SAN FRANCISCO Donovan Smith Womens Jersey , July 1 (Xinhua) -- A group of scholars have written about a number of past "wicked problems" that confounded the society, economy, environment and politics in the United States.
Writing for a new book, just published by the Oregon State University Press, Robert Lackey, a fisheries biologist who has worked for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Oregon State University (OSU) Vernon Hargreaves III Womens Jersey , tackles the issue of wild salmon recovery in the U.S. Pacific Northwest.
Lackey argues that the science and technology to restore wild salmon runs is available, but the solutions ultimately would be too restrictive and divisive to succeed. The billions of U.S. dollars spent on salmon recovery to make minute inroads into the solution might be considered "guilt money," he writes, noting that "it is money spent on activities not likely to achieve recovery of wild salmon, but it helps people feel better as they continue the behaviors and choices that preclude the recovery of wild salmon."
Another such issue in the book addresses the pros and cons of hydraulic fracturing, commonly referred to as "fracking." The process involves injecting liquid at high pressure into subterranean rocks Chris Godwin Womens Jersey , boreholes, etc., so as to force open existing fissures and extract oil or gas. Written by Christopher Weible and Tanya Heikkila of the University of Colorado at Denver, the essay explores how professional expertise, personal values, and affiliation with different groups affects how people approach the issue Justin Evans Womens Jersey , and how the process might be regulated.
By addressing these challenges and proposing problem-solving methodologies to tackle wicked problems, the scholars, together with their editors, hope to help guide the United States through its current era of political polarization and complex issues.
The essays were compiled into the book, titled "New Strategies for Wicked Problems: Science and Solutions in the 21st Century."
Editors Edward Weber, Denise Lach and Brent Steel of the School of Public Policy at OSU O. J. Howard Womens Jersey , explore whether there is need for a new social contract for scientists and policy implementation, arguing that plans to address issues are often rushed and lack sufficient time for implementation, and the timetable for addressing such issues rarely matches funding cycles. And in addition, leadership needs training, not only on issues, but on how to engage stakeholders and collaborate on processes.
"We also hope to energize the scholarly and practitioner-based conversations and real-world practices around these topics in ways that help leaders and stakeholders imagine new possibilities Lavonte David Womens Jersey , conduct new experiments in implementation, and, ultimately, make even more progress in the ongoing, difficult battle against wicked problems and their less-than-desirable effects for society as a whole," they write in the concluding essay.
While expressing the hope to provide much-needed guidance to policymakers Gerald McCoy Womens Jersey , citizens, public managers and other stakeholders, Marty Brown, marketing manager for the OSU Press, was quoted as claiming in a news release from the university this week that "the book will appeal to scholars, students and decision-makers wrestling with wicked problems and 'post-normal' science settings beyond simply environment and natural resource-based issues."

An exceptionally large blue diamond sold Wednesday for 48.6 million Swiss francs ($48.5 million) — a new record price for any jewel at auction, Sotheby's said, culminating two Geneva auctions in which a private Hong Kong collector on both times bought a rare colored diamond to honor someone named Josephine.
The 12.03-carat 'Blue Moon' diamond Jameis Winston Womens Jersey , set in a ring, was said to be among the largest known fancy vivid blue diamonds and was the showpiece gem at the Sotheby's jewelry auction. A packed room broke into applause after the hammer came down at a price of 43.2 million Swiss francs, excluding fees — within the pre-auction estimate range of about 34 to 54 million francs.
The Blue Moon — so-called in reference to its rarity, playing off the expression "once in a blue moon" — topped the previous record of $46.2 million set five years ago by the Graff Pink, Sotheby's said. The diamond also set a new record of more than $4 million per carat, capping the daylong high-end jewelry sale that reaped roughly $140 million.
On its Twitter account Jordan Whitehead Womens Jersey , Sotheby's said the jewel was purchased by a Hong Kong private collector and was promptly renamed 'The Blue Moon of Josephine' — a similar name to one given to a pink diamond ring that sold for $28.5 million at Christie's in Geneva a day earlier: 'Sweet Josephine.' That too was bought by a Hong Kong collector who was not publicly identified.
