Gert H. Muller The growth of the number of publications in almost all scientific areas, as in the area of (mathematical) logic, is taken as a sign of our scientifically minded culture, but it also has a terrifying aspect. In addition, given the rapidly growing sophistica tion, specialization and hence subdivision of logic, researchers, students and teachers may have a hard time getting an overview of the existing literature, partic ularly if they do not have an extensive library available in their neighbourhood: they simply do not even know what to ask for! More specifically, if someone vaguely knows that something vaguely connected with his interests exists some where in the literature, he may not be able to find it even by searching through the publications scattered in the review journals. Answering this challenge was and is the central motivation for compiling this Bibliography. The Bibliography comprises (presently) the following six volumes (listed with the corresponding Editors): I. Classical Logic W. Rautenberg II. Non-classical Logics W. Rautenberg III. Model Theory H. -D. Ebbinghaus IV. Recursion Theory P. G. Hinman V. Set Theory A. R. Blass VI. Proof Theory; Constructive Mathematics J. E. Kister; D. van Dalen & A. S. Troelstra.

What if modern society put a priority on the material security of its citizens andthe ecological integrity of its resource base? What if it took ecological constraint as a given, nota hindrance but a source of long-term economic security? How would it organize itself, structure itsindustry, shape its consumption?Across time and across cultures, people actually have adapted toecological constraint. They have changed behavior; they have built institutions. And they havedeveloped norms and principles for their time. Today's environmental challenges -- at once global,technological, and commercial -- require new behaviors, new institutions, and new principles.In thishighly original work, Thomas Princen builds one such principle: sufficiency. Sufficiency is notabout denial, not about sacrifice or doing without. Rather, when resource depletion andoverconsumption are real, sufficiency is about doing well. It is about good work and goodgovernance; it is about goods that are good only to a point.With examples ranging from timbering andfishing to automobility and meat production, Princen shows that sufficiency is perfectly sensibleand yet absolutely contrary to modern society's dominant principle, efficiency. He argues thatseeking enough when more is possible is both intuitive and rational -- personally, organizationallyand ecologically rational. And under global ecological constraint, it is ethical. Over the longterm, an economy -- indeed a society -- cannot operate as if there's never enough and never toomuch.
Most likely , though , that neglect owes to the fact that social scientists and the policymakers who employ social science reasoning see no need for an alternative rationality . Economic and legal rationalities prevail in public ...
