Images of America: Howell features vintage photographs of Howell, most of which have never before been published. This visual documentation spans the decades from the 1850s to the 1950s, telling the story of Livingston Centre, known today as the city of Howell. Unique images in this volume include turn-of-the-century street fairs and parades, the first paving of the Grand River, and World War I inductees marching to the courthouse to be sworn in to federal service. Furthermore, historically significant photographs document Howell's cultural keystones: the courthouse, Carnegie Library, and the Opera House. Also, see views of the Ann Arbor and Pere Marquette railroad depots, street scenes, merchants, businesses, industry, and social organizations that illustrate Howell's evolution from a tiny settlement to a vibrant and thriving city.
Recent evidence has shown many ways in which our bodies and the environment influence cognition. In this Research Topic we aim to develop our understanding of cognition by considering the diverse and dynamic relationship between the language we use, our bodily perceptions, and our actions and interactions in the broader environment. There are already many empirical effects illustrating the continuity of mind- body-environment: manipulating body posture influences diverse areas such as mood, hormonal responses, and perception of risk; directing attention to a particular sensory modality can affect language processing, signal detection, and memory performance; placing implicit cues in the environment can impact upon social behaviours, moral judgements, and economic decision making. This Research Topic includes papers that explore the question of how our bodies and the environment influence cognition, such as how we mentally represent the world around us, understand language, reason about abstract concepts, make judgements and decisions, and interact with objects and other people. Contributions focus on empirical, theoretical, methodological or modelling issues as well as opinion pieces or contrasting perspectives. Topic areas include, perception and action, social cognition, emotion, language processing, modality-specific representations, spatial representations, gesture, atypical embodiment, perceptual simulation, cognitive modelling and perspectives on the future of embodiment.
This book-length treatment of Exploratory Practice introduces five propositions about learners as practitioners of learning who are capable of developing their expertise through conducting research in and on their own classroom learning lives.
In the spring of 1967, James Merrill taught a creative writing course in poetry at the Univ. of Wisconsin. Judith Moffett was a graduate student in the course. The two connected in Madison, and in the years that followed, during which Moffett completed her degree and embarked on a teaching career, Merrill served in the role of mentor, encouraging her writing and critiquing seriously the poems she sent him. Their friendship--conducted mainly through letters, as they were seldom in the same location--developed and deepened. From the start Moffett had found her mentor's poetry uniquely mesmerizing. She reviewed his books as they appeared, and a literary-critical study of his work--James Merrill: An Introduction to the Poetry--was published in 1984 by Columbia University Press. And through it all they wrote to each other. Merrill, one of the last great correspondents to write on paper, sent Moffett hundreds of letters, including many that covered his years at work on his Ouija board trilogy, The Changing Light at Sandover. Unlikely Friends quotes extensively from these letters--letters which comprise a treasure trove of insight into Merrill's thinking and poetic practice. Scholars and critics will find them fascinating.Other readers may be engaged with the mysterious psychological side of their story. For the course of the relationship was complicated, sometimes tortuous, owing to the fact that almost at once Moffett's feelings about the gay poet approached obsession. Both found her feelings difficult to deal with, and it would be long years before the driving force behind the strange attraction became clear and allowed the obsessive quality to fade out of the friendship. But despite the awkwardness and tension which that obsession created between them for so long, Merrill remained faithful in his support of Moffett's work and career in poetry. Moreover, he continued to keep faith after she had left poetry for science fiction. Through all its ups and downs, their unlikely friendship endured until Merrill's death in 1995.
