From the publisher:"Creating a New Kind of University builds on the authors' previous book A Time for Boldness in its vision for creating -- engaged universities -- institutions of higher education that partner with communities to solve universal problems. In order to identify critical elements of engagement and barriers to its progress the authors begin by examining efforts made by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee toward propelling institution-wide commitments to engagement in the community. The authors then survey the state of engagement nationally and provide an overview of the scholarship on engagement. The book presents innovative approaches to fostering successful community-university engagement efforts. It also considers implications for sustainability such as: How to fund partnerships between communities and universities; Ways in which to weave engagement into the fabric of campus administration How college and university presidents can begin to institutionalize engagement; Challenges in the future of university engagement. Written by a group of national leaders in higher education who believe it is time for change Creating a New Kind of University is a call for American universities to realize their democratic promise through academically-based community service. A valuable resource for presidents provosts and administrative leaders the book offers new and viable perspectives on how to move beyond ideas about engagement to real institutional change.". 1st ed No additional printings listed.

CELSS Research Reports Vol 1 Nos. 1-11

1982rif. 717Ames Research Center 1982. Hardcover. Fine. Red cloth binding with gilt titles to the spine. Quarto 11 x 9" The Controlled Ecological Life Support System CELSS program ran for about 25 years between the late 1970s and early 2000s with related work continuing today. The goal of CELSS was to create an enclosed biological system that could sustain astronauts indefinitely. It relied especially on plants which recycle waste into food and oxygen. Kennedy Space Center spent decades developing indoor farming techniques for crops and even fish to support a closed-loop life-support system for space travel. Eleven bound research reports from NASA contractors include: Emmett J. Johnson: Genetic engineering Possibilities for CELSS: A Bibliography and Summary of Techniques. March 1982 G. M. Hornberger and E. B. Rastetter: Sensitivity Analysis as an Aid in Modeling and Control of Poorly Defined Ecological Systems 1982 T. W. Tibbitts and D. K. Alford: Controlled Ecological Life Support System: The Use of Higher Plants 1982 R. M. Mason and J. L. Carden: CELSS:Research and Development Guidelines for CELSS 1982 B. Moore and R. D. MacElroy: CELSS: Biological Problems 1982 H. Aroeste: Application of Guided Inquiry Systems Technique GIST to CELSS. 1982 R. M. Mason: CELSS Scenario Analysis: Breakeven Calculation 1980 J. E.

Hoff; Plant Diversity to Support Humans in a CELSS Ground Based Demonstrator 1982 It is likely that this research was considered in the fascinating and controversial vivarium experiment: Biosphere 2 in Oracle Arizona. Constructed between 1987 and 1991 Biosphere 2 was an experiment on the viability of closed ecological systems to support and maintain human life in outer space as a substitute for Earth's biosphere. The largest ever created it was a two-year closure 1991- 1993 with a crew of eight people and was only used once more in 1994 for its original intended purposes. Both attempts ran into problems including low amounts of food and oxygen die-offs of many animals and plants and group dynamic tensions. . Ames Research Center hardcover
