Family portraits and neighbourhood cameos, friends and acquaintances leaving indelible marks and memories, the good and the less good. The author turns the clock back half a century to the Garston of his childhood and youth.

In this volume a double strategy of framing television as both a prop and a body implant is used. McLuhan first saw television as a body with potential for global community. The author develops McLuhan's vision with more attention to political economy, body politics and bio-technology.

Provides an examination of two opposing viewpoints and covers a discussion of the ethical boundaries of markets, the role of private property rights in environmental protection, the nature of sustainability and the valuation of goods over time. This book is suitable for students studying courses in ecological and environmental economics.

In this study, O'Neill examines the postmodern turn in the social sciences. From a phenomenological standpoint, he challenges Lyotard's post-rationalist reading of Wittgenstein and Habermas, in order to defend commonsense reason and values that are constitutive of the everyday world.

The author draws on considerable research in this area to provide an overdue critical evaluation of the limits of the market, and future prospects for non-market socialism.

Introduces readers to environmental problems by presenting, and then challenging, two approaches to environmental decision-making, one from environmental economics, the other from environmental philosophy. This book examines the implications of this approach for policy issues such as biodiversity conservation and sustainability.

Revealing flaws in both "green" and market-based approaches to environmental policy, O'Neill develops an Aristotelian account of well-being. He examines the implications for wider issues involving markets, civil society and politics in modern society.

Five Bodies offers an introduction to some of the most urgent contemporary concerns within the sociology of the body. This new edition has been substantially revised and updated to address today's issues of the body in modern life, community and politics.

"John O'Neill's gothic short stories, set in the Canadian Rockies, are haunted by the violence inherent in nature and humans. The mountains are majestic and impassive. The characters are surprising, bent, but also empathetic. Their survival is tenuous. A two-sister team of goth tour guides offers guided excursions up switchback mountain trails; a paroled convict thumbs his way into the life of a family driving west; and an animal pathologist, while performing a necropsy on a grizzly bear, has an unusual encounter with both technology and humanity. Goth Girls of Banff is a superb collection, sharply written, with plot turns as consequence-laden as those on an iced-over mountain road."--

Every day we experience shocks to our civic sensibility. In our view, these shocks are due to the marketization of our social endowment, of family life, of childhood, health, and knowledge, of security and employment. The raw side of the trend towards the marketization and defamilization of the social bond is what we see in street crime, drugs, school drop-outs, single-family poverty, homelessness, and unemployment, which we experience either directly or vicariously through media reportage whose power to observe is equalled only by its inability to explain. Indeed, the media coverage of the daily degradation of the life-world is itself an essential ingredient in the reduction of social concern to social anxiety that further undermines civility.

Arguments are drawn from political economy, psychoanalysis, and semiotics to describe the cultural functions of the media with respect to the state, the economy, the family, women and children and with regard to the problem of sustaining democratic public and civic institutions whose activities are wholly represented through the media.

Accompanied by supporting text, this book is a valuable pictorial history which will reawaken nostalgic memories for some, while offering a unique glimpse of the past for the others.

Civic Capitalism examines the current surrender to global capitalism and market elites that exploit rich national niches of civic society, education, health, the rule of law, and social security, and challenges it to re-focus on the needs of children and the poor.
