Originally published by the U.S. Department of Transportation's
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Office of Natural
Environment to promote the planting and care of native plants along
highway rights-of-way, this unique handbook provides managers of
roadsides and adjacent lands with the information and background
they need to make site-specific decisions about what kinds of
native plants to use, and addresses basic techniques and
misconceptions about using native plants. It brings together in a
single volume a vast array of detailed information that has, until
now, been scattered and difficult to find. The book opens with
eighteen short essays on principles of ecological restoration and
management from leading experts in the field including Reed F.
Noss, J. Baird Callicott, Peggy Olwell, and Evelyn Howell.
Following that is the heart of the book, more than 500 pages of
comprehensive state-by-state listings that offer: - a colour map
for each state with natural vegetations zones clearly marked -
comprehensive lists of native plants, broken down by type of plant
(grasses, forbs, trees, etc.) and including both scientific and
common names, with each list having been verified for completeness
and accuracy by the state's natural heritage program - contact
names, addresses, and phone numbers for obtaining current
information on invasive and noxious species to be avoided -
resources for more information, including contact names and
addresses for local experts in each state - The appendix adds
definitions, bibliography, and policy citations to clarity any
debates about the purpose and the direction of the use of native
plants on roadsides. Roadside Use of Native Plants is a
one-of-a-kind reference whose utility extends far beyond the
roadside, offering a toolbox for a new aesthetic that can be
applied to all kinds of public and private land. It can help lead
the way to a cost-effective ecological approach to managing
human-designed landscapes, and is an essential book for anyone
interested in establishing or restoring native vegetation.
This book discusses equal opportunity for education in a global
context. Research findings from all over the world, including
Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and North America are presented.
Wilson and Erskine have compiled chapters addressing current gender

First Published in 1999. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
"Rainy River Lives" is the long-lost collection of stories of
Ojibwe men and women as told by a hitherto unpublished, traditional
Ojibwe storyteller, Maggie Wilson (1879-1940). Wilson lived on the
Manitou Rapids Reserve on the Rainy River, which flows along the
Ontario-Minnesota border. When anthropologist Ruth Landes arrived
at Rainy River to conduct her doctoral research in 1932, Wilson
often worked with the young scholar, telling her many stories.
Their relationship continued after Landes returned to Columbia
University. During the following decades, however, the letters and
stories Wilson had sent Landes, which Landes had carefully
collected, were lost. Only recently were they discovered in the
basement of the Smithsonian Institution, where they had been
misfiled with papers of another anthropologist.
This rich set of narratives takes us inside the intimate world of
Ojibwe families at the turn of the twentieth century, a time of
great upheaval when the Ojibwes were being relocated onto reserves
and required by the government to abandon their seasonal migrations
and subsistence activities. These remarkably detailed stories of
ordinary Native people, precisely through their everyday character,
reveal much about Ojibwe cultural beliefs and paint a nuanced
ethnographic portrait of Ojibwe life. In the distinctive voice of
an exceptional and highly creative individual, the stories address
both the culturally specific world of the Ojibwes and universal
human themes of love, loss, and perseverance.
Maggie Wilson was born in the highlands of Papua New Guinea to
Melka Amp Jara, a native of the highlands, and Patrick Leahy,
brother of Australian explorers Michael and Daniel Leahy. Wilson's
life serves as a window into the complex social and cultural
transformations experienced during the early years of the
Australian administration in Papua New Guinea and the first three
decades after independence. This ethnography-started as an
autobiography and completed by Rosita Henry after Wilson's death in
2009-tells Wilson's story and the stories of those whose lives she
touched. Their recollections of Wilson offer insights into life in
Papua New Guinea today.
