"The Origins of Women's Higher Education in America "examines female education in the United States from the early national period through the formation of the institutions that are widely recognized as the forerunners of the women's college movement. Margaret A. Nash argues that in this period education was not as strongly gendered as other historians have posited. The rising rhetoric of human rights, Enlightenment thought, and evangelical Christianity, in an age of dynamic economic change, helped build a broad ideological base for the spread of female education. Education was key to the project of class formation, and therefore, Nash contends, class and race were more salient than gender in the construction of educational institutions.

A weak economy prompts a young, newly married couple from the Chicago suburbs to leave all that is familiar and stake out a new life far from home.

Exposing both fragility and strength, the clues to their questions are found in the most unexpected ways.

Natural gas production from hydrocarbon-rich shale formation, known as "shale gas", is one of the most rapidly expanding trends in onshore domestic oil and gas exploration and production today. In some areas, this has included bringing drilling and production to regions of the country that have seen little or no activity in the past. New oil and gas developments bring changes to the environmental and socio-economic landscape, particularly in those areas where gas development is a new activity. With these changes have come questions about the nature of shale gas development, the potential environmental impacts, and the ability of the current regulatory structure to deal with this development. This book discusses geologic information on the shale gas basins in the U.S. and the methods of shale gas development, as well as the regulatory framework and the environmental considerations associated with shale gas development.
