Health care expert Henry Aaron has compared mentioning the possibility of rationing to "shouting an obscenity in church." Yet societies in fact ration food, water, medical care, and fuel all the time, with those who can pay the most getting the most. As Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen has said, the results can be "thoroughly unequal and nasty." In Any Way You Slice It, Stan Cox shows that rationing is not just a quaint practice restricted to World War II memoirs and 1970s gas station lines. Instead, he persuasively argues that rationing is a vital concept for our fragile present, an era of dwindling resources and environmental crises. Any Way You Slice It takes us on a fascinating search for alternative ways of apportioning life's necessities, from the goal of "fair shares for all" during wartime in the 1940s to present-day water rationing in a Mumbai slum, from the bread shops of Cairo to the struggle for fairness in American medicine and carbon rationing on Norfolk Island in the Pacific. Cox's question: can we limit consumption while assuring everyone a fair share? The author of Losing Our Cool, the much debated and widely acclaimed examination of air-conditioning's many impacts, here turns his attention to the politically explosive topic of how we share our planet's resources. 606 $aRationing 606 $aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aConsumption (Economics) 606 $aPricing 615 0$aRationing. 615 0$aEconomic development$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aConsumption (Economics) 615 0$aPricing. 676 $a339.4/7 700 $aCox$b Stan$01786641 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965896103321 996 $aAny way you slice it$94318550 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05645nam 2200733Ia 450 001 9911020168103321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786612279881 010 $a9781282279889 010 $a1282279882 010 $a9780470994405 010 $a0470994401 010 $a9780470994382 010 $a047099438X 035 $a(CKB)1000000000790613 035 $a(EBL)470181 035 $a(OCoLC)441887001 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000341692 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11947722 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000341692 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10394080 035 $a(PQKB)11777389 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC470181 035 $a(Perlego)2766136 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000790613 100 $a20090427d2009 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aPower quality indices in liberalized markets /$fPierluigi Caramia, Guido Carpinelli, Paola Verde 210 $aChichester, West Sussex, U.K. ;$aHoboken, N.J. $cJ.

They also serve as the basis for illustrating the negative impact of electrical disturbances on components and for assessing compliance with the required standards and recommendations within a regulating framework. Within these pages lies a comprehensive overview of both the traditional PQ indices in use today and new indices likely to be used in the future.
