"Versus Nurture" is the ultimate "What would you do in this situation?" story. A deeply psychological work of soft science fiction - written, conceived, and unleashed upon the world by the brilliant mind of Jonathan David Morris. Praise for "Versus Nurture" "In ''Versus Nurture, '' Jonathan David Morris takes the delicate idea of nature versus nurture to a whole new level. Suspenseful, mind-bending, shocking - in the end, which one of us holds the seed for world destruction, and which one of us has what it takes to stop it?" - Robert Swartwood, best-selling author of "Man of Wax" and "Dishonored Dead" "Fiction can - and has - changed the world. But fiction can also improve the human condition. ''Versus Nature'' lies in that elite class. This is no idle story, told simply to entertain - though you will laugh and occasionally blink back a tear as you skim its pages, racing ahead to answer those essential questions all good stories provoke, ''What happens next, '' and ''Why?'' If you prefer a moral to your riveting reads, you''ll love "VN.''" - Becky Akers, author of "Halestorm" "Versus Nurture had an astounding effect on me in several ways and left me thinking about it for days after finishing the last sentence." - HodgePodge Galore Book Reviews "The plot is rich with wildly imaginative and intelligent parallels and I was thoroughly engrossed before I quite knew what happened." - RJ Palmer Jonathan David Morris is "confident enough to write smart, thought-provoking fiction, and brave enough to believe his readers are intelligent enough to understand it." - Montgomery Newspapers

Diverse public opinions, competing management goals and polarized interest groups combine with problems of scale to create a complex management arena for public land managers in the southern Illinois region. Laws, codes and mandates dictate the minimal levels at which the public must be involved in natural resource decision making, especially with regard to federal lands. However, history has demonstrated on the Shawnee National Forest (SNF) that simply meeting standards can result in time consuming and costly litigation. An expanding body of literature exists that demonstrates that stakeholders'' acceptance of a management plan or decision is not based solely on scientific reasoning. Rather, acceptability is directly related to the perceived fairness of the planning/decision-making process and the level of inclusion in the process. This study seeks to develop a photo-evaluation survey technique that will allow managers to effectively elicit stakeholder attitudes about forest management practices. To this end, stakeholder groups that use the Shawnee National Forest (SNF) rated color photographs of forest management treatments. Three management themes, harvesting, prescribed fire, and trails were selected because they represent significant management goals of the 1992 Amended Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) that was mired in litigation and the 2006 LRMP that was finalized early in 2006. Responses to the three targeted management themes were elicited by photographs paired with a semantic differential attitude measurement scale. Each theme was represented by three photographs depicting a stage of a management treatment on an implied temporal scale. Study findings address the usefulness of an attitude measurement tool for avoiding future conflict or litigation as were characteristic of the SNF management plan process in recent decades.

This article documents and analyses the organization of work and human resources management in ten manufacturing plants in Malaysia and three plants in Japan. Each of the plants carries out specific tasks within an emergent international division of labour surrounding two Japanese multinational producers of consumer electronics goods. Plant roles reflect their positions in commodity chains driven by the multinationals, varying in relation to product-to-product and component-to-component divisions of labour, and in relation to the location of product and process innovations. How work is organized and how workers are managed are explained by the location of each plant within this division of labour, and by the characteristics and situation of labour, the one commodity which talks back, within the local environment.
