Book SynopsisAn Introduction to Human Communication: Communicate, Connect, Collaborate helps students understand the roles and skills essential to communicating effectively in today's environment.Providing a fresh approach to both contemporary and traditional communication topics, this text is divided into three parts: Foundations of Communication; Interpersonal and Small Group Communication; and Public Speaking. The authors use a model of communication that integrates networked digital media, addresses cultural differences and diversity, incorporates examples from popular culture and current events, and offers sound pedagogy based on their extensive teaching and research experience.The lines between interpersonal, small group, organizational, public, and mass communication have blurred as people routinely share their thoughts and ideas with others via social networking platforms, blogs, messaging apps, texts, and emails. These ways of connecting have altered how individuals think about communication, enact relationships, and inform and persuade each other. In recognizing communicators as active message producers rather than passive message consumers, this text empowers students to successfully negotiate their agency and identity across communication contexts.This is the ideal textbook for introduction to human communication courses, helping students gain the fundamental knowledge and tools necessary for our increasingly complex world.

Book SynopsisRigorous biography of a prime mover in Canadian parks, recreation, and wildlife stewardship and conservation.Trade Review"J.B. Harkin: Father of Canada's National Parks is a thorough biography, just released by the University of Alberta Press. Author Ted Hart is the head archivist of the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies in Banff. Harkin, as the first commissioner of dominion parks from 1911 to 1936, was the architect and first leader of the government agency charged with overseeing the national park system.... Though 1885 seems a long time ago, the pressing issues of that time are still with us today.... Everyone interested in the current debate over the development of Banff-and all Canadian national parks-can benefit from reading this biography. J.B. Harkin believed these special places could make us all 'better, happier and healthier.' It falls to our generation to interpret and apply his lofty goals as we manage and protect this timeless treasure." David Finch, Calgary Herald, January 24, 2010"Although not popularly known, J.B. Harkin played a major role in the development of Canada's national parks. Appointed commissioner of the Dominion Parks Branch in 1911, he found a balance between public use and protecting the environment. ... [He] developed an efficient park service and policies that favoured conservation and recreation. When one reads this book, they can appreciate both the career of Harkin and the excellent work that Ted Hart has done in creating this biography." Alberta History, Summer 2010"Hart provides a biography of James Bernard Harkin (1875-1955), a tireless proponent of conservation and historic site preservation and, as many would say, the father of many of Canada's national parks. The author follows Harkin's career from his internship with the Department of the Interior through his retirement as first commissioner of Canada's Dominion Parks Branch. Harkin was creator of the world's first park service." Reference and Research Book News, August 2010"Hart (Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies) restores the reputation of James Bernard Harkin, first commissioner of Canada's Dominion Parks, who served from 1911 to 1936.... [Harkin] became responsible for instituting standards for all dominion parks. This study will also interest students of the US National Park Service (NPS) in its parallels between the evolution of NPS director Horace Albright (1929-33) and Harkin to become protectors of the integrity of park resources. In one case, the NPS helped Harkin save the international waters of Waterton Lakes from being dammed for irrigation purposes. Recommended." P.W. Kaufman, University of Southern Maine, Choice Magazine"In taking on this biography, Hart, like the historians who preceded him, faced a formidable obstacle. Harkin left no personal papers shedding light on his private life and thoughts. Consequently, this book is a biography of Harkin as public servant, and from that perspective, it is a very good one. Hart has scoured the voluminous Dominion Parks Branch files (RG-84 Library and Archives Canada); all Department of Interior files relating to parks branch activities; the relevant prime ministers' papers; the major Alberta archives possessing material on the western parks; and the papers of Mabel Williams (a long-standing parks branch employee during Harkin's tenure), collected by Robin Winks and now housed in the Whyte Museum. Based on this extensive research, Hart has convincingly answered many of the criticisms made by the revisionists against Harkin." Gerald Killan, King's University College at The University of Western Ontario. [Full review at https://www.h-net.org/reviews/showrev.php?id=32511]"Ted Hart is no stranger to mountain slopes or national parks. The former executive director or Banff's Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies has been an archivist, a historian and a proponent of national park history for nearly four decades. Reading his remarkably well-researched biography of Canada's first commissioner of national parks, one could easily imagine Harkin's reaction to these recent developments ['via ferrata' and 'ziplining']. Throughout his career, Harkin worried about the 'increased demands for more and more roads, cheaper forms of amusement and commercial exploitation' in natinal parks." Ed Struzik, Canadian Geographic, April 2011"In 1920, Prime Minister Arthur Meighen described James B. Harkin, director of the Dominion Parks Branch, as 'one of the most competent officers in the Government Service' (p. 336). It strikes me as a most Canadian of compliments, for a man who emerges from E. J. Hart's lengthy biography as a deft and dedicated bureaucrat who consistently and effectively championed national parks to the Canadian government and the Canadian public throughout the first half of the twentieth century....Harkin deserves a biography of this magnitude. He succeeded in transforming the Canadian landscape by creating a national parks system, but more importantly, he grappled with many of the same issues-political, public, and ecological-facing Parks Canada at the beginning of its second century. We can learn much from studying the life and times of one of our 'most competent' historical figures." Claire Campbell, Environmental History,(doi:10.1093/envhis/emr065)"Hart has written a very thorough piece of administrative history. By catching the cadence of bureaucratic life, he has imparted a sense of Harkin's reality. This provides the context in which Harkin can be fairly assessed.. Ted Hart has done well to have memorialized him in such a careful fashion." Peter E. Rider, Histoire sociale / Social History, Vol XLIV, No 88, November, 2011

Book SynopsisIn times that feel apocalyptic, where do we place our hope? It's an apocalyptic moment. The grim effects of climate change have left many people in despair. Young people often cite climate fears as a reason they are not having children. Then there’s the threat of nuclear war, again in the cards, which could make climate worries a moot point. The paradoxical answer ancient Judaism gave to such despair was a promise: the promise of doomsday, the “Day of the Lord” when God will visit his people and establish lasting justice and peace. Judgment, according to the Hebrew prophets, will be followed by renewal – for the faithful, and perhaps even for the entire cosmos. Over the centuries since, this hopeful vision of apocalypse has carried many others through moments of crisis and catastrophe. Might it do the same for us?On this theme: creation is transformed and made new.That’s what the “end of the age” meant to Jesus and his early - Peter J. Leithart says when old worlds die, we need something sturdier than the myth of progress. - Brandon McGinley says you can’t protect your kids from tragedy. - Cardinal Peter Turkson points to the spiritual roots of the climate crisis. - David Bentley Hart says disruption, not dogma, is Christianity’s grounds for hope. - Hanna-Barbara Gerl-Falkovitz reminds us that the Book of Revelation ends well. - Lyman Stone argues that those who claim that having children threatens the environment are wrong. - Eleanor Parker recounts how, amid Viking terror, one Anglo-Saxon bishop held a kingdom together. - Shira Telushkin describes how artist Wassily Kandinsky forged a path from the material to the spiritual. - Anika T.
