In the issues running from 14 November 2003 to 5 December 2003, Science offered a comprehensive look at the issues facing Planet Earth over the next 50 years, in a special four-week "State of the Planet" series. Included in the series were eight Viewpoint pieces on topics ranging from population to energy to fisheries to global change, with each article supplemented by a collection of related Web resources and articles.
On 12 December 2003, Science rounded out this coverage Earth's resources and their management with a special issue -- nine Review and Viewpoint articles that commemorated the anniversary of the 1968 publication of the late Garrett Hardin's classic essay, "The Tragedy of the Commons," and took a look at trends in the management of common resources in the 35 years since the essay's publication. Supplementing the special issue is a collection of online resources, including links to the original essay and some of the subsequent scientific discussion it engendered, as well as pointers to Web sites that provide additional context.
