This volume makes available an international collection of plays; from Britain; the US; Germany; France and Russia; providing an essential and fascinating resource for anyone interested in the theatre culture of this period. Lovesick brings together six plays; each with individual introductions; including an author biography and a production history. The editor provides a contextual introduction to the volume offering valuable information about the ancestry of gay theatre and queer performance. The anthology reveals how sexual deviance made its way into the drama of this time; and also how homosexual playwrights used comic or lyrical devices in order to celebrate a superior sensibility.

It is very useful in illustrating different concepts such as exponential growth and limits; marginal v. average costs and decision making; etc and provides lots of good examples. However its unorthodox organization makes it difficult to apply to a class organized by topic area (energy; food; etc). It also would benefit from being updated and increased emphasis on climate and energy topics.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Thank god some sanity on the issue!By Michael WilliamsThis book should be read by any who want some reality applied to their ecology beliefs. This book is really a competent upper division text book that takes quantitative analysis seriously. My take is that Herendeen is attempting to make ecology into something akin to current day economics. The education about and then critique of cost benefit analysis (consider the time discount rate of the value defined over 300 years) was informative to novices like me who are inclined to promote simple cost benefit analysis approaches of almost all ecology problems. The raw data on large numbers of ecology parameters is also useful (e.g. half life of CO2 in the atmosphere; and hundreds of other data points) just to get some scale to your ecology intuitions.0 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Too broad range for an environmental issueBy paladino@centroin.com.brThis book presents a broad range of environmental analysis. We have a brief introduction to the problem. The best way must be a focus in quantitative analyis of specific environemtal problem
