Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What do fishing with an otter, sitting atop a mountain at dawn with eighty Taiwanese backpackers, and driving home from Aldo Leopold's Shack have to say about the evolution of a personal environmental philosophy Essays to My Daughter on Our Relationship With the Natural World provides a series of reflections by an environmental educator about lessons learned from time spent in nature. Originally conceived as personal letters to the author's daughter, this collection presents ethical questions outdoor enthusiasts regularly face as they work and play in the natural world. The essays in this book explore environmentalism in a modern-day context, with topics including sustainability education, the current relevance of environmental writers from the past, and the uncertainty of what is meant by words like 'naturalist,' 'solitude,' and 'wilderness.' There is no attempt to direct readers to any particular environmental philosophy. Instead, Simpson encourages readers to articulate their own perspective based on personal experiences in nature. Though Essays to My Daughter is written by a father to his daughter, the insights within the volume-and the questions they provoke-are valuable to all members of the next generation as they grapple with their own relationship to the natural world.…

Zustand: Gut. 212 Seiten / p. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar / a good and clean copy - First of all, if we reflect upon the nature ol the Florentine Secretarys literary production, we become aware of the importance of re-writing throughout every phase of his activity. Prior even to this, however, we must take into account the polysemous character of the term re-writing. Re-writing can refer to the situation in which an individual re-makes a work already made by others before him. In Machiavellis case, we can immediately avail ourselves of several well-known examples, i.e., The Discourses, Clizia, and Andria: obvious re-writings ( the first, a commentary; the second, an imitation; the third, a translation ) of the works of Livy, Plautus, and Terence. -- Re-writing is also a process by which a writer reviews, re-thinks, and revises himself. Should we consider just one example, the recounting of the events leading up to and including the murder of Vitellozzo Vitelli ( along with Oliverotto da Fermo, Paolo and il Duca di Gravina Orsini ) , we find at least four versions penned by Machiavelli ( the version taken from the Legation to Duke Valentino in Romagna; the Description of the Method Used by Duke Valentino in Killing Vitellozzo Vitelli, Oliverotto da Fermo, and Others; the version that appears in The Decennali; and the one appearing in the seventh and eighth chapters of The Prince ) , a fact that in turn suggests Machiavellis active involvement in this aspect of re-writing as well. -- Furthermore, beyond the physical evidence of the large body of re-writings left to us by Machiavelli lies the question of attitude. Machiavellis appropriateness in this study is largely due to his ideas on cyclicity and on newness, a seemingly unlike pair, though appearances may be misleading. One of the tenets of Machiavellian thought is that history, much like nature, is a cyclical phenomenon, composed of alternating periods of evolution and involution. He phrases it this way in the Discourses: essendo le cose umane sempre in moto, o le salgano, o le scendano ( Discorsi, Tutte le opere 145 ) ( since human affairs are always in motion, either they rise or they fall [ Discourses, Chief Works 1:322 ] ) . This perspective towards the unfolding of human events, a dynamic process, is revolutionary not only for what it produces in terms of political science, but moreover for its significance regarding the realm of experience and its interpretation. Machiavellis eye looks to the past and to the future, as he foretells what will happen based on what has already happened. At the same time, his eye gazes at the present, at the threshold of experience, and knows that whatever is happening, is not, cannot be happening for the first lime, though it be new nonetheless. A path not yet trodden by anyone: these are Machiavellis opening words to the Discourses, his re-writing of Livy. His own keen sense of newness is part and parcel of his cyclical Weltanschauung, for it is newness that signals the start of the evolutionary phase of any cycle, and it is his own sense of newness that will foretell the newness others will bring in the future. -- The choice of Machiavelli is an objectively justifiable one as much as a reflection of my own personal interests. There is no one right choice for a study such as this, no origin in an absolute sense. Thus, I choose to begin upon this swerving path at the intersection marked Niccold Machiavelli for reasons both explicit and implicit: because of the relevance of his works to this study, and also because of my own sense of newness, a newness that is both destructive and creative, that scrapes clean and adds to the palimpsest that is present here before me.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Before they were destroyed, Beaver Lake was the largest lake in Indiana, and the Kankakee Marsh was nearly half a million acres of wetland. This was one of the major inland marshes in the country before landowners drained it for farmland. Changing Landscapes of Northwest Indiana examines the massive ecological devastation caused by the destruction of Beaver Lake, the channelization of the Kankakee River, and the draining of the Kankakee Marsh. The book traces early efforts to drain the marsh, leading to the successful completion of the project in the twentieth century, and covers the problems that still exist today. The consequences were immense and extended beyond the struggle by conservationists to restore or preserve portions of the marsh. The loss of the marsh fostered a century of flooding in the Kankakee Valley and caused decades of conflict with Illinois, which shares the Kankakee River with Indiana. To this day there are ongoing attempts to manage flooding on the river, and residents of Illinois continue to claim that channelization caused severe environmental problems in their state. Serious and lasting environmental problems have proved intractable. The citizens of Indianaand their governmentmade profound and irreversible choices about managing a vast wetland and a river within the state's borders. The story of the conversion of the Kankakee Marsh to farmland is an object lesson in the manifold problems that arise from the imperatives of unrestrained environmental exploitation.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A must-read for higher education leaders committed to equity, Ivory Towers Have Glass Ceilings examines faculty members' experiences in promotion to full professorship. This volume discusses how structures, practices, processes, and policies pertaining to promotion from associate professor to full professor both presume and reproduce racialized and gendered inequity. Women's teaching and service loads are often quantitatively and qualitatively different from white and some Asian men's experiences, which only serves to reinforce the status quo. This also extends beyond teaching and service to the types of intellectual contributions that are considered important, which often excludes the hands-on, engaged work that underrepresented faculty are more likely to perform. Contributors point out the unwritten rules that serve as hidden hurdles for promotion for women and underrepresented minorities. Additionally, what counts as professionalism is typically in favor of white, cisgender men. Inequities in assessment and value of scholarly output impact the promotion of gender diversity and underrepresented faculty. This book asks what can be done at the institutional level by analyzing the policies, interactions, and everyday practices in the promotion process. Lessons can be learned from forward-looking institutions that have adopted policies to recognize and reward the broader contributions that women and gender diverse faculty make to academia. Any leader hoping to employ a truly representative faculty will want to consider which practices could work in their institutional context and culture.…
