Why Preserve Natural Variety?

Book Description

"[Bryan Norton] seeks to offer directions, to stimulate readers to ask the right questions, and to clarify some of the fuzzy thinking that pervades sections of the conservation movement. I found this a helpful and well-structured book written with a clarity of style and logic not always found in philosophic treatises. . . . Why Preserve Natural Variety? arrives at an opportune time. Biodiversity is a current catch word and Norton provides a good analysis of both the arguments supporting biodiversity and the criticisms by skeptics. . . ."--David R. Given, BioScience "Norton's book is a fine companion piece to his anthology The Preservation of Species (Princeton University Press, 1986). . . . Rewarding reading for anyone who has ever reflected on why, how, or if natural habitats should be preserved."-- Library Journal "A valuable and unique contribution both to environmental ethics and public policy analysis of the preservation of species question. Norton provides a critical overview of the range of thought on the issue, presents a new and comprehensive rationale for preservation of both species and ecosystems, and addresses policy issues." --Choice

Why preserve natural variety? Read this and find out!.......2000-05-23

Norton presents a review of moral, economic, and philosophical rationales for preserving natural variety, i.e., biological diversity and the habitats that support it.

This is not a "bleeding heart" tree-huggers guide to preserving nature. It is, on the other hand, an academically sound presentation of ideas and rationales that can help one understand that the discussion of the value of, say, a tree goes much further than the amount of money one could obtain by cutting it down and selling it for lumber or pulp.

The book focuses on definitions and examples of different methods of applying value systems to diversity. After all, in this world there is little hope of preserving a thing when its value cannot be identified.

Three main value systems are discussed in the book:

1) Demand value (the economic or market value of a thing or access to a thing)

2) Intrinsic value (the value of the existance of a thing, regardless of its market value -- i.e., the value of a thing because "it is"

3) Transformative value (the likelihood that contact with a thing will change the way humans view that thing and other entities in nature)

Norton uses those value systems to present ideas about why natural diversity ought to be preserved.

This book is, in my opinion, a must read for anyone who teaches about the environment. It should also be read by legislators, and, to tell the truth, it wouldn't hurt many environmentalists to read it either!

A highly recommended book. 5 stars!

This is a fun little book.......2005-10-16

Don't read this book if you're feeling morally evolved and compassionate; but do read it if you feel like being wicked, shallow, and frivolous. There's a place for that. You read this book in the same way that you read Cosmopolitan or a tawdry romance novel-for the fantasy of it. There are days when you feel like wearing stiletto heels and skimming the surface of social interaction. This book is good for that sort of narcissism.

Read this book as a source of ideas, but get some other sources as well; I'm told that Emily Post and your mother have some good thoughts. We all need advice for sticky and tricky situations, and this one pampers your fantasy life even as it offers some chatty common sense (or, other times, some awful ploys-read Grace Under Pressure with a grain of salt under your tongue).

I've used this book when I'm in a snit with a friend. I've used this book to bolster my confidence. I've used this book as a source of catty catharsis- but bear the following in mind: it's easy to outgrow this book. It's neither mature nor classy. It's only good for those days when you feel like returning to the center of the universe.

Read Grace Under Pressure in bed, with a box of chocolates and rollers in your hair. It'll make you feel feminine, in charge, and worthy of those towering five-inch heels. Just remember how practical five-inch heels are, and place this book in the same category.

Crass, shallow, and anything but elegant.......2004-12-30

How about calling it "The Call-Girl's guide to f*** etiquette?" As a fabulous girl, I was appalled. Bought it, read it, returned it. Is that a faux-pas?? Apologies to social dilettantes Kim Izzo and Ceri Marsh.

yuk.......2004-12-11

The advice was ho hum, but the disturbing undercurrent about the book was the basic definition of a "fabulous girl"--the world these authors describe is a world in which the FG is one who may have sex with anyone, anywhere, any time, etc. Example, on sex in public: "sometimes she just can't help herself." On having VD: "You realize that it could have been one of five men who gave it to you and that means you may have given it to any and all of the others. Ugh." Ugh indeed.

