An intensive investigation of the impact Army service has had on the quality of life for a representative sample of young Americans is analyzed in terms of possible improvement in Army personnel procedures. A total of 166 men (of a potential 200) and 49 women (of a potential 50) were interviewed. The information from these interviews; a review of interviewee lives before, during, and after Army service to about the age of 30; and Project talent (a 1960 national survey of high school students) information have been analyzed. Background and purpose of the study, a definition of the information required, a description of the sample group, procedures for collecting the data and the results of its analysis, and the impact of Army service on present quality of life are discussed. A summary indicates that, for the group as a whole, Army service had a positive effect on their subsequent quality of life. Results imply that the Army could improve in its career guidance and training programs and thus have an opportunity to make a significant improvement in the life planning activities of many of the nation's young people. One table and five figures supplement the discussion.

This collection of essays primarily honours Bernfried Nugel the teacher and scholar, but it also pays homage to Bernfried Nugel the indefatigable worker in the cause of Aldous Huxley studies. It is due to this latter manifestation that many of the contributors to this volume know each other personally, having met at one or more of the international conferences that Professor Nugel organized and either hosted or co-hosted. At Munster, his home university, he has also been instrumental in establishing and heading a center for admirers of Huxley's work, along with a fine library of Huxley materials, including manuscripts and numerous first editions. (Series: "Human Potentialities". Studien zu Aldous Huxley & zeitgenossischer Kultur/Studies in Aldous Huxley & Contemporary Culture - Vol. 7)
Includes entries for maps and atlases.
Story time at the public library is the first exposure to books outside the home for many preschool children. For the librarian, it is an exciting opportunity to instill in youngsters a love of reading and books. But coming up with new ideas that hold the children’s attention can be trying. Until now. Here are 55 tried-and-true story hour programs with a thematic approach. All are highly flexible and adaptable across the full preschool age range. Most of the ideas are arranged under one of eight specific themes that include four to eight one-hour programs: barnyard animals, the Caldecott Medal, colors, families, a storytelling feast, the five senses, reptiles and amphibians, and around the world. There are also 18 individual holiday and seasonal programs. All story hours provide ideas for name tags, suggested audiovisual materials, recommended story, poetry and song selections, additional titles and a full description of the activity.
Wie tragfähig ist der hochschuldidaktisch viel beschworene „Wandel vom Lehren zum Lernen“? Dieser Frage gehen die Autor_innen für die sozialwissenschaftliche Lehre auf den Grund. In Feldstudien erarbeiten sie neue, auch für den theoretischen Diskurs relevante Kriterien für die Lehrkultur in ihrem Fachbereich. Gleichzeitig zeigen die Erfahrungen und die Auseinandersetzung mit den institutionellen Rahmenvorgaben, wie eng die Grenzen sind, die bestehenden Lehr- und Lernverhältnisse vom Kopf auf die Füße zu stellen.
