Cramer provides a window into the world of radical
environmentalism and the political process. He examines how deep
ecology evolved, how its ideas influence our lives, and how it
impacts our laws.
The book begins with an overview of deep ecology and traces its
history in American political thought. Cramer then looks at the
tactics employed by radical environmentalists and the relationship
formed between activists and their political counterparts. He
explains the difference between what deep ecology ultimately wants
and what it strives for on a daily basis. Federal environmental
legislation and congressional testimony are analyzed for trends,
and media coverage of radical environmentalism is also examined.
Cramer provides the first comprehensive look at the impact of deep
ecology and radical environmentalism on American environmental
politics and law. This book will be invaluable to scholars and
researchers of contemporary American politics and law,
environmental studies, and the media.
Change in education is inevitable. Throughout their careers,
teachers will face a myriad of changes, both inside and outside of
the classroom. This valuable professional development resource
demonstrates how K-12 teachers can anticipate and respond to change
in creative, advantageous ways that can enhance their career
satisfaction and effectiveness as professionals. Emphasizing that
change is something teachers can understand, manage, become
invested in, and even champion, the authors provide practical
skills for facing and adjusting to change, whether it is mandated
or a personal choice. Offering a wealth of conceptual, reflective,
interpersonal, and strategic tools, this guide also includes: -
Reflections from a survey of 100 teachers who share their
experiences with change as well as advice and encouragement,
inviting educators to learn from each other - A five-step process
for initiating and implementing plans for change - Research-based
strategies for leading change, both in smaller and larger spheres
of influence - Vivid examples that can be directly applied to
personal experience Reflective exercises to assist teachers in
understanding and approaching change This accessible resource is
invaluable for both new and experienced teachers. Whether or not
change is voluntary, opportunities for professional growth are
abundant, leading to improved student learning and greater teacher
retention.
1m Juni 1971 hatte das Weizmann-Institut, die berlihmte intematio
nale Forschungsstatte des Landes Israel, zu einem Symposium unter
dem Titel "The Impact of Science on Society" nach Brlissel einge
laden. Wahrend zweier Tage versuchten Wissenschaftler die Situ
ation unserer heutigen, durch die Wissenschaft veriinderten Welt zu
analysieren. Man fragte sich, welchen Nutzen uns die Wissenschaft
gebracht habe und wohin sie uns fUhre. Stellt die Wissenschaft die
hochste Ausformung des menschlichen Geistes, die groBte Kultur
leistung dar? Wie weit geht die Verantwortung des Forschers fUr die
Resultate seiner Forschung? Welches ist die Rolle der Wissen schaft
in einer klinftigen Gesellschaft? In ihren Referaten gaben die
Forscher hochst individuelle und origi nelle Antworten zu diesem
Thema. Der vollstandige W ortlaut des Symposiums wurde 1973 von A.
R. MICHAELIS und H. HARVEY unter dem Titel "Scientists in Search of
their Conscience" beim Springer-Verlag Berlin - Heidelberg - New
York veroffentlicht. Die hiervorliegende deutsche Ausgabe habe
ichaus dieser Originalausgabe stark liberarbeitet und durch
einftihrende Zwischenkapitel erganzt. Dr. A. R. MICHAELIS, London,
Dr. JOSEF COHN und Frau RENATE V. BAMBERG, Europaisches Komitee des
Weizmann-Instituts, ZUrich, danke ich fUr die Zusammenarbeit und
Hilfe bei der Abfassung der deutschen Ausgabe. Dr. DIETER GAUSS,
Gottingen, und Dr. HARALD K. WIEBKING, Springer-Verlag Heidelberg,
bin ich fUr die redak tionelle Bearbeitung des Manuskripts
verbunden. Gottingen, im Sommer 1974 F. CRAMER Inhaltsverzeichnis
