Описание: Elers Koch, a key figure in the early days of the U.S. Forest Service, was among the first American-trained silviculturists, a pioneering forest manager, and a master firefighter. By horse and on foot, he helped establish the boundaries of most of our national forests in the West, designed new fire-control strategies and equipment, and served during the formative years of the agency. Forty Years a Forester, Koch’s entertaining and illuminating memoir, reveals one remarkable man’s contributions to the incipient science of forest management and his role in building the human relationships and policies that helped make the U.S. Forest Service, prior to World War II, the most respected bureau in the federal government. This new, fully annotated edition of Koch’s memoir offers an unparalleled look at the Forest Service’s formative ambitions to regulate the national forests and grasslands and reminds us of the principled commitment that Koch and his peers exemplified as they built the national forest system and nurtured the essential conservation ethic that continues to guide our use of the public lands.

When Joegodson D?ralcin? was still a small child, his parents leftrural Haiti to resettle in the rapidly growing zones of Port-au-Prince.As his family entered the city in 1986, Duvalier and his dictatorshipexited. Haitians, once terrorized under Duvalier’s reign, wereliberated and emboldened to believe that they could take control oftheir lives. But how? Joining hundreds of thousands of other peasantstrying to adjust to urban life, Joegodson and his family sought workand a means of survival. But all they found was low-waged assemblyplant jobs of the sort to which the repressive Duvalier regime hadopened Haiti’s doors—the combination of flexible capitaland cheap labour too attractive to multinational manufacturers to beoverlooked. With the death of his mother, Joegodson was placed in hisuncle’s care, and so began a childhood of starvation, endlesslabour, and abuse.
In honest, reflective prose, Joegodson—now a fatherhimself— allows us to walk in the ditches of Cit? Soleil, to hidefrom the macoutes under the bed, to feel the ache of an emptystomach. But, most importantly, he provides an account of life in Haitifrom a perspective that is rarely heard. Free of sentimentality andhackneyed clich?s, his narrative explores the spirituality of Vodou,Catholicism, and Protestantism, describes the harrowing day of the 2010earthquake and its aftermath, and illustrates the inner workings ofMINUSTAH. Written with Canadian historian Paul Jackson—Joegodsontelling his story in Creole, Jackson translating, the two of them thenreviewing and reworking—the memoir is a true collaboration, thestruggle of two people from different lands and vastly differentcircumstances to arrive at a place of mutual understanding. In theprocess, they have given us an unforgettable account of a countrydetermined to survive, and on its own terms.
