The Daily Globe: Environmental Change, the Public and the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Smith, Joe / Joe Smith, PUBLISHER: Routledge, Some of the greatest challenges facing humanity, such as climate change and biodiversity loss, have enormous implications for economic, social and environmental security. Yet the significance of these issues is not reflected in media reporting. A few visually strong stories of conflicts, or threats to charismatic species or beautiful places, such as those of the Brent Spar or the Exxon Valdez, make the headlines. However, the media's appetite for novelty, personality and drama stands in the way of effective reporting of slowly unfolding stories that are fraught with uncertainty. Clearly, journalists and reporters face difficulty in portraying the complex interplay between science, policy and values that underlies many of these issues. But, equally, there is reluctance on the part of the academic and policy communities to adapt themselves to the needs and methods of the media. The Daily Globe represents the state of knowledge about media treatment and public understanding of key environmental issues around the world, incorporating a wealth of expertise and insight from distinguished journalists, politicians, researchers and environmentalists. The book offers practical examples of successful new forms of collaboration and communication and lays the foundation for effective future strategies aimed at informing public debate on the choices and challenges presented by global environmental change.

Ten Little Indians

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Alexie, Sherman, PUBLISHER: Grove Press, Sherman Alexie is one of our most acclaimed and popular writers today. With Ten Little Indians, he offers nine poignant and emotionally resonant new stories about Native Americans who, like all Americans, find themselves at personal and cultural crossroads, faced with heartrending, tragic, sometimes wondrous moments of being that test their loyalties, their capacities, and their notions of who they are and who they love. In Alexie's first story, "The Search Engine," Corliss is a rugged and resourceful student who finds in books the magic she was denied while growing up poor. In "The Life and Times of Estelle Walks Above," an intellectual feminist Spokane Indian woman saves the lives of dozens of white women all around her to the bewilderment of her only child. "What You Pawn I Will Redeem" starts off with a homeless man recognizing in a pawnshop window the fancy-dance regalia that were stolen fifty years earlier from his late grandmother. Even as they often make us laugh, Alexie's stories are driven by a haunting lyricism and naked candor that cut to the heart of the human experience, shedding brilliant light on what happens when we grow into and out of each other.
