Together they explore how inseparable social and biological processes configure co-existing influences, which create epidemics, and in doing so stress the role of social inequality in these processes. The authors compellingly show that epidemics do not spread evenly in populations or through simple coincidental biological contagion: they are biosocially structured and selective, and happen under specific economic, political and environmental conditions. This volume illustrates that an understanding of biosocial factors is vital for ensuring effective strategies for the containment of epidemics"--

Strabon von Amaseia, Zeitgenosse der Kaiser Augustus und Tiberius, sah sich als stoischer Philosoph. Er verfasste eine umfangreiche Geschichtsdarstellung und eine Geographie. Erhalten hat sich lediglich sein geographisches Werk. Es ist umfangreich, inhaltlich komplex und vielfältig. Darin führt Strabon durch die ganze seinerzeit bekannte bewohnte Welt – von der Iberischen Halbinsel im Westen bis nach Indien im Osten, von Britannien im Norden bis nach Aithiopien im Süden. In den Mittelpunkt seiner Geographie stellt Strabon nicht etwa die Beschaffenheit der Erde, sondern den Menschen – es ist eine Kulturgeographie, die er verfasst hat. Dabei verstand er es, seine Darstellung interessant, lebendig und sogar unterhaltsam zu gestalten.

"Although violent conflict has declined in northern Uganda, tensions and mistrust concerning land have increased. Residents try to deal with acquisitions by investors and exclusions from forests and wildlife reserves. Land wrangles among neighbours and relatives are widespread. The growing commodification of land challenges ideals of entrustment for future generations. Using extended case studies, collaborating researchers analyze the principles and practices that shape access to land. Contributors examine the multiplicity of land claims, the nature of transactions and the management of conflicts. They show how access to land is governed through intimate relations of gender, generation and belonging".
