Environmental Problem Solving
No full textHuman influences create both environmental problems and barriers to effective policy aimed at addressing those problems. In effect, environmental managers manage people as much as they manage the environment. Therefore, they must gain an understanding of the psychological and sociopolitical dimensions of environmental problems that they are attempting to resolve. In Environmental Problem Solving, Alan Miller reappraises conventional analyses of environmental problems using lessons from the psychosocial disciplines. He combines the disciplines of ecology, political sociology and psychology to produce a more adaptive approach to problem-solving that is specifically geared toward the environmetal field. Numerous case studies demonstrate the practical application of theory in a way that is useful to technical and scientific professionals as well as to policy makers and planners. Alan Miller is Professor of Psychology at the University of New Brunswic

The clouds are surrounded by soft sunshine in a windless sky.
Every footstep rustles as I walk through a light shower of reds,
oranges, and yellows. This old path hasn't changed a bit.
Everything is still in Its place; even the cairn I erected for a
puppy long before I knew what a cairn was.
The water level of the pond is way down, not unusual for this
time of year, and skeletons of trees are beginning to appear
along the shore. The ducks are all gone now and it's a little
lonely; the only life I've seen is the V-shaped formations in the
sky and a muskrat breaking the glass-like water.
A strong feeling of sadnessand longing is in the air, as though
some end is near. Feelings of death, unlike those in the normal
senseof the word, can also be felt. It's the feeling an old man
must ·know. He doesn't cry or sorrow at death; he knows death
must precede rebirth.
I'm still walking and already the sun is preparing to set. The
western sky is fully arrayed in subtle hues for his grand depart-ure.
Soon all will be over; the day will have ended.
A day like today cleanses the soul and saddensthe heart. Such
are the days of autumn.
Alan Miller

Discussion of Alan Miller, \u27Cleaning the Air while Filling Corporate Coffers:
No full textAlan Miller\u27s paper is interesting and fits very well with the tide and theme of this Conference-learning from our past mistakes in order to produce an improved air pollution control law for the 1990s. Miller diagnoses the problems with our recent formulation and implementation of environmental policy. and he prescribes a cure for those ills in the form of a different policy direction for the future

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
