Sommario/riassunto |
|
How did our children end up eating nachos, pizza, and Tater Tots for lunch? Taking us on an eye-opening journey into the nation's school kitchens, this superbly researched book is the first to provide a comprehensive assessment of school food in the United States. Janet Poppendieck explores the deep politics of food provision from multiple perspectives--history, policy, nutrition, environmental sustainability, taste, and more. How did we get into the absurd situation in which nutritionally regulated meals compete with fast food items and snack foods loaded with sugar, salt, and fat? What is the nutritional profile of |

the federal meals? How well are they reaching students who need them? Opening a window onto our culture as a whole, Poppendieck reveals the forces--the financial troubles of schools, the commercialization of childhood, the reliance on market models--that are determining how lunch is served. She concludes with a sweeping vision for change: fresh, healthy food for all children as a regular part of their school day. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book presents a comprehensive exploration of the latest research in nanomaterial development for environmental pollution control. It delves into various themes, including the utilization of nanosensors in environmental monitoring, the creation of nano adsorbents and nanocatalysts for pollutant removal and degradation, and the potential application of nanomaterials and nanotechnology in remediating contaminated sites. The book also addresses potential risks associated with using nanomaterials in environmental pollution control, discussing nanotoxicology and the potential environmental and health impacts of nanomaterials. Furthermore, it explores the existing regulatory framework for nanomaterial usage in environmental pollution control and outlines future directions for developing and implementing nanomaterials in this domain. Featuring collected contributions from an international cross-section of active researchers in this broad and interdisciplinary field, this book caters to scientists, researchers, students, and professionals in environmental science, chemistry, materials science, and nanotechnology. It provides a detailed overview of recent advancements in nanomaterial development and application for environmental pollution control, emphasizing how nanotechnology holds promise for delivering effective solutions to environmental challenges. |
