A majority of the documents are preparatory documents for the book "Defending Wild Washington." This is the Program History of Protecting Washington Wildness, taught by Ted Whitesell and Oscar Soule from 2002 to 2004. The program consisted of a group of students researching wilderness conservation in Washington state with the objective of ultimately publishing a book titled "Defending Wild Washington," which was published by Mountaineer Books in 2004. Program materials contained in the program history from 2003-2004 consist mostly of drafts and manuscripts, publisher information, grant application information, business cards and contact info, interviews, and maps of Washington state. The contents of the program history spanning 2002-2003 mostly consist of research documents, newsletters and newspapers, newspaper clippings, guidebooks, informational pamphlets, and magazines. Photos of interview subjects, figures in the Washington state conservation movement, and natural wildlife and landscapes are included as well. The folder contents also include Ted Whitesell's emails and correspondence, as well as detailed notes pertaining to specific chapters of the book, sources, questions, and TESC Server conversations between students. The book jacket description of "Defending Wild Washington" states: "Beyond giving money or answering "action alert" campaigns to write your local congressperson, how can you, as a citizen, work directly to help protect the wild places you know and love? Defending Wild Washington documents how great accomplishments have been achieved by persons of modest means and often with no special past experience. It tells how, working together, individuals can change the laws and rules governing wild lands in this state. Editor Edward A. Whitesell, Environmental Studies Faculty Member at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, led a team of students who researched and wrote this book over an academic year. Their goal is to educate and inspire citizen activists of the future. Defending Wild Washington was made possible with the generous support of The Evergreen State College, The Mountaineers Foundation, Patagonia, Inc., Friends of The Evergreen State College Library, and individual contributions from Frederick Goldberg and Oscar Soule. Photographs were donated by Art Wolfe Photography and the Ira Spring Family Foundation. A special thank you to the Pacific Northwest Trails Association, our fiscal sponsor for this project, and to Leslie Savage of Entercom."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walking the Big Wild is the story of Karsten Heuer's extraordinary 18-month journey of hiking, skiing, and paddling across 2100 miles of mountains, forests, and rivers from Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming to the Canadian Yukon. Accompanied by occasional human companions and a remarkable border collie named Webster, Heuer encountered immense challenges: storms, avalanches, floods, and grizzlies. At the end of the journey, Heuer proved that there is nearly continuous wilderness that can support wildlife along the length of the Rockies-and is salvageable if the right decisions are made now. Karsten Heuer has worked as a wildlife biologist and park warden in Banff National Park in the Rockies, in Inuvik in Canada's far north, and in the Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa.

Download or read book White Fragility written by Dr. Robin DiAngelo and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.

Download or read book Culture and Conservation written by Eleanor Shoreman-Ouimet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, there is growing interest in conservation and anthropologists have an important role to play in helping conservation succeed for the sake of humanity and for the sake of other species. Equally important, however, is the fact that we, as the species that causes extinctions, have a moral responsibility to those whose evolutionary unfolding and very future we threaten. This volume is an examination of the relationship between conservation and the social sciences, particularly anthropology. It calls for increased collaboration between anthropologists, conservationists and environmental scientists, and advocates for a shift towards an environmentally focused perspective that embraces not only cultural values and human rights, but also the intrinsic value and rights to life of nonhuman species. This book demonstrates that cultural and biological diversity are intimately interlinked, and equally threatened by the industrialism that endangers the planet's life-giving processes. The consideration of ecological data, as well as an expansion of ethics that embraces more than one species, is essential to a well-rounded understanding of the connections between human behavior and environmental wellbeing. This book gives students and researchers in anthropology, conservation, environmental ethics and across the social sciences an invaluable insight into how innovative and intensive new interdisciplinary approaches, questions, ethics and subject pools can close the gap between culture and conservation.
