Grand Ave., Des Moines 50319; 515-281-3251. Iowa is known throughout the world as America's heartland, the source of an abundant supply of top quality agricultural goods. The natural wealth of our soil has provided us with an enduring base upon which to build a diversified economy. While the trend of consolidation has resulted in a diminishing farm population, the contribution of agriculture to Gross State Product assures that all Iowans maintain an interest and awareness in that portion of our economy. But it would be a mistake to restrict perception of the state to farm-related goods and services, or to conclude that all Iowans are farmers. The information in this section will help put Iowa's economy into correct perspective. Iowa's top personal income source: Service sector It's clear from these charts that only a small percentage of our population derives their personal income directly from agriculture. But indirectly, agricultuVe-generated dollars have spawned vigorous growth in other sectors. Because our economy is in the early stages of diversification, we're still vulnerable to fluctuations in demand for agricultural products. As our new industries mature,

  • Introduction When the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes – from 1929 Kingdom of Yugoslavia – Was Formed in 1918, One of I
    Introduction When the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes – from 1929 Kingdom of Yugoslavia – was formed in 1918, one of its most important tasks was to forge a common collective identity. Intellectual elites in the young state with great optimism agreed that education would play a crucial role in this process. It should come as no surprise, then, that a relatively rich tradition of scholarly research into the representation of collective identities in Yugoslav education has originated, precisely to account for the failure of the Yugoslav project in the long term. Recently, a growing body of scholarly research has established textbooks as one of the more rewarding sources for studying collective identity in education, focusing on ‘what knowledge is included and rejected in ... textbooks, and how the transmission of this selected knowledge often attempts to shape a particular form of national memory, national identity and national consciousness’.1 For the Yugoslav case this emerging research field so far has primarily examined textbooks which were used in the period directly preceding, during and following the disintegration of Yugoslavia.2 However, as the present article hopes to illustrate, textbook analysis can also provide the historian with interesting new elements for the study of collective identities in Yugoslavia’s more distant past. With its focus on national identity in Serbian, Croatian and Slovenian textbooks before the First World War, and later also in interwar Yugoslavia, the work of Charles Jelavich still occupies a somewhat

  • Abortion in the Early Medieval West, C.500-900
    „Alienated from the womb‟: abortion in the early medieval West, c.500-900 Zubin Mistry University College, London PhD Thesis 2011 1 I, Zubin Mistry, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is primarily a cultural history of abortion in the early medieval West. It is a historical study of perceptions, rather than the practice, of abortion. The span covered ranges from the sixth century, when certain localised ecclesiastical initiatives in the form of councils and sermons addressed abortion, through to the ninth century, when some of these initiatives were integrated into pastoral texts produced in altogether different locales. The thesis uses a range of predominantly ecclesiastical texts – canonical collections, penitentials, sermons, hagiography, scriptural commentaries, but also law- codes – to bring to light the multiple ways in which abortion was construed, experienced and responded to as a moral and social problem. Although there is a concerted focus upon the ecclesiastical tradition on abortion, a focus which ultimately questions how such a tradition ought to be understood, the thesis also explores the broader cultural significance of abortion. Early medieval churchmen, rulers, and jurists saw multiple things in abortion and there were multiple perspectives upon abortion. The thesis illuminates the manifold and, occasionally, surprising ways in which abortion was perceived in relation to gender, sexuality, politics, theology and the church. The history of early medieval abortion has been largely underwritten. Moreover, it has been inadequately historicised.

Prepared for the Central Asia in World History NEH Summer Institute The Ohio State University, July 11-29, 2016 By Kitty Lam, History Faculty, Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, Aurora, IL [email protected] Grade Level – 9-12 Subject/Relevant Topics – World History; trade, migration, nomadism, Xiongnu, Turks, Mongols Unit length – 4-8 weeks This unit plan outlines my approach to world history with a thematic focus on the movement of people, goods and ideas. The Silk Road serves a metaphor for one of the oldest and most significant networks for long distance east-west exchange, and offers ample opportunity for students to conceptualize movement in a world historical context. This unit provides a framework for students to consider the different kinds of people who facilitated cross-cultural exchange of goods and ideas and the multiple factors that shaped human mobility. This broad unit is divided into two parts: Part A emphasizes the significance of nomadic peoples in shaping Eurasian exchanges, and Part B focuses on the relationship between religion and trade. At the end of the unit, students will evaluate the use of the term “Silk Road” to describe this trade network. Contents Part A – Huns*, Turks, and Mongols, Oh My!

  • Ustanovenie Nitrianskeho Biskupstva V Roku 880 a Otázka Katedrálneho Chrámu
    USTANOVENIE NITRIANSKEHO BISKUPSTVA V ROKU 880 A OTÁZKA KATEDRÁLNEHO CHRÁMU The Establishment of the Bishopric of Nitra in 880 and the Question of the Nitra Cathedral Andrej Botek DOI: 10.17846/CL.2021.14.1.3-22 Abstract: BOTEK, Andrej. The Establishment of the Bishopric of Nitra in 880 and the Question of the Nitra Cathedral. In 880 Pope John VIII consecrated the Frankish Benedictine Wiching as a bishop of the “holy Church of Nitra” and placed him under the jurisdiction of St. Method, “the most dignified archbishop of the holy Moravian Church”. This step was a result of a long development in the ecclesiastical, jurisdictional and power spheres not only on the territory of Great Moravia, but especially in the Central European region where the East Frankish, Great Moravian and Pannonian regions intersected and in which, over the years, many contradictory trends appeared. This article deals with the formation of the Bishopric of Nitra in 880 against the background of the general Christianisation in the Great Moravian area. The formation of the Bishopric is generally regarded by scholars as the formal emergence of the Pannonian/Great Moravian archdiocese. The study also presents the history of the Bishopric of Nitra after the departure of Bishop Wiching (890/893), during the restoration of the Great Moravian archdiocese in 899 and during the decline of Great Moravia after 907. It also studies sacral architecture of Nitra in the 9th century, focusing on its sacral topography. Keywords: Bishopric of Nitra, Great Moravia, Christianisation, sacral architecture „Založenie“ nitrianskeho biskupstva roku 880 musíme vnímať na pozadí zložitých dobových uda- lostí, ale aj dovtedajšieho vývoja v mocenskej i cirkevnej sfére na území Veľkej Moravy, Panónie i Bavorska (ako súčasti Východofranskej ríše).
