Environmental Politics and the Creation of a Dream
Author: Harold C. Jordahl
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 0299281930
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
The Apostle Islands National Lakeshore is a breathtakingly beautiful archipelago of twenty-two islands in Lake Superior, just off the tip of northern Wisconsin. For years, the national park has been a favorite destination for tourists and locals alike, but the remarkable story behind its creation is little known. In Environmental Politics and the Creation of a Dream, Harold Jordahl, one of the primary advocates for designating the islands as a national park, discloses the full story behind the effort to preserve their natural beauty for posterity. He describes in detail the political and bureaucratic complexities of the national lakeshore campaign, augmented by his own personal recollections and those of such prominent figures as Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson and President John F. Kennedy. Writing in collaboration with Annie Booth, Jordahl recounts how activists, legislators, media, local residents, and other players shaped the islands’ future establishment as a national park.

ISBN: 1493142062
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 109
Book Description
WHY HUMAN LIFE IS ULTIMATELY A DREAM is a book that is born not out of mere imaginations and figments of thought but of a powerful dream inspiration which the author took cognizance of its value for clarifying thought on the mystery of life and death. The book responds to many powers that have eluded the attempt of philosophers to give satisfactory answers to, such as posers on the meaning of life, the reality of death, the actuality of life-after-death, the ultimate fulfillment of the destiny of the human person, the nature of the human person, the relationship of the human reality to the ultimate reality, and the veritable relationship between humanity and divinity in the various phases of human experiences on earth, especially with the experience of evil in the world. The language of the book is simple for the understanding of all and sundry except in special cases for the uneducated that may require another version of this book. This book will serve the good purpose of enlightenment to anyone who peruses it with enthusiasm and an unbiased mindset. So the author recommends it for all and sundry as it is sensitive to all currents of beliefs and thought without religious bias. It is a book for you to understand and appreciate your life, personage, activities, hopes and aspirations as human being created in Gods image and likeness. The authors own life-experience provides a platform for situating the new portrait of life and death which the author paints with this work in various contexts of human experiences whether good or bad. So this work is a life companion for all and sundry and is anticipated to stand the test of time.

Keepers of the American Dream
Author: Christine E. Sleeter
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136510176
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
This book reports an ethnographic study of thirty teachers from eighteen schools who participated in a staff development programme in multicultural education. The study examines how multicultural education was actually presented to teachers, and areas in which their classroom teaching and perception of students changed over the two-year period. Although most of the teachers reported learning a good deal, changes in their teaching and their discussions of teaching were fairly limited. After reporting the data, the book examines why changes were limited, analyzing three areas: the nature of staff development and how multicultural education was packaged; the structure of schools as institutions; and the identities and life experiences of teachers as White women, often from working class backgrounds.
