However, how valid is this assumption? In The Roles of Public Opinion Research in Canadian Government, Christopher Page presents a major scholarly investigation into the uses and effectiveness of polls and focus groups." "The Role of Public Opinion Research in Canadian Government demonstrates that opinion research has a greater variety of roles than is often recognized, and that, despite conventional wisdom, its foremost impact is to help governments determine how to communicate with citizens. It is an essential contribution to the study of Canadian politics, filling a major gap in the scholarship."--Jacket. 410 0$aInstitute of Public Administration of Canada series in public management and governance. 606 $aPolitical planning$zCanada 606 $aPublic opinion$zCanada 606 $aFederal government$zCanada$xPublic opinion 607 $aCanada$xPolitics and government$y1980-$xPublic opinion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical planning 615 0$aPublic opinion 615 0$aFederal government$xPublic opinion. 676 $a320.60971 700 $aPage$b Christopher$f1963-$01499669 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780672803321 996 $aThe roles of public opinion research in Canadian government$93725892 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02663nam 2200577 450 001 9910797213903321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-8214-4513-8 035 $a(CKB)3710000000441130 035 $a(EBL)2080602 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001517212 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11909343 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001517212 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11504152 035 $a(PQKB)11370374 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC2080602 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL2080602 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11071738 035 $a(OCoLC)913214415 035 $a(PPN)256835632 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000441130 100 $a20150714h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe historical ecology of malaria in Ethiopia $edeposing the spirits /$fJames C.

James C. McCann tells the story of malaria in human, narrative terms and explains the history and ecology of the disease through the science of landscape change. All malaria is local. Instead of examining the disease at global or continental scale, McCann investigates malaria's adaptation and persistence in a single region, Ethiopia, over time and at several contrasting sites. Malaria has evolved along with humankind and has adapted to even modern-day technological 410 0$aOhio University Press series in ecology and history. 606 $aMalaria$zEthiopia$xHistory 606 $aMalaria$zEthiopia$xPrevention 615 0$aMalaria$xHistory. 615 0$aMalaria$xPrevention. 676 $a614.5320963 700 $aMcCann$b James$f1950-$0896977 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797213903321 996 $aThe historical ecology of malaria in Ethiopia$93850451 997 $aUNINA
