Collapse and the Limits of Consumption

Collapse and the Limits of Consumption

historytoday.com — Jared Diamond's celebrated book Collapse: How Societies Choose To Fail Or Succeed , first published in 2005, has been criticised by the environmentalist Mark Lynas, who drew on the work of two scholars investigating the archaeological record on Easter Island.

Silences and cover-ups: is Jimmy Savile's past finally catching up with him?

ceasefiremagazine.co.uk — Most of us in adulthood should know who Jimmy Savile was, he could hardly be missed. Even those who are too young to remember his radio shows and his very popular TV show Jim'll Fix It, based around the premise of making dreams come true for young and old alike, could scarcely miss the flamboyant eccentricity of the man whenever he was featured on TV. Such appearances were, of course, still a regular occurrence even when he was past his prime largely due to his work for charity, his support for Stoke Mandeville Hospital in particular and his regular participation in the London Marathon. In this article I report on the shocking trail of evidence surrounding Saville's paedophilia that had remained ignored for years, and asks why so many, including within the BBC hierarchy, seemingly colluded in covering it up.
