Educating for Virtuosity. 330 $aThe core teachings and practices of Buddhism are systematically directed toward developing keen and caring insight into the relational or interdependent nature of all things. Hershock applies Buddhist thought to reflect on the challenges to public good, created by emerging social, economic, and political realities associated with increasingly complex global interdependence. In eight chapters, the key arenas for public policy are addressed: the environment, health, media, trade and development, the interplay of politics and religion, international relations, terror and security, and education. Each chapter explains how a specific issue area has come to be shaped by complex interdependence and offers specific insights into directing the growing interdependence toward greater equity, sustainability, and freedom. Thereby, a sustained meditation on the meaning and means of realizing public good is put forward, which results in a solid Buddhist conception of diversity. Hershock argues that concepts of Karma and emptiness are relevant across the full spectrum of policy domains and that Buddhist concepts become increasingly forceful as concerns shift from the local to the global. A remarkable book on this fascinating religion, Buddhism in the Public Sphere will be of interest to scholars and students in Buddhist studies and Asian religion in general. 606 $aBuddhism and social problems 615 0$aBuddhism and social problems. 676 $a261.83095493 700 $aHershock$b Peter D.$0868143 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476797503321 996 $aBuddhism in the Public Sphere$92937319 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03171nam 2200493Ia 450 001 9910437819503321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a3-642-35710-5 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-642-35710-7 035 $a(OCoLC)846430202 035 $a(MiFhGG)GVRL6WAM 035 $a(CKB)2670000000371262 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1317069 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000371262 100 $a20111102d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun|---uuuua 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aUnsaponifiable matter in plant seed oils /$fDidier Fontanel 205 $a1st ed. 2013. 210 $aBerlin ;$aHeidelberg $cSpringer-Verlag$d2013 215 $a1 online resource (x, 366 pages) $cillustrations 225 0 $aGale eBooks 300 $aIncludes indexes. 311 $a3-642-42935-1 311 $a3-642-35709-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and indexes. 327 $aIntroduction -- Total content of unsaponifiable matter and content of corresponding chemical families in various plant seed oils: Species A to B -- Total content of unsaponifiable matter and content of corresponding chemical families in various plant seed oils: Species C -- Total content of unsaponifiable matter and content of corresponding chemical families in various plant seed oils: Species D to K -- Total content of unsaponifiable matter and content of corresponding chemical families in various plant seed oils: Species L to N -- Total content of unsaponifiable matter and content of corresponding chemical families in various plant seed oils: Species O to Q -- Total content of unsaponifiable matter and content of corresponding chemical families in various plant seed oils: Species R to Z -- Exceptionally high content of unsaponifiable matter in plant species with high fat content -- Structures of chemical constituents listed, ordered by family -- Synopsis of species names. 330 $aHere, the author has compiled data on about 550 oil-bearing plant species with respect to their content of unsaponifiable matters and oils. This unique information resource offers important information for research and development of food products such as neutraceuticals as well as cosmetics. Unsaponifiable matters have varying effects: Conservation and stability (e.g.  lignans, tocopherols, tocotrienols), anti-inflammatory properties (triterpene alcohols), cholesterol-lowering (sterols), well tolerated occlusive effect on the skin (squalene). Information is provided in a clear and systematic fashion, including data on relevant chemical families and pertinent chemical structures. Also included is a thesaurus of English, Latin and French plant species names as well as 655 references to the scientific literature. 606 $aVegetable oils 606 $aBotanical chemistry 615 0$aVegetable oils. 615 0$aBotanical chemistry. 676 $a665.35 700 $aFontanel$b Didier$01064337 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437819503321 996 $aUnsaponifiable Matter in Plant Seed Oils$92537424 997 $aUNINA
