The revitalizing and restoration of rivers, creeks and streams is a
major focus of urban conservation activity throughout North America
and Europe. This book presents models and examples for organizing
multiple stakeholders for purposes of waterway revitalization-if
not restoration-within a context of fairness and environmental
justice. After decades of neglect and misuse the challenge of
cleaning up urban rivers and streams is shown to be complex and
truly daunting. Urban river cleanup typically involves multiple
agendas and stakeholders, as well as complicated technical issues.
It is also often the situation that the most affected have the
least voice in what happens. The authors present social process
models for maximum inclusion of various stakeholders in
decision-making for urban waterway regeneration. A range of
examples is presented, drawn principally from North America and
Europe.

Throughout the centuries there have been Amazing American Women;
women who rose on their strength of character, who overcame
incredible obstacles to become outstanding in their own right.
Women have created works of art and literature, founded businesses,
fought in wars, led political and social movements, taught and
inspired students, initiated social reforms and made discoveries in
the sciences. Through their achievements they have become
inspirations to generations of other women.
Daughters of Destiny presents dramatic monologues of four of these
amazing women, four who forged the way for others to follow.
Performing these 'living biographies', the actress takes her
audience on each woman's journey to become memorable and remarkable
people in their own right.. With stories and anecdotes from
childhood through adult life, each woman speaks of the trials and
tribulations that led to fame and recognition. Martha Washington
withstood many personal tragedies to persevere and serve as a
welcomed aid to the army during the Revolutionary War. Mary Todd
Lincoln tolerated rumor and gossip to forward the career of the man
she believed was destined for greatness. Sojourner Truth, a
northern slave, overcame unspeakable hardships to rise as a
prominent speaker for civil rights and Nellie Bly, through sheer
determination and courage, became America's first famous female
newspaper reporter. These women possessed a determined spirit that
will inspire all who hear their stories.
Daughters of Destiny offers an opportunity to today's actress to
perform dramatic monologues of real-life unforgettable women and to
personify our past in an exciting entertaining format. These
monologues can be used for performance in acting classes and as
audition pieces. They can also be presented to young and adult
audiences alike, creating an absorbing theatrical experience. Stage
settings and props can be kept to a minimum thus making Daughters
of Destiny easy to produce for any audience. The power of these
dramatic monologues lies in the convincing true-to-life portrayals
of each Amazing American Woman.
