Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The problem of intergenerational justice is among the most important issues in contemporary politics. Yet contemporary philosophers and political theorists have had great difficulty coming to grips with the nature and extent of our intergenerational obligations. This book examines the historical roots of intergenerational justice and analyzes this concept critically. Contemporary approaches are critiqued for their inability to address adequately such essential intergenerational questions as whether, and under what circumstances, we have an obligation to perpetuate the human species, the moral implications of our power to affect the identity of future persons, and the nature of our obligations to the dead. The concluding chapters propose a broader understanding of intergenerational justice and the moral necessity of establishing a tradition of just intergenerational action as our legacy to posterity.

"Models of Cooperation in U.S., Latin American and Caribbean Libraries" considers library cooperation in the context of "The Americas," a name given to the geographic, political and cultural entities which constitute the American continents. One of the main characteristics that identifies this region is the dichotomy between the developed, mainly Anglophone North and the countries located south of the US-Mexican border, known collectively as Latin America. The Caribbean region, although it maintains its own identity, is very often lumped into the Latin American context.

The collection of papers presented in this volume does not try to discuss each and every one of the existing cooperative projects in the American region. Many of the papers describe cooperative experiences and projects in the Caribbean region, while others are more theoretical in content and broader in geographic coverage. It has been the intention of authors and editor alike, to compile a practical document that can be used for information as well as for discussion.
