Editorial Review Product Description The world has changed in the seventeen years since the controversial initial publication of Paul Hawken's Ecology of Commerce, a stirring treatise about the perceived antagonism between ecology and business. Yet Hawken's impassioned argument—that business both causes the most egregious abuses of the environment and, crucially, holds the most potential for solving our sustainability problems—is more relevant and resonant than ever. Containing updated and revised material for a new audience, The Ecology of Commerce presents a compelling vision of the restorative (rather than destructive) economy we must create, centered on eight imperatives: Customer Reviews (42)

Editorial Review Product Description Ray grew up in a junkyard outside what had been longleafpine forest, an ecosystem that has nearly disappeared in the AmericanSouth through excessive logging. Her family had little money, but thatwas not important; they more than made up for material want throughunabashed love and a passion for learning, values that underlie everyturn of Ray's narrative.She finds beauty in weeds and puddles,celebrates the ways of tortoises and woodpeckers, and arguespowerfully for the virtues of establishing a connection with one'snative ground. "I carry the landscape inside like an ache," Raywrites. Her evocations of fog-enshrouded woods and old ways of livingare not without pain for all that has been lost--but full of hope aswell for what can be saved. --Gregory McNamee Customer Reviews (45)

Editorial Review Product Description "This collection amounts to a retrospective exhibition of a working life. . . . Bateson has come to this position during a career that carried him not only into anthropology, for which he was first trained, but into psychiatry, genetics, and communication theory. . . . He . . . examines the nature of the mind, seeing it not as a nebulous something, somehow lodged somewhere in the body of each man, but as a network of interactions relating the individual with his society and his species and with the universe at large."--D. W. Harding, New York Review of Books "[Bateson's] view of the world, of science, of culture, and of man is vast and challenging. His efforts at synthesis are tantalizingly and cryptically suggestive. . . .This is a book we should all read and ponder."--Roger Keesing, American Anthropologist Gregory Bateson (1904-1980) was the author of Naven and Mind and Nature.

What is the difference between a nip and a bite?
A true masterpiece! This is the type of book (among few) that can be read over and over again while discovering new facets of understanding every time. I highly recommend the metalogues.
Buzzwords mixed toghether in a pile of dross If you have to read this for an assignment, you'd better change major and give it to your worst enemy for toilet paper. That's how low I think of this. And to think that a tree was felled for this. Ha !
This book is an old friend. Not only did Bateson do a bang-up job of getting me to think in interesting or useful or maybe somewhat cleaner ways, he's actually pretty good at writing..... ... Read more |

list price: US$109.00 -- used & new: US$39.97 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 140205582X Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description Stream Ecology by Allan and Castillo is extensively revised and updated from the successful first edition to include major developments over the past decade. Although the subject matter is relatively advanced, this book has been written with the express goal of being accessible to students with only modest backgrounds in ecology and aquatic sciences. The First Edition was widely praised for its readability, and that emphasis is retained. The second edition opens with a new introductory chapter that sets the stage for what follows. The treatment of geomorphology and hydrology are greatly expanded from the first edition, and have been split into two, more substantial chapters. Basal energy resources, trophic roles and food web interactions are retained but thoroughly updated, particularly to include recent advances in microbial ecology and the synergies between producers and decomposers. The discussion of species interactions has been re-organized so that modern topics receive more emphasis, including trophic cascades, subsidies and food web structure. Chapters on organic matter dynamics and nutrient cycling have been substantially re-written to reflect the enormous growth in knowledge of stream metabolism and nutrient processes, the core of ecosystem functioning. The closing chapter on human impacts summarizes the status of river ecosystems and principal threats, and new material that describes advances in river management including the science of environmental flows, the successes and failures of river restoration, and the potential for ecosystem-based catchment management.

15. Ecology of Fear: Los Angeles and the Imagination of Disaster by Mike Davis | |

list price: US$15.95 -- used & new: US$8.13 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 0375706070 Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description As in City of Quartz,his earlier book about Los Angeles, Davis reveals the deeperideological narratives behind historical events. Whether he'sexplaining the motivations behind the persistent refusal of civicleaders to admit that a tornado alley runs down the middle of theregion, from Long Beach to Pasadena, or discussing, as one chapterrefers to it, "the case for letting Malibu burn," heoutlines his arguments with a fascinating amount of detail and asubtle sense of irony. There are wonderful chapters here, such as"Maneaters of the Sierra Madre," a zoology of the wildbeasts Angelenos fear, including mountain lions that descend from thehills to eat joggers and small children, swarms of Africanized killerbees making their way across the deserts, and El Chupacabra, the"goat-sucking vampire" that joined L.A.'s roster of faddishicons in 1996. Although this book is specifically about LosAngeles, its lessons about the relationship between urban developmentsand natural ecosystems and about the dangerous influence of classpolitics on environmental safety policy are applicable to anycity. Anyone with a serious interest in natural history or urbanpolicy should make a point of reading this book. --Ron Hogan Customer Reviews (50)

list price: US$49.95 -- used & new: US$35.42 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 0387922911 Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description This groundbreaking work is an attempt at providing a conceptual framework to synthesize urban and ecological dynamics into a common framework. The greatest challenge for urban ecologists in the next few decades is to understand the role humans play in urban ecosystems. The development of an integrated urban ecological approach is crucial to advance ecological research and to help planners and managers solve complex urban environmental issues. This book is a major step forward. |

list price: US$14.00 -- used & new: US$8.19 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 1608460916 Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description Around the world, consciousness of the threat to our environment is growing. The majority of solutions on offer, from using efficient light bulbs to biking to work, focus on individual lifestyle changes, yet the scale of the crisis requires far deeper adjustments. Ecology and Socialism argues that time still remains to save humanity and the planet, but only by building social movements for environmental justice that can demand qualitative changes in our economy, workplaces, and infrastructure. Finally, a book that bridges the best of the scholarly and activist literatures in socialist ecology! Sophisticated and compelling, eschewing academic jargons postmodern’ and otherwise, Ecology and Socialism more than competently champions a Marxist approach to environmental crisis and the kind of economic democracy needed to achieve an ecologically friendly system of production and human development.” This book is more than essential readingit is a powerful weapon in the fight to save our planet.” Chris Williams is a longtime environmental activist, professor of physics and chemistry at Pace University, and chair of the science department at Packer Collegiate Institute. He lives in New York City. Customer Reviews (3)
