Risk Regulation in Non-Animal Food Imports: The European Union Approach By Francesco Montanari, Veronika Jezso, Carlo Donati


2015 | 112 Pages | ISBN: 3319140132 | PDF | 3 MB

This Brief aims at providing a general understanding of the rationale – scientific as well as political – behind EU policy and related risk management decisions in the area on non-animal food imports. Lately, various menaces associated with imported food and feed of non-animal origin appeared in the media: imported sprout seeds contaminated with E. coli, strawberries containing hepatitis A or noro viruses, to name but a few, are now as much discussed as the different well-known meat scandals. The authors explain the reinforced official controls at EU borders on certain imports of non-animal origin and the wide range of EU measures that currently foresee trade restrictions for imports presenting chemical and non-chemical ‘high risks’ from a public health perspective (so-called ‘emergency measures’). The Brief closely examines chemical (and also non-chemical) risks associated with imports of non-animal origin and their impact on human health. The authors also consider the role risk analysis is playing to underpin risk-management decisions at EU level, including the scientific output by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

"In Christ" in Paul: Explorations in Paul"s Theology of Union and Participation

Constantine R Campbell, ""In Christ" in Paul: Explorations in Paul"s Theology of Union and Participation"

Nearing thirty-five years ago, E. P. Sanders famously stated that the center of thought within Paul"s theology is participatory in nature – which, of course, caused no small debate within broad strands of Pauline scholarship. Sanders also suggested that we have no modern conception of what this thought might mean for us today. These two axioms of Sanders loosely organize the essays in this volume which seek to explore the complex notions of union and participation within Pauline theology through exegesis, highlights in reception history, and theological reflection.

Enemy in the East: Hitler"s Secret Plans to Invade the Soviet Union (Repost)

Enemy in the East: Hitler"s Secret Plans to Invade the Soviet Union By Rolf-Dieter Muller


2014 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 178076829X | EPUB + PDF (conv) | 5 MB + 9 MB

Operation Barbarossa, Hitler"s invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, led to one of the most brutal campaigns of World War II: of the estimated 70 million people who died in World War II, over 30 million died on the Eastern Front. Although it has previously been argued that the campaign was a pre-emptive strike, in fact, Hitler had been planning a war of intervention against the USSR ever since he came to power in 1933. Using previously unseen sources, acclaimed military historian Rolf-Dieter Muller shows that Hitler and the Wehrmacht had begun to negotiate with Poland and had even considered an alliance with Japan soon after taking power. Despite the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, at the declaration of war in September 1939, military engagement with the Red Army was still a very real and imminent possibility. In this book, Muller takes us behind the scenes of the Wehrmacht High Command, providing a fascinating insight into an unknown story of World War II.
