Does Sharing Know Its Limits? Thoughts On Implementing International Environmental Agreements: A Review Of National Environmental Policies, A Comparative Study Of Capacity-Building, Mark A. Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

When nations lack capacity,they may find themselves unable to implement policy decisions. In such situations, even the most grandiose of edicts and transformative of enactments remain hortatory, modifying only the paper upon which they are written. Lack of capacity has been particularly troublesome in environmental policy. Many environmental commitments remain more apparent than real, often notoriously so. As a result, many pronouncements in favor of the polluter-pays-principle, sustainable development, and the precautionary principle are, notwithstanding good intentions, often simply not applied in practice. As environmental problems are increasingly perceived as global in effect, the responses thereto tend to be multilateral …

21-An Intensive Archaeological Survey Of The James And Ellen G. White House Site (20ca118), Battle Creek, Michigan, Hidetsugu Kosaka, Michael S. Nassaney, Carol Nickolai, William Sauck, Daniel Sayers, Brian C. Wilson

Archaeological Reports

An intensive archaeological survey was conducted at the James and Ellen G. White House site (20CA118) in Battle Creek, Michigan over a seven-week period from May 4-June 24, 1998. The house is a well-known local landmark that was occupied from 1856-1863 by a family that was instrumental in founding the Seventh-day Adventist denominational movement. Although the original site has been subdivided and subjected to significant modification since the third quarter of the 19th century, the 1856 wood-frame Greek Revival house remains extant. Investigations were oriented towards identifying the presence of subsurface archaeological remains and site features that can inform about …

Children's Folklore, Brian Sutton-Smith, Jay Mechling, Thomas W. Johnson, Felicia R. Mcmahon

All USU Press Publications

A collection of original essays by scholars from a variety of fields—including American studies, folklore, anthropology, psychology, sociology, and education—Children's Folklore: A Source Book moves beyond traditional social-science views of child development. It reveals the complexity and artistry of interactions among children, challenging stereotypes of simple childhood innocence and conventional explanations of development that privilege sober and sensible adult outcomes. Instead, the play and lore of children is shown to be often disruptive, wayward, and irrational. The contributors variably con-sider and demonstrate "contextual" and "textual" ways of studying the folklore of children. Avoiding a narrow definition of the subject, they …

Passions, Pedagogies, And 21st Century Technologies, Gail E. Hawisher, Cynthia L. Selfe

All USU Press Publications

Once again, Gail Hawisher and Cynthia Selfe offer a volume that will set the agenda in the field of computers and composition scholarship for a decade. The technology changes that scholars of composition studies face as the next century opens couldn't be more dramatic or deserving of passionate study. While we have always used technologies (e.g., the pencil) to communicate with each other, the electronic technologies we now use have changed the world in ways that we have yet to identify or appreciate fully. Likewise, the study of language and literate exchange, even our understanding of terms like literacy, text, …

Fingerprint Recognition Through Circular Sampling, David Chang

Theses

The uniqueness of the human fingerprint is considered to be one of the most reliable characteristics for personal identification. Considering that we leave them on nearly all of the surfaces we touch, they become valuable to those in law enforcement for identifying perpetrators of a crime. However, the matching of a single fingerprint with the millions that have been cataloged proves to be a difficult task. This study presents an alternate method to fingerprint recognition by way of a spatial re-sampling of the pattern through concentric circles. With this approach, the concentric circular samples have rotation invariant features while a …

Confessions Of A Chameleon, 1983-1991, Edward A. Geary

John Keats coined the term "negative capability" to describe a poet's ability to present his or her material objectively and impersonally. The poet with negative capability, Keats declared, "has no character" and takes "as much delight in conceiving an Iago as an Imogen. What shocks the virtuous philosopher, delights the camelion Poet." Negative capability is probably an optional quality for poets, but it is almost essential for editors—except, of course, those few who deliberately make their publications a sounding board for their own opinions. For the most part, an editor's job is to make other people look good. To the …

Scripture As Word Of God: Evangelical Assumption Or Evangelical Question?, John D. Morrison

Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary (1973-2015)

Examines the views of D. Bloesch, G. Fackre, and C. Pinnock. Indicates their disjunctive positions introduce ontological and epistemological dualism into the doctrine of revelation. Takes Packer's view of the Bible as the Word of God written, affirming that the human languages used to reflect God's person and work are competent to do so. Finds Wolterstorff's answer to Barth and John Baillie insightful, but we must move past his views to the full-orbed acceptance of the Word of God as written to avoid negating propositional revelation.
