Such change has impacted on the way governments structure their organisations, deliver services and relate to their citizenry. But how has public policy formulation changed and affected the design and delivery of government programs and services in Australia? Policy in Action is the first book to address this question, offering descriptive accounts of how public services programs are designed and implemented and how they might be better managed.Policy sciencesPublic administrationElectronic books.Policy sciences.Public administration.320.6Wanna John282039Freyens Benoit998851Butcher John601648MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910139355303321Policy in action2291402UNINA03802nam 2200469 450 991079576440332120231219192502.01-61249-785-3(CKB)5600000000484892(OCoLC)1340946226(MdBmJHUP)musev2_100008(MiAaPQ)EBC6906500(Au-PeEL)EBL6906500(OCoLC)1373985297(EXLCZ)99560000000048489220230408d2022 uy 0engur|||||||nn|ntxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEssays to my daughter on our relationship with the natural world /Steven SimpsonWest Lafayette, Indiana :Purdue University Press,[2022]©20221 online resource1 online resource1-61249-783-7 Includes bibliographical references.Cover -- ESSAYS TO MY DAUGHTER -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Contents -- Preface -- Introduction: Personal Philosophy and Individual Experiences -- Part I: The Pond and the Shack -- 1 The Good Oak Redux -- 2 Drowning Out All Our Muskrats -- 3 Wild Apples -- 4 Still Fishing -- 5 A Person's Leisure Time -- 6 Book Purge -- Part II: Sketches Here and There -- 7 Wisconsin East: A Small Square of Red -- 8 California With a Touch of Maine: Tide Pools East and West -- 9 Minnesota: Night of the Quintze -- 10 Iowa: The Birds of Iowa -- 11 Taiwan: Ascent of Jade Mountain -- 12 A Return to Taiwan: Old and American -- 13 Ontario: Goodbye, Deadbroke Island -- 14 Wisconsin West: Mark Twain on the Mekong -- 15 Wisconsin West: What About the Other Kids? -- 16 Three Outsdoorsmen and a Philosopher -- Part III: Continuums -- 17 The Preservationist and the Conservationist -- 18 The Wanderer and the Adventurer -- 19 The Homecomer and the Sojourner -- 20 The Romantic and the Scientist -- 21 The Restorer -- Epilogue -- Acknowledgments -- Notes -- About the Author."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"--Provided by publisher.EnvironmentalismNatureEffect of human beings onEnvironmentalism.NatureEffect of human beings on.820.936Simpson Steven1954-1550099MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910795764403321Essays to my daughter on our relationship with the natural world3808688UNINA
