This monograph lays out a discussion framework for understanding the role of human-computer interaction (HCI) in public policymaking. It takes an international view, discussing potential areas for research and application and their potential for impact. The aim is to provide a solid foundation for discussion, cooperation and collaborative interaction, and to outline future programs of activity. It starts with an introduction to HCI and public policy and goes on to discuss how HCI research and practices already inform public policy, providing representative examples. It then discusses how public policy influences HCI and provides representative public policy areas that are relevant to HCI, and where HCI could have even more impact in the future. It concludes by laying out a framework for involvement and suggested actions by the HCI community in public policy internationally. This monograph summarizes the observations and recommendations from a daylong workshop at the CHI 2013 conference in Paris, France. The workshop invited the community’s perspectives regarding the intersection of governmental policies, international and domestic standards, recent HCI research discoveries, and emergent considerations and challenges. It also incorporates contributions made after the workshop by workshop participants and by individuals who were unable to participate in the workshop but whose work and interests were highly related and relevant.

Established in 1876, Mount Pleasant Cemetery is a plant lover's paradise in the middle of Canada's largest city, Toronto. It is ecologically important, acting as a carbon sink as well as one of the country's largest arboretums. Its hundreds of varieties of trees represent all the species that can grow in this area of Canada, including very rare species, and the cemetery is renowned for its picturesque landscaping and beautifully maintained grounds, making it a desirable place for both locals and visitors to explore. In Trees and Shrubs of Mount Pleasant Cemetery, author and photographer Janet Davis captures the magic of the cemetery's flora through the seasons, from early spring cherry blossoms and summer hydrangeas, to the brilliant colors of fall and, at last, the soaring conifers that stand out against the snowy backdrop of winter. Beginning with a brief introduction to the cemetery and its dedicated teams of arborists and gardeners, this handsome guide introduces you to hundreds of plant species that call Mount Pleasant Cemetery home -- doing so through lively, detailed captions and breathtaking photographs. This book, small enough to tuck into a bag, will aid you in identifying and enjoying all the plants and trees you will encounter on your next visit to Mount Pleasant as well as enhance your encounters with the same plants elsewhere. It will also cover topics, such as animals, birds, diseases and pests, and it includes an arboretum map and several lists of plants to look for.
