H-Environment Roundtable Reviews, Vol. 10, No. 5 (2020) 2 Introduction by Kara Murphy Schlichting, Queens College CUNY n North America, winter is on the horizon. In my home of New York City, winter can be blustery and cold. This city is a fair weather metropolis, seasonally I embracing outdoor life in warm weather only. The coming winter of 2020-21, with the ongoing need for social distancing and outdoor congregations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will likely force a reconsideration of the typical retreat indoors at the arrival of cold. From this vantage point of changing seasons and the need to rethink winter practices, Thomas Wickman’s Snowshoe Country: An Environmental and Cultural History of Winter in the Early American Northeast is an reminder that the interiority of a New York winter is a construct of this community and era.

  • An Environmental Outreach Tool on Water Resource Issues for Costa Rica and Latin America (Under the Direction of CATHERINE PRINGLE)
    DOUGLAS CHRISTOPHER PARSONS The Development of the Water-for-Life Web Page: An Environmental Outreach Tool on Water Resource Issues for Costa Rica and Latin America (Under the Direction of CATHERINE PRINGLE) This thesis identifies the most useful and relevant Internet strategies used by freshwater conservation organizations. These strategies were used in the development of a web page that will be accessible to Latin America and environmental organizations based on the successful Water-for-Life Program in Costa Rica. A brief history of the Water-for-Life environmental outreach program in Costa Rica is described along with a summary of how a fellowship awarded to me from the Organization for Tropical Studies evolved to incorporate both environmental outreach and, ultimately, the creation of an environmental outreach web site. I also discuss the history of the Internet and how non- governmental organizations (NGOs) involved in freshwater conservation are exploiting Internet technology and how those Internet resources were utilized in the development of the Water-for-Life web site. Finally, I identify how freshwater NGOs are specifically using the Internet by analyzing the results of an e-mail survey.

  • 1 Quantifying the International Bilateral Movements of Migrants
    Quantifying the International Bilateral Movements of Migrants Christopher R. Parsons1, Ronald Skeldon2, Terrie L. Walmsley3 and L. Alan Winters 4 Abstract This paper presents five versions of an international bilateral migration stock database for 226 by 226 countries. The first four versions each consist of two matrices, the first containing migrants defined by country of birth i.e. the foreign born population, the second, by nationality i.e. the foreign population. Wherever possible, the information is collected from the latest round of censuses (generally 2000/01), though older data are included where this information was unavailable. The first version of the matrices contains as much data as could be collated at the time of writing but also contains gaps. The later versions progressively employ a variety of techniques to estimate the missing data. The final matrix, comprising only the foreign born, attempts to reconcile all of the available information to provide the researcher with a single and complete matrix of international bilateral migrant stocks. Although originally created to supplement the GMig model (Walmsley and Winters 2005) it is hoped that the data will be found useful in a wide range of applications both in economics and other disciplines. Key Words: Migration data, bilateral stock data, 1 Christopher Parsons is a Research fellow at the Development Research Centre on Migration, Globalisation and Poverty at Sussex University, Brighton, United Kingdom.

  • Dan-Brockington-Celebrity-And-The
    More praise for Celebrity and the Environment ‘More exposé than a tabloid. More weight than a broadsheet ... Brockington lends academic muscle to what, I suspect, many of us instinctively feel about these issues. Extensively researched yet winsomely written and, thankfully, not veering into cynicism which a book on this subject could easily do. Enlightening and easily accessible by the armchair environmentalist.’ Terry Clark, St Luke’s Church, Glossop ‘I was surprised by this book. Anything containing the mere word “celebrity” will normally see me heading for the hills at speed, let alone a whole book on the subject! Dan’s book is written with wit and grace. His research was clearly meticulous and the result is a book that is informative and enjoyable.’ Robin Barker, Countrycare Children’s Homes ‘In an analysis that builds on a large literature examining interlinkages between conservation and corporate interest, Dan Brockington turns a new corner, investigating how the rich and famous lend their glamour to the noble goal of saving the planet. In reality conservation is a highly political pursuit with winners and losers. Brockington provides a well- balanced account of the pros of harnessing the razzamatazz of celebrity to the conservation cause with the cons of sanitizing the harsh realities of conservation politics and the insidious danger of commoditizing nature. If you want to embark on the journey in to contemporary conservation you would go well with this book.’ Monique Borgerhoff Mulder and Tim Caro, University of California at Davis ‘A thoroughly stimulating book that made me question my role as a conservation filmmaker.’ Jeremy Bristow, director and writer About the author Dan Brockington has a PhD in anthro- pology from UCL and is happiest conducting long-term research in remote rural areas.
