Because It Is So Beautiful
A Finalist for the PEN/Diamonstein–Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay Yes, every inch of the globe has been seen, mapped, photographed, and measured, but is it known? Robert Leonard Reid doesn’t think so. To draw a circle and calculate its diameter is not to know the circle. In this collection, Reid distinguishes himself from many science–based nature writers, using the natural world as a springboard for speculations and musings on the numinous and the sacred, injustice, homelessness, the treatment of Native Peoples in the United States, and what pushes mountaineers to climb. Ranging in their settings from eastern New Mexico to northern Alaska, Reid’s essays illustrate his bel...

René Angélil
Previously unknown details of Rene Angelil's personal and professional life are revealed in this investigation into the man who orchestrated one of the foremost successes in the history of show business. A seducer, dreamer, and inveterate gambler, Angelil lived through the 1960s with an attitude of blissful insouciance, only to suffer a series of professional setbacks and disappointments in love, which did not prevent him from achieving fame and fortune. In 1981, Rene Angelil staked his life on a single card: Celine Dion. His bet succeeded, yet the road ahead was still rocky. His health gave way, and as he was recovering, an accusation of sexual assault threatened to ruin his reputation. What comes next in the life of this inveterate gambler? This biography takes us far beyond the idealized, indulgent image presented by the media. Is this powerful man a genius? Is he the victim of a conspiracy, or does he abuse his power? Why is he so feared? This completely up-to-date book contains answers to all these questions and much more.

Connecting Non Full-time Faculty to Institutional Mission
Non full-time faculty—whether adjunct, part-time or contingent—has become the lifeline of a vast majority of colleges and universities. They teach many of the foundation and core courses taken by first- and second-year students, teach professional courses in which their own life experiences are invaluable, and step in at short notice to fill-in for regular faculty engaged in research or away on sabbaticals.A survey of over 4,000 institutions conducted by the US Department of Education reveals that such faculty are being hired at a much higher rate than their full-time counterparts--whether in response to increased enrollments, reduced budgets, or changing administrative strategies.The in...
