A critical appraisal of why environmental policies fail and succeed, Environmental Policymaking and Stakeholder Collaboration provides policy makers with the keys to navigating complicated environmental issues and stakeholder negotiations. It covers theories in environmental policy making and stakeholder management, compares and contrasts failed and successful process and policy, and includes practical guidelines and tools for the practitioner. More than just a theoretical examination, the book presents an extensive tool kit of more than 70 practical and applied ideas to guide the implementation of inclusive stakeholder collaboration. These ideas can be used by governments and organizations to improve decision making and ensure that stakeholders and the general public have a say in public policy. The book covers theories of stakeholder collaboration, building an understanding of why stakeholder collaboration is simultaneously critical for effective policy making and why it is so challenging. While the focus of this book is on environmental policymaking, the theories and tools can be applied to any issue. Government cannot be expected to solve our public problems in isolation: we must ensure that diverse interests are heard and represented in the policymaking process. This book is more than just a theoretical treatise about stakeholder collaboration; it is also a collection of applied and practical tools to ensure that collaboration is put into practice in ways that are effective and meaningful. It helps people with a passion for the environment understand how to get their voices heard and helps governments understand how to listen.

The feeding of human milk to socially and biologically unrelated infants is not a new phenomenon, but the Euroamerican values of individualism have generated expectations that mothers are individually responsible for feeding their own infants. Using a bio-communities of practice framework, this dynamic new analysis explores the emotional and material dimensions of the growing milk sharing practice in the Global North and its implications for contemporary understandings of infant feeding in the US. Ranging widely across themes of motherhood, gender and sociology, this is a compelling empirical account of infant feeding that stimulates new thinking about a contentious practice.
Rewilding Motherhood – Your Path to an Empowered Feminine Spirituality

Women are often told by their communities that being a mother will complete or define them. But many mothers find themselves depleted and spiritually stagnant amid the everyday demands of being a mom. They long to experience a rich inner life but feel there is rarely enough time, energy, or stillness to connect with God in a meaningful way.This book takes the concept of rewilding and applies it to motherhood. Just as an environmentalist seeks to rewild land by returning it to its natural state, Shannon Evans invites women to rewild motherhood by reclaiming its essence through an expansive feminine spirituality.Drawn from the contemplative Catholic tradition and Evans's own parenting experience, Rewilding Motherhood helps women deepen their connection to God through practices inherent to the life they're living now. Topics include work-life balance, identity, solitude, patience, household work, and mission for the common good. Throughout, Evans encourages women to see motherhood as an opportunity to discover a vibrant feminine spirituality and a deeper knowledge of God and self.

"If only I could step through / the canvas," writes Shannon K. Winston in this dazzling collection, and in these poems, she does exactly that; she inhabits the works of art that her poems examine, not to describe those works back to us, but to show us something strange and unknowable about ourselves. The Girl Who Talked to Paintings is a gorgeous book with a brilliant ekphrastic heart-tender, luminous, and unforgettable."Matthew Olzmann
There's always a reason that some humans become monsters. Are some people born monsters? Or are they a product of their environment? Is it a family sub-culture? Perhaps all of that. It is estimated that between 2,000 and 4,000 women will die each year from abuse. It reported that 22-35% of women who visit emergency rooms are there for injuries related to ongoing domestic abuse. The typical male batterer objectifies women. He does not see women as people. He doesn't respect a woman. He sees women as property or a sexual object. In 1969, when Iris and her friend Jeannie Phillips were in high school, Jeannie's boyfriend, Glen Walker, was drafted during the height of the Vietnam War. With the cautious blessing of their parents, the teens married before he left for Vietnam in the fall of 1970. Almost a year later, he perished with his air crew in sabotage. Jeannie was devastated and became mentally lost, mentally stranded. Jeannie began to move on with her life through multiple therapy sessions and a move to a new environment. She met Danny Richardson in 1976 while she was in college. Their relationship blossomed into love. Jeannie and Danny planned to move back to Chicago after graduating to teach high school. Jeannie called Iris to tell her the news. Iris was thrilled to hear that her friend from so long ago was returning with her new love. Iris, Rose, and Lily planned a welcome-home celebration for Jeannie and Danny. He doted on Jeannie. He never left her side. He answered her phone calls, and he made sure to hold her hand or have his arm around her. In his mind, these gestures were his way of showing her he loves her. Iris noticed something that wasn't quite right, a warning sign of the future.
