Benjamin Arditi
Politics on the Edges of Liberalism: Difference, Populism, Revolution, Agitation

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: New in PaperbackIn this innovatice challenge to liberal assumptions, Benjamin Arditi tackles four key areas in contemporary politics that work at `the edges of liberalism:` difference, populism, revolution, and agitation. Each chapter discusses the intellectual background and position of these phenomena in relation to liberalism. Difference is explored in the context of the culture wars and its celebration of particularism over universalism. Populism is portrayed as a specter that both accompanies and haunts liberal democracy, and agitation is considered in tandem with emancipatory politics and in relation to revolutionary politics. The final chapter vindicates the use of revolution for contemporary thought, challenging the existing liberal-democratic consensus. Arditi`s engagement with major thinkers helps him develop a novel interpretation of contemporary politics. [detailed...]

Lars S. Skalnes
Politics, Markets, and Grand Strategy: Foreign Economic Policies As Strategic Instruments

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Why do states sometimes discriminate in favor of certain states and at other times choose to pursue nondiscriminatory policies? In answering these questions, Lars S. Skalnes stresses the international political importance of foreign economic policy, arguing that trade, foreign investment, and foreign aid policies are strategic instruments great powers use to manage political and military relations with allies and adversaries. Skalnes explains changes in foreign economic policy in terms of shifting strategic assessments regarding the importance of military support from allies. When states need military support from their allies to meet threats to their security, they will adopt discriminatory foreign economic policies in an attempt to strengthen alliance relations. When states can go it alone without military support, by contrast, they will not pursue foreign economic policies that discriminate in favor of either allies or other countries. Discriminatory… [detailed...]

Russell E. Train
Politics, Pollution and Pandas: An Environmental Memoir

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionRussell E. Train, now chairman emeritus of the World Wildlife Fund, has led a remarkable life in conservation and environmental politics. Though many of his contributions have been unsung, Train was the catalyst for many of the nation?s most important positive environmental policies that remain with us today. In the current political climate, where party divisions are so sharp and environmental concerns are so often shunted aside, Train?s journey as a life-long Republican and anardent conservationist is an inspiring story. Much of the important environmental policy Train helped to devise and implement occurred during two Republican administrations, those of Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. Train served as undersecretary of Interior early in Nixon?s administration before becoming chair of the president?s Council on Environmental Quality (1970-1973). He then moved on to many accomplishments as head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from… [detailed...]

Pollen: The Hidden Sexuality of Flowers

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A scientific and artistic collaboration reveals a stunning, even sensual, microscopic world. Pollen grains have fascinated the scientifically curious since the 17th century. They are minute, almost impossible to see without a high-powered microscope, and remain hidden beyond the beauty o the flower until the moment of release. Then the grains, like alien spaceships, are carried by wind, water or animal to achieve their purpose of procreation. This beautifully produced and highly original book by an artist and botanical scientist portrays the perfect designs of these microscopic organisms. Special light and scanning electron microscopy are used to obtain astonishing images of pollen grains, which are combined with exquisite photographs of the parent plants. Pollen describes and illustrates in minute detail the reproductive workings of plants ranging from tulips and lilies to orchids and palms. The structure and form of pollen set the scene for… [detailed...]

Pollock

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A tragic icon of Abstract Expressionism, Jackson Pollock took influences from Picasso and Mexican surrealism and developed his own way of seeing, interpreting, and expressing. Though his name inevitably conjures up images of the drip paintings for which he is most famous, this technique was only developed midway through his career. The progression from his earlier work to his final `action` paintings - a veritable revolution of painting as a concept - reveals the genius of this tortured artist whom many call the greatest modern American painter.

Justin B. Hollander
Polluted and Dangerous: America`s Worst Abandoned Properties and What Can Be Done About Them

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Blighted, contaminated, and abandoned property mars nearly every major American city. Justin Hollander conducted primary research in twenty urban centers containing such `brownfields` or, in the most serious cases, `HI-TOADS` (High-Impact Temporarily Obsolete Abandoned Derelict Sites). His goal was to study the sites and the official handling of them through the lenses of sustainability, urban planning, redevelopment, and environmental justice. In Polluted and Dangerous, he scrutinizes specific sites in five of the affected cities: New Bedford, Massachusetts, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Richmond, Virginia, Trenton, New Jersey, and Youngstown, Ohio. Hollander poses the serious questions that local planners face when dealing with issues related to HI-TOADS. For instance, to what degree do planners recognize and acknowledge the problems? Do they see intervention as necessary, and, if so, to whom do they assign the responsibility for it? What measures are undertaken, and how successful are… [detailed...]

Daniel H. Cole
Pollution &, Property: Comparing Ownership Institutions for Environmental Protection

2002 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: Environmental protection and resource conservation depend on the imposition of property rights (broadly defined) because in the absence of some property system - private, common, or public - resource degradation and depletion are inevitable. But there is no universal, first-best property regime for environmental protection in this second-best world. Using case studies and examples taken from countries around the world, Professor Cole demonstrates that the choice of ownership institution is contingent upon institutional, technological, and ecological circumstances that determine the differential costs of instituting, implementing, and maintaining alternative regimes. Consequently, environmental protection is likely to be more effective and more efficient in a society that relies on multiple (and often mixed) property regimes. The book concludes with an assessment of the important contemporary issue of `takings`, which arise when different property regimes collide. … [detailed...]

Michael T. Rock
Pollution Control in East Asia: Lessons from the Newly Industrializing Economies

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Why do some economies seem to excel at effective pollution management while others seem to miss the mark when responding to deteriorating urban environments? These studies of pollution management in East Asia`s newly industrialized economies (NIEs) include successful government responses in Singapore and Taiwan, qualified results in China and Indonesia, and much more limited success in Thailand and Malaysia. In each example, Michael Rock considers the starting point of the economy as it began its path toward industrialization in the post World War II period. He discusses the relevant historical and political context, the pressures placed on the political system from domestic and international sources, and the influence of ongoing trends in East Asia for democratization and economic liberalization. Rock`s text makes it clear that each economy found unique, innovative ways to link environmental protection to its own political and economic institutions. Thus, while public… [detailed...]

Pollution Markets in a Green Country Town

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The brave new world of environmental economics--complete with pollution markets, emission brokers, and commodity auctions of emission allowances--has been developing in the U.S. for several decades. This book traces the evolution of such environmental management techniques in industrial Philadelphia. Initially a `greene country towne,` the city`s development led to significant pollution concerns, including rivers filled with sewage, typhoid deaths, and smoky plumes from coal combustion. Technological pollution controls improved conditions, but blunt regulatory tools eventually evolved into more refined economic approaches. This book describes that transition and the economic mechanisms that have emerged in recent decades, as well as prospective markets for ozone precursors and greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental risk.
