To Touch a Sighted World
In Boston at what is now the Perkins School for the Blind, Samuel Gridley Howe produced two atlases during the 1830s with raised lines and alphabetic characters for blind students that were also legible for sighted readers. Believing that blind students needed to learn both the form and content of textbooks for the sighted, Howe chose materials and methods of production to mitigate difficulties that these design principles presented for blind use…
Policy Analysis
Updated in a new 5th edition, this book lays a strong conceptual foundation to understanding the rationales of and limitations to public policy. It gives practical advice about how to do policy analysis while demonstrating the application of advanced analytical techniques through case study examples. Policy Analysis: Concepts and Practices is a comprehensive, accessible, and rich introduction to policy analysis for readers in public policy, publi…

Second, a methodological approach new to the debate over performance in…

This paper provides a brief history of BC salmon fishery policy with emphasis on the restructuring of the 1990s, documents the current state of the fishery, and provides an analysis of four policy options: the current, restructured fi…