Not too different...........2004-08-21

The concept of the Fabulous Girl (FG) first came up in Kim Izzo and Ceri Marsh's first book, "The Fabulous Girl's Guide to Decorum." But they belly-flop in their second book, "The Fabulous Girl's Guide To Grace Under Pressure," primarily because it comes across as a retread of the first book.

What do you do if you have a crush on a coworker -- and you already have a guy? How do you deal with a scandal? Being caught in flagrante by your boss? (Hint: Say it will never happen again!) And what about blind date etiquette? Izzo and Marsh cover these problems and many more, covering friends, sex, dating, work and longtime relationships.

For a modern woman, the field of etiquette can be a tricky one. How can you be courteous at your work and everyday life, without losing the necessary toughness? Izzo and Marsh have a fair number of tips for where the lines should be drawn. Good tips, bad tips, and really ugly tips ("He proposes, but you're not ready").

The biggest problem with "Guide to Grace" is that it treads very little new turf. Like its predecessor, it's mostly about manners. Not serious pressure. And when reading tips on relationships and workplace problems, there's a certain feeling of deja vu. It's like Izzo and Marsh had to write another book, but couldn't quite think of enough original material, so they retread old ground.

What's more, it doesn't really handle situations that are "under pressure." Okay, you have a friend who is a wolf in sheep's clothing. How is that "pressure"? It's a mildly sticky situation, but certainly not anything to get too worked up about. There are a handful of situations that are genuinely tense -- such as advice on stalker ex-boyfriends -- but there's a lot more on how to avoid embarrassment. Not sticky, not tricky, not outrageous -- just moderately embarrassing.

Kim Izzo and Ceri Marsh boldly go where they've already gone in "The Fabulous Girl's Guide to Grace Under Pressure." While it has some fairly interesting tips -- but nothing too "pressured" -- this book ends up feeling stale and thin as a month-old Saltine.

Not your traditional etiquette book.......2004-08-16

This book is kind of cute, but it was definitely not what I expected. To be honest after attempting to read the book several times I gave up without finishing it. The advice the book does give on etiquette is just plain common sense. There isn't anything "sticky, tricky, or outrageous" about the situations described in this book.
If you're looking for a book of how to handle modern day etiquette I would definitely read "Things You Need to be Told" by the Etiquette Grrls.

Ellie is frantic. Her two best friends seem to be living life in the fast lane while she putters along the curb. Glamorous blond Magda has got a thousand cute boys buzzing around her, and Goth girl Nadine has just been asked to take part in a national teen modeling contest. All Ellie has are massive panic attacks about her weight. So she decides to go on a diet. But instead of counting calories, Ellie just tries to stop eating altogether. Soon she's starving, miserable, and lying all the time to her friends and family. Luckily, a frightening encounter with a real anorectic, and an encouraging dose of art history from a handsome new teacher ("Beauty is just fashion. Male artists have used beautiful women throughout the centuries but their sizes and proportions keep changing") help Ellie realize that size is just a state of mind.

In this second installment of the Girls trilogy, fabulous British author Jacqueline Wilson keeps her trademark funny bone firmly in place while simultaneously raising some sobering questions about issues like eating disorders and teens' overemphasis on appearance. Despite the laughs, Ellie very nearly lapses into anorexia, Magda gets a scare when her chronic flirting almost leads to date rape, and Nadine realizes that the modeling business could care less about her individuality or intellect. Wrapping serious messages in a sugary comical coating is always the best way to make the medicine go down. Recommended for those teen female readers who want something both funny and filling. (Ages 12 and older) --Jennifer Hubert

Book Description

Ellie thinks she looks awful. Horrible. FAT. Her best friends are both drop-dead gorgeous and Ellie’s sick of being the ugly duckling. So she goes on a diet. And she even starts to exercise, much to her friends’ and her gym teacher’s amazement. Ellie’s hungry all the time, she works out every spare second, and she’s turned into a grouchy meanie. But if her friends don’t want to deal with the new and improved Ellie, that’s their problem. It’s better to be thin than happy. Isn’t it?

