This book was released on 2018-03-30 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A National Forestry Research Program The colleges and universities have gradually strengthened their for estry research programs in recent years, particularly the institutions with agricultural experiment stations and forestry schools. This re search is supported mostly by State and other non-federal funds. Some Federal support to forestry research, however, is derived from Department of Agriculture grant funds made available to the States through cooperative programs administered through the Cooperative State Research Service. 13the Forest Service also provides cooperative financing of selected projects at universities to stimulate additional research on projects of joint interest. In the colleges and universities lie substantial Opportunities for future expanded forestry research. Their research potential has as yet barely been realized and they could and should be doing more. The national program recognizes the importance of institutional research. It proposes as a part of the Federal program a strengthening of cc operative research at the colleges and universities. The coordination of research has also been carefully considered as a necessary part of the national program. Coordination 1s achieved in a number of ways. The Department of Agriculture maintains a uniform project system under which all project proposals by research agencies of the Department are reviewed and coordinated. Tech nical advisory committees composed of university, industry, and F cd eral scientists meet regularly to discuss research plans and projects underway. Formally constituted regional research committees plan and do joint research on problems of interest to several States. Special panels of industry representatives are organized periodically to review and coordinate research in a special problem field such as seasoning of wood or glues and gluing: Other committees are fre quently formed to coordinate research on special problems such as pole blight disease research or brush control studies. This t pe of coordinating machinery has been effective m the past. It shou d con tinne as an essential part of future expanded programs of the indus tries, colleges and universities, and the Department of Agriculture.

Download or read book The Forest Ranger written by Herbert Kaufman and published by Resources for the Future. This book was released on 1967 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the rare book that remains in print for nearly fifty years, earning wide acclaim as a classic. The Forest Ranger has been essential reading for generations of professionals and scholars in forestry, public administration, and organizational behavior who are interested in the administration of public lands and how the top managers of a large, dispersed organization with multiple objectives like the Forest Service shape the behavior of its field officers into a coherent, unified program. Published as a special reprint in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the U.S. Forest Service, The Forest Ranger is as relevant and timely today as when it was first issued in 1960. In addition to the original text, this special reprint of The Forest Ranger includes two new forewords and an afterword that highlight how much we have learned from Herbert Kaufman. The first foreword, by Harold K. (Pete) Steen, former president of the Forest History Society, considers the book's impact on the forestry community and explains its continued relevance in light of changes in the culture and mission of today's Forest Service. The second, by Richard P. Nathan, codirector of the Rockefeller Institute of Government, considers the book's contribution to our understanding of administrative and organizational behavior. The new afterword by author Herbert Kaufman describes how his landmark study came into being and offers a candid assessment of how his theories about the agency's operations and its future have held up over time. In 1960, the Forest Service had a well-deserved reputation for excellence, and The Forest Ranger was a seminal analysis of the hows and whys of its success. Kaufmanalso warned, however, that an organization so unified and well adapted to its environment would have difficulties navigating social change. He was right in his concerns: the environmental, civil rights, and women's movements have all presented challenges to the character and purpose of the Forest Service, ultimately changing the organization in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. Now, as then, The Forest Ranger is a striking and prescient case study of how a complex organization operates and evolves over time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is addressed to scientists, researchers, development specialists and policy makers who deal with natural resources and agriculture in the developing countries.

The book consists of three main parts. Part I (chapters 1-3) provides the definitional, historical, and theoretical background for NRMR impact assessment in the CGIAR. Part II (chapters 4-11) presents the methods and results of seven case studies on the impact of NRMR projects carried out in the CGIAR. Two summary chapters (12 and13) are presented in part III. The book has a subject index.
Download or read book Though All Things Differ written by Eva Wollenberg and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pluralism is a political belief that acknowledges individuals’ rights to pursue their interests, but requires society to resolve differences where they infringe upon each other. This guide shows how pluralism helps people to value social differences and provides clear principles and rules about how to coordinate those differences. The guide reviews pluralism’s origins, key elements and strengths and weaknesses. It examines how people think about differences, including the psychological obstacles that cause us to exclude or ignore others. Practices are examined with examples drawn from forest-related contexts: legal pluralism, multistakeholder processes and diversity in work teams. Questions are provided to help the reader assess and practice pluralism in their own settings. The guide concludes that understanding the political assumptions and principles of pluralism can enrich our understanding of current practices to develop fundamentally new approaches to forest decision-making.
Download or read book Gender and Forests written by Carol J. Pierce Colfer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This enlightening book brings together the work of gender and forestry specialists from various backgrounds and fields of research and action to analyse global gender conditions as related to forests. Using a variety of methods and approaches, they build on a spectrum of theoretical perspectives to bring depth and breadth to the relevant issues and address timely and under-studied themes. Focusing particularly on tropical forests, the book presents both local case studies and global comparative studies from Africa, Asia, and Latin America, as well as the US and Europe. The studies range from personal histories of elderly American women’s attitudes toward conservation, to a combined qualitative / quantitative international comparative study on REDD+, to a longitudinal examination of oil palm and gender roles over time in Kalimantan. Issues are examined across scales, from the household to the nation state and the global arena; and reach back to the past to inform present and future considerations. The collection will be of relevance to academics, researchers, policy makers and advocates with different levels of familiarity with gender issues in the field of forestry.
