Real love is not for the faint of heart, and the courage it takes to survive its loss, and love again, is more than the average soul can bear. 
Rae Crenshaw does not lack for companionship. The tall beauty radiates charm and confidence, but this attractive combination conceals a vulnerable heart that has known far too much pain. She finds solace for her emptiness in casual trysts, maintaining a severe emotional distance, all the while seeking that which she feels can never be found again. 
Evon Lagace's young life has been one of extremes - a failed dance career, a precious, beautiful relationship, and a traumatic, crippling loss. Once full of exuberance and happiness, she must now struggle to find peace amidst despair and loneliness. 
Share the tears and the triumphs of these two remarkable women as you celebrate their journey to the realization that perhaps, for a lucky few, second chances do exist.

Forests for People (The Earthscan Forest Library)

Who has rights to forests and forest resources? In recent years governments in the South have transferred at least 200 million hectares of forests to communities living in and around them. This book assesses the experience of what appears to be a new international trend that has substantially increased the share of the world's forests under community administration. Based on research in over 30 communities in selected countries in Asia (India, Nepal, Philippines, Laos, Indonesia), Africa (Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ghana) and Latin America (Bolivia, Brazil, Guatemala, Nicaragua), it examines the process and outcomes of granting new rights, assessing a variety of governance issues in implementation, access to forest products and markets and outcomes for people and forests.   Forest tenure reforms have been highly varied, ranging from the titling of indigenous territories to the granting of small land areas for forest regeneration or the right to a share in timber revenues. While in many cases these rights have been significant, new statutory rights do not automatically result in rights in practice, and a variety of institutional weaknesses and policy distortions have limited the impacts of change. Through the comparison of selected cases, the chapters explore the nature of forest reform, the extent and meaning of rights transferred or recognized, and the role of authority and citizens' networks in forest governance. They also assess opportunities and obstacles associated with government regulations and markets for forest products and the effects across the cases on livelihoods, forest condition and equity.   Published with CIFOR.
