New digital technologies offer many exciting opportunities to
educators who are looking to develop better teaching practices.
When technologies are new, however, the potential for beneficial
and effective implementations and applications is not yet fully
recognized. This book is intended to provide teachers and
researchers with a wide range of ideas from researchers working to
integrate the new technology of Augmented Reality into educational
settings and processes. It is hoped that the research and theory
presented here can support both teachers and researchers in future
work with this exciting new technology. Contributors are: Miriam

Wind energy is often framed as a factor in rural economic
development, an element of the emerging "green economy" destined to
upset the dominant greenhouse- gas-emitting energy industry and
deliver conscious capitalism to host communities. The bulk of wind
energy firms, however, are subsidiaries of the same fossil fuel
companies that wrought havoc in shale-gas and coal-mining towns
from rural Appalachia to the Great Plains. On its own, wind energy
development does not automatically translate into community
development. In Governing the Wind Energy Commons, Keith Taylor
asks whether revenue generated by wind power can be put to
community well-being rather than corporate profit. He looks to the
promising example of rural electric cooperatives, owned and
governed by the 42 million Americans they serve, which generate $40
billion in annual revenue. Through case studies of a North Dakota
wind energy cooperative and an investor-owned wind farm in
Illinois, Taylor examines how regulatory and social forces are
shaping this emerging energy sector. He draws on interviews with
local residents to assess strategies for tipping the balance of
power away from absentee-owned utilities.
