Editor's Choice IN THIS WEEK'S NEW STATESMAN: the drowned world In this week's New Statesman, we look at what the catastrophe in Japan means for that country and for the world. Climate change expert Mark Lynas warns that catastrophic global warming will result if the world abandons nuclear power, and former trader Alex Preston assesses the economic repercussions of the earthquake. Elsewhere, Susanna Jones, author of The Earthquake Bird, looks at the profound influence that Japan's volatile geology has had on its culture and national psyche. Also this week, Mehdi Hasan asks what impact the first major anti-cuts demonstration will have, the former Lord Chancellor, Charles Falconer, explains why Ed Miliband's supporters should reject the Alternative Vote, and Helen Lewis-Hasteley talks to Frank Skinner about comedy and faith. Also don't miss James Harkin on why the national census shouldn't define us, Mark Leonard on the new world disorder and Laurie Penny on the porn industry.
