Current Press Release For Immediate Release Princeton Seminary Alumnus and Texas Educator Donates Rare African Books to Seminary Princeton, NJ, July 16, 2003–The Reverend Dr. Henry Hale Bucher Jr. has donated his lifelong collection of rare Africana from the 19th and 20th centuries to the Princeton Theological Seminary archives. Bucher, currently chaplain and associate professor of humanities at Austin College, is a 1962 graduate of the Seminary. Bucher says he spent decades collecting West African books, especially about Gabon, because “as a pastor and educator, I knew I would never have great financial wealth to give back to Princeton, but I can contribute this once-in-a-lifetime gift to their scholarly assets.” Allison Petrilla claims the real value of the collection is beyond price, because “it would be nearly impossible to reassemble such a group of materials today.” Many of the books are written in African languages, including Mpongwe, Benga, Kelen, and Fang; many are in their original wrappers; many are cloth-bound or leather-bound. “Since very little has been written on Gabon relative to other African nations, and since many of the books are rare or fragile, this collection of Gabonia is unique in the country,” says Robert Petrilla.

PEOPLE, PARKS, AND BIODIVERSITY: ISSUES IN POPULATION-ENVIRONMENT DYNAMICS, Part Three Inevitably, a protected area will enhance certain types of economic opportunities, such as tourism or recreational home building, while discouraging others, such as logging and mining. In the United States, some rural communities have been devastated by the closing of mining and timber operations, and others have had to face social and infrastructural problems of rapid growth brought on by increased tourism and associated construction. For example, several resort towns around New York's Adirondack Biosphere Reserve saw a dramatic increase in the proportion of service and retail trade jobs from 1970 to 1990 and a rapid decline in the number of manufacturing jobs during the same period. Rutzitis and Johansen (1989) studied domestic migration to counties in the United States that contain or are adjacent to federally designated wilderness areas. They found that employment opportunities were important to only 25% of the migrants in terms of their choice of location, while the environment or physical amenities were important to almost 50%. The most important attributes of wilderness areas to new migrants were found to be scenery (83%), outdoor recreation (79%), environmental quality (78%), and pace of life (75%). When asked about their attitudes toward development, 90% of recent migrants and 85% of established residents felt that it was important to keep the environment in its natural state. Amenities and quality-of-life factors are increasingly important to some people's decisions about moving, yet many important questions remain about the apparent conflict between amenity and extractive uses.

Popular Religion And Fullness Of Life: An Asian Eco-Feminist Reflection by Chung Hyun Kyung Korea Introduction Last year, I did the most radical thing I have ever done in my life. I became a wandering Buddhist monk in the Himalayan Mountains. In Korea, we say, "You have to be Bul-Hok when you become 40 years old". Bul-Hok means not moving mind. We have this cultural ideal that you should not be swayed by outside circumstances when you become forty. Well, what a great idea! I had past forty some years ago but still swayed so much by every wind of life brought unto me. I wanted to end this and my life's suffering once and for all. So I shaved my head and joined a Buddhist monastic order to learn how to end life's sufferings. After 100 days of intense training of more than 15 hours of meditation a day in a Korean Zen monastery, I was released to go to the Himalayas. I traveled ancient villages in the Himalayas and learned about a life full of elements. At the end of my journey, I climbed up a higher mountain in the Tibetan village where I stayed and sat on the top of the mountain. I felt a strange sense of freedom. I felt my life was over and I was ready to die anytime. Throughout my life, I always asked this question. "What do I really want from my life?" Suddenly that question seemed silly. The question dropped. Now I just wanted to do "What life wants from me."

Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor Releases Human Rights Africa Gabon Country Reports on Human Rights Practices Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor February 23, 2000 The national police, which are subordinate to the Interior Ministry, and the gendarmerie, which is subordinate to the Defense Ministry, are primarily responsible for domestic law enforcement and public security. In addition elements of the armed forces and the "Republican Guard," an elite, heavily armed unit that protects the President, sometimes have performed internal security functions; both the armed forces and the Republican Guard are subordinate to the Defense Ministry. Members of the security forces occasionally committed human rights abuses. The Government generally respected the rights of its citizens in some areas; however, longstanding human rights abuses continued. Members of the security forces committed isolated extrajudicial killings, the security forces beat and tortured prisoners and detainees, prison conditions remained harsh and life threatening, arbitary arrest and detention continued, the judiciary remained subject to government influence, and authorities routinely infringed on citizens' privacy rights. The Government continued to restrict freedom of the press. The ability of citizens to change their government remained limited. Violence and societal discrimination against women and forced labor by foreign children as domestic and agricultural workers remained problems.

Elements of the armed forces and the "Republican Guard," an elite, heavily armed unit that protects the President, sometimes performed internal security functions; both were subordinate to the Defense Ministry. The anti-gang unit proposed in 2001 never became operational. During the year, security forces continued to conduct "sweep" operations intended to detain bandits. Members of the security forces occasionally committed human rights abuses. The country's economy lacked diversity and was heavily dependent on foreign trade; its population was approximately 1.2 million. The Government dominated much of the economy through oil refining, telecommunications, and timber export parastatals; water, electric, railroad, and sugar parastatals have been privatized. Government financial mismanagement and corruption have contributed to significant arrears in domestic and external debt payments. The oil industry generated nearly half of recorded gross national product that gave the country's citizens a relatively high standard of living. A third of the country's citizens live in the capital, Libreville, along with many immigrants from poor African countries, who work chiefly in the informal and service sectors. Income distribution remained heavily skewed in favor of urban dwellers and a small economic elite, while the rural population continued to receive relatively few social services.

She is internationally recognised as an expert in race, ethnicity and multiculturalism, about which she has published widely. Her latest book is On Not Speaking Chinese: Living Between Asia and the West Abstract: Racism is widespread in Australia today. It is also a complex phenomenon. Education is often mentioned as one of the key strategies to combat racism, but how does one educate people to stop being racist? Does it have to take the form of Jane Elliott's confrontational blue-eye/brown-eye exercise. This keynote places doubt on the effectiveness of punishing methods of anti-racist strategies. Instead, it calls for an ethical exploration of the possibilities of increasing interracial trust.
