This book demonstrates falsified economic performance of global economies when the environment is not recognised as a capital, and when the ecosystem is overlooked towards sustainable development. Seck begins with an analysis of standard macroeconomic framework and policy practice. He argues, with reference to environmental accounting literature, that environmental capital must form an integral component of economic measurement. This paves the way for an alternative environmental-macroeconomics framework for policy analysis that promotes sustainable development. The book demonstrates how environmental capital can be measured with reference to select OECD countries and provides a methodology for analysing how macroeconomic goals are related to a steady-state economy. Seck then concludes with a summary of the conflict between current economic growth and ecosystem preservation, and outlines possible policy improvements and directions for research. Rethinking Sustainable Development is an invaluable reference for policymakers as well as researchers and students of environmental economics, sustainable development, and macroeconomics.

Politics today appears driven by processes of denomination: 'my' people, community, nation, is external to, even opposed to, yours; and my allegiance is owed to my denomination. This book argues for a deconstruction of the violence embedded in such denominational borders in favour of nonviolent, equitable and sustainable 'neighbourhood democracy'.

Originally published in 1984, this title covers issues such as: services for the elderly and their effectiveness, policy issues and privatisation, women and ageing, cross-cultural comparisons, approaches to dementia, and the topics of reminiscence, attitudes, education, retirement, visiting and research utilisation.

In the 1980s few studies adopted a positive attitude to ageing and elderly people. First published in 1986, reissued with a new preface, this book helped to redress this imbalance by focusing on the theme of independence, examined particularly from the perspective of housing and social policies relating to elderly people.

In this title, first published in 1976, Gore explores some of the problems which face older people in the family and the community.
