Chasing Beauty offers a female patient/participant peek into the glamorized but risky cosmetic surgery industry.   Jamieson's story details the struggles of an ordinarily ugly girl who sought beauty to escape low-class life and family neglect. It describes her confusion between image and self-worth; of reliance upon looks to satisfy self identity.   Chasing Beauty examines the trial of growing from a neglected child into a woman. Lacking parental guidance, the author chose the media and men as guides toward a strong feminine existence.   Chasing Beauty questions the relentless cultural enforcement of feminine perfection and warns against yielding to the siren call of youth. Jamieson instead comes to champion emotional substance and simplification for survival.   The author's extensive surgical journey ends at the age when many women are just beginning to consider cosmetic surgery to preserve youth or beauty.   By only age 36 she is tired of ""Chasing Beauty,"" and of the social rule that she must.

From the 1992 Rio Earth Summit to the 2009 Copenhagen Climate Conference there was a concerted international effort to stop climate change. Yet greenhouse gas emissions increased, atmospheric concentrations grew, and global warming became an observable fact of life. In this book, philosopher Dale Jamieson explains what climate change is, why we have failed to stop it, and why it still matters what we do. Centered in philosophy, the volume also treats the scientific, historical, economic, and political dimensions of climate change. Our failure to prevent or even to respond significantly to climate change, Jamieson argues, reflects the impoverishment of our systems of practical reason, the paralysis of our politics, and the limits of our cognitive and affective capacities. The climate change that is underway is remaking the world in such a way that familiar comforts, places, and ways of life will disappear in years or decades rather than centuries. Climate change also threatens our sense of meaning, since it is difficult to believe that our individual actions matter. The challenges that climate change presents go beyond the resources of common sense morality—it can be hard to view such everyday acts as driving and flying as presenting moral problems. Yet there is much that we can do to slow climate change, to adapt to it and restore a sense of agency while living meaningful lives in a changing world.The accompanying reference guide is included as a PDF on this disc.
