The BBC and NHK have dominated their national media systems since the 1920s and still play a central role in shaping political, social and cultural life. Both are highly trusted news organizations, and vitally influence national identity. Yet despite remarkably similar organizational and funding structures, they differ in their editorial autonomy, relationship to the state, and in the social and cultural roles they play. While the BBC, proud of its independence, acts as a watchdog on the powerful, NHK prefers a guide dog role cooperating with rather than confronting political elites. The BBC is also more willing to challenge prevailing social norms, often serving as an agent of social change. NHK prefers to avoid controversy, serving as an agent of social stability. The book argues that these differences were shaped by decades of conflict and cooperation between broadcasters, governments, commercial media, interest groups and audiences. The broadcasters adopted distinctive editorial strategies to retain public support and elite approval in the face of technological upheaval, hostility from commercial rivals, and continuous political interference. Both, however, continue to uphold the belief that democratic and social goals are better served by public rather than commercial media.

We are squandering our planet's natural capital-its biodiversity, water and soil, and energy sources-at a blistering pace. Major changes must be made to steer our planet and people away from our current, doomed course. Though technology has been one of the drivers of the current trend of unsustainable development, it is also one of the essential tools for remedying it. Earth at Risk maps out the necessary transition to sustainability, detailing the innovations in technology, along with law, science, institutional design, and economics, that can and must be put to use to avert environmental catastrophe. Claude Henry and Laurence Tubiana begin with a measure of the costs of ecological damage-the erosion of biodiversity; air, water, and soil pollution; and the wide-reaching effects of climate change-and then consider the solutions that are either now available or close on the horizon that may lead to a more sustainable global trajectory. What market-based tools can be used to promote clean growth? How can renewable energy help us decrease our use of fossil fuels? Is international agreement on climate goals possible? Henry and Tubiana tackle a range of urgent questions, emphasizing possibilities for-and obstacles to-implementation and action. Building on the experience of the most significant climate negotiation of the decade, they show what a world organized along the principles of sustainability could look like.

Juni 1915 schrieb ich im Kriegsgefangenenlager Ile Longue bei Brest (Frankreich): "Dem blutigen Ringen der europaischen Volker wird ein anderer, nicht minder heisser Kampf folgen - der Wettstreit um die Herr schaft auf dem Weltmarkte. Die Schlagschatten des grossen Krieges werden nicht spurlos an der deutschen Industrie vorubergehen; so manches wirtschaft liche Problem wird seine Losung verlangen. Arbeiter-, Betriebs- und Verwaltungsfragen werden sicherlich Brennpunkte bilden, und die vorliegende Schrift, die sich auf den Grundideen der "Wissenschaftlichen Betriebsfuhrung" aufbaut, darf wohl mit Recht darauf Anspruch machen, manche interessante Anregung auf dem Gebiete der Fabrikverwaltung zu bringen. Die Ubersetzung folgt im allgemeinen dem amerikanischen Urtexte. Die erlauternden Anmerkungen und Literaturangaben schienen am Platze, um zum weiteren Studium dieser neuen Richtung der Betriebs-und Geschaftsfuhrung anzuregen und die Auswahl einschlagiger Werke zu erleichtern." 1 In den 5 / Jahren, seit Fertigstellung dieser Arbeit, hat sich vieles 2 verandert; die Ereignisse zwingen zu einer vertieften Anwendung der in dieser Schrift behandelten Grundsatze. Nach dem Zusammenbruch bedarf die deutsche Industrie in verstarktem Masse einer straffen inneren Organisation, um sich aus dem Abgrund, in den sie gesturzt ist, herauszuarbeiten. Ostwaids energetischer Imperativ: "Vergeude keine Energie, verwerte sie," durchklingt die vorliegende Schrift, die ich der Offentlichkeit mit der Hoffnung ubergebe, dass dieser Grundton auch das deutsche Wirtschaftsleben durchklingen wird. Berlin-Wilmersdorf, Februar 1921. K. Jtalienel'. Inhaltsverzeichnis.:: leite Einleitung von H. L. Gantt . 1 1. Allgemeine Betrachtungen ."
