Flora White: In the Vanguard of Gender Equity draws on a collection
of personal papers (only recently made available to scholars) to
present the life of a colorful New England educator who lived from
the Civil War to the Cold War. Throughout her career, White worked
to promote the physical and intellectual growth of girls and young
women beyond the narrow gender stereotypes of the day. Although
White's name is not a household word, this book represents a newer
form of biography in which the life of a lesser-known individual
serves as a lens for understanding larger social and cultural
developments. In Flora White's case, this newer biographical
approach produced findings to inform research in both educational
history and gender studies. For example, White's papers correct
some longstanding misconceptions about the origins of the
progressive education movement and the role women played in it.
White's sources also shed light on the complicated relationships of
educated (but marginalized) U.S. women and the prominent men who
mentored them. In addition, White's papers show that--in order to
protect herself from those who might find her words
objectionable-she used coded language (such as poetry) to counter
sexist stereotypes and advance her desire for a fuller life for her
students and herself. Although, upon her death, a newspaper
obituary praised White for being recognized by "men of note" in
educational circles, her efforts to promote the physical and
intellectual development of girls and women helped to create
opportunity that is still unfolding today.
Is there any way to talk theologically about the Trinity and place?
What might the 'placedness' of creation have to do with God's
triunity? In The Place of the Spirit, Sarah Morice-Brubaker
considers how anxieties about place have influenced Trinitarian
theology - both what it is asked to do and the language in which it
is expressed. When one is nervous about collapsing God into created
horizons, she suggests, one is apt to come up with a model of
Trinity that refuses place. Distance becomes a primary way of
situating the divine persons in relations to each other.
Conversely, theologians who wish to avoid a too-remote God likewise
recruit Trinitarian language to suit that purpose. They, too, use
language that encourages the importance of place, expressing
triunity in terms of coinherence and mutual indwelling. And yet,
suggests Morice- Brubaker, the question has received full-on
attention in other areas of ethics, philosophy, and systematic
theology. The Place of the Spirit calls for Trinitarian thought to
avail itself of those insights and offers some ways in which it may
do so.

A comprehensive review of the scientific and clinical aspects of
acute and chronic cough, this reference focuses on recent
developments in our understanding of the molecular biology of
putative cough receptors, the neural mechanisms involved in the
afferent and efferent limbs, the central processing of the cough
reflex, and peptides and other substances that may mediate or
modulate the cough reflex. With chapters written by acknowledged
authorities in the field, this handbook covers current and
potential therapeutic agents, various methodologies to measure
cough reflex sensitivity, and clinical approaches for the
assessment of chronic cough in adults and children.
Coordinate Colleges for American Women: A Convergence of Interests,
1947-78 explores the history of the coordinate college-a separate
school of higher learning for women connected to an older, all-male
institution. This book places special emphasis on three (previously
all-male) liberal arts colleges located in the Midwest and upstate
New York. They established women's coordinate colleges in the years
following World War II, but ended them by 1980, becoming fully
coeducational. The author draws on new primary sources to show
that, in each case, a coordinate college was created to meet the
converging interests of the founding institution-not to improve the
education of women. The work is set in the context of four major
social movements during the mid-to-late twentieth century involving
civil rights, student rights, antiwar protest, and women's
liberation.
This book brings together 10 experiments which introduce historical
perspectives into mathematics classrooms for 11 to 18-year-olds.
The authors suggest that students should not only read ancient
texts, but also should construct, draw and manipulate. The
different chapters refer to ancient Greek, Indian, Chinese and
Arabic mathematics as well as to contemporary mathematics. Students
are introduced to well-known mathematicians-such as Gottfried
Leibniz and Leonard Euler-as well as to less famous practitioners
and engineers. Always, there is the attempt to associate the
experiments with their scientific and cultural contexts. One of the
main values of history is to show that the notions and concepts we
teach were invented to solve problems. The different chapters of
this collection all have, as their starting points, historic
problems-mathematical or not. These are problems of exchanging and
sharing, of dividing figures and volumes as well as engineers'
problems, calculations, equations and congruence. The mathematical
reasoning which accompanies these actions is illustrated by the use
of drawings, folding, graphical constructions and the production of
machines.

Jean Renoir directs this musical comedy drama set amidst the
glittering nightlife of late 19th-century Paris. Jean Gabin stars
as theatre impresario Henri Danglard, who plans to base his new
club - the Moulin Rouge - around a modern reinvention of
traditional cancan dancing. To this end, he hires pretty young
washerwoman Nini (Francoise Arnoul) with a view to harnessing her
natural talents and making her the star of the show. But Henri's
attentions to Nini soon ignite the jealousy of his bellydancer
lover Lola (Maria Felix).