What is she grumbling about?.......2007-08-11

What I hate about books like this one is that the main character is a girl of average height and size who can't stop complaining about how horrible her body is. So what if she's not tall and skinny like model-like Nadine? So what if she hasn't got a figure of 8 like sexy Magda? When reading this, normal young girls with perfectly healthy, normal bodies may feel that there is something wrong with their figure, and that they too should be worrying like Ellie does or going to extreme measures to lose weight...

NO! THIS BOOK IS SENDING THE WRONG MESSAGE!!!!!.......2006-02-11

This book is about Ellie Allard being overweight and deciding to become annorexic. IT'S NOT OKAY TO BE ANNOREXIC!!!!! tjis book is setting a bad example.

great.......2005-10-09

This if a great book (especially if you are pre/teens) because it deals with things that people actually feel and it gives such a morol which is a good thing you don't mostly get in some books and it teachesbe happy with the way you are. It reminds of the movie "when best friends kill". I would recommend this book to ANYONE

Semi-Good.......2005-06-29

It was a good book and I think that Ellie just gets the idea that you have to be perfect. I was once in her shoes and I experianced the same thing she did so I relate more to it. Her friends are perfect so she envys them.

Girls Under Pressure.......2005-04-20

This isn't the best book in this series. The entire time you get to listen to Ellie moan and complain about her weight- yet the second someone sticks food under her nose she can't seem to help herself. Shouldn't she have a little more willpower?

Wilson turned Ellie into a mean, argumentitive character. I understand what she was getting at- that not eating enough was making Ellie's temper suffer- but I really don't care to read a book where the main character is such a baby.

I did buy the other books in this series, which I thought were an improvement on this one.

Join Ellie, Magda and Nadine for a fun and scary ride through adolescence.......2007-02-16

As you can probably tell from the titles, these books tackle the issues that most teenagers go through: Falling in love, the high and lowlights; feeling you're far too fat compared to your friends and going on a diet; and wanting to see the world at night, but lacking the street smarts or parental approval to do so.

If there's one memory from youth in regards to literature, it's reading the 'Girls Trilogy' and not being able to put it down. These stories keep you engrosed, making you want to find out what happens next to these girls and whether they find their way out of all the troubles they go through. Along with humour, funny little drawings, and realistic storylines, this series is especially good for teenage girls who might be feeling insecure about themselves and unsure what to do in certain situations that come up through the journey of adolescence.

Jacqueline Wilson's books don't claim to be Shakespeare, they are written in a way that teenagers can relate to, the way they speak, the way they would write, the thoughts they would think.
No matter if you're 12 years old or 20 years old (like me!) if you enjoy reading fun teenage fiction, you'll love this.

Save yourself some money and buy all 3 books in one! It's well worth it.

