Leading and emerging scholars discuss how the US Cooperative Extension System addresses issues and opportunities relevant to children, youth, families, and communities both now and in the future. Extension must now lead the way in building sustainable partnerships across disciplines to tackle complex issues considering diminishing resources.

"Robert Lowell is one of the most influential American poets of the 20th century. For a long time, American poetry of the postwar decades were dubbed, the "Age of Lowell." This volume explores the various contexts of Lowell's life and work. It evaluates his oeuvre from new, untried perspectives"--

Over 5 million students in the US are of immigrant origin. This is the first volume to explore the journeys of this student population as they navigate the road to, through, and beyond college. Chapters feature recommendations for higher education stakeholders including student affairs professionals, faculty, administrators, and policymakers.

"This volume reflects on the recent explosion of at-home digital health care. It explores the ethical, legal, and regulatory impacts of this shift away from the 20th-century focus on clinics and hospitals towards a more modern health care model. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core"--

Based on real experiences of teaching Shakespeare in diverse classrooms and outreach programmes, this Element questions the role of authority in Shakespeare teaching. It connects an understanding of how Shakespearean texts function with critical thinking about teaching, especially derived from the work of Jaques Rancière. Certain elements of the Shakespearean text - notably how it was intended to teach its first readers, the actors, and its uses of dramatic irony - are revealed as already containing possibilities for more decentred forms of knowledge production.

In this authoritative, interdisciplinary volume, leading experts from across the globe examine the link between intellectual property and economic inequality. Featuring economists, legal scholars, policy analysts, and other commentators, the book examines timely issues like race and gender disparities and the North-South divide in innovation.

The Challenges of Born-Digital Fiction: Editions, Emulations, and Translations examines activities, approaches, and strategies underlying the preservation of born-digital literature. Drawing upon platform and code studies, archival theory, translation studies, and media theory, it addresses the growing concern among digital preservationists about how best to maintain and extend the accessibility of works created for hardware and with software no longer supported by contemporary computing systems and which often include contextualizing packaging and physical media that extend beyond what is traditionally recognized as 'the work.' In sum, the Element argues that when the emulation and migration of born-digital media translate the work's code, it also impacts the edition and version outputted in the process and potentially our experience with the work.

This Element focuses on foreign ministers, making an empirical contribution by presenting an original dataset on the personal and professional background of foreign ministers, spanning 13 countries and more than 200 years. The authors use data to answer three questions: who are they; why are they with features appointed; and why do some of them have longer tenure than others? They tend to be highly educated men of politics in their 50s and leave mostly by force by the head of government. They are appointed both based on their affinity to and to complement the experiences of the head of government. They stay longer in office when they are expected or observed to be high performing, but they are more at risk of losing their posts to deflect criticism from foreign policy failures.

Noam Reisner sets out a unique approach to Renaissance English revenge drama, demonstrating how it carried out important ethical work through audience participation and metatheatre. It offers fresh readings of key plays, including Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy, Shakespeare's Hamlet and related examples by other contemporary playwrights.

This book presents a novel approach to the theory of dynamical systems using computational matrix algebra. It provides everything necessary to allow readers to develop recursive computational schemes needed to solve practical problems. Ideal for graduate students in electrical and computer engineering, computer science and applied mathematics.
