THE REALITY AND THE RHETORIC examines the gap between the external
reporting of four Australian organisations and their internal
management practices and systems necessary to support comprehensive
and reliable disclosure. The book finds evidence of a significant
rift between the external rhetoric of sustainability and the
internal management processes and culture. However, the book also
finds that the rhetoric can be effective in driving real change
internally, as organisations seek to close the gap between the
reality and rhetoric of sustainability reporting.

"The Very Best!" Book Awards (Non-Fiction)A CBC New Brunswick Book
List SelectionAn Atlantic Books Today Must-Have New Brunswick Books
of 2020 SelectionThe Restigouche River flows through the remote
border region between the provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick,
its magically transparent waters, soaring forest hillsides, and
population of Atlantic salmon creating one of the most storied wild
spaces on the continent. In Restigouche, writer Philip Lee follows
ancient portage routes into the headwaters of the river, travelling
by canoe to explore the extraordinary history of the river and the
people of the valley. They include the Mi'gmaq, who have lived in
the Restigouche valley for thousands of years; the descendants of
French Acadian, Irish, and Scottish settlers; and some of the
wealthiest people in the world who for more than a century have
used the river as an exclusive wilderness retreat.The people of the
Restigouche have long been both divided and united by a remarkable
river that each day continues to assert itself, despite local and
global industrial forces that now threaten its natural systems and
the survival of the salmon. In the deep pools and rushing waters of
the Restigouche, in this place apart in a rapidly changing natural
world, Lee finds a story of hope about how to safeguard wild spaces
and why doing so is the most urgent question of our time.
