Mainstream economists were quick to deride the model’s design on the basis that it underplayed the balancing feedback of the price mechanism in markets. ![]() In a discussion of less than than two pages, I think her position can be summarized by the following statements: To give you an example, Raworth mentions only once the 1972 study “The Limits to Growth” that was the first to pinpoint the resource problem. Natural resources, their depletion, and the related concept of “overshoot” are not just missing from the doughnut, they go mostly unmentioned and unnoticed in the whole book. It is natural resources and, in particular, non-renewable resources (*) Something is conspicuously missing and it is not a minor element of the overall picture. Look at the outer ring you will see 10 sectors, all related to pollution: climate change, ocean acidification, chemical pollution, etc. The problem with the doughnut is not so much understanding why it is shaped like a doughnut, but what it lacks. It is described as “a radically new compass for guiding humanity this century.” Ambitious, to say the least, but how is that supposed to work, exactly? Maybe I am missing something, but I not sure I can understand why the numerous concepts appearing in the figure should be arranged in a “doughnut.” ![]()

I had become so insulated in my world as a mother, that I didn’t know how to pick up the phone and call anybody to put myself out there.” “I had a push-pull thing inside me that I wanted to do it…. “It was very scary,” Lipton told The Times in 1993. The pair’s daughters, Kidada and Rashida, would both become actors, the latter gaining fame on the comedy series “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation.”Īfter Lipton and Jones divorced in 1989, Lipton decided to return to acting, landing the role of Norma Jennings on the cult TV series “Twin Peaks.” In 1974, Lipton married Jones and, with the exception of a 1979 “Mod Squad” reunion TV movie, stepped away from her career to focus on raising a family. ![]() Lipton parlayed her role on “The Mod Squad” into a singing career, enjoying chart success with her cover versions of “Stoney End” and “Lu” by Laura Nyro and “Wear Your Love Like Heaven” by Donovan. ![]() ![]() ![]() The title page features the ring bearer’s velvety green-gold ring pillow. The soft lavender echoes the colors on the book’s cover, which features our adorable ring bearer with the flower girl, presumably walking down the aisle. What a lovely touch and a promising beginning. ![]() This shade of lavender immediately conjures up fragrant, early-summer wedding flowers. Not that I wasn’t prepared to love any book by the masterful Floyd Cooper, but what an inspired choice of color. ![]() The Ring Bearer had me at the lavender endpapers. I find myself stopping to look at the colors, naming them, appreciating their nuances and blending, made more eye-catching because of his style. I get the idea, but this is sophisticated work, beyond a layperson, and I suspect, many artists. I’ve pored over his books trying to picture the process of washing color onto canvas and then erasing away layers to create the illustrations. I do not fully understand HOW his subtractive style works. The art he creates for his books is distinctive and unique. His contributions to American art and culture feel vital always, but especially when there are still too few African American authors’ and illustrators’ voices in U.S. I have long admired Floyd Cooper’s books. ![]() |
