This ground-breaking book is designed to raise awareness of human rights implications in psychology, and provide knowledge and tools enabling psychologists to put a human rights perspective into practice. Psychologists have always been deeply engaged in alleviating the harmful consequences human rights violations have on individuals. However, despite the fundamental role that human rights play for professional psychology and psychologists, human rights education is underdeveloped in psychologists’ academic and vocational training. This book, the first of its kind, looks to change this, by: raising awareness among professional psychologists, university teachers and psychology students about their role as human rights promoters and protectors providing knowledge and tools enabling them to put a human rights perspective into practice providing texts and methods for teaching human rights. Featuring chapters from leading scholars in the field, spanning 18 countries and six continents, the book identifies how psychologists can ensure they are practising in a responsible way, as well as contributing to wider society with a clear knowledge of human rights issues in relation to culture, gender, organisations and more.Including hands-on recommendations, case studies and discussion points, this is essential reading for professional psychologists as part of continuing professional development and those in training and taking psychology courses.For additional electronic resources for students and teachers, see the support material tab on the Routledge book page: https://www.routledge.com/Human-Rights-Education-for-Psychologists/Hagenaars-Plavsic-Sveaass-Wagner-Wainwright/p/book/9780367222963

Die spektakuläre Entwicklung der Energiepreise macht den gedankenlosen Verbrauch von Energie für die Bürger und die Unternehmen auch in den reichen Industrieländern zunehmend zum teuren Luxus. Dabei sind der Bezug von Heizöl oder Erdgas, das Tanken von Benzin oder auch der Strom aus der Steckdose nur vordergründig das Ziel unserer Wünsche.Was aber steckt eigentlich dahinter? Indem wir diese Energien z.B. in Heizkesseln oder Motoren verbrauchen, wandeln wir sie in „Nutzenergie", wie Wärme oder Arbeit um. Damit erfüllen wir die von uns gewünschten „Energiedienstleistungen", wie die Beheizung oder Beleuchtung von Räumen, den Betrieb stationärer oder mobiler Antriebe und weiteres mehr.Die beiden Autoren stellen die komplexen Zusammenhänge zu diesem Thema systematisch und wissenschaftlich fundiert dar. Gegliedert nach den verschiedenen Energiedienstleistungen werden die physikalisch-technischen Gesetzmäßigkeiten sowohl bei der Umwandlung in Nutzenergie als auch bei deren Wirksamwerden im Sinne der Energiedienstleistung aufgezeigt. In diesem Kontext erschließen sich sowohl die quantitative Bedeutung der einzelnen Energieverbrauchsbereiche als auch die vielfältigen Wege und Möglichkeiten einer rationelleren Energienutzung.Das Buch wendet sich an Ingenieure in der Energieversorgung und Energieberatung, die technisch machbare, wirtschaftlich optimierte Lösungen bereitstellen sollen, sowie an Studierende der Energietechnik und Energiewirtschaft
