Excerpt from Greenhouse and Field Fertilization of Thin-Leaved HuckleberryThe 1973 huckleberry season was extremely poor. This is attributed to two factors. An extremely cold week in early December, before the bushes were covered with snow, killed many of the buds, and a freeze in mid-june, when the bushes were in bloom, caused heavy flower drop. As there were no berries, no data on the effect of the fertilizer treatments on berry produc tion ...

The founding fathers were rebels against the British Parliament, Eric Nelson argues, not the Crown. As a result of their labors, the 1787 Constitution assigned its new president far more power than any British monarch had wielded for 100 years. On one side of the Atlantic were kings without monarchy, on the other, monarchy without kings.

Somewhere between where men and women seek red-eyed revenge and rolls in the hay lay the characters in Leverage, from the farm roads of mid-60's Texas to contemporary suburban New Jersey. As each of them wander in the pursuit of happiness and peace of mind, the American dream is made lucid at a fever pitch where schlub is king and the sun shines on a dog's ass from dusk until dawn. "At some early point in each of Leverage's seven stories, so...

At a time of great and increasing interest in the work of Emmanuel Levinas, this volume draws readers into what Levinas described as "philosophy itself"--"a discourse always addressed to another." Thus the philosopher himself provides the thread that runs through these essays on his writings, one guided by the importance of the fact of being addressed--the significance of the Saying much more than the Said. The authors, leading Levinas scholar...

Take the classroom outdoors--a place where children can explore, experiment, and initiate their own activities.

A focus on HSI reveals strategic considerations to rethink the use of the Air Force's preferred organizational construct for the acquisitions.

Winner of the Gival Press Poetry Award "In his powerful new collection, Some Wonder, Eric Nelson takes his reader 'abroad' (and beyond) in the most refined sense of those directives. He takes us deeply into experience and into the uniqueness of place. The language is lucid, lyrical, and exactly narrative. Yet the mystery of small moments is everywhere present: in each stanza, every poem." -Katherine Soniat "Don't miss reading this terrific boo...

The Greek Tradition in Republic Thought completely rewrites the standard history of republican political theory. It excavates an identifiably Greek strain of republican thought which attaches little importance to freedom as non-dependence and sees no intrinsic value in political participation. This tradition's central preoccupations are not honour and glory, but happiness (eudaimonia) and justice - defined, in Plato's terms, as the rule of the...
