The Pastor's Sandal Path relates my envisioning of God in nature. I
was privileged to grow up with my sister and five brothers on a
farm where our parents instilled in us the presence of God in our
daily lives, as well as in the majesty of God's nature. My early
schooling took place in a one-room country school where our
fantastic teacher incorporated the beauty of God and nature in the
classroom and on field trips. In the upper grades, the Dominican
sisters assisted my parents in laying a solid faith foundation.
After graduation, I entered St. Mary of the Lake Seminary Mundelein
where my faith was deepened, my love of Jesus increased, and God's
presence in nature more keenly perceived. I hope my perceptions of
God in nature will help the reader to encounter God in their
ordinary experiences of life.
Modernist debates about waste - both aesthetic and economic - often
express biases against gender and sexual errancy. The Poetics of
Waste looks at writers and artists who resist this ideology and
respond by developing an excessive poetics.
Bringing together the diverse perspectives of over 20 leading
journalism scholars, this collection provides an original insight
into the history of American journalism and issues that exist and
have existed within the industry for decades. The culture of
journalism is in constant flux, with both individual journalists
and the news industry as a whole regularly finding themselves at
the center of controversy. While heightened in recent years, such
controversy is not new and could in fact be considered a hallmark
of the profession. With this in mind, this book presents original
perspectives into issues and debates regarding the role of
journalism in America, journalistic objectivity and ethics,
diversity and representation, war and conflict reporting, local
news, fake news, and hostility towards journalists. Each of the
seven sections begins with a topical overview and ends with a short
essay written by a leader in the field. Issues in Contemporary
American Journalism is recommended reading for anyone studying the
history and evolution of journalism in the US at an advanced level.

This book critically investigates the historiography of
International Relations. For the past fifteen years, the field has
witnessed the development of a strong interest in the history of
the discipline. The chapters in this edited volume, written by some
of the field's preeminent disciplinary historians, all manifest the
best of an innovative and exciting generation of scholarship on the
history of the discipline of International Relations. One of the
objectives of this volume is to take stock of the historical turn.
Yet this volume is not simply a stock-taking exercise, as it also
intends to identify the limitations and blind spots of the recent
historiographical literature. The chapters consider a range of
diverse thinkers and examine their impact on understanding various
dimensions of the field's history.

This book offers the first full examination of the legal role of
public guardianship in 25 years, comparing current conditions to
those when the last study was published in 1981. Public
Guardianship: In the Best Interests of Incapacitated People? is
written to advance public understanding of what happens to disabled
and elderly adults when no family member or friend is available to
be a caregiver or guardian should it become necessary. It is the
first major study on this critically important issue since 1981.
Conducted by experts in gerontology, social work, public policy,
and public health, it finds that, although progress has been made,
guardianship programs around the country still are hampered by
limited staff and resources. Public Guardianship analyzes the full
range of state statutes governing guardianship, including guardian
eligibility, investigation, due process, rights, powers, costs, and
monitoring. The authors report their case studies of public
guardianship programs, marshaling and comparing field data from
their surveys of stakeholders in ten states. The book concludes
with a variety of recommendations for improving guardianship
programs, including the authors' Model Public Guardian Act.
Includes case studies on public guardianship programs in ten
different states Offers bibliographic listings of works cited in
the text Presents tables and charts showing important data
This book on the Supreme Court during the Chief Justiceship of
Edward Douglass White (1910-21) covers an important aspect of
American history during the Progressive Era. This was a time when
the role of the Supreme Court was debated with a passion rarely
exceeded in our history. In its constitutional, antitrust,
regulatory, and race-relations decisions, the Supreme Court found
itself at the heart of the most important economic and political
questions of the day. This was a time when some of the most
brilliant jurists in American history sat on the Court: Oliver
Wendell Holmes, Jr.; Louis D. Brandeis; and Charles Evans Hughes,
to name a few. This book sets the Supreme Court in the midst of the
political, economic, and social turmoil of one of the most
important periods of American history.
Dieses Buch ist eine Open Access Publikation.Der lange gehegte
Traum von kunstlicher Intelligenz (KI) wird in unserer Alltagswelt
zunehmend Realitat. Damit verbinden sich hohe gesellschaftliche
Erwartungen, aber auch Sorgen hinsichtlich einer schleichenden
Entmundigung des Menschen. Am Beispiel des Forschungssektors lotet
dieser Band die Optionen, Entwicklungschancen und Risiken von
KI-Techniken fur die Zukunft des wissenschaftlichen
Erkenntnisprozesses und der darauf beruhenden technischen
Entwicklungen aus. Zu diesem Zweck wird zunachst der Stand der
KI-Technik und ihrer Anwendungen dargestellt. Es folgen
wissenschaftsphilosophische Untersuchungen zur Frage der
Ersetzbarkeit des forschenden Menschen durch KI und zu erwartenden
Veranderungen in der wissenschaftlichen Forschung. Weitere
Abschnitte widmen sich den Folgen fur die Arbeitswelt von
Forschern/Forscherinnen sowie den durch KI erzeugten neuen
Herausforderungen fur die rechtliche Regulierung im Spannungsfeld
von Wissenschaftsfreiheit und Datenschutz. Der Band schliesst mit
Empfehlungen fur die verantwortlichen Akteure in Wissenschaft,
Forschungspolitik und Gesellschaft aus interdisziplinarer
Perspektive.

Luminescence is presently, and will continue to be, a challenging
field of research in materials science, solid-state physics and
chemistry. Recent progress in optoelectronic and display technology
continues to drive this field in the search for new luminescent
materials. Demands on new procedures for synthesis, and
understanding underlying luminescence processes in these materials,
will create new opportunities for both fundamental and applied
research. This book is a compilation of papers, both invited and
solicted, from around the world that focus on luminescence and
luminescent materials - from theory and modeling, characterization
of luminescent materials, and systems with confined structures such
as nanocrystallites and quantum wells and dots, to synthesis and
device applications.
Are we allowed to do what we are able to do? What principles should
we use to decide?These questions have accompanied medical treatment
from the beginning. Yet they are particularly salient when dealing
with an organ so central to our understanding of the self as the
human brain. Constant technological development has expanded
medicine s scope of possible interventions and made formerly
unthinkable situations probable, and pressure to make decisions in
these cases makes ethical reflection necessary. This book takes
into account both anthropological models and the results of modern
neuroscience in order to develop criteria useful for practitioners
in ethically difficult cases."
