The book delves into issues affecting an array of parks: the iconic western national parks like Yellowsto≠ the urban parks…
such as Golden Gate National Recreation Area; historic sites including the Statue of Liberty National Monument and Gettysburg National Military Park; and cultural areas like Mesa Verde National Park that are among America's over 400 national parks. Twenty-three essays from contributing authors with deep personal and professional connections to the national parks serve as expert guides to places in the park system where: much of the nation's biological and cultural diversity is represented;ideas such as freedom, civil rights, and conservation were conceived;vast wilderness offers solitude and reflection;storied landscapes preserve a sense of place;the balance between recreation and preservation is tested;research and learning engage the next generation;the dynamics of nature are being shaped by a changing climate; and innovations in technology, sustainability, and stewardship provide a sense of purpose and hope.By Darko Macan, Josip Novakovich, Ivan Vidić, Ružica Gašperov, Mima Simić, Robert Perisic, Pero Kvesić, Nada Gašić, Zoran Pilić, Andrea Žigić-Dolenec, Darko Milošić, Nora Verde, Ivan Sršen, Neven Ušumović. 2014
"A must-read book by Croatian authors available in English. A collection of crime stories set across Zagreb, each one by…
a different Croatian writer."--Time Out (Croatia)"Zagreb, Croatia--its culture and its touchstones--will be terra incognita for many U.S. readers...Notable is Nora Verde's 'She-Warrior,' in which a young woman's carefully planned anarchist activities are smacked down by a triple helping of reality."--Publishers Weekly"The stories shed light on a sickness that stirs within society's boundaries. Readers will easily glean that this sickness is not exclusive to Zagreb. Sršen reveals the ugly truth about human nature that burrows under the surface in war-torn countries."--Examiner.com"Zagreb's noirish underbelly comes from a new nation familiar with both war and war crimes.

Le développement international est un territoire contesté. À cause de l’aggravation des écarts entre le Nord et le Sud, de…
l’accroissement de la pauvreté mondiale et de l’urgence écologique, de nouveaux défis sociétaux émergent, s’accumulent et conduisent à des besoins criants qu’une aide internationale parvient de moins en moins à combler. Malgré ces tensions, des communautés du Nord et du Sud tentent de reprendre les choses en main et de réinventer le développement autour de principes clés : le respect de la diversité humaine ; le droit de vivre dignement ; le lien organique qui lie les êtres humains ; la vie non humaine ; la nature ; et l’importance de la participation ainsi qu’une démocratie qui dépasse les limites étroites dans lesquelles elle est présentement confinée. Cette édition nouvelle et actualisée regroupe des chercheurs de contextes divers, à travers le monde, qui s’unissent pour comprendre non seulement le « pourquoi » de cette situation critique, mais aussi le « comment », qui permettrait de remettre le monde, et le développement, à l’endroit. Ce livre est publié en français. - International development is a contested territory. As emergencies grow in number and scale, international aid is increasingly unable to respond to the desperate need arising from them. In spite of the objectives established by the United Nations in 2000, global poverty persists, and worse still, the gap between “North” and “South” is widening nearly everywhere. Meanwhile, the challenges posed by climate change have been turning everything upside down over the past century. Despite these tremendous strains, communities in the North and South are beginning to take matters into their own hands. They are reinventing development around key principles, such as respect for human diversity; the right to live with dignity; the organic bond between humans; non-human life; nature; the importance of participation; and a democracy that reaches beyond the narrow boundaries that currently confine it. This book brings together perspectives from diverse backgrounds to reflect on the “why” and the “how” of this critical situation. Contributors from around the world present initiatives and hypotheses aimed at restoring the world—and development—to the right side up. This book is published in French.
