When business leaders, government officials, and other stakeholders come to the table in an environmental, health, or safety dispute, acrimony often results, leading to expensive and time-consuming litigation. Not only does this waste precious resources, but rarely does the process produce the best outcome for any of the parties involved. For the past five years, the authors of this volume have conducted semi-annual seminars at the Massachussetts Institute of Technology and at Harvard to provide business leaders and regulators with the knowledge and skills they need to more effectively handle environmental, health, and safety negotiations. Their strategy, known as the "mutual gains approach," is a proven method of producing fairer, more efficient, more stable, and wiser results. Negotiating Environmental Agreements provides the first comprehensive introduction to this widely practiced and highly effective approach to environmental regulation. The book begins with an overview of the mutual gains approach, introducing important concepts and ideas from negotiation theory as well as the theory and practice of mediation. The authors then offer five model negotiations from their MIT-Harvard Public Disputes seminar, followed by a series of real-world negotiated environmental agreements that illustrate the kinds of outcomes possible when the mutual gains approach is employed. A collection of writings by leading experts provide valuable insights into the process, and appendixes offer both instructions for conducting model negotiation sessions and analysis of actual game results from earlier seminars. This is the only prescriptive text available for the many regulatees and regulators involved in environmental regulatory negotiations each year. Anyone involved with environmental negotiation -- including corporate and public sector managers, students of environmental policy, environmental management, and business management -- will find the book an essential resource.

Jennifer was a "good girl"-so how did she end up pregnant at seventeen? By the time the baby was born, her boyfriend had moved away; he said they could keep their long distance relationship strong, but they didn''t. They broke up, and Jennifer was left alone with a new baby and parents who looked at her differently. She was no longer their little girl; she was now a little mom. Having always wanted to go to college, Jennifer was disturbed by the lack of good educational programs for young mothers. She struggled, not only with her education, but with the way society-and friends-looked at her and her baby. Life was forever changed, and she felt very alone ... until she remembered there was someone who would always love and support her, no matter the situation. Moving Forward is the true story of Jennifer Thomas-teenage mother, college graduate, wife, and follower of Christ. As soon as Jennifer turned her face to the Lord, she found hope. Her path rarely went in the direction she had planned, but God always has the best intentions for His children. A personal retelling of a painful path, Moving Forward will move you and make you believe in a limitless Savior.

This qualitative study focused on the strategies that two marginalized seventh graders used as they completed an Internet inquiry project about survival. The participants spent time over a four-week period in three phases--selecting a topic, locating information, and presenting information. Participants completed journals and participated in interviews. The participants'' online searches and how they organized their presentations were recorded. The researcher took field notes. These four data sources were used to determine subcategories in each phase to document the strategies they employed as they completed the project. Participants used phrases and questions as they decided on key words to locate information. The majority of the sites they visited ended in the .com domain. They used different web browsers and spent varied amounts of time reading websites once they decided on key words and selected sites. Each participant approached the project uniquely and met the requirements to complete it.