Will Blow Your Freakin' Mind!!!.......2006-07-05

I was ready to hate this book, ready to do battle with another soft-headed New Ager who, in a mirror image of the lab coat creationists, wants to bend science to their will, to appropriate its authority to help sway, even coerce, for the sake of their grand cause. Was I surprised! Wilber's introduction is a pellucid repudiation of The Toa Of Physics and The Dancing Wu Li Master and a devestating blow to the even less legitimate "What The Bleep Do We Know." Wilber even abandons his own earlier views on physics supporting his mysticism. Why? Because he read these founders of New Physics, and not one of them believed that their work supported it. And this wasn't out of their ignorance of Eastern thought. No, in fact, each of these great thinkers is well versed in mysticism and, ultimately, they are mystics themselves! Wilber makes it clear that (opposed to my belief that science can only become mysticism henchman if you lessen science) that only by lessening your mysticism can you claim it's proven in the lab. And pragmatically he argues that by hitching your mysticism to the science wagon, you are (as was the case with Capra) subject to the further results of experiments that might disprove your theory. Science is, after all: provisional, changing, abstract and only intelligible in the language of mathematics. Mysticism, on the other hand, is unmediated, absolute and ever-true. Not that Wilber walks away from his dialogue with these great scientists disillusioned. His Mysticism is firmly intact. He just admits that science is not the way to get there, except in the sense that a profound understanding of physics gives you a profound understanding of its limits, of its failure to address being as such. And it is this deep understanding that lead all these scientists to their mysticism. Science should be left to scientists and Religion to the religious. Why would you want to mix the two? Only if you want to coerce, only if you are too weak to look Shiva in the eyes. This book changed me, I hope you can read the introduction with an open mind.

Interesting.......2004-12-10

I read one reviewer, an academic I suspect (perhaps in a religion/philosophy dept.), refer to Quantum Questions as

Easy reading.......2004-09-09

This books simply show's that physics "the hardest and most objective of the sciences", and it's greatest thinkers, Ultimately have no way to say they are being objective. So they become somewhat mystical in there thinking...when they return to the world of chairs and tables to try and make sense of their findings. The book does not shed much light if any on the somwhat mystical nature at the very essence of our material reality as uncovered by quantum physics. It seems more to focus on what these physisists as human beings are left to deal with. The book is grounded in that manner. It doesn't run on in imagination with the wide open playing field of quantum theory. It is a book that does deal with the taboo of equating the quantum world with our macroscopic world. Many book's out there do this in very convaluted ways, this book has more of a focus to it but is a little dry and a bit too truncated with the text of these thinkers and their thoughts/conclustions.

Avoids the hard questions.......2003-12-30

The title is a bit misleading- very little of the implications of "quantum physics" is ever discussed in this book. Overall, this is a work of major political correctness-- nobody is right or wrong, it all depends on who and how you look at it. The book does a decent job of researching and commenting on the thoughts of past physicists, but the truth is they avoided telling the world their true thoughts on the matter. Research money would disappear if they did, so we will never really know. This book just helps the science-naive person realize that most physicists are not atheists, but agnostics (a word not specifically mentioned, but the only logical conclusion if you follow the text). Tough questions like analyzing today's most populous religions in terms of the scientific method are avoided. Only the more "logically" propositions of Eastern religions, like Buddhism, are talked about. The author seems to forget an important tenet of logically reason-- the reasoner should be non-biased. Four Math Phd's determining the truth of a mathematical proof is different than four Cardinals determining whether a miracle occurred. Simply because any four Math Phd's will come to the same conclusion, while four Rabis and four Cardinals will probably disagree on a lot of points. (Even though Rabis and Cardinals are both experts in matters of Religion and Soul).

Written by Heisenberg, Schroedinger, Einstein, De Broglie,.......2003-09-30

This is simply a fascinating collection of the words of many recognized masters of physics on the topic of the science of physics and how it relates (or doesn't) to religion and spirituality. There is a short introduction by Ken Wilber. If you value such information, here's your book.

I wrote this review because the book is worth 5 stars. The one person who criticized the book, and brought the rating down to 4 stars, seemed to be talking about some other book. The review made no sense. My take is that it was a rant against a perception rather than an experience of the book. There is nothing New Age about this book. And this is much less a book about Ken Wilber's views (which are not New Age anyway) and much more a book about the views of Eddington, Pauli, Planck, Jeans, etc. If you're curious about the spiritual views of these men, here's your opportunity. Enjoy!!!

