The purpose of this set is to improve service learning research and
practice through strengthening its theoretical base. Contributing
authors include both well-known and emerging service learning and
community engagement scholars, as well as scholars from other
fields. The authors bring theoretical perspectives from a wide
variety of disciplines to bear as they critically review past
research, describe assessment methods and instruments, develop
future research agendas, and consider implications of theory-based
research for enhanced practice. This set constitutes a rich
resource that suggests new approaches to conceptualizing,
understanding, implementing, assessing, and studying service
learning. Each chapter offers recommendations for future
research."Research on Service Learning: Conceptual Frameworks and
Assessment" will be of interest to both new and veteran service
learning instructors seeking to enhance their practice by
integrating what has been learned in terms of teaching, assessment,
and research. Staff and faculty who are responsible for promoting
and supporting service learning at higher education institutions,
evaluating community service programs, and working with faculty to
develop research on service learning, will also find this volume
helpful. For scholars and graduate students reviewing and
conducting research related to service learning, this book is a
comprehensive resource, and a knowledge base about the processes
and outcomes of innovative pedagogies, such as service learning,
that will enable them to locate their own work in an expanding and
deepening arena of inquiry.Both volumes open with chapters focused
on defining the criteria for quality research. "Volume 2A, " then
begins with research related to "students," comprising chapters
that focus on cognitive processes, academic learning, civic
learning, personal development, and intercultural competence. The

development, faculty motivation, and faculty learning. "Volume 2B"
addresses "community" development, and the role of nonprofit
organizations in service learning. It then focusses on
"institutions," examining the institutionalization of service
learning, engaged departments, and institutional leadership. The

The Struggle for the Scepter offers a richly-detailed narrative
history of the relationship between the British Parliament and the
Crown during the 18th century. Drawing on extensive primary source
documents-including political pamphlets, diaries, and
correspondence exchanged by major political players of the
period-the book traces the gradual decline of the Crown's power
throughout the century, such that by 1800, political power had
shifted to what might be called a modern parliamentary system. The
Struggle for the Scepter persuasively links this significant shift
to the British nation's recognition of five principal truths by
century's end: [1] That unified political parties based on
principle rather than personality were here to stay. [2] That this
was a good thing, in part because without party organization and
party discipline it proved impossible to manage a House of Commons
of roughly 550 Members; and, in part because the notion of a loyal
Opposition came to be seen as beneficial, both for the sake of
overseeing public administration and checking not only royal power
but the power of a parliamentary majority. [3] That the Monarch
must only appoint as ministers those that commanded a majority in
the House of Commons. [4] That with regards to policy the Monarch
must accept the dictates of those ministers. [5] That the
organization of the parliamentary majority centered on a First, or
Prime, Minister who headed a unified Cabinet; that is, a Cabinet
based on collective responsibility and a Cabinet which spoke with
one voice, through the Cabinet Minute, to the Monarch. Clayton
Roberts brings his shrewd command of British political history to
bear on this meticulously researched and fascinating account of a
turbulent and transformative century in British politics. The
result is an engaging and insightful work that should appeal to
scholars, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates interested
in the origins of the British parliamentary system and political
history more broadly.

Professor Clayton Roberts opens his book with the assertion that
the responsibilities assumed by Sir Robert Walpole as the leading
minister of George I differed markedly from those borne by Lord
Burghley as the most trusted servant of Queen Elizabeth. Walpole
assumed responsibility for the advice upon which the King acted,
and answered to Parliament for the wisdom as well as the legality
of that advice. Lord Burghley had claimed no such responsibility
for the counsels upon which the Queen acted. If necessary Lord
Burghley could plead the Queen's commands to justify his actions;
Walpole knew he could not plead the Queen's commands to justify his
conduct. He had to answer for his conduct to Parliament where he
was liable to criticism, censure and impeachment. To gain office
and to remain in office, Walpole needed the confidence of
Parliament as well as of the King.
Ever since 1942, when Carl Hempel declared that historical
events are explained by subsuming them under laws governing the
occurrence of similar events, philosophers have debated the
validity of explanations based on "covering laws." In The Logic of
Historical Explanation, Clayton Roberts provides a key to
understanding the role of covering laws in historical explanation.
He does so by distinguishing between their use at the macro- and
micro- levels, a distinction that no other scholar has made.
Roberts contends that the positivists were right to believe that
covering laws are indispensable in historical explanations but
wrong to think that these laws apply to macro-events (such as wars
and revolutions). Similarly, the humanists were right to declare
that historians do not explain the occurrence of macro-events by
subsuming them under covering laws but wrong to deny the role of
covering laws in tracing the course of events leading to the
macro-event. Roberts resolves this debate by showing that, though
useless in explaining macro-events, covering laws are indispensable
in connecting the steps in an explanatory narrative. He then sets
forth the logic of an explanatory narrative, explores the nature of
rational explanation, and distinguishes the logic of historical
interpretation from the logic of historical explanation.

Originally published in 1969, the documentary evidence of poverty
and malnutrition in the American South showcased in Still Hungry in
America still resonates today. The work was created to complement a
July 1967 U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Employment, Manpower, and
Poverty hearings on hunger in America. At those hearings, witnesses
documented examples of deprivation afflicting hundreds of thousands
of American families. The most powerful testimonies came from the
authors of this profoundly disturbing and important book. Al
Clayton's sensitive camerawork enabled the subcommittee members to
see the agonizing results of insufficient food and improper diet,
rendered graphically in stunted, weakened and fractured bones, dry,
shrunken, and ulcerated skin, wasting muscles, and bloated legs and
abdomens. Physician and child psychiatrist Robert Coles, who had
worked with these populations for many years, described with fierce
clarity the medical and psychological effects of hunger. Coles's
powerful narrative, reinforced by heartbreaking interviews with
impoverished people and accompanied by 101 photographs taken by
Clayton in Appalachia, rural Mississippi, and Atlanta, Georgia,
convey the plight of the millions of hungry citizens in the most
affluent nation on earth. A new foreword by historian Thomas J.
Ward Jr. analyzes food insecurity among today's rural and urban
poor and frames the current crisis in the American diet not as a
scarcity of food but as an overabundance of empty calories leading
to obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
