Needs and Limits
Humankind has reached an unprecedented situation: it has overshot the planet's ecological limits. The author argues in chapter one that the solution is to sharply reduce our ecological impact by replacing the expansionary logic of capitalism with a new logic designed for sustainable well-being. His proposal for this new logic, the Economics of Needs and Limits (ENL), is outlined in the remainder of the book.
Needs and Limits
Humankind faces two formidable challenges in the 21st century: rapid ecological decline and continuing world poverty. The author argues that both problems are rooted in our economic concepts, which for the past 500 years have been powerfully shaped by the reality and ideology of capitalism. We must now develop a new mode of economic thought to guide us through the profound changes required to achieve sustainable and global well-being. To this end, the author proposes a set of terms, concepts, and analytical tools that are collectively known as the Economics of Needs and Limits, or ENL. Unlike conventional economic theories, which explain how an economy functions, ENL is a set of guiding principles that permits analysts to establish rational economic objectives. Such a framework is a requirement for moving our civilization beyond destructive growth and into the equitable, post-expansionary stage of its evolution.

The A to Z of German Cinema
German film is diverse and multi-faceted; its history includes five distinct German governments (Wilhelmine Germany, the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, the Federal Republic of Germany, and the German Democratic Republic), two national industries (Germany and Austria), and a myriad of styles and production methods. Paradoxically, the political disruptions that have produced these distinct film eras, as well as the natural inclination of artists to rebel and create new styles, allow for the construction of a narrative of German film. While the disjuncture generates distinct points of separation, it also highlights continuities between the ruptures. Outlining the richness of German film, The...
Historical Dictionary of German Cinema
The History of German film is diverse and multi-faceted. This volume can only suggest the richness of a film tradition that includes five distinct German governments [Wilhelmine Germany, the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), and the German Democratic Republic (East Germany), s well as a reunited Germany], two national industries (Germany and Austria), and a myriad of styles and production methods. Paradoxically, the political disruptions that have produced these distinct film eras, as well as and the natural inclination of artists to rebel and create new styles, allow for construction of a narrative of German film.

Communities in Action
In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape...
