Developing international guidance to make impact assessment follow-up happen – reflections on an interactive design process
To advance impact assessment (IA) practice worldwide the International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA) has long promoted and published a series of international best practice principles, including the recently revised best practice principles for IA follow-up. IA follow-up refers to any kind of undertaking that seeks to ‘understand the outcomes of projects or plans’ that have been subject to IA. To support the implementation of these pri…
Théorie critique de la propagande
La publication en 2013 d'une version reconstruite du texte de Kracauer Die totalitäre Propaganda (1937-1938) a renouvelé la perception que l’on pouvait avoir de cette dimension de son œuvre et de son apport à une « théorie critique de la propagande ». La réflexion sur la propagande s’inscrit dans le contexte plus vaste de l’élaboration par les exilés allemands, au tournant des années 1930-1940, d’une grille de lecture du national-socialisme, vu c…

A COUPLE from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, reentered the United States following a belated honeymoon in Canada.They crossed northeastern Vermont before entering New Hampshire at Colebrook, where they dined at a small caf e.Although road weary and seventy miles from home, Barney calculated that they could reach Portsmouth by 3:00 A.M. and endeavored to drive straight through.Leaving the restaurant, Barney pointed their 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air south o…
The significance spectrum and EIA significance determinations
The concept of significance is fundamental to environmental impact assessment (EIA). Even though there are many guidelines describing technical characteristics of impacts (such as magnitude, geographic extent, extent and frequency) that should be considered, there has remained a long-standing need for increased clarity on how significance determinations are ultimately reached by significance determiners, those who, on behalf of governments, make …
Risky recreation
The purpose of this research was to systematically examine factors that may influence participation in risky recreational activities. Because more people participate in risky leisure activities, it is important to acquire a more in-depth understanding of the factors influencing their behaviours. We examine these issues in the context of a survey concerned with participation in the sport of mountain biking. Results revealed that experience influen…

Radiocarbon Dating of Copper-Preserved Organics
The small but vital role of 14 C dating in archaeometric research is clearly shown in the copper project reported herein. The 14 C ages place a time perspective on the “Old Copper Culture Complex,” substantiating early Libby dates that had been questioned. The respective roles of INAA, PGE and Pb isotope work are briefly summarized. A long tradition of heat treatment from Paleoindian stone to Archaic copper is suggested
Republican Politics
Dissemination of Knowledge in the Humanities and Social Sciences
The Project has reached the experimental teaching stage with its first book, The Emergence of Civilization.Written by Jack Ellison with the assistance of many area specialists, this material is being taught in eleven schools (six in or near Chicago, one each in Minneapolis, East Lansing, Urbana, Newton, and Hanover).Each experimenting teacher received a set of four museum reproductions and a series of 72 slides on material from the six civilizati…
The Four North Walls of Jerusalem
Notice of the Hospital of St Martha at Aberdour, Fife
This author tracks the history of the Hospital of St Martha in Aberdour from the earliest mention of the 'Pilgrim's Well', a holy well believed to heal the sick, through the Earl of Morton granting the surrounding acreage to the church and finally the appointment of four of the sisters of St Francis to run the hospital. The circumstances of the return of the land is also noted and the author concludes with some comments about the location and use…
