New book, "Communications in the Public Interest" has chapter with K-Net's work
The manuscript of a new book entitled, "Communications In the Public Interest Vol. 2: Seeking Convergence in Policy and Practice" has been submitted for production. It is hoped that it will be available for launch in the early spring.
The chapter entitled "Living Smart In Two Worlds: Maintaining and Protecting First Nation Culture for Future Generations" was first drafted by John Rowlandson, Jesse Fiddler and Brian Beaton for presentation at Prince Edward Island's Smart Communities conference in the fall of 1999. It was then updated and presented again in the fall of 2002 at the Global Community Networking conference in Montreal. The paper was updated again and accepted as a chapter in this book.
Below is the table of contents for the book and a link to the Introduction to the book by the book's editors, Marita Moll and Leslie Shade.
