AT THE CORE OF OUR WORK IS THE BELIEF THAT IDEAS ARE ENGINES OF CHANGE: THEY SPARK INNOVATION AND DRIVE POLICY. YET WHEN ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS ARE HELD IN THE MINDS OF A FEW EXPERTS, PRACTITIONERS CANNOT ACCESS OR APPLY THEM. ISLAND PRESS PLAYS AN ESSENTIAL ROLE IN OVERCOMING THAT OBSTACLE--WE DISCOVER, SHAPE, AND AMPLIFY IDEAS THAT NEED TO BE HEARD.ISLAND PRESS EMPOWERS DECISION MAKERS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THEY NEED TO MAKE CRITICAL CHOICES ABOUT THE FUTURE OF OUR PLANET. IN 2016, ISLAND PRESS WORKED CLOSELY WITH VOICES FROM ACADEMIA, THE PRIVATE SECTOR, THE ADVOCACY COMMUNITY, GOVERNMENT, AND THE MEDIA. WITH HELP FROM OUR GENEROUS SUPPORTERS, WE ELEVATE THESE VOICES OF CHANGE, SHINE A SPOTLIGHT ON CRUCIAL ISSUES, AND FOCUS ATTENTION ON SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS. BOOKS CONTINUE TO HAVE RELEVANCE AND IMPORTANCE TO OUR AUDIENCES AND ISLAND PRESS BOOKS HAVE SHOWN THAT THEY CAN BE A SPRINGBOARD FOR CHANGES IN POLICY AND PRACTICE THAT MAKE COMMUNITIES MORE SUSTAINABLE. FOR EXAMPLE, THE FAST ACT, A SWEEPING $305 BILLION FEDERAL HIGHWAY BILL PASSED IN EARLY 2016, DIRECTS THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO USE OUR 2013 BOOK "URBAN STREET DESIGN GUIDE" BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CITY TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS (NACTO) WHEN DEVELOPING DESIGN STANDARDS-ENSURING THAT PUBLIC OFFICIALS HAVE THE MOST UP-TO-DATE TOOLS FOR CREATING SAFE STREETS. ACCORDING TO "USA TODAY", THE FIVE-YEAR INFRASTRUCTURE BILL IS THE LONGEST REAUTHORIZATION OF FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS THAT CONGRESS HAS APPROVED IN MORE THAN A DECADE. IN EARLY 2016, AUTHOR GABE KLEIN LED A SAFER STREETS FORUM WITH MIAMI, FL OFFICIALS THAT HELPED CONVINCE MIAMI MAYOR CARLOS GIMENEZ TO BUILD A COMPLETE STREETS DEMONSTRATION PROJECT-DESIGNED TO ENABLE SAFE ACCESS FOR PEDESTRIANS, BICYCLISTS, MOTORISTS AND TRANSIT RIDERS OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES. A FOUNDATION FUNDER PROVIDED A COPY OF HIS BOOK "START-UP CITY" TO EACH OF THE 400 ATTENDEES TO INSPIRE THEM TO APPLY HIS IDEAS ABOUT "PUBLIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP" IN CREATING SUCH PROJECTS.ISLAND PRESS PUBLISHED 27 NEW TITLES IN 2016, SELLING 93,335 UNITS AND DISTRIBUTING 6,347 COMPLIMENTARY UNITS. AMONG THESE WERE:"BITING THE HANDS THAT FEED US" BY BAYLEN LINNEKIN, WHICH REVEALS THE UNEXPECTED WAYS FOOD REGULATIONS CAN THWART SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES AND OUTLINES HOW REGULATIONS COULD BE REFORMED TO SUPPORT SMALL FARMS, REDUCE WASTE, AND FEED THE HUNGRY. THE HUFFINGTON POST SAID IT "MAKES A STRONG CASE THAT THE BIGGEST ISSUES FACING OUR NATION'S FOOD SUPPLY ARE ONES DESERVING BIPARTISAN SOLUTIONS-AND THAT THOSE SOLUTIONS MIGHT ACTUALLY ENTAIL FEWER, BETTER FOOD LAWS INSTEAD OF A SPATE OF NEW ONES.""WILD BY DESIGN: STRATEGIES FOR CREATING LIFE-ENHANCING LANDSCAPES", BY AWARD-WINNING DESIGNER MARGIE RUDDICK WHICH SHOWS DESIGNERS HOW TO LOOK BEYOND THE CONVENTIONS TO DESIGN BEAUTIFUL, SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPES THAT SUCCESSFULLY RECONNECT PEOPLE WITH LARGER NATURAL SYSTEMS. MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW SAID: "PROFUSELY AND BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED THROUGHOUT WITH COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY, "WILD BY DESIGN" ... SHOULD BE ON THE PERSONAL READING LISTS OF EVERY ASPIRING AND PRACTICING LANDSCAPE DESIGNER."WATER SCARCITY HAS BEEN A CONCERN FOR WESTERN COMMUNITIES FOR DECADES, YET STORIES OF HOW CITIES AND FARMERS ARE ADAPTING TO USE LESS OFTEN GO UNTOLD. IN "WATER IS FOR FIGHTING OVER: AND OTHER MYTHS ABOUT WATER