This groundbreaking book explores the current state of doctoral education in the United States and offers a plan for increasing the effectiveness of doctoral education. Programs must grapple with questions of purpose. The authors examine practices and elements of doctoral programs and show how they can be made more powerful by relying on principles of progressive development, integration, and collaboration. They challenge the traditional apprenticeship model and offer an alternative in which students learn while apprenticing with several faculty members. The authors persuasively argue that creating intellectual community is essential for high-quality graduate education in every department. Knowledge-centered, multigenerational communities foster the development of new ideas and encourage intellectual risk taking.

Headlines about fisheries fiascos in Canada are nothing new. What have not made the headlines, however, are management changes that have saved many of Canada's smaller fisheries such as halibut, sablefish, and sea cucumber. These fisheries have changed to a system of individual quotas, in which shares of the catch are granted to the fishermen before they go out in their boats. This allocation system has transformed these fisheries, many of which are now considered models of sustainability, profitability, and safety. This book details the use, and evaluates the effectiveness, of individual quotas in ten fisheries on Canada's Pacific Coast.
