People Need to Know follows a group of students as they study the
defining event in their community's history - a 1930 lynching that
was captured in one of the century's most iconic and disturbing
photographs. With ambitions of contributing to public
understanding, the students set out to create a collection of
online resources about the lynching. As they encounter troubling
information and consider how best to present it to others, the
students come to better understand the complex ethical
ramifications of historical work and to more fully appreciate why
their learning matters. Through the stories of these students,
their teacher, and an author re-immersed in the town of his own
childhood, the book develops an approach to curriculum in which
students create products of value beyond the school walls. In a
time of educational standardization, when assignments and
assessments often fail to deliberately engage the ethically charged
and locally particular contexts of students' lives, Robert M. Lucas
proposes that we see learning in their creation and appreciation of
public value. The book will be of particular interest for courses
in curriculum studies and in history and social studies education.

This book provides careful readings of Aristophanes' Knights and
Assemblywomen, and shows that in considering both plays as a pair
each is better understood. While the Knights concerns the perfect
democratic ruler, the Assemblywomen is about the perfect democratic
law. The first close reading of these works and exploration of the
connection between them, Aristophanes' Male and Female Revolutions
not only illuminates these two plays, but also offers insight into
questions at the core of political life. Kenneth De Luca's detailed
analysis will be valuable to scholars of political philosophy,
classical studies, and democratic theory.
Structure your ministry to start with patients'needs, hopes, and
resources and to be clear what difference your ministry can make
Hospital chaplains value who they are and what they do as
contributions to patients'and families'healing and well-being. And
they are continually stretching to enhance their ministries.
Hospital administrators and other professionals on the care teams,
however, often need help to grasp those same values in outcome
oriented, observable, documentable, changes-for-the-better terms.
The Discipline for Pastoral Care Giving: Foundations for Outcome
Oriented Chaplaincy offers a powerful new paradigm for enhancing
supportive, effective spiritual care for patients and families as
well as communicating substantive outcomes to leaders and
clinicians alike. This is all the more important in these times
when every possible resource must be well used for the good of our
patients and their families.By evaluating the pastoral care you
offer, you can become more aware of the discrete skills you
exercise in the assessment, planning, intervention, and reflection
process. Such evaluation efforts highlight the discrete differences
excellent spiritual care makes. This can help you track
contributions you are making in terms of the patient's healing and
well-being. Having a sound, replicable way to make the process more
conscious also helps you communicate your assessment, strategies,
and contributions more clearly to other care team members.
Furthermore, consistently using The Discipline over time will
enable you to discover patterns of spiritual dynamics in how people
live with different health care challenges in their lives. These
patterns translate into valuable insights as your care for
others.The process discussed in The Discipline for Pastoral Care

needs, hopes, and resources construct a patient profile through
identifying the individual's sense of the holy, sense of meaning,
sense of hope, and sense of community design the desired outcome(s)
you hope your care will contribute--for example, a person who has
suffered a spinal cord injury integrates the effects of their

review, to compassionate confrontation, to reading Scripture, to
active listening, to arranging a family care conference) measure
outcomes, identifying and communicating the difference your care

Discipline for Pastoral Care Giving offers case studies, personal
experiences, helpful figures and charts, and suggestions for
dealing with patients experiencing unique, complex health care
challenges, including adults living with cystic fibrosis and
violent victims of violence. The wise advice and practical
suggestions in this book will help you recognize and document the
solid value of your hospital ministry.
Sexual Attraction in Therapy presents new findings from multiple
perspectives into the complex phenomenon of sexual attraction in
therapy. Detailed clinical examples and strategies from expert
contributors demonstrate how therapists can engage with sexual
attraction, when it arises, in positive ways that facilitate client
progress and ensure appropriate professional conduct. * Challenges
practitioners to think about sexual attraction as a normal dynamic
developing through the unique intimacy of the therapy encounter *
Presents new findings from research to enrich understanding of the
lived experience of therapists and how they confront, avoid, make
use of the process of sexual attraction * Provides clinical
examples to highlight common challenges faced by practitioners, the
strategies they use to overcome them and how they normalize the
taboo of sexual attraction to make positive use of it in therapy *
Makes an important contribution to current literature on
professional practice, an area of increasing importance as more
emphasis is placed on issues of ethics, ongoing supervision and
appropriate professional conduct * Expert contributors include
Doris McIlwain, Michael Worrell, John Sommers-Flanagan and Martin
Milton

