The Lincoln Highway across Indiana

The Lincoln Highway across Indiana explores Indiana’s unique role in Lincoln Highway history and celebrates Indiana’s place in early automotive and road-building history. Once known as the “Main Street of America,” the Lincoln Highway route was established across northern Indiana in 1913, linking larger cities—Fort Wayne, Elkhart, Goshen, South Bend, LaPorte, and Valparaiso—to smaller communities. Most Lincoln Highway towns renamed their main streets Lincolnway in recognition of the nation’s first coast-to-coast auto road. When the Lincoln Highway Association shortened the route in 1926, the route linked Fort Wayne to Columbia City, Warsaw, and Plymouth, giving the state two Lincoln Highway routes. From Fort Wayne to the famous Ideal Section, between Dyer and Schererville, Indiana’s Lincolnway towns remain proudly connected to Lincoln Highway history. Through vintage photographs, postcards, advertisements, and other historical records, this armchair tour of the highway visits sites favored by early tourists, documents the people and places that made the highway a vital corridor, and celebrates Hoosier Carl Fisher’s leadership in the formation of the Lincoln Highway Association, as well as the people who work to preserve its legacy today.

The Ligonier Lincoln Highway consuls were W. H. Wigton, who built the
Zimmerman Block, and Walter Robinson, who owned the Lincoln Highway
Garage at the turning point of the Lincoln Highway at Cavin and Lincolnway. The
Lincoln Highway Garage was marked with huge logos and served as the control
station. Gas was available at the curb and tuneups were found inside. The
garage crew paid special attention to tourists' needs. (Courtesy of the Ligonier

The Book of Nothing

A Song of Enlightenment

"The Book of Nothing, " or "Hsin Hsin Ming, " was written in the sixth century by Sosan, the third Zen patriarch. Long cherished by seekers on the path as a study in spiritual perfection, it is presented here in a new translation that is both beautifully illustrated and highly readable.

The Love Poems of Rumi

Rumi is renowned as one of the world's most popular mystical poets. The beauty and romance of his glorious verses on divine love have endeared us to this Persian master. These verses are not simply poetry; they reflect the heart and soul of an individual who has totally embraced God through the Sufi path of love.

Logic Minimization Algorithms for VLSI Synthesis

The roots of the project which culminates with the writing of this book can be traced to the work on logic synthesis started in 1979 at the IBM Watson Research Center and at University of California, Berkeley. During the preliminary phases of these projects, the impor tance of logic minimization for the synthesis of area and performance effective circuits clearly emerged. In 1980, Richard Newton stirred our interest by pointing out new heuristic algorithms for two-level logic minimization and the potential for improving upon existing approaches. In the summer of 1981, the authors organized and participated in a seminar on logic manipulation at IBM Research. One of the goals of the seminar was to study the literature on logic minimization and to look at heuristic algorithms from a fundamental and comparative point of view. The fruits of this investigation were surprisingly abundant: it was apparent from an initial implementation of recursive logic minimiza tion (ESPRESSO-I) that, if we merged our new results into a two-level minimization program, an important step forward in automatic logic synthesis could result. ESPRESSO-II was born and an APL implemen tation was created in the summer of 1982. The results of preliminary tests on a fairly large set of industrial examples were good enough to justify the publication of our algorithms. It is hoped that the strength and speed of our minimizer warrant its Italian name, which denotes both express delivery and a specially-brewed black coffee.

The proof (omitted) follows from the fact that each cube of F must be orthogonal to
all the cubes of F. This translates directly into the statement that each row of M is
a column cover of M. 3.6 Simplify We now illustrate the use of the unate recursive
paradigm to construct a heuristic minimization algorithm, SIMPLIFY. Even though
this is not one of the algorithms of ESPRESSO-II, we discuss it for illustrative
purposes, and also because it has proven to be an extremely valuable algorithm

Action Research Primer

Despite the fact that publishers and policy-makers have had increasing influence over classrooms, it is the teacher who must make decisions on a minute-by-minute basis about what will help specific students learn. Similarly, local administrators must make key decisions at the school and district level that will best serve particular communities of teachers, students, and parents. Action research offers educators and other stakeholders a systematic way to research and reflect on specific students, classrooms, schools, and communities in order to solve local problems and improve local conditions. This book offers an overview of various definitions and perspectives on action research without prescribing any single approach. Instead, key questions are explored: Who conducts action research? Why? How? Possible answers sketch the many types of possible projects, ranging from an individual teacher trying to improve the experience of a particular student to a group of educators and community members striving to improve local socioeconomic conditions. The Action Research Primer presents an accessible but comprehensive introduction to the field, providing a basic compass and map for the interested practitioner. Chapters include a brief historical overview, an introduction to competing research paradigms, discussion of key issues that inform project design, a serviceable guide to process, and an extensive list of resources pointing to more detail on the many categories, communities, and publication outlets of action research.

Some Basics and Some History Introduction to the Concept of Action Research
Some Basics To understand what action research (AR) is, it's helpful first to
sweep some common but misleading mental images of research out of the way.
One teacher has described the stereotypical picture as "Big R" research,
characterized by "long hours in the library, notes that could fill a novel, and a
bibliography several pages long.... [with] tension and stress lurking in the
shadows" (Hubbard and ...

Studies in abnormal psychology

The proceedings of this new association, which is the outcome of the modern
movement in the study of abnormal psychology and the psychoneuroses, will
contain many contributions which will deal with these latter as specific diseases.

Abnormal Psychology

An Introduction

This briefer version of Barlow and Durand's best-selling text was created specifically for those professors who were drawn to the authors' standard-setting integrative approach but wanted a shorter, easier book. In this briefer version, the authors provideuin approximately 550 pagesua integrative approach that helps students understand how each psychological disorder is determined by multiple factors: biological, psychological, cultural, social, familial, and even political. Throughout the text, real casesu95% from the authors' own case filesuprovide a realistic context for the scientific findings of the book, and ensure that readers never lose sight of the fact that beyond the DSM-IV criteria, the theories, and the research are real people. The Second Edition offers a complete course solution, including online resources, an interactive CD-ROM, six compelling videos, a casebook, two books of readings, and other ancillaries that make abnormal psychology come alive for students."

CD-ROM contains: Visuals, study resources, videos featuring 15 client cases & chapter by chapter integration of materials.
