labouratory Earth taps the relevant knowledge from physical,
biological, and social sciences needed to study the planet
holistically. This so-called Earth Systems Science fosters a new
way to understand the Earth and our roles as inhabitants, with the
purpose of building solutions to the bewildering global environment
and overdevelopment.Educational, business, health, and governmental
organizations often dissect the world into narrow but highly
specialized disciplines,economics, ecology, cardiology,
meteorology, glaciology, or political science, to name a few. But
real world problems, like urban sprawl, public health, poverty,
toxic waste, economic development, the ozone hole, or global
warming, do not fit neatly into disciplinary boxes. However, author
Stephen Schneider asserts that these contemporary issues must be
viewed as systems of interconnected subelements. This is especially
true for global environmental problems, since they arise from
increasing numbers of people demanding higher standards of living
and willing to use the cheapest available technologies to pursue
these growth-oriented goals, even if the unintended byproducts
include land degradation, toxic pollutants, species extinctions, or
global climate change. To first understand and then solve such
problems, we must learn to view the Earth and our socioeconomic
engine as one integrated system.Schneider, who in the 1970s
predicted global warming would become demonstrable" by the turn of
the century, chooses that debate to illustrate how this
twenty-first century Earth Systems Science approach works,
introducing us to the sharp controversies and highly visible
debates among climatologists, ecologists, economists,
industrialists, and political interests over the seriousness and
solutions to the climate change crisis. He begins with a
fascinating journey to the beginning of geologic time on Earth and
traces from there the coevolution of climate and life over the next
four billion years. Along the way we learn about the Gaia
Hypothesis, the demise of the dinosaurs, and the likelihood of an
impending ice age.Schneider traces our climatic history not only
from the beginning and up to the twentieth century, but deep into
the twenty-first as well. He depicts the next one hundred years as
a potentially perilous period for climate and life,unless we
citizens of Earth recognize and then work to control the unintended
global scale experiment we are foisting on ourselves and all other
life on labouratory Earth." This lab" is not built of glass, wires,
and tubes, but of insects, soils, air, oceans, birds, trees, and
people. While no honest scientist can claim to have clairvoyant
vision into the twenty-first century, Schneider optimistically
demonstrates that enough is already known to command our attention
and to insure that the juggernaut of human impacts on Earth doesn't
turn into a gamble we can't afford to lose.

New Hollywood violence is a groundbreaking collection of essays
devoted to an interrogation of various aspects, dimensions, and
issues relating to the depiction of violence in New Hollywood
filmmaking. 'New Hollywood' refers to the return to genre
filmmaking following America's flirtation with European art cinema
in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and is characterised by vast
production budgets, and special effects. Focusing on the
motivations, the formal and stylistic qualities and the cultural
politics of violence as well as the effects on viewers, the
collection is divided into four sections: 'Surveys and schemas';
'Spectacle and style'; 'Race and gender' and 'Politics to
ideology'. An Afterword by Stephen Prince reflects on the various
essays and points the way towards areas of future exploration. -- .
