Living Positive with Imperfection
Robert Bob Pattons book A Memoir, the personal story of his fifty-nine-year career as an educator, a state representative, and a public servant, contains details of three generations of a family that worked the soil, built community, and took responsibility for their own welfare like many similar families, and made this country one of the greatest in the world. Bobs personal progression from a high school teacher to professor in a state university, state representative, and a public servant is evidence of a highly competent, and well-motivated individual who achieved significant accomplishments. He is to be particularly admired for his lack of bitterness, despite divorces, life as a single parent, political defeat, and job loss. His only complaint is against politicians who will do anything to remain in power no matter whether it is morally right or wrong or good for society or not. Although well past retirement age, he continues to work for the Tennessee legislature despite being displaced in one position when the opposing party gained control of the legislature.

Ethical Implications of COVID-19 Management
After this period of living with COVID-19, we have reached the point where we can start evaluating its management. This edited collection focuses on the exploration of the ethical implications of the management of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The contributions examine our work habits, our human relationships, our trust in governments and health expertise, resource distribution, the prosperity and leadership of businesses, and the prospective traumas of our children. This is a companion book to The COVID-19 Pandemic: Ethical Challenges and Considerations, also published by Ethics International Press.
Enhanced Characterization and Representation of Flow Through Karst Aquifers
This research report summaries and details the first year of work on a multi-year karst modeling project organized to develop enhanced groundwater modeling capabilities that can be used to effectively manage karst aquifers. Discussed are the three key considerations for modeling karst systems were identified: representation of conduits in flow models, representation of flow dynamics in conduits, and representation of partially filled conduits and the numerical experiments used to identify the limitations and advantages of the three general representations of conduits within groundwater models. A new dual-conductivity MODFLOW-2000 package (DCM) was developed for testing the dual-conductivity approach. A turbulence model was added, the software was validated using simple benchmark problems, and code documentation was completed. Simultaneous demonstrations showed that the modeling tool can be successfully applied in complex applications.
Fusion Leadership

Teaching Multiwriting
Formulaic ways to train students in composition and rhetoric are no longer effective, say authors Robert L. Davis and Mark F. Shadle. Scholar-teachers must instead reinvent the field from the inside. Teaching Multiwriting: Researching and Composing with Multiple Genres, Media, Disciplines, and Cultures presents just such a reinvention with multiwriting, an alternative, open approach to composition. Seeking to open the minds of both writers and readers to new understandings, the authors argue for the supplanting of the outdated research paper assignment with research projects that use multiple forms to explore questions that cannot be fully answered. This innovative volume, geared to composition teachers at all levels, includes sixteen helpful illustrations and provides classroom exercises and projects for each chapter.
When Leadership Fails

The Camino de Santiago in the 21st Century
The Spanish Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage rooted in the Medieval period and increasingly active today, has attracted a growing amount of both scholarly and popular attention. With its multiple points of departure in Spain and other European countries, its simultaneously secular and religious nature, and its international and transhistorical population of pilgrims, this particular pilgrimage naturally invites a wide range of intellectual inquiry and scholarly perspectives. This volume fills a gap in current pilgrimage studies, focusing on contemporary representations of the Camino de Santiago. Complementing existing studies of the Camino’s medieval origins, it situates the Camino as a mo...
