"Women's networks proliferated during the long nineteenth century in the Atlantic World and began spreading globally. Abetted by transformative changes in communication and transportation (the subject of the first chapter), women established links among themselves, sometimes informally, sometimes as part of formal organizations. Most goal-oriented networks, particularly those with social and political agendas, were personal, national or transnational in nature and inevitably excluded those who did not share the goal. Such activist networks and their influences are the main focus of Part One. Topics addressed include women's national and international networks in British temperance associations; British anti-slavery societies; Italian crime syndicates; the Istanbul region of the Ottoman Empire; Philippine suffragism, early twentieth-century Portuguese political organizations, and Great War relief efforts in France. The chapters in Part Two examine the diverse literary networks that women writers enjoyed, abided, or disdained during the long nineteenth century. Included are the themes of British female utopia and dystopia; how the work of some British women poets both affected and reflected the variety of networks in which they were enmeshed; the intensely personal networks of American writers Mary Moody Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Emily Dickinson, and Alice James; Salem witches reimagined as Romantic heroines by American novelists Caroline Rosina Derby and Ella Taylor; the efforts of Southern autobiographers Rebecca Harding Davis and Elizabeth Avery Meriwether early in the twentieth century to negotiate a place for themselves and the South in American national history; and the significance of women's networks present in the South and absent in Brazil as depicted in Evelyn Scott's 1923 memoir"-- Provided by publisher.

"Offers a history of Take Pride in America, a program launched during the Reagan administration to encourage citizens to assume greater responsibility for the care of public lands through voluntary efforts. Working with the Interior Department, the Advertising Council promoted the new initiative with public service announcements featuring celebrity spokespersons Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, and Louis Gossett, Jr. The program continued as part of President George H. W. Bush's Thousand Points of Light initiative. Although the Clinton administration mothballed Take Pride, it reemerged during George W. Bush's presidency and continued as a modest effort through President Obama's two terms. The book begins by surveying the role of advertising in American society, paying particular attention to the development of the Ad Council and its public service campaigns on environmental causes, such as the Smokey Bear fire prevention campaign and the "Crying Indian" Keep America Beautiful campaign. It then examines the pervasive role of voluntarism over time and the changing nature of environmental politics, notably the diminishment of the bipartisan nature of environmental policy after 1980. These themes came together in the Take Pride in America initiative, which the Reagan administration had devised as a means to blunt the heated criticism of its environmental record. The book then traces the evolution of Take Pride; how it was organized and promoted, why motorized recreational enthusiasts were attracted to the program, and what the initiative says about how Americans argue over the care of the nation's landed inheritance"--

Transforming learning from a passive to an active endeavor is critically important in today’s world. In 2015, the United Nations identified seventeen Sustainable Development Goals that represent a global consensus on the world’s most pressing issues. Realizing these ambitious goals will require concerted action at all levels, including local action. Young people are valuable components of this, and their learning experiences should both inform and inspire them as current and future changemakers. From Ideas to Action articulates the theoretical basis of Smithsonian Science for Global Goals, a series of socio-scientific community research guides focused on achieving a systemic understanding of global problems with the goal of inspiring young people to take informed and sustained action to help address global issues.
