By the end of 1930, a crucial shift had taken place in Gurdjieff’s teaching. He had effectively closed his French operations to concentrate on his writing, and, although it was probably not his intention, he had significantly reduced the operations of the groups that A. R. Orage had been maintaining for him in the United States. Orage had been developing Gurdjieff’s tasks into disciplines and now wanted to produce more developed exercises. Gurdjieff took over that line of research and teaching, but alienated Orage. The first traces of the new theories and methods are found in the often overlooked booklet The Herald of Coming Good.

Throughout the United States, many institutions of higher education own forested tracts, often called school forests, which they use for teaching, research, and demonstration purposes. These school forests provide a range of benefits to the communities in which they are located. However, because administration is often decoupled from research and teaching, those benefits might not always be evident to the individuals who make decisions about the management and use of school forests, which may undervalue their services and put these areas at risk for sale, development, or over-harvesting to generate revenue. To understand what messages are being conveyed about the value and relevance of school forests, we conducted a systematic literature review and qualitatively coded the resulting literature content using an ecosystem services framework. While school forests provide many important benefits to academic and local communities, we found that most of the existing literature omits discussions about cultural ecosystem services that people may receive from school forests. We discuss the implications of this omission and make recommendations for addressing it.

Interdisciplinary Scholarship

IN the United States, theorising about law has flourished. There has been an increase in the “market share” of theoretically oriented articles in leading law reviews, a proliferation of specialised journals devoted to interdisciplinary approaches to law and much more frequent citation of theoretical scholarship in legal literature. The interdisciplinary movement in legal thought has prompted a strong backlash. Fears have been expressed that “impractical” scholars are doing the legal profession and law students a disservice by pursuing “abstract” theory at the expense of engaging in analysis of legal doctrine.Interdisciplinary scholarship is growing in prominence in Britain. If this trend continues, the experience in the United States suggests that concerns could arise about the practical value of academic law, both inside and outside the classroom. As a result, this is a suitable occasion to assess whether theoretical analysis can make a valuable contribution both with respect to research and teaching. This essay advances the thesis that thinking about law in interdisciplinary terms has a beneficial influence on academic writing and should lead to improvements in the classroom. The case in favour of the use of theory is set out in general terms and is then illustrated by considering a field often thought to be primarily technical and “vocational” in nature, namely company law.

The 19Th Century

This chapter seeks to understand the context and sequelae of Justus Liebig’s model for university research and teaching. This model was arguably the most important single element in the international rise of graduate education and research, not just in chemistry, but more broadly, over the course of the 19th century, in all academic fields. This chapter avoids hagiography by employing an eclectic approach that places emphasis on contingencies of time, place, and discipline, and briefly examines the results of the story not just in Germany, but also in France, Britain, and the United States.

The sixth annual APSA Africa Workshop was conducted in partnership with the Institute for Governance and Development (IGD) in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, from July 1 to 12. The event is part of a multiyear initiative to support political science research and teaching in Sub-Saharan Africa through a series of residential political science workshops at African universities and research institutions. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Africa Workshops program is a major component of APSA's efforts to engage with political science communities outside the United States and support research networks linking US scholars with their colleagues overseas.

Number Of Individuals

The Committee for the year consisted of seven members: J. D. Clark, Chairman; Glen H. Cole; Brian M. Fagan; W. Creighton Gabel; F. Clark Howell; Glynn L. Isaac; and Frank Willett. On their taking up appointments in the United States, it was with pleasure that we welcomed, in January, Messrs. Fagan and Willett to the small group of archaeologists actively engaged on research in Africa. The two retiring members -- J. D. Clark and F. Clark Howell -- will be replaced on the Committee by C. M. Keller; W. Creighton Gabel has been appointed chairman for 1967-1968. During the past year the Committee has concerned itself with (1) collecting and regularly disseminating information on current research and teaching and on the interest generally in African archaeology in America; (2) promoting discussion on general developments and trends in African archaeology; (3) promoting urgent research projects in connection with dam construction; and (4) training and liaison. The results under each of these heads are described below. In order to discover the extent and nature of later archaeological (post “neolithic”) research presently in progress, a circular was distributed to a number of individuals both in Africa and in the United States. The response was excellent and resulted in valuable summaries of current work together with suggestions for future work. Most of the research is being done by local nationals and expeditions in Africa and, thanks to the regular meetings of the Pan-African Congress on Prehistory and Quaternary Studies, the majority are known to each other and are in regular communication. This circular supplements that previously distributed to individuals and institutions in this country, and its results have been mimeographed and circulated by the University of Illinois at Urbana.

