Celebrated author John Iceland covers various topics, including America's historical demographic growth; the American family today; gender inequality; economic well-being; immigration and diversity; racial and ethnic inequality; internal migration and residential segregation; and health and mortality. The discussion of these topics is informed by several sources, including an examination of household survey data, and by syntheses of existing published material, both quantitative and qualitative. Iceland discusses the current issues and controversies around these themes, highlighting their role in everyday debates taking place in Congress, the media, and in American living rooms. Each chapter includes historical background, as well as a discussion of how patterns and trends in the United States compare to those in peer countries. 606 $aFamilies$zUnited States 606 $aEquality$zUnited States 606 $aImmigrants$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aRace discrimination$zUnited States 606 $aPoverty$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xPopulation 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFamilies 615 0$aEquality 615 0$aImmigrants$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aRace discrimination 615 0$aPoverty 676 $a304.60973 700 $aIceland$b John$f1970-$01038167 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465475503321 996 $aA portrait of America$92459583 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05419nam 2200733 a 450 001 9910139559903321 005 20230802004253.0 010 $a1-283-33302-3 010 $a9786613333025 010 $a1-118-24497-4 010 $a1-118-24498-2 035 $a(CKB)2550000000064070 035 $a(EBL)818250 035 $a(OCoLC)768082706 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000904864 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12460432 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000904864 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10925030 035 $a(PQKB)10166721 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000539775 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12244136 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000539775 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10579906 035 $a(PQKB)10614068 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC818250 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL818250 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10512953 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL333302 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000064070 100 $a20110701d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aOrganic production and food quality$b[electronic resource] $ea down to earth analysis /$fRobert Blair 210 $aAmes, Iowa $cWiley-Blackwell$d2012 215 $a1 online resource (298 p.) 225 1 $aFood science and technology 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8138-1217-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aOrganic Production and Food Quality: A Down to Earth Analysis; Contents; Foreword; 1 The Shift to Organic Food; Background; Organic regulations; Consumer perceptions; Analysis of the topic; References; 2 Consumer Concerns About Food; The concerns; Consumer concerns and attitudes; Food regulations; Justification for consumer attitudes about the safety of organic and conventional foods; Range of organic foods; References; 3 Vegetable Produce; Pest and disease control; Documented findings on pesticide residues; Other chemical contaminants; Other toxic and antinutritional compounds in produce 327 $aHormonesCan organic produce cause food poisoning?; Nutrient concentrations; Organoleptic quality; Identification of organic produce; Food from afar; Finally: watch which salad veg you eat; Conclusions; References; 4 Fruit; Pesticide residues; Other risks with fruit; Chemical residues; Microbial problems; Mycotoxins; Cloning and gene-modified fruit; Nutrient concentrations; Appearance and organoleptic qualities; Preserves; Conclusions; References; 5 Cereal Grains; Pesticide residues; Chemical residues; Other issues relating to grains; Mycotoxins: are organic grains less safe? 327 $aGene-modified cropsNutritional and organoleptic qualities; Wheat; Oats; Barley; Conclusions; References; 6 Meat; Chemical and pesticide residues; Organic meat; Hormones; Hormone residue levels in meats.

Until recently, more and more consumers in many countries were opting to buy organic food over conventional food, resulting in a radical shift in food retailing. This was due to concerns over chemical residues, food poisoning resulting in recalls, food scares such as ""mad-cow"" disease, issues like gene-modified (GM foods), ant 410 0$aFood science and technology. 606 $aNatural foods$xProcessing 606 $aFood$xQuality 606 $aConsumers$xAttitudes 615 0$aNatural foods$xProcessing. 615 0$aFood$xQuality. 615 0$aConsumers$xAttitudes. 676 $a363.19/29 700 $aBlair$b Robert$f1933-$0523367 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139559903321 996 $aOrganic production and food quality$91977955 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01105nam0-2200361---450 001 990010075350403321 005 20240209105434.0 010 $a9780702043406 035 $a001007535 035 $aFED01001007535 035 $a(Aleph)001007535FED01 035 $a001007535 100 $a20160523d2013----km-y0itay50------ba 101 0 $aeng 102 $aGB 105 $a--------001yy 200 1 $aMuscle biopsy$ea pratical approach$fVictor Dubowitz, Caroline A.
