(from the Tragedy of the Commons? special issue)

• To complement Science's "Tragedy of the Commons?" special issue, we've put together a special set of online resources, including Garrett Hardin's original 1968 article and some of the feedback it generated, other Science publications by Hardin, articles illustrating how the "commons" metaphor has informed other areas of scientific inquiry, and links to selected other Web sites that provide context for some of the themes of the special issue. Go to www.sciencemag.org/sciext/sotp/commons.shtml.



• Links to additional Web sites and articles related to environmental resources and their management can be found in the Web resources pages associated with the eight special Viewpoint articles in Science's "State of the Planet" series (14 November to 5 December issues). Follow the links below for Web resources on:
