As a natural resource-based industry, the forest industry has an especially high profile role in environmental protection and is increasingly involved in climate change mitigation and management. Global forests are not only important because they provide a source of industrial raw material, but also because of the various other human needs they satisfy. A forest products marketer should have a basic understanding of the role that global forests play in society. Major societal trends are impacting the external environment within which the forest industry operates. We provide an overview of global forests and a brief description of the markets for the main categories of the forest industry.8822020-07-12T17:34:47Z2024-01-22T14:52:10ZNew Media Futures<img alt="Read more about New Media Futures" title="New Media Futures cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTI0MywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--6518782d43781a8625210fdd7f2400896eed09df/newmediafture.jpg" />This book is intended for use in a large introductory class in new media in a program that covers the “full-stack” including critical/cultural studies, media management, diffusion of innovation, and synthetic media production. The first half of this basic sequence covered new media and democracy, finance, intellectual property law, basic games, and transmedia. The second half of the sequence covers many topics related to aesthetics, design, technology, and methodology. To that end, this book needed to be written so that it would be helpful for many different professors and trajectories of study. This book is in neither engineering, social science, nor the humanities, but also all of those. At the same time, this is a program in the Communication Studies and Media Studies traditions of the United States and that texture will come across.8762020-07-07T18:30:54Z2024-01-22T14:52:08ZIntermediate Microeconomics with Microsoft Excel - 2nd Edition<img alt="Read more about Intermediate Microeconomics with Microsoft Excel - 2nd Edition" title="Intermediate Microeconomics with Microsoft Excel - 2nd Edition cover image" class="cover " width="752" height="952" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTg4NywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--7e5c799089ac0eee80505114babb8acdc2310608/macrossss.png" />This book is based on the idea that there is a particular framework used by economists to interpret observed reality. This framework has been called the economic way of thinking, the economic approach, and the method of economics. This book is different from the many other books that attempt to teach microeconomics in three ways: It explicitly applies the recipe of the economic approach in every example. It uses concrete examples via Microsoft Excel in every application, which enables the reader to manipulate live graphs and learn numerical methods of optimization. The majority of the content is in the Excel workbooks which the reader uses to create meaning. You learn by doing, not by reading.8622020-07-02T00:33:26Z2024-01-22T14:52:11ZState and Local Government and Politics: Prospects for Sustainability - 2nd Edition<img alt="Read more about State and Local Government and Politics: Prospects for Sustainability - 2nd Edition" title="State and Local Government and Politics: Prospects for Sustainability - 2nd Edition cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTE2NiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--91cec77195e39a13cb8125fd04550c0aa9462f48/state_localgov2nd.jpg" />Our book represents a unique opportunity for three generations of scholars to reflect upon and collectively consider their decades’ long research, and the meaning of that research to both the broader society and to students of contemporary politics. Nicholas Lovrich served as a graduate school mentor to Brent Steel, and Brent in turn mentored Christopher A. Simon as an undergraduate and guided him to study with Lovrich. Steel and Lovrich have collaborated on research for over 30 years, while Simon has frequently collaborated with Steel and Lovrich for nearly 20 years.8612020-07-01T22:13:42Z2024-01-22T14:52:10ZMarine Law and Policy for Scientists and Managers - 1st Edition<img alt="Read more about Marine Law and Policy for Scientists and Managers - 1st Edition" title="Marine Law and Policy for Scientists and Managers - 1st Edition cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTE2NSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--bf192ac8aedc2e39e9bed317eef1cdbad1977d75/Title-Page_Marine-Law-and-Policy-for-Scientists-and-Managers-350x453.jpg" />This open educational resource is designed for use by undergraduate and graduate ocean science, natural resource, fisheries and wildlife, and environmental policy students enrolled in a ten-week academic quarter. The purpose of this project is to provide students and non-law professionals with a freely accessible, clearly written guide to support engaging and effective learning. As such, the book serves as a gateway and an invitation to become a well informed, committed and involved ocean citizen as well as to explore the field beyond our course study.8592020-06-29T20:36:10Z2024-01-22T14:52:09ZEntomology 311 Lab Manual - 1st Edition<img alt="Read more about Entomology 311 Lab Manual - 1st Edition" title="Entomology 311 Lab Manual - 1st Edition cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEzNiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--590f416ecb496572efb57ae31853c226728051d5/enotlogylabman.jpg" />Labs in this book supplement the information gained in lecture, as well as providing some perspective and experience with hands-on applications of ideas in pest management. The labs are presented in week-by-week order, so the pre-labs and reading for week 1 are labeled “Pre-Lab 1” and “Week 1 Reading”. Pre-Labs are assignments to be done before lab meets, and will be due at the beginning of Lab. Complete the labs using your textbook, web resources, or the reading assigned for the week. Readings are short 1-3 page “chapters” covering background topics pertinent to the upcoming lab, particular groups of insects/arthropods, or methods used in Pest Management. This should be read before coming to Lab each week. Lab Assignments need to be printed and brought to class so that they can be completed as a group in Lab. It is sometimes helpful to read through the assignment ahead of time to get an idea of the subject matter for the week.8562020-06-29T19:47:15Z2024-01-22T14:52:07ZUnmanned Aircraft Systems in the Cyber Domain - Second Edition<img alt="Read more about Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the Cyber Domain - Second Edition" title="Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the Cyber Domain - Second Edition cover image" class="cover " width="571" height="739" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEzMywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--ad673d7e7d253ff928e3c2d2923066871160efe5/cyberdomain.png" />Unmanned Aircraft Systems are an integral part of the US national critical infrastructure. The authors have endeavored to bring a breadth and quality of information to the reader that is unparalleled in the unclassified sphere. This textbook will fully immerse and engage the reader / student in the cyber-security considerations of this rapidly emerging technology that we know as unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The first edition topics covered National Airspace (NAS) policy issues, information security (INFOSEC), UAS vulnerabilities in key systems (Sense and Avoid / SCADA), navigation and collision avoidance systems, stealth design, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) platforms; weapons systems security; electronic warfare considerations; data-links, jamming, operational vulnerabilities and still-emerging political scenarios that affect US military / commercial decisions.8382020-06-25T15:14:40Z2024-01-22T14:52:21ZCommunity Resilience to Climate Change: Theory, Research and Practice<img alt="Read more about Community Resilience to Climate Change: Theory, Research and Practice" title="Community Resilience to Climate Change: Theory, Research and Practice cover image" class="cover " width="652" height="844" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTA4NCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--376fb2ecade85d1eada4df98f78a90fd806ea7c3/community_climate_change.png" />This reader is an Open Educational Resource, meant to accompany a graduate or higher-level undergraduate university course in climate change resilience, adaptation, and/or planning. While the material is geared toward students in urban and regional planning, it may also be of interest to students of urban studies, public health, geography, political science, sociology, risk management, and others. Each section of this volume includes (1) an introductory summary, (2) a reading list with full text articles, (3) student exercises meant to enhance understanding and facilitate in-class discussion, and (4) additional discussion prompts or activities for instructors to use in class. The format of materials is intended to convey key concepts, while leaving ample space for student exploration, discourse, and creativity. Lessons may culminate in an applied, imaginative final project, a sample framework of which is provided at the end of Section VI.8282022-12-06T21:41:38Z2024-03-11T13:29:05ZTechnical Writing and Simple Statistics : for laboratory classes<img alt="Read more about Technical Writing and Simple Statistics : for laboratory classes" title="Technical Writing and Simple Statistics : for laboratory classes cover image" class="cover " width="1700" height="2200" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDMzNSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--4bd08854e1aa7079faa722cb6896ecf651953f2f/20221116%20TRAILS_Wettstein_Cover.jpg" />This upper division resource focuses on how to communicate results through technical writing, use Excel to perform simple statistics, and create professional charts/documents. Excel tutorials are provided for performing descriptive statistics, t-tests, and linear regression as well as using text boxes, formatting figures and captions, and using Equation Editor to insert equations. Additionally, guidance and examples of different communication components are provided along with team writing strategies and guidelines on how to hold efficient meetings. This textbook was designed for Biology and Chemistry majors for a 400 level course.8172020-03-22T19:56:52Z2024-01-22T14:52:06ZCommunication, Affect, & Learning in the Classroom - 4th Edition<img alt="Read more about Communication, Affect, & Learning in the Classroom - 4th Edition" title="Communication, Affect, & Learning in the Classroom - 4th Edition cover image" class="cover " width="652" height="844" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6ODA3LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--a6fa4899f25ac2e84d79cbcce0966f42850bb206/0000CALearCla.png" />Communication, Affect, & Learning in the Classroom was original published by Virginia Richmond and Joan Gorham in 1992 and then updated a decade later by Virginia Richmond, Jason S. Wrench, and Joan Gorham in 2001. As we enter into the revision of the 3rd edition of the text, the basic content has not been drastically altered over the years. However, the research in Instructional Communication has clearly become more prominent and stronger. Probably the single most important development in the past two decades was the publication of the Handbook of Instructional Communication: Rhetorical and Relational Perspectives edited by Mottet et al. (2006). The purpose of the handbook was to synthesize the first three decades of research in instructional communication into a single volume that could help both researchers and instructors understand the value of communication in the instructional process.
