The Importance of Experience
The first part of this article considers the challenge of supporting pupils to write creatively about the natural world. It examines a text by a gifted young writer: Diary of a Young Naturalist by Dara McAnulty. It asks what the challenges might be for pupils who may be motivated to model their writing on McAnulty’s, but have limited experience of the natural world. Drawing on the scholarly work of John Dixon, Robert Eaglestone and others, the ar…
Culturally Imbued Trees
Australian Aboriginal song‐lines and Dreaming tracks follow the movement and interactions of ancestral beings and are marked by physical features associated with those ancestral beings at culturally significant places, often termed ‘sacred sites’. These locations can include living things like trees and other vegetation with culturally ascribed meanings. Not always visibly marked or intentionally altered, these plants comprise an integral part of…
Protected and conserved areas
In 2010, Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted Aichi Biodiversity Target 11, committing to conserve, by 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland waters and 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas through systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs). Once national data are updated it is expected that Parties will have met the coverage elements of Target 11, especially…
Revolutionary abandon
In Nicaragua, the political trajectory of the governing FSLN has been understood as a transition from underground revolutionary circle toward clientelistic political machine. This article traces the emergence of these two key images in political and scholarly discourse, and shows how they have come to inform everyday politics in a community of rural government supporters, who-within a defunct agrarian cooperative-struggle to participate in the go…

Status and Prospects for Achieving Aichi Biodiversity Target 11
This paper reviews the current status of Aichi Biodiversity Target 11 at the global level. Although there remain gaps in the coverage of ecological regions and areas important for biodiversity and ecosystem services, 10 per cent coverage of coastal and marine areas under national jurisdiction has already been surpassed. The full implementation of agreed national priority actions and other commitments, including those in National Biodiversity Stra…

R&D in the United States department of homeland security
” The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began full operations in March by consolidating nearly 180,000 federal employees from nearly two-dozen agencies into a single cabinet-level department . ” The DHS would become one of the major funding sources of R&D . The DHS R&D portfolio would total $1.0 billion in FY 2004, a 50% jump from the $669 million for comparable programs in FY 2003 and nearly quadruple the FY 2002 funding level . 2 ” In FY 20…
Preferred and Actual Futures
This paper draws on 'views and visions' responses collected at the time of the Land Use-UK project in 1996. Surveyors were groups of school children with contributions in more remote locations from adults. As well as mapping the landscape participants were asked about their hopes and visions for the grid squares surveyed. One kilometre squares were identified by stratified random sampling techniques from the Ordnance Survey National Grid. The res…
Automatic detection of tonality using note distribution
Western musical compositions written in the period of common‐practice tonality tend to use key signatures which are effectively a measure of their local harmonic ‘weight’. The authors report a rule‐based system for the automated detection of tonality which makes use of the total duration of individual note classes. From a collection of experimental data, the distribution of note classes is observed. Using these empirical results a heuristic searc…
