Thermodynamics of Chemical Systems
Scott E. Wood
The concepts and relations pertinent to the solution of many thermodynamic problems encountered in multi-phase, multi-component systems are developed in this volume. Emphasis is placed on a comprehension and development of general expressions for solving such problems, rather than ready-made equations for particular applications. The first half of the book is devoted to defining the thermodynamic functions and to generating the fundamental relations relevant to chemical systems at equilibrium. The second half concentrates on the application of these relations to real systems and the methods which can be used to obtain additional connections. Throughout, the methods of Gibbs are used with emphasis on the chemical potential.

Electrical Characterization of GaAs Materials and Devices
David C. Look
Summarizes electrical measurement data in GaAs materials and devices, and describes in detail the techniques used to obtain these data and the ideas behind them. Special emphasis is given to subjects sometimes ignored in other works such as impurity and defect Fermi functions, degeneracy factors and multiband conduction, and also to relatively new subjects such as the application of magnetoresistance to determine carrier mobility in device structures. Some of the information is quite practical, e.g., how to make ohmic contacts or where to buy a commercial, automated Hall-effect apparatus. Includes many detailed derivations.

The Philosophical Biographer: Doubt and Dialectic in Johnson's Lives of the Poets
Martin Maner
The Philosophical Biographer shows how a shift in philosophical outlook in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries-from an understanding of human knowledge rooted in deductive certainties to one resting on inductive probability-influenced the development of biographical narrative in general and in particular the way Johnson dealt with biographical evidence in his Lives of the Poets.
Examining the psychological and philosophical doubt that lay at the heart of Johnson's character and intellect, Martin Maner reveals in the biographical studies of Savage, Swift, Milton, and Pope an ingrained pattern of dialectical argument and a skeptical attitude toward evidence--a method that involves the reader in judgments about the poets as it conveys Johnson's own understanding of truth. In the Life of Savage, Johnson moves from thesis to antithesis, generating out of opposing emotional responses--irony and sympathy, ridicule and pathos-an understanding of the man. Dialectically undercutting the conclusions of previous biographers of Swift and Milton, Johnson fashions a new, somewhat acidic estimation of Swift and a portrait of Milton that engages contemporary questions of the probable and the marvelous. The Life of Pope, Johnson's greatest dialectical achievement, alternates between blame and praise, public and private realms, weaving tone, context, and analogy into great, contrasting patterns of inquiry and judgment.
Establishing the centrality of a dialectical method in the Lives of the Poets, Martin Maner links the rise of biography as well as Johnson's interest in the form to the shift in epistemology brought about by empiricism. In the new patterns of thought of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, biography--the estimation of a life through sifting of historical events and evidence--was the most philosophical of endeavors, and Johnson its greatest practitioner.

Readings in Affective Education
Ronald G. Helms Ph.D. and Gerald G. Strong
Exploring, Deciding and Acting is a result of many, many hours of reading, studying and teaching. The editors have instructed courses and workshops which required a theoretical explanation of affective education.
This text is our attempt to present some representative and excellent articles in the areas of affective education. Many values clarification lessons are being published. These may take the form of strategy books to elaborate kits. As materials proliferate, more and more teachers will gain access. In one sense this overabundance of materials can serve a useful purpose. However, the editors are concerned that well-meaning teachers and administrators may do as much harm as good unless there is first some degree of comprehension of an approach to values analysis and moral education.
It is the writers' contentions that moral education and values clarification is not just another bandwagon. As educators we have a responsibility to keep abreast of current curriculum trends; today, we must know something about behavioral objectives, gaming and simulation, interaction analysis, role playing, inquiry, concepts, generalizations, and reflection. We should also know something of the theoretical constructs of values clarification and moral education.
We would maintain that moral education and values clarification are going to become much more important in all areas of the curriculum. As such these concepts have existed for several years. Perhaps John Dewey's writings in the 1890's did much to awaken the present generation to the need. During the past several years such writers as Hunt and Metcalf, Jewett, Simon, Kohlberg and Piaget, have contributed much to curriculum development. It is our contention that moral education and values analysis ought to be of central concern to the curriculum. Values education is the most important kind of education.
Nationwide we are witness to a growing trend of training educators in the skills of moral education. Many education method courses are beginning to deal with this complex issue. Many special workshops are being offered. Thus a need exists to provide a background for this new curriculum area. This book is one such attempt at filling this vacuum.

Affective Education: Readings in Cognitive Moral Development and in Values Analysis and Clarification
Gerald Strong and Ronald G. Helms Ph.D.
The purpose of this book of readings is to serve as a major guide and resource for all who study and implement moral education and values clarification. It is more than a usual facts and principles text with the expression of a single author's beliefs or point of view. It is a collection of opinions and theories that reflect various trends of thought concerning moral education and values clarificatio.n. The authors have attempted to provide points of view. The readers are free to judge and draw their own conclusions on moral education utilizing the readings as a guide.
Many values clarification lessons are being published. These may take the form of strategy books to elaborate kits. As materials prolificate, more and more teachers will gain access.

A Bibliography of Sources for Dayton, Ohio, 1850-1950
Carl M. Becker, Jacob H. Dorn, and Paul G. Merriam
In a research proposal dated December 19, 1968, Professors Carl M. Becker, Jacob H. Dorn, and Paul G. Merriam requested funding from the National Science Foundation for a three-year study of the growth and development of Dayton, Ohio, from 1850 to 1950. This proposal consisted of two stages: (1) a preliminary inventory of historical sources, and (2) the researching and writing of a scholarly history of Dayton, which could be built rationally and systematically upon the inventory of sources. The National Science Foundation subsequently approved a grant for the first phase, which was to run from September 1, 1969, to August 31, 1970. The project members were given to understand that future funding of the second phase would depend, among other things, on the results of the inventory and a satisfactory re-definition of the scope and purposes of the research and writing phase.
The inventory itself proved more massive an undertaking than had been anticipated. In addition, although the project staff was able to complete the major part of its field work during the summer of 1970, the clerical and editorial work remaining to be completed at the termination date of August 31, 1970, necessitated the extension of the inventory phase for an additional six months to February 28, 1971.