Dreiser's motor trip back home to Indiana.......2006-01-21

In the summer of 1915, at a party in NYC for Edgar Lee Masters, illustrator Franklin Booth, a fellow Hoosier, asked Dreiser if he would care to accompany him on a motor trip to Indiana. Sensing the possibility of making a book out of the trip, Dreiser agreed. On August 11, Dreiser and Booth, along with a driver/mechanic named Speed, left NYC for the great midwest of their childhoods.

This, the book that resulted from the trip, is many things: travelogue, personal memoir, soap box for Dreiser's unorthodox beliefs, among other things. As a travelogue, it's relatively easy to trace their journey almost town to town (no maps are in the book) because Dreiser names many of them; he is also impressed by a lot of them and seems to be consistently enthused about what might be around the next bend. The year being 1915, one might assume they would've taken the newly established Lincoln Highway, but they didn't, electing to go via a more circuitous route through Scranton, Elmira, and Buffalo. Dreiser is obviously thrilled by motor travel and waxes ecstatically about it throughout the trip.

After reaching Indiana and visiting some old familiar places, Dreiser's comments are sometimes cynical and critical (especially of small-town attitudes and prejudices), but are also enthusiastic and proud (he has a Whitmanesque belief in the American people). But the reader must also endure sentences like these: "I often ask myself what it is all about, anyhow, and what are we here for, and why should anyone worry whether they are low or high, or moral or immoral. What difference does it really make?" Expressing sentiments like these is what kept Dreiser in trouble with the critics.

All in all, it's a very interesting book. Dreiser's muscular prose pulls the reader along, and most of what he has to say is still relevant. The only thing sorely missing is an index, which would be very helpful. Like all long car trips there are slow, dreary stretches, but not nearly enough to wish you stayed home.

Dreiser and Me.......1999-12-11

I read Sister Carrie when I was a teenager in China. The other day I listened to a Hoosier's holiday on Talking Books. He went back to his hometown after some thirty years. I went back to my hometown, Hangzhou, China and saw my old house now completely destroyed and replaced by a huge scaffolding. Somehow I felt my experience wasn't so different from Dreisers. I liked the book so much I'm going to order a copy to read certain parts again, although I have been in Indianapolis exactly once in my lifetime. Indianapolis and Hangzhou are world's apart. Dreiser and me are only 50 years apart but I feel I knew how he felt. Kai Lai Chung

Dreiser and Me.......1999-12-11

The Wit, Wisdom, and Cynicism of Dreiser at its Very Best.......1999-09-08

Theodore Dreiser is one of America's great authors, but he is also an enigma wrapped inside a contradiction. Forever in awe of the "great social forces" lurching mankind forward, and inspired by the great financial titans and clever capitalist geniuses who attempted to reap the whirlwind, Dreiser nevertheless embraced communism late in his life as the antidote for the injustices plaguing mankind. He was a spirited social rebel, railing against orthodoxy and Puritan "Babbitts" who would foist their Midwestern morality down upon him, but at the same time, as he demonstrates in this book, his idealization of the small-town Hoosier philistines in Warsaw, Sullivan, and other whistle stop towns far removed from the Broadway footlights he had known intimately by the time this epic journey to the Heartland commences. Dreiser devoted hundreds, perhaps thousands of pages of prose to attacking the small-town "Babbitts" sharing the views of another world-weary cynic, Henry Louis Mencken. And yet, for all his caustic attitudes toward rigid conventions, Dreiser swoons in near reverie after catching first glimpse of the mundane streets, the old grammar school, feed store, and the simple folk he remembered from his youth. In other passages,examples of plain country living he encounters along the bumpy, dusty backroads of America circa 1914, are ridiculed and scorned as one would commonly expect of Theodore Dreiser and his war against society's religious and social conventions. Nevertheless, Dreiser's personal observations on life are often more engaging and inciteful than in some of his later novels. He is an American master; a pioneer of literary realism, and despite the contradictions, this is a fine and engaging volume exploring a vanished American landscape. Mr. Brinkley is to be commended for presenting it to the reading public again after all these years.
