The Power of Interchange Time is impartial—each day lasts a fleeting 24 hours. Even if we work tirelessly throughout our lifetimes, our accumulated experience will be quite limited. If everyone withheld their treasured experience instead of sharing, the development of national parks and even global conservation progress would be completely different from what they are now. However, because our predecessors generously shared their precious experience with like-minded fellows, active followers, and those new to such issues through various methods, they have inspired more and more people to embark on the journey of conservation. In Cover Story I, we witness how Taiwan has become a “voice” for conservation and sustainability by conducting wetland conservation lectures, the Wetland Research Camp, the International Summit on Greyfaced Buzzard and Migratory Raptors, and other activities to promote domestic and international experience exchanges. By participating in SDGs Asia, Taiwan’s natio

The Rule of the Association (1QS; Serek ha-Yahad) is the primary description of the sectarian community described in the Dead Sea Scrolls. It was one of the first Scrolls published, in 1951. Several related fragmentary scrolls subsequently came to light. This book provides text, translation, and commentary on all these manuscripts, with a substantial introduction that locates the Rule in the context of the sectarian movement. Distinctive features of this commentary include: presentation of the Hebrew text; treatment of the related manuscripts as texts in their own right, not just as stages in the development of 1QS; recognition that this was a rule for a movement with many settlements and not just for the community that lived at Qumran; recognition of graded levels of holiness within 1QS; recognition of conceptual differences between 1QS and some of the related fragments with regard to the nature and goals of the association; discussion of the broader cultural context of voluntary asso

The practice of "gender training" has gained widespread popularity among numerous professions in the last few decades. Designed to address a range of problems--from corporate advancement, to sexual assault, to economic development--gender training is reliably presented as a solution to gendered disparities. Gender training has even become a requirement for soldiers and police officers deploying overseas as peacekeepers. But what happens when the concept of gender, the analytical purchase of which we owe to feminist activism and scholarship, is taken up by martial institutions shaped by hegemonic masculinity? How is gender training made to work in and for military and police organisations? Is it a normative good from the point of view of intersectional feminist politics? Through an ethnographic study of gender training practices in peacekeeping institutions, Aiko Holvikivi examines how gender is conceptualised, taught, and learned in these settings, and with what political effects.
