Nota di contenuto

History of the understanding of stratospheric ozone -- Philosophical issues arising from the history.

Sommario/riassunto

The Ozone Layer: A Philosophy of Science Perspective provides the first thorough and accessible history of stratospheric ozone, from the discovery of ozone in the nineteenth century to current investigations of the Antarctic ozone hole. Drawing directly on the extensive scientific literature, Christie uses the story of ozone as a case study for examining fundamental issues relating to the collection and evaluation of evidence, the conduct of scientific debate and the construction of scientific consensus. By linking key debates in the philosophy of science to an example of real-world science, the author not only provides an excellent introduction to the philosophy of science but also challenges many of its preconceptions. This accessible book will



interest students and academics concerned with the history, philosophy and sociology of science, as well as having general appeal on this topic of contemporary relevance and concern.

Sommario/riassunto

This book investigates the reasons for lone mothers’ high poverty rates in Germany. It sheds some light on both the family and employment trajectories, and the institutional context. In quantitative analyses the poverty-enhancing effect of lone mothers’ social composition and of lone motherhood per se is identified. The influence of the institutional context is quantified by means of a period and country comparison with the UK.  Das Buch untersucht die Ursachen für das hohe Armutsrisiko alleinerziehender Mütter in Deutschland. Es werden sowohl die Familien- und Erwerbsverläufe als auch der institutionelle Kontext betrachtet. In quantitativen Analysen werden der armutsverstärkende Effekt der sozialen Komposition und des Alleinerziehens identifiziert. Anhand eines Periodenvergleichs und eines Vergleichs mit UK wird der Einfluss des institutionellen Kontexts quantifiziert.

Mit ihrer Dissertation leistet Hübgen nicht nur einen essenziellen Beitrag zum Verständnis des Armutsrisikos Alleinerziehender, sie liefert ebenso Hinweise auf die Entwicklung ökonomischer Benachteiligung von Frauen im Allgemeinen und die Auswirkungen geschlechtsspezifischer Arbeitsteilung auf die soziale Ungleichheit im Besonderen. (…) In diesem Sinne leistet Hübgens Dissertation auch einen wesentlichen Beitrag über den sozialwissenschaftlichen (lebenslauf- und familiensoziologischen sowie wohlfahrtsstaatsanalytischen) Diskurs hinaus.     soziopolis, 27.05.2020
