What did generations of Indiana University students think about their years on campus—the faculty, courses, administration, pressing social issues, and each other? Through student writings and art featured in The Well House Reader, the Bloomington campus across the years vividly and sometimes whimsically comes to life.Featuring selections from more than 150 years of student writing, The Well House Reader, edited Donald J. Gray, demonstrates how students voiced their views and opinions through their contributions to campus magazines and yearbooks. From the use of satiric couplets to ridicule university president Cyrus Nutt in 1872, parody and caricature to mock the Ku Klux Klan in 1924, and long form essays to complain about the university administration in the 1960s, IU students always made their opinions clear. They wrote burlesques to mock their teachers, essays to honor them, and short stories about the satisfaction and sadness of graduation and departure from their beloved alma mater. Poignant and revealing, The Well House Reader offers unforgettable glimpses of Indiana University through the eyes and experiences of its students across the decades.

Recent work in science and technological studies has provided a clearer understanding of the way in which science functions in society and the interconnectedness among different strands of science, policy, economy and environment. It is well acknowledged that a different way of thinking is required in order to address problems facing the global community, particularly in relation to issues of risk and uncertainty, which affect humanity as a whole. However, approaches to education in science tend to perpetuate an outmoded way of thinking that is incommensurable with preparing individuals for participation and decision-making in an uncertain, complex world. Drawing on experiences of interdisciplinary dialogue and practice in a higher education context, this book illustrates how reformulating the agenda in science and technology can have a revolutionary impact on learning and teaching in the classroom at all levels. This exceptional study will interest scholars in Education, Science, Technology, and Society, and those looking to further deliberative democracy and civic participation in their students.

"Bio-Stabilization Case Studies: Treatment and Performance Evaluation" describes and evaluates 30 projects from across the United States where bio-stabilization was employed to address a detrimental naturally occurring process or byproduct of the built environment. Bio-stabilization (or soil bioengineering) refers to the use of plant materials, primarily live cuttings, arranged in the ground in different arrays to reinforce soils and protect upland slopes and/or stream banks against surficial erosion and shallow slope failures. Examples included in the collection represent different regions of the country and their specific conditions and challenges. Each project is illustrated with a number of distinctive photographs to support the reader's understanding and showcase the wide scope of projects and techniques presented. The volume is ideal for civil and environmental engineers and environmental scientists working on watershed, infrastructure projects, and municipal scale installations.

This latest publication of the British Joint Liturgical Group is intended as a contribution to the work currently being undertaken to explore the possibility of an international ecumenical lectionary. The JLG's own calendar and lectionary, first published in 1967 as one of its earliest pieces of work, made an important contribution to the revised service books of many churches. In this book the Group looks again at the principles involved in the ordered use of the scriptures in worship.

One of the most colourful and influential Anglican figures of the last century, is best remembered for two outstanding achievements. His seminal work, The Parson's Handbook, which ran to thirteen editions, shaped a distinctive style of Anglican worship - 'not too high and not too low' - still recognisable in thousands of parishes today.Secondly, an instinct for dignity in worship was matched by a desire for beauty in music and his brainchild, The English Hymnal, to which Ralph Vaughan Williams and Gustav Hoist contributed, caused nothing less than a revolution in parish music and gave the Church some of its finest tunes.Yet these accomplishments are not Dearmer's only legacy to the English Church. His support of the ordination of women, his efforts to make the ministry of healing normal pastoral practice and his ardent Christian socialism, on daring at the time, may have impeded his career, but his breadth of wisdom and his willingness to speak out have an extraordinary relevance today. A century later, with the Church still seeking to bring colour and inspiration to its worship, to affirm the ministry of both men and women, to minister to bodies as well as minds and spirits and to challenge those who believe that Christianity is about personal morality and has nothing to offer the needs of society as a whole, this authorised biography
