Matthew
J. Hoffmann. Climate governance at the crossroads : experimenting with a
global response after Kyoto. Oxford University Press, c2011. GE170.H64
2011 Conventional strategies of addressing climate change
through universal, interstate negotiations have been stymied by the gaps that
exist between the negotiating powers of states, rendering such initiatives
stagnant and ineffectual. In response, a number of new actors and
processes have begun to challenge the traditionally exclusive authority of
nation-states to create rules and manage environmental problems via
multi-national treaties. This book explains how and why these new governance
experiments have emerged, drawing upon a database of such initiatives to
ascertain how these initiatives fit together and how they influence what is
defined as environmental governance. |

David
L. Hudson Jr. Let the students speak! : a history of the fight for free
expression in American schools. Beacon Press, c2011. KF4772.H83
2011 This book details the rich history and growth of the First Amendment in public schools, from the early nineteenth-century's failed student free-expression claims to the development of protection for students by the U.S. Supreme Court. The author brings this history vividly alive by drawing from interviews with key student litigants in famous cases. He also discusses the raging free-speech controversies in public schools today, including dress codes and uniforms, cyberbullying, and the regulation of any violent-themed expression in a post-Columbine and Virginia Tech environment. |
