After receiving a surprise deportation order in 1981, exiled South African poet and activist Dennis Brutus embarked on a 2‐year struggle with the Reagan administration and its constructive engagement policies, underscoring the growing rift between public condemnation of apartheid and the U.S. government's continued support of the South African government. In the twenty years since the Sharpeville Massacre vaulted apartheid into America's collective public consciousness, the anti‐apartheid forces in the United States had won few victories against the U.S. government. Brutus's ensuing deportation offered a unique opportunity to directly challenge the U.S. government and its support of South Africa. This article explores Brutus's struggle, which offers insight into not only the complicated experience of exile, but also the complex interplay between activism and foreign policy that manifested itself through the burgeoning anti‐apartheid movement and the recalcitrant U.S. government at the beginning of the 1980s.

This article examines the Polaroid Corporation's "experiment" in South Africa during the 1970s, which began after African American workers pressured the company to pull its operations out of South Africa in protest of the white minority government's apartheid policies. It argues that Polaroid's initiatives, little studied until now, led other American companies to question their presence in South Africa and inspired both student divestment movements at Harvard and other colleges and universities and the efforts of Leon Sullivan, whose 1977 "Sullivan Principles" urged American companies to treat their workers in South Africa as they would treat their counterparts in the United States in an effort to battle racism and apartheid. Despite Polaroid's efforts, engagement with South Africa and apartheid proved futile, which initiated a larger movement to completely disengage from South Africa.

"Given the urgency of environmental problems, how we communicate about our ecological relations is crucial. Environmental Communication Pedagogy and Practice is concerned with ways to help learners effectively navigate and consciously contribute to the communication shaping our environmental present and future. The book brings together international educators working from a variety of perspectives to engage both theory and application. Contributors address how pedagogy can stimulate ecological wakefulness, support diverse and praxis-based ways of learning, and nurture environmental change agents. Additionally, the volume responds to a practical need to increase teaching effectiveness of environmental communication across disciplines by offering a repertoire of useful learning activities and assignments. Altogether, it provides an impetus for reflection upon and enhancement of our own practice as environmental educators, practitioners, and students."--Provided by publisher.
Changes in legislation that facilitate the movement of animals within the European Union may increase the risk that some microbial and parasitic organisms, currently exotic to Ireland, will be introduced by travelled pet animals. It is possible that the fox tapeworm, Echinococcus multilocularis, might be introduced in that manner from any of the several member states in which it is endemic. Red foxes are the principal definitive hosts of E. multilocularis but dogs and cats can also be infected. Infection in the definitive host is of little clinical significance, but aberrant infection of humans results in alveolar echinococcosis, a debilitating disease that has a high mortality rate. Humans acquire the organism by ingestion of Echinococcus multilocularis eggs excreted by definitive hosts; the larval metacestodes develop primarily in the liver, in the initial asymptomatic phase as small, well-encapsulated cysts. Over time, perhaps five to 15 years, progressive local infiltration and secondary cyst development at distant sites occur with resultant clinical signs. Patients with infiltrative liver disease present with cholestatic jaundice, epigastric pain, fatigue, weight loss and hepatomegaly. If left untreated, the disease can be fatal.
