The Adventures of a Guilty Liberal Who Attempts to Save the Planet and the Discoveries He Makes about Himself and Our Way of Life in the Process

A guilty liberal finally snaps, swears off plastic, goes organic, becomes a bicycle nut, turns off his power, and generally becomes a tree-hugging lunatic who tries to save the polar bears and the rest of the planet from environmental catastrophe while dragging his baby daughter and Prada-wearing, Four Seasons-loving wife along for the ride. And that's just the beginning. Bill McKibben meets Bill Bryson in this seriously engaging look at one man's decision to put his money where his mouth is and go off the grid for one year--while still living in New York City--to see if it's possible to make no net impact on the environment. In other words, no trash, no toxins in the water, no elevators, no subway, no products in packaging, no air-conditioning, no television . . .

What would it be like to try to live a no-impact lifestyle? Is it possible? Could it catch on? Is living this way more satisfying or less satisfying? Harder or easier? Is it worthwhile or senseless? Are we all doomed or can our culture reduce the barriers to sustainable living so it becomes as easy as falling off a log? These are the questions at the heart of this whole mad endeavor, via which Colin Beavan hopes to explain to the rest of us how we can realistically live a more "eco-effective" and by turns more content life in an age of inconvenient truths.

James H. Cassedy

This comprehensive narrative history of early and mid-nineteenth-century American medicine is also an important account of the rapid introduction of statistical methods during the same period. Cassedy illuminates clinical medicine, public health, surgery, and the principal medical-sectarian movements from 1800 to 1860 by examining the varied uses of numerical analysis, not only in hospitals, medical schools, societies, journals, and other medically related institutions, but in private medical practice. In carrying out this study, he thus explores the roots of modern statistical thinking, the extension of data collection activities, the rise of statistical institutions and activities, the emergence of statistical agencies and professionalism, and the remarkable surge of enthusiasm for quantification that spread across the United States during this time. American developments in both medicine and statistics are related to developments in Europe and are placed in the overall setting of American social, economic, and intellectual history.

This new book provides a sound summary of the rapidly expanding body of knowledge on ground water pollution sources, evaluation and control. It is used to plan and implement ground water quality management programs, and also may be used as a text. The first three (introductory) chapters are about ground water quality, its importance, its management, and information sources.

A Least-cost Strategy

Abstract: An authoritative review address some of the more important issues confronting progress in improving the general health of the world's population with the view of developing least-cost strategies for health improvement. Topics include: primary health care, drinking water, toilets, low-risk diets, anti-smoking measures, and high-technology. It is concluded that least-cost health improvement strategies will accord a priority to preventive and primary methods designed to attack the world's leading causes of unnecessary death. Specifically, childhood infections can be drastically reduced by primary health care to poor women and children at a cost of 0.2% of the world's economic output ($10 billion/year), saving 5-10 million lives/year. Investments in wells and toilets are needed in areas of high diarrhea, tropical, and parasitic diseases. Middle-age heart disease and cancer can probably be reduced by 50% through diet modification and smoking control. Nutrition education, smoking restrictions and tobacco taxes can extend millions of lives into old age. Data related to these conclusions are presented. (wz).

A General Theory of Sensors and Sense Data

This book's approach to general sensor theory is divided into two parts. Part I deals with the description and composition of sensors and the characterization of the information produced by sensors, whether they be artificial sensors or the sense organs of living beings. The aim here is to define what a sensor is and what methods are used in sensing. The nature of the sensory problem is discussed, the distinction is drawn between sensing and perceiving, and the possible kinds of sensors and sense organs are enumerated. Part II deals with the theoretical and epistemological implications of sensor theory. These include the mature of the sensory object, projections and errors, an information theory model of the sensory process and image analysis. This book is not an engineering manual for the design of artificial sensors, nor is it a discussion of the details of human sense organs or sensation. The aim here is to draw upon these detailed studies and find a theory which encompasses them.

Health Benefits and Outcomes

Serving as a reference to a broad spectrum of scientific studies on the health impacts of active living among older adults, this book offers professionals & students in a variety of disciplines easy access to the health evidence supporting physically active lifestyles. The perceived effects are organized into separate categories, including: physical health, disease prevention, psychosocial attitudes, lifestyle behavior, & economic well-being. Also, the majority of the scientific studies reviewed in this work were done in the United States. Although the focus in this work is limited to adults over 50, the amount of available information from disease prevention to economic savings is surprising. Health educators, public health officials, therapists, physical educators, physicians, geriatricians, home support caregivers, nursing staff, hospital administrators, researchers, policy analysts, & government agencies will all find the scientific support they need to convince authorities of the improved health & quality of life available to elderly communities with more active living.
