The naming of Dandelion Crater as a lunar navigation point by the Apollo 15 crew establishes the baseline for assessing Bradbury’s continuing role as a Space Age visionary and talisman. The chapter offers deeper context through a brief summary of his earlier rise to Space Program prominence as described in the previous volume, Ray Bradbury Unbound. As the Apollo program came to an end, Bradbury began work designing the basic ride concept and narrative for what would become Spaceship Earth at Disney World’s EPCOT. Chapter 1 closes with the termination of Apollo, long-term setbacks in Disney’s Spaceship Earth planning efforts, and the effect of these twin disappointments on Bradbury.

Violent Relationship

Chapter 1 explores the key theoretical and empirical literature that guides the research project. It describes the pushes and pulls that women experience in relationships characterized by IPV/A and it outlines what we understand women need in the short term and long term after the dissolution of a violent relationship. This chapter also incorporates a discussion of central thematic concepts such as growth, healing from trauma, individual agency and collective efficacy, identity, and meaning making. I challenge the false, or incomplete, assumption that there is some kind of closure for women after leaving a violent relationship. Finally, it looks at what it means to be “resilient.”

Chapter 1 looks at Bernstein’s writings on musical meaning, national style, and jazz to reveal the philosophy behind his use of jazz and its significance as a part of his long-term project to define American musical identity. A definition of the jazz idiom, according to Bernstein’s understanding, is interwoven with three important strands of Bernstein’s musical thinking: the primacy of tonality, the value of music as a unique form of human communication, and the formation of national identity in music. The chapter focuses particularly on Bernstein’s Harvard honors thesis, the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures (published as The Unanswered Question), and The Joy of Music.

The long-term success of e-government initiatives is of paramount importance, especially for developing countries, which face challenges such as limited budget, donor dependence, transfer of technology, short-term involvement of non-local agents, and relatively unstable political and economic environment. Although e-government success and sustainability are both relevant concepts to assess IT-enabled administrative processes in practice, e-government research has not yet elaborated the two concepts in an integrated fashion. Depending on review of the extant literature, this chapter (1) clarifies the concepts of e-government success and sustainability, (2) provides a conceptualization, which unfolds for both concepts the most used sub-concepts and constructs in terms of enablers and evaluation criteria, and (3) proposes an integrated research agenda for studying the interrelation of both concepts in detail.

Long Term Impact

The Crown’s dependence upon the gentry to govern the provinces grew during the sixteenth century and education and family connections became the key routes to public service. Chapter 1 explores Herbert’s birth, upbringing, and educational background and their long-term impact upon his character, public career, and private life. It considers the ambitions of his parents for their first-born son and the role played by his mother and Newport grandmother in shaping the early development of his elite masculine values, commitment to the preservation of family honour, and Protestant beliefs and practice. It examines Herbert’s enthusiasm for study, his classical education under the supervision of private tutors, and his experience of university education and socialization in late-Tudor Oxford. It probes the repercussions of his father’s untimely death, the arrangements for his wardship, his acceptance at age fifteen of an ambitious but ultimately unhappy marriage to an older Herbert heiress, and the family’s relocation to London.

This was an optional course and could be taken by BSc students in their third year, MChem students variously in third or fourth years, and also by postgraduate students (MSc or MPhil). Mine was the first half of the course, its more general section. The course had a high uptake. The majority of the assessment was through a two-hour examination, but a significant component was by two short literature projects. Within each half of the course a small group (about four students) were given a topic about which they would provide a joint report (a three-page report as a pdf file) and five-minute presentation to the class using PowerPoint or pdf files. The assessment was based on criteria for the report, the presentation, and by peer assessment of their colleagues’ contributions. For this section of the course the topic was a particular element. For the allocated element the supply, production, application, long-term hazards, and possible alternatives were to be addressed. The reason for this is that it is a topic that needed to be owned by personal investigation....
