Mammon Worship in America: Challenging College Students’ Perceptions About Consumerism and Affluence
As American adults experience record levels of material affluence, they are giving less to religious organizations and are experiencing declines in well-being and mental health even while turning in greater numbers to religion. At the same time, a rising percentage of college students aspire to be well-off financially and overspend in ways that may constitute a modern form of mammon worship. In response, this paper provides Christian college instructors biblical and social science resources and thought-provoking discussion questions to use with their students to demonstrate that while money is not inherently evil, it cannot buy happiness, and aspiring for affluence actually leads to harmful psychological outcomes

The FOOTPRINT software tools: pesticide risk assessment and management in the EU at different spatial scales.
Original paper can be found at: http://www.ask-eu.com/default.asp?Menue=149&AnbieterID=586 [Full text of this paper is not available in the UHRA]In the EU-project FOOTPRINT three pesticide risk assessment and management tools were developed, for use at different spatial scales. The three FOOTPRINT tools share the same underlying science, based on the consistent identification of environmental characteristics driving the fate of agriculturally applied pesticides and their interpretation to parameterise state of the art modelling applications thus providing an integrated solution to pesticide risk assessment and management in the EU
