unmatched capacity for projecting their effects across the domestic
economy, and in the worst cases far beyond that, across the region and
even across the world."<br>

"Access to more capital makes bigger crises feasible: every
now and then, somewhere in the world, one is going to happen.<br>
<br>
"Is this because the same mistakes are made again and again, or is
each crisis is unique? The answer is yes to both: each
crisis is unique, and the same mistakes are made again and
again."<br>

"While a bubble is inflating, reckless lending seems merely bold,
and appropriately well-rewarded. Deteriorating credit quality is easy
to conceal so long as the price of property and other assets offered
as collateral is going up. The growth in lending fuels demand,
so economic growth stays high as well. That reinforces the
government's reputation for competence, so the boom
continues."</font><br>

"Earth's thermal landscape is rapidly changing, and there is growing
recognition of associated changes in the geographical distribution,
phenology and behaviour of species (Parmesan et al. 1999; Hughes 2000;
Walther et al. 2002; Parmesan & Yohe 2003; Burrows et al. 2011).
Virtually all organisms have a physiological response to temperature,
and these responses have important consequences for higher levels of
ecological organization, such as populations, communities and
ecosystems (Kingsolver & Woods 1997; Brown et al. 2004; Helmuth,
Kingsolver & Carrington 2005; Angilletta 2009; Woodward et al.
2010; Dell, Pawar & Savage 2011; Buckley & Kingsolver 2012).
Thermal response curves describe how biological rates and times (e.g.
metabolic rate, growth, reproduction, mortality and activity) vary
with temperature (Huey & Stevenson 1979; Huey & Kingsolver
1989). These responses can vary systematically between life stages,
populations and species (Angilletta 2009; Dell, Pawar & Savage
2011; Kingsolver et al. 2011)."<br>