IN THE WEST", JOURNALIST JOHN FLECK LOOKS AT THE WATER CRISIS AND FINDS OPTIMISM. THE BOOK EXAMINES INSTANCES IN WHICH WATER SHARING IN THE WEST HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED SUCCESSFULLY, HOW IT HAS FAILED, AND WHAT WE CAN LEARN TO CREATE WORKABLE AGREEMENTS FOR THE FUTURE. FLECK PROPOSES A CONSERVATION FRAMEWORK FOR SOLVING LONG-ENTRENCHED PROBLEMS AND SAVING LIFE IN THE WEST. "ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL" DECLARED: "THIS IS AN IMPORTANT BOOK FOR ALL WESTERNERS." DRAWING ON THE MOST WIDE-RANGING STUDIES OF AN URBAN-NATURAL AREA, "PROSPECTS FOR RESILIENCE: INSIGHTS FROM NEW YORK CITY'S JAMAICA BAY" USES JAMAICA BAY, THE LARGEST WILD AREA IN NEW YORK CITY, TO UNDERSTAND HOW ECOSYSTEMS CHANGE, RESPOND, AND ADAPT TO CHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES BEFORE AND AFTER DISRUPTIONS LIKE HURRICANE SANDY. THIS LARGE, URBAN, ESTUARINE LAGOON, LESS THAN 15 MILES FROM MANHATTAN, PROVIDES INVALUABLE LESSONS FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO CREATE RESILIENT FORMS OF URBAN NATURE, IN COMPLEX, MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL SITUATIONS. "PROSPECTS FOR RESILIENCE" SETS FORTH A FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCHERS, URBAN PLANNERS, STUDENTS, AND OTHERS TO HELP THEM CREATE MORE RESILIENT CITIES THAT WORK WITH, NOT AGAINST, NATURE.WHILE IT HAS LONG BEEN CLEAR THAT THE WORLD'S OCEANS ARE IN TROUBLE, THE LACK OF RELIABLE DATA ON FISHERY CATCHES HAS OBSCURED THE SCALE, AND NUANCES, OF THE CRISIS. DRAWING ON ORIGINAL RESEARCH BY DANIEL PAULY, ONE OF THE WORLD'S LEADING FISHERIES BIOLOGISTS, "GLOBAL ATLAS OF MARINE FISHERIES" IS THE FIRST COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT THE CURRENT STATE OF THE WORLD'S FISHERIES. WITH MANY COUNTRIES UNDER-REPORTING THEIR CATCH TO THE FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS (FAO) BY AS MUCH AS 500% AND OTHERS OVER-REPORTING, SCIENTISTS, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, AND POLICYMAKERS HAVE BEEN RELYING ON LARGELY INACCURATE DATA. THE ATLAS PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE PICTURE OF OUR CURRENT PREDICAMENT AND STEPS THAT CAN BE TAKEN TO EASE IT. BY MAKING THIS INFORMATION MORE ACCESSIBLE, WE ARE HELPING TO ADVANCE CONSERVATION OF ENDANGERED SPECIES AND INFORM BETTER FISHERIES MANAGEMENT. 823780 607675 MARKETING, COMMUNICATION, AND DISTRIBUTIONISLAND PRESS DISSEMINATES AND COMMUNICATES INFORMATION ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS THROUGH BOOK PUBLISHING AND SALES, AS WELL AS IN-PERSON AND ONLINE OUTREACH TO AUDIENCES. OUR BOOKS REACH SCIENTISTS, POLICYMAKERS, ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCATES, STUDENTS, THE MEDIA, AND CONCERNED CITIZENS TO SHINE A SPOTLIGHT ON IMPORTANT ISSUES AND POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS TO THEM. ISLAND PRESS BOOKS ARE READ BY GOVERNMENTAL, PROFESSIONAL, AND NONPROFIT STAFF AND THEIR ORGANIZATIONS; BUSINESSES; STUDENTS AND PROFESSORS; AND GENERAL READERS INTERESTED IN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. IN 2016, 30 ISLAND PRESS BOOKS WERE FEATURED ON "BEST OF" LISTS IN 13 MEDIA OUTLETS. "PLANETIZEN'S" TOP PLANNING BOOKS INCLUDED BOTH "WHAT MAKES A GREAT CITY" BY ALEXANDER GARVIN AND "THE PAST AND FUTURE CITY" BY STEPHANIE MEEKS WITH KEVIN MURPHY. GARVIN'S BOOK WAS ALSO FEATURED IN THE "SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE'S" HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE. "WIRED" MAGAZINE'S REQUIRED SCIENCE READING FROM 2016 INCLUDED "WATER IS FOR FIGHTING OVER" BY JOHN FLECK.WE FEATURE BOOKS AT ALL CONFERENCES THAT ISLAND PRESS ATTENDS IN ORDER TO EFFECTIVELY REACH PROFESSIONALS. THESE INCLUDE THOSE OF MAJOR ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION, CONGRESS FOR THE NEW URBANISM, AND SOCIETY FOR ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION. ADDITIONALLY, WE HELP TEACH THE NEXT GENERATION OF PRACTITIONERS AND POLICYMAKERS BY PROMOTING OUR BOOKS FOR ADOPTION IN COLLEGE COURSES. TO DATE, MORE THAN 5,000 PROFESSORS HAVE ADOPTED ISLAND PRESS BOOKS FOR USE IN THEIR COURSES AND WE CONTINUE TO SHARE THE LATEST TITLES AND SUPPLEMENTAL TEACHING RESOURCES, SUCH AS POWERPOINT SLIDES, WITH THEM. WE ALSO EXTEND OUR REACH GLOBALLY: ISLAND PRESS TITLES ARE CURRENTLY BEING TRANSLATED INTO CHINESE, BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE, FRENCH, AND OTHER LANGUAGES, MAKING THESE IDEAS ACCESSIBLE TO MORE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. IN 2015, WE LAUNCHED THE ISLAND PRESS URBAN RESILIENCE PROJECT, WHICH FOCUSED ON CREATING MULTIMEDIA CONTENT TO INCREASE UNDERSTANDING AND ACTION ON URBAN RESILIENCE. IN 2016, WE PRODUCED 47 ARTICLES REPRESENTING THE WORK OF MORE THAN 35 AUTHORS AND PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS. THESE ARTICLES COVERED A WIDE RANGE OF TOPICAL ISSUES - ENERGY, FOOD, SOCIAL JUSTICE, CLIMATE CHANGE, URBAN PLANNING, AND MORE. OUR CONTENT WAS PUBLISHED IN 40 OUTLETS - INCLUDING "THE GUARDIAN", "GRIST", "THE NATION", "THE ROOT", AND "TRUTHOUT". THIS WORK GARNERED OVER 18,000 SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENTS IN 2016 WITH A POTENTIAL REACH OF 144 MILLION READERS. 1341439 46360 PROGRAM SERVICES/TECHNICAL ASSISTANCEIN 2016, WE EMPHASIZED MORE DIRECT WORK WITH PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS AND OTHER PARTNERS TO BETTER DISSEMINATE OUR CONTENT TO THEIR MEMBERS AND BUILD THE CAPACITY OF PROFESSIONALS TO TACKLE ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES. ONE WAY WE PARTNER FOR OUTREACH IS THROUGH OUR COLLABORATION WITH THE SECURITY AND SUSTAINABILITY FORUM (SSF), AN ONLINE LEARNING ORGANIZATION FOCUSED ON CLIMATE SECURITY. THE FORUM REACHES POLICYMAKERS AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, ACADEMICS, AND INDUSTRY AND NON-PROFIT PROFESSIONALS, WHICH ALIGNS WELL WITH ISLAND PRESS' OWN TARGET AUDIENCE. THE WEBINARS REACH 20,000 PEOPLE THROUGH SSF'S NETWORK OF PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS. OUR CONTINUING EDUCATION PARTNERSHIP WITH THE U.S. GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL LAUNCHED IN 2014 AND HAS GROWN INTO A STRONG EDUCATIONAL COLLABORATION. WE HAVE DEVELOPED SEVEN ONLINE COURSES ON SUSTAINABLE CITIES EXCLUSIVELY FOR THEIR NETWORK OF 200,000 LEED PROFESSIONALS. OUR COURSES HAVE MORE THAN 9,300 COMPLETIONS AND HAVE DELIVERED MORE THAN 13,000 EDUCATIONAL HOURS TO THEIR AUDIENCE OF ARCHITECTS, PLANNERS, DEVELOPERS, AND GREEN BUILDING PROFESSIONALS TO DATE. OUR COURSES ARE CONSISTENTLY AMONG THE MOST COMPLETED AND MOST HIGHLY-RATED ON THE PLATFORM. PROGRAMS LIKE THESE MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE BY REACHING PROFESSIONALS WHO CAN INTEGRATE NEW IDEAS AND TESTED SOLUTIONS INTO THEIR WORK. WE REGULARLY RECEIVE FEEDBACK WITH EXAMPLES OF HOW OUR BOOKS AND THEIR RELATED OUTREACH ACTIVITIES ARE INFLUENCING PEOPLE TO PUT OUR AUTHORS' IDEAS INTO PRACTICE, SUCH AS THIS COMMENT ON ONE OF OUR U.S. GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSES: "AS A PROFESSIONAL WORKING IN EQUITY, SUSTAINABILITY, AND TRANSPORTATION - I FOUND THIS READING HELPFUL FOR DISCUSSING THE INTERSECTIONALITY OF THE ABOVE THREE IN SPEAKING ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND HOW AND WHY TO BEST PREPARE FOR IT".EACH OF THESE ACTIVITIES ADVANCES OUR MISSION TO PROVIDE THE BEST IDEAS AND INFORMATION TO THOSE SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND CREATE SOLUTIONS TO ITS COMPLEX PROBLEMS.
