Teaching is a stressful profession and the radical changes currently occurring in the education system are likely on balance, to increase rather than reduce levels of stress. There is a danger that media treatment of stress will simplify and sensationalize the matter into one where stress is seen as a pathological state: there is nothing wrong with the individual who experiences it. Locating the problem of stress in certain individuals is half way to blaming them for their malaise. In fact, all teachers experience stress to some degree and this stress is the product of individuals’ interaction with their environment
Teaching and stress explores how we can define, recognize, research and control stress. It proposes a variety of means of managing stress in schools, both at personal and institutional levels.

Parks face intense pressure from both environmental and developmental perspectives to conserve biodiversity and provide economic opportunities for rural communities. These imperatives are often in conflict, while potential solutions may be subject to theoretical and practical disagreement and complicated by pressing economic, political, and cultural considerations. Parks in transition collects the work of the most distinguished scholars and practitioners in this field, drawing on insight from over 50 case studies and synthesizing them into lessons to guide park management in transitional economies where the challenges of poverty and governance can be severe.
It provides vital new insights for park management, regarding the relationship between conservation and commercialization, performance management, new systems of governance and management, and linkages between parks, landscape and the land-use economy.
