Laddar... THE ECONOMY OF NATURE: Rethinking the Connections between Ecology and Economics| 27 | 1 | 862,694 | 
(5) | Ingen/inga | "Weaving together history, science, and personal experience, ranging from Adam Smith and The Wealth of Nations to Leontief analysis and wilderness zoning, The Economy of Nature offers a blueprint for a greener and more prosperous world. It states quite bluntly that in the debate over wilderness preservation versus economic growth, both sides are wrong, and that a third path is not only possible but necessary. This third path is not a compromise between the other two but a whole new direction."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved… (mer) |

As art and industry advance, the materials of cloathing and lodging, the useful fossils and minerals of the earth, the precious metals and the precious stones should gradually come to be more and more in demand, should gradually exchange fr a greater and a greater quantity of food, or in other words, should gradually become dearer and dearer. This accordingly has been the case with most of these things upon most occasions, and would have been the case with all of them upon all occasions, if particular accidents had not upon some occasions increased the supply of some of them in a still greater proportion than the demand.
-- Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations
Men have an indistinct notion that if they keep up this activity of joint stocks and spades long enough all will at length ride somewhere, in next to no time, and for nothing; but though a crowd rushes to the depot, and the conductor shouts "All aboard!" when the smoke is blown away and the vapor condensed, it will be perceived that a few are riding, but the rest are run over.
-- Thoreau, Walden
The economy of nature, its checks and balances, its measurements of competing life -- all this is its great marvel and has an ethic of its own.
-- Henry Beston, The Outermost House
The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.
-- Shakespeare, Henry VI, Part 2

On August 10, 1776, while George Washington and his Continentals, dug in on Long Island, were still waiting impatiently for the first official British response to the Declaration of Independence, a ragtag band of ten men -- five Spaniards and five Native Americans -- crept down out of the La Plata Mountains of southwestern Colorado and set up camp beside a small, sluggish branch of the Mancos River. Rain was falling, and one of the Spaniards was sick. They had made less than five miles that day, but it was going to have to do. | |

Here in this gully, where the coaches slowed to a near walk as the horses labored up the final incline, the famed highwayman Black Bart pulled off two major heists. That was only a little over a hundred years ago. Today, try as you may, you will be hard put to discover even a trace of a wheel's long-ago passage. (Klicka för att visa.
