This week's Website of the Week is After Now (www.afternow.co.uk) - is a project from the University of Glasgow exploring what's next for the health of society.

If you would like to nominate a national, regional or local site with an environmental flavour please contact info@yhref.org.uk.

Western civilisation has conquered great health perils in the past. But the peculiarly modern malaise seems resistant to treatment. Obesity, depression, addiction, loss of wellbeing – these are issues which sap the resources and spirit of modern practitioners.

The AfterNow Project seeks to trace the development of our current situation. In six 5-minute introductory videos – backed up by a dozen 10-minute audio podcasts and over 30 short papers – we unpack the ideas which shape and limit contemporary responses... and look to a brave new future for public health.

Well-being and the Environment

This article is part of a body of our writings which have drawn on both the new science of well-being and the sharp critique of modernity provided by social theorists. The problem is that these provide very different insights into human social, cultural and psychological life which are perhaps hard to reconcile. It is at this point that we need to believe that the terms of the debate require broadening still further.