Latest volume in a series which is "a monumental achievement"
(Review of English Studies) This volume provides detailed
descriptions of Middle English prose materials found in the
important manuscript collections of seven Cambridge Colleges:
Christ's, Emmanuel, Jesus, Selwyn and Sidney Sussex Colleges,
Peterhouse and Trinity Hall. The texts fall roughly into two
categories: religious and devotional, or scientific. The former
include Wycliffite New Testaments; Emmanuel College's complete
Wycliffite Bible; Richard Rolle's Commentary on the Psalms in
Sidney Sussex College, and, in Trinity Hall, the Twelve Conclusions
of the Lollards in a splendid manuscript designed for presentation
to Richard II. In the second category, there are several of
outstanding interest: Jesus College Q.G.23 is a beautifully
decorated English translation of the Chirurgie of Guy de Chauliac,
while Peterhouse MS 75 is the sole manuscript of The Equatorie of
the Planetis. As with all previousvolumes in the series, this
Handlist concludes with an alphabetical index of Incipits and
Explicits intended to form part of an eventual Index of Middle
English Prose. Angela M. Lucas is a Senior Member of Wolfson
College, Cambridge.

In this volume we present the accepted contributions for the 7th
European C- ference on Genetic Programming (EuroGP 2004). The
conference took place on 5 7 April 2004 in Portugal at the
University of Coimbra, in the Department of Mathematics in Pra, ca
Dom Dinis, located on the hill above the old town. EuroGP is a
well-established conference and the sole one exclusively de- ted to
Genetic Programming. Previous proceedings have all been published
by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. EuroGP began as an
international wor- hop in Paris, France in 1998 (14 15 April, LNCS
1391). Subsequently the wor- hop was held in G] oteborg, Sweden in
1999 (26 27 May, LNCS 1598) and then EuroGP became an annual
conference: in 2000 in Edinburgh, UK (15 16 April, LNCS 1802), in
2001 at Lake Como, Italy (18 19 April, LNCS 2038), in 2002 in
Kinsale, Ireland (3 5 April, LNCS 2278), and in 2003 in Colchester,
UK (14 16 April, LNCS 2610). From the outset, there have always
been specialized wor- hops, co-located with EuroGP, focusing on
applications of evolutionary al- rithms (LNCS 1468, 1596, 1803,
2037, 2279, and 2611). This year the EvoCOP workshop on
combinatorial optimization transformed itself into a conference in
its own right, and the two conferences, together with the
EvoWorkshops, EvoBIO, EvoIASP, EvoMUSART, EvoSTOC, EvoHOT, and
EvoCOMNET, now form one of the largest events dedicated to
Evolutionary Computation in Europe."
Research on general video game playing aims at designing agents or
content generators that can perform well in multiple video games,
possibly without knowing the game in advance and with little to no
specific domain knowledge. The general video game AI framework and
competition propose a challenge in which researchers can test their
favorite AI methods with a potentially infinite number of games
created using the Video Game Description Language. The open-source
framework has been used since 2014 for running a challenge.
Competitors around the globe submit their best approaches that aim
to generalize well across games. Additionally, the framework has
been used in AI modules by many higher-education institutions as
assignments, or as proposed projects for final year (undergraduate
and Master's) students and Ph.D. candidates. The present book,
written by the developers and organizers of the framework, presents
the most interesting highlights of the research performed by the
authors during these years in this domain. It showcases work on
methods to play the games, generators of content, and video game
optimization. It also outlines potential further work in an area
that offers multiple research directions for the future.
