This handbook for professionals presents an array of techniques for
teaching and reinforcing social skills for successful
relationships. It contains over 70 new structured exercises that
can be used to help individuals, dyads, families, and groups become
happier in their relationships. The exercises come complete with
step-by-step instructions for easy use. Structured Exercises for
Promoting Family and Group Strengths is a goldmine of resources for
group leaders and counselors. You can use it in planning and
conducting workshops and retreats or for working with individuals
or families in counseling. The book saves you time and energy as
each exercise is accompanied by suggestions for procedures,
variations, and trainer's notes. The exercises, which have all been
field tested with a variety of audiences, are grouped into six
broad categories: Icebreakers introduce people to the subject of
group dynamics and to each other in a workshop setting. Assessors
help people assess relationships and gain insight for constructive
change. Dyad/couple discussion starters facilitate communication
and open dialogue for dyads who find themselves in dysfunctional
situations. Group/family discussion starters strengthen
communication within groups or families and increase understanding
of how the group functions. Enhancers aid in the development of
positive regard of self and others. Energizers perk up the group or
family when fatigue occurs. The exercises provide an experiential
approach to learning in which each participant is actively and
creatively involved. Readers will find that these
relationship-enhancing exercises offer a catalyst for dramatic
change in the lives of individuals, dyads, families, and groups.
Structured Exercises for Promoting Family and Group Strengths is a
valuable sourcebook of ideas for use by persons in the helping
professions, including counselors, psychologists, marriage and
family therapists, social workers, chaplains, corrections officers,
and educators.
This symposium was a joint effort, co-sponsored by Northwestern
University and Borg-Warner Corporation and included representatives
of the latter-day estates of univerSity, industry, and government.
All of these groups were deeply interested in participating, since
the problems of man and his environment, especially his urban
environ ment, are ones which can be solved only through a
cooperative effort. The symposium proceedings present a review of
the present position of man and his environment and outline the
physical and social-science efforts being made to solve the
problems posed by man's rapidly changing environment. The format of
this book is such that Dr. Luther L. Terry's speech, "Environmental
Health: Every body's Business," serves as an introduction to the
many-faceted dis cussions on the interactions of man and his
environment. Mr. P. B. Gordon's speech "Man and His Environment -
Where Are We? Where Are We Going"?" aptly summarizes this symposium
and serves this purpose in this publication. Every effort was
exerted to make this symposium a general dis cussion meeting where
contributions from both the formal speakers and the audience were
received. The records of two panel discussions, including comments
from the floor and replies by the speakers, are included in this
volume. This publication is the result of the coordinated efforts
of many contributors: the speakers, Northwestern University,
Borg-Warner Corporation, the Symposium Planning Committee
consisting of D. W."
From July 10th through July 13th, 1994, an informal workshop
co-organized by RILEM committees 116-PCD and 123-MME was held at
Saint-Remy-Ies Chevreuse, France, and attended by 38 delegates from
16 countries. Twenty-nine papers were presented, converging the
general subjects of modelling micro structures and predicting
durability of concrete and other cement-based materials. A short
summary follows: G. M. Idom's paper entitled "Modelling Research
for Concrete Engineering" serves as an introduction to the
workshop, presenting an overview of modelling research with the
conelusion that the broad practica1 objective is to produce
high-quality concrete. This means that many characteristics,
ranging from rheology to alkali-silica reaction, must be modelled.
In other words, the system must be understood. Idom's paper sets
the stage for papers in two general areas: 1) models and 2)
transport properties. After this, abrief survey of the develop ment
of microstructurally-based models is presented. A elose
relationship between computer power and speed is suggested. The
first group of papers on models covers the subjects of scale and
resolution. Most models define and predict characteristics of the
pore system, which range in scale from nanometer to millimeter.
Various types ofnetworks are proposed in these papers. A good
microstructural model must describe the pores and other phases at
ascale appropriate to the properties that the model predicts. Also,
a good model should be based on fundamental knowledge. In the case
of cement-based materials, the important properties may depend on
the microstructure, especially the porosity, at several scales."

Nanotechnology -- a term encompassing the science, engineering, and
applications of submicron materials -- involves the harnessing of
unique physical, chemical, and biological properties of nanoscale
substances in fundamentally new and useful ways. The economic and
societal promise of nanotechnology has led to substantial and
sustained investments by governments and companies around the
world. In 2000, the United States launched the world's first
national nanotechnology program. Since then, the federal government
has invested more than $8 billion in nanoscale science,
engineering, and technology through the U.S. National
Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). U.S. companies and state
governments have invested billions more. As a result of this focus
and these investments, the United States has, in the view of many
experts, emerged as a global leader in nanotechnology. However, the
competition for global leadership in nanotechnology is intensifying
as countries and companies around the world increase their
investments. Nanotechnology's complexity and intricacies, early
stage of development (with commercial pay-off possibly years away),
and broad scope of potential applications engender a wide range of
public policy issues.
Dr. Jennings states that his purpose in The Universe and Life is to
“try to show what positive outlook on life and the world is given
by the study of biological science; and how this differs, if at
all, from the outlook based on physics, or from the outlook
presented in some of the religions of the world.” He
believes that the study of biology aids in getting a unified view
of the universe and of man in his relations with it, and that it
helps particularly in the problems of managing life, the problems
of conduct, and in the determination of our attitude toward the
world. Did life always exist? Does development
produce what is really new? Do feelings, ideas, and
knowledge have a function in the world? Was what occurs
today predictable before life came into the world? Is man
indispensable to the advancement of life? Does the study of
biology lead to the belief that life tends toward a goal that is
already existent? Does it lead to the divine right of the
aristocrat? Do individuals continue to live after the event
we call death? Professor Jennings sets forth his answers to
these and other provocative questions in simple and clear-cut
style, and concludes that life “is progressing in the present as
it has in the past. In the future it may be expected to
advance as it has done in the past—to heights that no one can
predict, to which no one can set limits.”
