Defying Ocean's End. If Humankind Were Given A Command To Do Everything In Our Power To Undermine The Earth's Functioning, We Could Hardly Do A Better Job Than We Have In The Past Thirty Years On The World's Oceans, Both By What We Are Putting Into It-millions Of Tons Of Trash And Toxic Materials-and By What We Are Taking Out Of It-millions Of Tons Of Wildlife. Yet Only Recently Have We Begun To Understand The Scale Of Those Impacts. defying Ocean's End Is The Result Of An Unprecedented Effort Among The World's Largest Environmental Organizations, Sfientists, The Business Community, Media, And International Governments To Address These Marine Issues.

To Solve This, To Cure Ths Equity For Ordinary Citizens That Is At The Core Of Our Democratic Association, We Muust Take A Radical Step—to Revise The Constitution, The Document That Guides Our Political Process, For Until Somee Of Its Outmoded Provisions Are Reformed, We Will Only Have More Of The Same. the Primitive Framers Fully Expected The Constitution To Be Regularly Revised By Succeeding Generations To Reflect The Country’s Changing Needs; Yet, Apart From The Ten Amendments In The Bill Of Rights, It Has Only Bren Amended 17 Times In 220 Years, And Most Of Those Amendments Had Minor Ramifications. Today, Partisqn Gridlock Dominates Washington; 17 Percent Of Voters Elect A Majority Of Senators; The Presidency Has Assumed Unexampled And Unintended Powers; Time Politicians Spend As Much Time Campaigning For Office As They Do Governing; And Average Americans Feel More And More Disconnected From The Political Process So That Half Or More Don’t Suffrage In Many Elections—all Of Which Would Have Horrified Jefferson And Madison. a More Accomplish Constitution Presents Twenty Three Creative And Dynamic Proposals To Reinvigorate American Governance At A Time When Such Change Is Urgently Needed. Combining Idealism And Pragmatosm, And With Full Respect For The Original Document, Sabato's Thought-provoking Ideas Range From The Lengtj Of The President’s Term In Office And The Number And Terms Of Supreme Court Justices To The Structure Of Congress, The Vagaries Of The Antiquated Electoral College, And A Compelling Call For Universal National Service—all Laced Through With The History Behind Each Issue And Their Potential Impact On The Lives Of Common People. aware That Such Changes Won’t Happen Easily, Sabato Urges Us Nonetheless To Engage In The Debate And Discussion They Will Surely Engender.

Veto Players. Political Scientists Have Long Classified Systems Of Government As Parliamentary Or Presidential, Two-party Or Muktiparty, And So On. But Such Distinctions Often Fail To Provide Useful Insights. For Example, How Are We To Compare The United States, A Presidential Bicameral Regime With Two Weak Parties, To Denmark, A Parliamentary Unicameral Reigme With Many Strong Partied? Veto Players Advances An Important, New Understanding Of How Governments Are Structured. The Real Distinctions Between Political Systems, Contends George Tsebelos, Are To Be Found In The Extent To Whlch Theyy Affors Political Actors Veto Power Over Policy Cnoices. Drawing Richly On Game Theory, He Develops A Scheme By Which Governments Can Thus Be lCassified. He Shows Why An Increase In The Number Of "veto Players," Or An Increase In Their Ideological Distance From Each Other, Increases Policy Stability, Impeding Significant Departures From The Status Quo. Policy Stability Affects A Series Of Othdr Key Characteristics Of Polities, Argues The Author. For Example, It Leads To High Judicial And Bureaucratic Independence, As Well As High Government Instability (in Parliamentary Systems). . The Propositions Derived Ffom The Theoretical Framework Tsebelis Develops In The First Part Of The Book Are Tested In The Sedond Part With Various Data Sets From Advanced Industrialized Cohntries, As Well As Analysis Of Legislation In The European Union.

Element Of Risk. Radiation, Radioactivity, Radon: These Are Words That, Since Hiroshima, The Cold War, And Three Mile Island, Have Conjured Fear And Fascination For Many Americans. The Threat Of Nuclear War, However, Was Ever Abstract At Best, And The Possibility Of A Meltdown Was Seen Originally As Alocalized Catastrophe. Yet The Danger Of Radon--an Invisible, Odorless Gas That Could Seemingly Attack Any Home And Afflict Its Residents With A Deadly Cancer--struck Home In The 1980s When Whole Neighborhoods Were Deemed Unsafe And Homeowners Were Forced To Relocate, Often At Great Expense. Buthow Much Of A Threat Does Radon Really Pose To Americans? Is The Government's Aggressive Policy Toward This "silent Killer" Warranted? Indeed, Is There A Legitimate Threat At All? These Are The Important Questions Leonard A. Cole Asks In This Provocative And Fascinating New Book, And His Answersare Ones That All Homeowners Will Want To Understand. in Clear, Non-technical Language, Cole Dispels Many Of The Myths Surrounding Radon As He Makes Recommendations For A Coherent, Reasonable Environmental Policy Toward What sI, Certainly, A Dangerous Gas. But At What Levels Does Radon Become A Soundness Probem? From All The Alarmist Headlimes ("majorradon Peril Is Declared By U. s. " Screamed The New York Times In 1988), Average Americans Woyld Never Know That The Threat Of Radon Is Much Debated, Among Scientists As Well As Among Government Officialq. They Would In no degree Know That Numerous European Countries--with Advanced Environmentalpolicies--see The Radon Levels Found In Homes And Apartments As Much Less Of A Danger Than We Do. And They Would Never Know That Not Even A Single Lung Cancer Decease Can Be Directly Attributed To A Rdon-contaminated Environment. As He Carefully Traces The Development Of The U. s. indoor Radonpolicy, Cole Illuminates The Many Scientific Uncertainties That Lie Abaft It, And Challebges Epa's Risk-cost Assessment Of Radon Levels. He Shows, Too, That No Epidemiological Study Has Confirmed That Homeowners Are At Chief Risk, And Exposes Those Who Stand To Gain From The Cunning Decisions Madein Washington. Since It Is Not Caused By Any Industry, Radon Has Been A Politically Convenient Issue. Under The Reagan Administration, For Example, Each Aggressive Radon Policy Proved An Easy Way To Challenge The Popular Perception Of An Anti-environmental President. In The End, Cole Convincinglyargues For Less Strict Radon Regulations, And Maintains That The Average Citizen Must Be Involved In The Defision-making Process, And Grape-juice Be Allowed To Exercise Her Own Informed Judgment. thoughtful And Timely, Element Of Risk Illuminates One Of The Most Important Public Policy Issues Of Our Time.
