Different Seconds 2
Continuing the approach he took in his first collection of poetry, R. S. Apple presents Different Seconds 2: Hello, Friend-See, Hear, Feel the Difference. In these verses, he celebrates the fact that no two people view life in the same way. From the realization that each day dawns with hope and possibilities in "Dawn of a New Sky" to the fanciful "Chasing Unicorns," Apple expresses his thoughts in a unique and powerful cadence. The point/counterpoint of "One Story Apartment" gives us a birds' eye view into the challenges of relationships, while "Death Valley" talks of the terror of a terrible traffic accident involving many cars. Different Seconds 2 offers an in-depth, imaginative view of the world through a collection of insightful poetry.

Making Things Happen
Drawing on the Pakistan Earthquake Reconstruction and Recovery Project (PERRP), this volume explores the sociocultural side of post-disaster infrastructure reconstruction. As the latter is often fraught with delays and even abandonment—one cause being ineffective interactions between construction and local people—PERRP used anthropological and participatory approaches. Along with strong construction management, such approaches led to the rebuilding being completed on time. As disasters are increasing in number and intensity, so too will be the need for reconstruction, for which PERRP has lessons to offer.
