Download or read book Qualities of Life written by Commission on Critical Choices for Americans and published by Lexington, Mass. : Lexington Books. This book was released on 1976 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Quality of life" is an awesomely sweeping concept, involving all those concerns traditionally associated with "standard of living" and the much more amorphous questions of attitude, value, meaning and purpose. There is no GNP for measuring the quality of life. To define it for an individual is most difficult; to define it for the life of a society, perhaps impossible. In a nation that has prized diversity, each person pursues happiness in very different ways. The essays in this volume cover both the philosophic perceptions so deeply infused with the quality of life and the more pragmatic elements which most people recognize as being in some way related to quality. The contributors ask: What is the quality of life? How is it perceived? What contributes to it? Can quality be measured? They offer a detailed analysis of the measurement of quality: a place to live; a job to earn one's keep; education to prepare for life; health to maintain it; a life of dignity and identity after one leaves the work force, as well as the institutional arrangements through which all of this will or will not be accomplished. The work is a stimulating, thought-provoking examination of an area of great concern in America today. The goal of quality in the lives of all Americans deserves all the inventiveness and courage of which this nation is capable. -- Provided by publisher

Download or read book America s Climate Choices written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-06-11 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is occurring. It is very likely caused by the emission of greenhouse gases from human activities, and poses significant risks for a range of human and natural systems. And these emissions continue to increase, which will result in further change and greater risks. America's Climate Choices makes the case that the environmental, economic, and humanitarian risks posed by climate change indicate a pressing need for substantial action now to limit the magnitude of climate change and to prepare for adapting to its impacts. Although there is some uncertainty about future risk, acting now will reduce the risks posed by climate change and the pressure to make larger, more rapid, and potentially more expensive reductions later. Most actions taken to reduce vulnerability to climate change impacts are common sense investments that will offer protection against natural climate variations and extreme events. In addition, crucial investment decisions made now about equipment and infrastructure can "lock in" commitments to greenhouse gas emissions for decades to come. Finally, while it may be possible to scale back or reverse many responses to climate change, it is difficult or impossible to "undo" climate change, once manifested. Current efforts of local, state, and private-sector actors are important, but not likely to yield progress comparable to what could be achieved with the addition of strong federal policies that establish coherent national goals and incentives, and that promote strong U.S. engagement in international-level response efforts. The inherent complexities and uncertainties of climate change are best met by applying an iterative risk management framework and making efforts to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions; prepare for adapting to impacts; invest in scientific research, technology development, and information systems; and facilitate engagement between scientific and technical experts and the many types of stakeholders making America's climate choices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking exploration of how race in America is being redefined The American racial order—the beliefs, institutions, and practices that organize relationships among the nation's races and ethnicities—is undergoing its greatest transformation since the 1960s. Creating a New Racial Order takes a groundbreaking look at the reasons behind this dramatic change, and considers how different groups of Americans are being affected. Through revealing narrative and striking research, the authors show that the personal and political choices of Americans will be critical to how, and how much, racial hierarchy is redefined in decades to come. The authors outline the components that make up a racial order and examine the specific mechanisms influencing group dynamics in the United States: immigration, multiracialism, genomic science, and generational change. Cumulatively, these mechanisms increase heterogeneity within each racial or ethnic group, and decrease the distance separating groups from each other. The authors show that individuals are moving across group boundaries, that genomic science is challenging the whole concept of race, and that economic variation within groups is increasing. Above all, young adults understand and practice race differently from their elders: their formative memories are 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and Obama's election—not civil rights marches, riots, or the early stages of immigration. Blockages could stymie or distort these changes, however, so the authors point to essential policy and political choices. Portraying a vision, not of a postracial America, but of a different racial America, Creating a New Racial Order examines how the structures of race and ethnicity are altering a nation.
