Comprehensive and authoritative history of Corby and Great Oakley,
charting their growth and development from the early medieval
period to the present day. Lying in north Northamptonshire, close
to the borders with Leicestershire and Rutland, the neighbouring
parishes of Corby and Great Oakley were formerly part of the
ancient administrative division of Corby hundred. Both
remainedagricultural villages, typical of much of rural
Northamptonshire before 1932 when the landscape of the area was
dramatically altered by large-scale industrialisation associated
with the production of iron and steel following the discovery of
rich ironstone deposits to the north and east of Corby village.
Corby was most directly affected by these changes, with the parish
experiencing a dramatic rise in population after the Stewarts &
Lloyds Company chose toconcentrate their entire steel producing
operation there. Between 1932 and 1950, the increasing population
resulted in the hasty construction, firstly by the Stewarts &
Lloyds Company and later by the Corby UDC, of housing estates on
former agricultural land adjacent to the steelworks, before Corby
was designated a New Town in April 1950 and responsibility for it
passed to the Corby Development Corporation. From this point on,
Great Oakley was inexorablydrawn into the expanding new town as it
spread southwards, eventually being incorporated firstly into Corby
urban district in1967 and in 1993 into Corby Borough. Although
Corby is perhaps best known for the social problems or"New Town
Blues" that blighted it after the steelworks (the town's principal
employer) closed in 1980, this volume documents the lesser known
medieval and early modern history of Corby and Great Oakley; it
shows how generations of inhabitants utilised the rich natural
geology and the abundant woodland to supplement the local agrarian
economy, before examining in detail Corby's industrialisation,
physical and economic growth, post-industrial decline and
21st-century regeneration. Mark Page is Assistant Editor, Victoria

" The problems and needs of rural substance abusers vary from
those of abusers in urban areas. Accordingly, the means of
treatment must acknowledge and address these differences. Despite
this call for specialized care, no theoretically grounded therapy
has yet been made available to rural patients. Behavioral Therapy
for Rural Substance Abusers, developed and piloted over three years
by University of Kentucky faculty and staff and substance abuse
counselors in rural eastern Kentucky, provides a model for
effective treatment for this segment of the population. A two-phase
outpatient treatment, this approach combines group and individual
sessions in an environment that is both comfortable and useful for
the client. The success of this method lies in its regional
approach to therapy. Rather than using role-playing techniques to
examine old behaviors, therapy is designed around storytelling
activities. Rural patients respond more positively to such
time-honored traditions and thus become active participants in
their own treatment. This manual offers a clear and
well-constructed guide through the strategies of Structured
Behavioral Outpatient Rural Therapy (SBORT). Supplemented with
illustrations, sample exercises, and case studies, Behavioral
Therapy for Rural Substance Abusers is a vital tool in meeting the
treatment needs of an otherwise ignored rural population.
Johan Huizinga’s much-loved and much-contested Autumn of the
Middle Ages, first published in 1919, encouraged an image of the
Late French Middle Ages as a flamboyant but empty period of decline
and nostalgia. Many studies, particularly literary studies, have
challenged Huizinga’s perceptions of individual works or genres.
Still, the vision of the Late French and Burgundian Middle Ages as
a sad transitional phase between the High Middle Ages and the
Renaissance persists. Yet, a series of exceptionally significant
cultural developments mark the period. The Waxing of the Middle
Ages sets out to provide a rich, complex, and diverse study of
these developments and to reassert that late medieval
France is crucial in its own right. The collection argues for
an approach that views the late medieval period not as an
afterthought, or a blind spot, but as a period that is key in
understanding the fluidity of time, traditions, culture, and
history. Each essay explores some “cultural form,” to borrow
Huizinga’s expression, to expose the false divide that has
dominated modern scholarship.

This text teaches the techniques needed to analyze algorithms.
Organized by analysis techniques, The Analysis of Algorithms
includes a systematic and largely self-contained treatment of the
mathematics needed for elementary and intermediate analyses, as
well as brief guides to the sources for more advanced techniques.
Each technique is illustrated by being applied to the analysis of a
realistic algorith. The authors provide explicit guidance on the
use of various methods-for example, the discussion of mathematical
induction emphasizes the process of finding the induction
hypothesis, and the chapter on formulas for simplifying summations
includes a section on deciding which formulas to apply. Many of the
exercises give the student an opportunity to apply the techniques
in developing original algorithm analyses.
