When political ecology first emerged as a distinct field in the early 1970s, it was rooted in the neo-Marxism of world system theory. This collection showcases second-generation political ecology, which retains the Marxist interest in capitalism as a global structure but which is also heavily influenced by poststructuralism, ..."

"At Home In Maintown homes, the construction of knowledge in the earliest
preschool years depends in large part on labelling procedures and what-
explanations. This pattern of linking old and new knowledge is reinforced in
narrative tales which fictionalize the teller's events or recapitulate a story from a
book. Thus for these children the bedtime story is simply an early link in a long
chain of interrelated patterns of taking meani ..."

"The story of Roman Polanski's career is checkered with sadness and scandal. Arguably the most controversial film director of our time, his strokes of genius on the screen enthral, move and entertain us--and despite the events of his personal life, his power as a filmmaker is indisputable.
