To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.
— Victor Hugo
Although of course all PSO journals will from time to time touch on environmental challenges, two of them have special charge to confront the issues — the World Food Policy journal and the World Water Policy journal. So does the annual Dupont Summit in Washington, which has often presented panels and papers on environmental issues. The PSO books on the environment take a broad ecumenical view of the subject and lend themselves to use in the classroom and in discussion groups, as well as information backstops for service club projects. Another Westphalia Press library that often deals with this important subject is World Affairs.
环境研究图书馆
虽然政策研究组织(PSO)的所有杂志都会偶尔涉及环境挑战,但其中两本杂志专门负责应对这些问题——《世界粮食政策》杂志和《世界水政策》杂志。在华盛顿特区举行的年度杜邦峰会也是如此,该峰会经常就环境问题提出专家小组讨论和论文。政策研究组织的环境著作对该主题采取广泛的普世观点,并用于课堂和讨论组,以及服务机构项目的信息支持。另一个经常研究该重要主题的是世界事务图书馆(隶属威斯特伐利亚出版社)。
