The world is in economic crisis, and there are no easy fixes to our predicament. Unsustainable trends in the economy, energy, and the environment have finally caught up with us and are converging on a very narrow window of time--the "Twenty-Teens." "The Crash Course" presents our predicament and illuminates the path ahead, so you can face the coming disruptions and thrive--without fearing the future or retreating into denial. In this book you will find solid facts and grounded reasoning presented in a calm, positive, non-partisan manner.

Our money system places impossible demands upon a finite world. Exponentially rising levels of debt, based on assumptions of future economic growth to fund repayment, will shudder to a halt and then reverse. Unfortunately, our financial system does not operate in reverse. The consequences of massive deleveraging will be severe.

Oil is essential for economic growth. The reality of dwindling oil supplies is now internationally recognized, yet virtually no developed nations have a Plan B. The economic risks to individuals, companies, and countries are varied and enormous. Best-case, living standards will drop steadily worldwide. Worst-case, systemic financial crises will toss the world into jarring chaos.

This book is written for those who are motivated to learn about the root causes of our predicaments, protect themselves and their families, mitigate risks as much as possible, and control what effects they can. With challenge comes opportunity, and "The Crash Course" offers a positive vision for how to reshape our lives to be more balanced, resilient, and sustainable.

Bereits im Vorwort zu Band XVII l dieses Handbuches wurde darauf hingewiesen, wie sehr die Moglichkeit der Strahlentherapie durch die EinfUhrung der in Beschleunigern erzeugten ultraharten Strahlungen und die Anwendung der von kunstlichen Radio- nukliden ausgehenden Strahlungen erweitert worden sind. Der vorerwahnte Band beschrankte sich auf die Grundlagen der Strahlentherapie und behandelt nur die Methoden der Strahlentherapie mit Rontgenstrahlen. 1m Gegensatz hierzu werden in dem hier vorliegenden Band jetzt die Moglichkeiten der Therapie mit Corpuscularstrahlen, d. h. schnellen Elektronen, energiereichen Neutronen und schweren Teilchen, wie Protonen und Deuteronen beschrieben. AuBerdem enthalt der zweite Band zum Thema Methoden der Strahlentherapie in zahlreichen von auf den einzelnen Spezial- gebieten besonders erfahrenen Autoren verfaBten Beitragen Beschreibungen uber die Therapie mit Strahlungen, die von den kunstlich erzeugten radioaktiven Stoffen aus- gehen. Hierzu gehort vor aHem die Telegammatherapie mit 60CO und 137CS, die Nah- bestrahlung und Kontaktbestrahlung mit umschlossenen radioaktiven Stoffen, die inter- stitielle Implantationstherapie, sowie die Therapie mit inkorporierten, offenen Radio- nukliden. Viele dieser Methoden haben sich in jahrelanger Praxis bereits bestens bewahrt und sind aus der modernen Strahlentherapie nicht mehr wegzudenken. Ihre Technologie wurde eingehend beschrieben. Andere Methoden sind vielleicht geeignet, in der Zukunft Eingang in die Praxis zu finden und deshalb nicht weniger interessant. Der vorliegende Band enthalt auBerdem einen Abschnitt uber die Bewegungs- bestrahlung, da diese Technik in gleicher Weise mit konventioncllen und ultraharten Rontgenstrahlen als auch mit den Gammastrahlen kunstlicher Radionuklide und ultraharten Rontgenstrahlen von Beschleunigern durchgefiihrt werden kann.

Now in her second installment, Marla is still firing Cupid darts at work, a plush dating service she calls the "Double D"-which doesn't stand for dream date. She and her husband Adolfo work hard to achieve their goal of leaving their small apartment behind and buying a home, but with a boss who requires Marla to cross ethical lines, a tiny spark is all it takes, and Marla goes from being vice-president of a multi-city enterprise to unemployment. Adolfo's passion switches to anger and then resentment, Marla's celebrity hob-knobbing, shopping in boutiques, and pricey Botox habit all skid to a dead stop. Bills pile up. Determined, Marla turns to Craig's list, connecting with a series of flaky employers, and if the 99 Cent Store doesn't carry it, she doesn't buy it. Broke and depressed, however, she rarely finds time to write. When a former client calls and asks if she'd work with him as a matchmaker privately, she shifts into a whole new level. Amazing things start happening. Not only does she help people find soul mates instead of trophies and sugar-daddies, she finds the emotional space to heal personal traumas in the past, ranging from the bullying she endured in her youth, a near rape, a disastrous previous marriage, and her father's death-an unusual experience involving the ocean's kiss. Marla writes as never before. Adolfo is proud of her, but Marla still holds grudges as they search for a new home. She decides to rekindle the flame in her marriage and thinks she knows just the person to help: Chantal, a former client who owns a spa specializing in Brazilian hot waxes. This proves to be a hilarious blend of torture, comedy, and high hopes-a bit like life itself. Along with her clients, Marla's heart is on the line as she discovers the powerful ways in which dreams are real.

This volume provides insight into the young generation's relationship and experiences with pornography. Generation P? is based on a unique and comprehensive study giving voice to the words and opinions of the young people themselves. Never before have pornography and sexualized material been so readily available and pervasive in young people's everyday life. TV programmes, advertising, and the music industry exploit and play with pornographic codes and scenarios. The sex industry launches and promotes its products via youth channels and websites. How do young people navigate through this pornographic landscape? Does the omnipresence of pornography breed curiosity or resistance? How does pornography challenge the role of parents and teachers? Generation P? provides answers to these questions and presents a unique body of new research on youth, gender and pornography. The study shows that the vast majority of young people in the Nordic countries have seen porn. But young people do not swallow the pornographic messages without resistance, and some are very critical of or actively opposed to them. It is very seldom that the voices of young people are heard in the public debate on pornography. In Generation P?, focus is set on the voices, definitions and experiences with pornography of young people themselves. The book contains contributions from leading researchers from different academic fields: sociology, psychology, media research, social work and public health.
