Traveling Sitting Still
"Robert's powers of observation, the way he focuses on apparently minor details that most of us overlook, make this collection of short stories a constant source of delight and surprise. These stories elevate everyday experiences to the level of high literary art. They do likewise with more profound human tragedies that cast an uncompromising light on the terrible things human beings knowingly and unknowingly do to one another." -Dennis M. Clausen, author of Prairie Son Rich with insight into the human condition, Traveling Sitting Still: short stories is a moving collection of short stories from author Robert Judge Woerheide. In an age of increasing anonymity, these hard-edged, uncompromising stories remind us that we are part of a greater whole. Whether it's an injured American GI forced to dig his own grave during World War II, a lonely germ-phobic stuck on a freeway entrance ramp in Los Angeles, or a man headed for divorce who finds solace in a Chiquita banana sticker, Woerheide explores the darker aspects of humanity and our ability to exist within them.

Finding a New Midwestern History
In comparison to such regions as the South, the far West, and New England, the Midwest and its culture have been neglected both by scholars and by the popular press. Historians as well as literary and art critics tend not to examine the Midwest in depth in their academic work. And in the popular imagination, the Midwest has never really ascended to the level of the proud, literary South; the cultured, democratic Northeast; or the hip, innovative West Coast. Finding a New Midwestern History revives and identifies anew the Midwest as a field of study by promoting a diversity of viewpoints and lending legitimacy to a more in-depth, rigorous scholarly assessment of a large region of the United States that has largely been overlooked by scholars. The essays discuss facets of midwestern life worth examining more deeply, including history, religion, geography, art, race, culture, and politics, and are written by well-known scholars in the field such as Michael Allen, Jon Butler, and Nicole Etcheson.

Measuring Military Readiness and Sustainability
The "four pillars" of military capability are force structure, modernization, readiness, and sustainability. Peacetime expenditures toward achieving and maintaining readiness and sustainability-e.g., through training, maintenance, and materiel stockpiling-typically use more than half the Department of Defense's (DoD's) budget. readiness and sustainability, which reflect approximately how quickly and for how long forces would be usable, govern the degree to which the other two pillars could be exploited in wartime.