During the last twenty years, as never before, there has been increasing interest in the study and research of Nahuatl language and culture. In this respect, the Seminario de Cultura nááhualt at UNAM has exercised considerable influence through its teaching and publications. Moreover, other Mexican institutions, such as the universities of Puebla, Morelos, Tlaxcala, Colima and the Veracruzana as well as the Escuela Nacional de Antropologíía e Historia, have centers where this research and teaching is conducted. The study of Nahuatl language and culture has also grown in the United States as well as in various European countries, such as France, Germany, Spain, Holland and Italy. The principal focus of this work has been linguistic as well as the publication and translation of Nahuatl texts. The “Nueva Palabra,”that is the expression in Nahualt by persons for whom it is its mother language, has also flourished during this period. Como nunca antes, durante los últimos veinte añños se ha incrementado el interéés por los trabajos de investigacióón en torno a la lengua y cultura nahuas. Considerable influencia ha tenido el Seminario de Cultura nááhuatl (UNAM) en sus aspectos de docencia y publicaciones. Hay ademáás otros centros en Mééxico donde se labora en este campo, como las universidades de Puebla, Morelos, Tlaxcala, Colima y la Veracruzana, asíí como la Escuela Nacional de Antropologíía e Historia. En los Estados Unidos se han desarrollado mucho estos estudios y otro tanto puede decirse de varios paííses europeos, en particular, Francia, Alemania, Españña, Holanda e Italia. Los trabajos principales han sido, unos de caráácter lingüíístico o de publicacióón de textos en nááhuatl con sus correspondientes versiones. En este lapso ha florecido la que se conoce como “Nueva Palabra”, es decir la expresióón en nááhuatl de personas que tienen esta lengua como materna.

Hump Reduction

AbstractClassic Joseph hump reduction techniques have been a hallmark of current rhinoplasty practice and teaching. Recently, there has been a renewed global interest in preservation rhinoplasty techniques, although these techniques are not new. The work and techniques of innovative surgeons including Goodale, Lothrop, and Cottle describing preservation concepts from the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century were not as prevalently adopted as open structural approaches. As such, there has been a relative paucity in both research and teaching of preservation techniques—particularly in the United States. A survey of members of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and The Rhinoplasty Society (145 respondents) demonstrates that while 15 (10%) of surgeons are not at all familiar with dorsal preservation surgery, 130 (90%) were. In the group that was familiar with dorsal preservation, the majority were only somewhat familiar (84, 65%) with these techniques. Only 11 respondents received any formal training in dorsal preservation techniques during residency or fellowship. 61 (42%) had attended a course or conference in which dorsal preservation techniques were discussed. One-hundred twenty-two survey respondents (84.1%) do not currently implement preservation techniques into their rhinoplasty practice. Twelve (8%) respondents implement it in <25% of cases, 5 (3%) in 25 to 50% of cases, and 6 (4%) in >50% of cases. As research and formal training in preservation rhinoplasty grow, familiarity and implementation of these techniques will likely also grow in the United States.

Reflecting on both the personal and intellectual factors that influenced this thematic cluster on space, place, and the making of modern Hungary, the authors situate themselves within the history of the post-socialist revival of geography in Hungary, outlining in particular emergent fields of study and new schools of thought that have transformed geographical research and teaching over the last decade. Having drawn together historians and geographers working in Hungary, Canada, and the United States, Part I of this two-part cluster represents an effort to bring different disciplinary streams and academic cultures into contact with one another, and has provided the authors with an opportunity to better survey the state of a very broad and dynamic field of study, and to identify and begin to address lacunae in their collaborative work.
