Why is sustainable development so difficult to achieve?
Sustainability actually seems to elude humanity at least as rapidly
as scientific knowledge of the world around us increases. One
possible explanation, according to the author, has to do with the
nature of our various knowledges. This essay challenges the
authenticity and legitimacy of our mainstream knowledge production
institutions and enterprises. It forces readers to ask themselves
whether they really know the world they live in as well as they
think they do or are they in fact confined to a world of
historically determined illusion. This essay should appeal to
anyone interested in linking social and ecological systems for
greater social, cultural, ecological and economic resillience. It
is particularly relevant to a western subruban context.

The French New Wave is an essential anthology of writings by and
about the critics and filmmakers of this revolutionary cinematic
movement, which has had a radical impact on film practice and the
way we think and write about film. The volume includes foundational
writings such as Francois Truffaut's A Certain Tendency in French
Cinema and Andre Bazin's La Politique des auteurs, as well writings
by Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Chabrol and Alexandre Astruc. This new
edition now represents writings by and about women critics and
film-makers, including important articles by the critics Evelyne
Sullerot, Michele Firk and Francoise Aude, addressing issues of
gender and representation, as well as considering New Wave films in
the context of contemporary political events, notably France's
colonialist war on the Algerian independence movement. To accompany
the case study of Godard's A bout de souffle, the new edition
includes a case study of the critical reception of two films by
Agnes Varda: La Pointe Courte and Cleo de 5 a 7 . The articles have
been specially translated for the volume by Peter Graham, and some
are published for the first time in English. These classic writings
are accompanied by contextualising introductions by Ginette
Vincendeau, updated for this new edition, to form a unique resource
on this key cinematic movement and its practitioners.
Writing for Maclean's magazine in 1965, Peter Gzowski saw something
different about the new generation of the left. They were not the
agrarian radicals of old. They did not meet in union halls. Nor
were they like the Beatniks that Gzowski had rubbed shoulders with
in college. "The radicals of the New Left, the young men and women
... differ from their predecessors not only in the degree of their
protest but in its kind. They are a new breed." Members of the new
left-this new breed of radicals-placed the ideals of
self-determination and community at the core of their politics. As
with all leftists, they sought to transcend capitalism. But in
contrast to older formations, new leftists emphasized solidarity
with national liberation movements challenging imperialism around
the world. They took up organizational forms that anticipated-
"prefigured," some said - in their direct, grassroots,
community-based democracy, the liberated world of the future. They
had their radical ambitions, their oft-disputed problems, their
broken promises, their achievements large and small. From 1958 to
'85 the city of Toronto was one of North America's leading centres
of this new leftism.
Persons only develop in relation to environment, much in the same
way we develop psychologically in relation to our parents and
caregivers. Neither child nor parent is properly conceptualized,
modelled, or understood without the inclusion of the other in the
map or model of psychological/ecological development. Likewise, we
perceive, think, and feel with and not just about environment and
material artifacts. The achievement of sustainability then implies
making changes to minds that are mediated, extended and distributed
across brains, bodies, and the materiality of one's environment.
Our inherited world, however broken, guides our individual and
collective becoming much as a parent guides the development of a
child. The traces of (un-) sustainability perspective refutes the
economistic conceptual model whereby rational economic actors are
misperceived and misunderstood to have the moral right, if not the
duty, to actively participate in the destruction of our collective
future with ethical immunity. The presumed intelligence and
naturalness of the market-based economic system is exposed as
primarily a historically inherited culture-based delusion. If
values and attitudes can be at least partially transformed by
transforming the mundane materiality which is co-constitutive of
our social mind, then an important milestone will have been
achieved in our understanding of (un-) sustainability.
Although administrative policy-making is overshadowed by the drama
of judicial decision-making, it is a vital part of the judicial
process. Peter Graham Fish examines the structure and legislative
history of the various institutions of the federal judicial
administration, their development, and their operation. He focuses
on the lower courts to show that, although it is delimited by a
network of formal institutions, the federal judicial administration
is characterized by informality and voluntarism and depends, as he
emphasizes, on the roles played by individual judges. As
administrators, judges become deeply involved in politics, and
Peter Graham Fish concentrates on the politics of the national
judicial administration. Within this framework he raises enduring
issues: Shall local federal judges be wholly independent or must
they conform to uniform standards of law and administration? Shall
administration be separate and diffused or united and centralized?
Shall politics be superior or subordinate to so-called standards of
"'efficiency"? Shall the interests of trial judges prevail over or
be subordinate to the regional and national interests of appellate
judges? How shall money, manpower, jurisdictional, and structural
changes be distributed among the courts? To what extent, if any,
should judges modify their behavior or institutions to meet
external criticism? Originally published in 1973. The Princeton
Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again
make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.

On a drizzly Monday morning, 16 August 1886, the inhabitants of
Timaru woke to astounding news. Tom Hall junior, a well-known local
businessman and man about town, nephew of former New Zealand

his wife, Kitty, by poisoning. Also charged was Margaret Houston,
Kitty Hall's lady-help. It was without doubt the most extraordinary
thing that had ever happened in Timaru, if not the whole
colony...So begins Vile Crimes, a riveting and fast-paced
examination of one of New Zealand's most sensational court cases.
