Shrub encroachment and stakeholder perceptions of rangeland ecosystem services
Although the impacts of shrub encroachment on the ecosystem processes have been well-documented, little is known about the extent to which socio-cultural values and perceptions might influence actions undertaken to manage shrub proliferation. Understanding stakeholder values is important because the ecosystem’s capacity to supply a given service or suite of services must be balanced against the value society places on them. Research to date has e…
It is Better if You Come with Me
We conduct an exploratory study about study abroad programs in business schools. In a small sample, we find satisfaction with the study abroad experience is positively related to participants’ reported willingness to accept jobs that require international travel and jobs that require international work collaboration. Additionally, students who developed relationships during their study abroad were more likely to evaluate the experience positively…

Norm Diffusion and HIV/Aids Governance in Putin's Russia and Mbeki's South Africa
Although adopting global norms often improves domestic systems of governance, domestic obstacles to norm diffusion are frequent. States that decide to reinvent their political authority simultaneously evaluate which current global norms are desirable and to what extent. In this study, Vlad Kravtsov argues that recent debates about the nature of authority in Putin's Russia and Mbeki's South Africa have resulted in a set of unique ideas on the card…
Talking facilitates cognitive–emotional processes of adaptation to an acute stressor
John LaFarge and the Limits of Catholic Interracialism, 1911-1963
Before Vatican II, before the race riots of the 1940s, the white Jesuit priest John Lafarge decried America's treatment of blacks. In the first scholarly biography of Lafarge, David W. Southern paints a portrait of a man ahead of his church on the race issue who nevertheless did not press hard enough in ridding it of an institutional bias against African-Americans. Southern follows Lafarge from his birth into the Social Register in Newport, Rhode…

Guinea-Bissau
Guinea-Bissau, formerly Portuguese Guinea, is one of the smallest and poorest countries in Africa. Little is known about the natural history of the country. Once covered by a mosaic of lowland forest and woodland, the original vegetation has now largely been cleared and secondary grasslands and savannas dominate most of the land. The main factors that contributed to the destruction of the vegetation were the growing of groundnuts during the colon…
The Gambia and Senegal
The Gambia is a tiny semi-enclave within the much larger country of Senegal on the west coast of Africa. In both countries very little closed forest remains and that which does still exist is rapidly being lost or modified through a combination of increased population, bushfires, desertification, uncontrolled grazing and extensive forest exploitation. The landscape is dominated by open savanna, with small islands of relict closed forests in the m…
