Perhaps the most significant way to present the impact of the favorable publicity she has produced for her city and state is simply to summarize the reviews which have already been published: three full columns in the New York Times Book Review; a two-column review · in the Daily New York Times; three columns in the New York Herald Tribune Book Review; significant space in the Chicago Tribune Magazine of Books, the Cleveland Press, Associated Press Newsfeatures the Boston Sunday Post; and impressive reviews in American Heritage Magazine, Newsweek, Time Magazine and the Library Journal. Among the critics who have recognized Miss Stevenson•s work as a major contribution to American letters are Allan Nevins, Henry • Steele Commager, Louis Gannett, Katherine Thompson and Orville Prescott. Miss Stevenson is strictly an Atlanta product and got her English training at old Girl's High and at Agnes Scott College wherP she wrote for the student newspaper and magazine and graduated Magna Cum Laude with membership in Phi Beta Kappa.

  • Disaster Preparedness, Resilience, and Response Forum Report
    Columbia World Projects: Disaster Preparedness, Resilience, and Response Forum Report August 15, 2019 Foreword Dear Reader, On behalf of Columbia World Projects (CWP), we are pleased to present the following report on our Forum on Disaster Preparedness, Resilience, and Response, one of an ongoing series of meetings dedicated to bringing together academia with partners from government, non- governmental and intergovernmental organizations, the media, and the private sector to identify projects designed to tackle fundamental challenges facing humanity. Natural disasters and public health emergencies impact tens of millions of people each year. At the individual level, the impact is often felt physically, mentally, and emotionally, and can destroy homes and businesses, wipe out financial resources, uproot families, and cause lasting injuries and even deaths. At the community and regional level, the impact can be equally devastating, inflicting enormous environmental and structural damage; stalling or even reversing a society’s economic growth and development; and producing and exacerbating poverty and instability. While natural disasters and public health emergencies have been a consistent feature of human existence, the frequency and intensity of such incidents have increased over the last few decades, in significant part as a result of climate change and growing mobility. All of this has made managing disasters more urgent, more expensive, and more complex. On June 10, 2019, CWP invited approximately 35 experts from a range of fields and disciplines to take part in a Forum with the aim not only of deepening our understanding of natural disasters and public health emergencies, but also of proposing concrete ways to improve the lives of people affected by these events.

  • William James and His Individual Crisis HARRY MADDUX [email protected]
    Department of Languages, Literature & Philosophy Languages, Literature & Philosophy Working Papers Tennessee State University Year 2007 William James and His Individual Crisis HARRY MADDUX [email protected] This paper is posted at E-Research@Tennessee State University. http://e-research.tnstate.edu/llp wp/2 William James and the Individual 1 William James and His Individual Crisis I. Introduction Students of William James have long commented on how critical periods of his life compelled crucial developments in his philosophical thought. Ralph Barton Perry was the first to capitalize upon this recognition, with his examination of how James’s depression resulted in a very practical and highly personalized belief in the necessity of action as the only viable response to the Darwinian “process of the universe” (Perry 1: 322). Charlene Seigfried posits that, in addition to this seminal event, James likely faced two other crises. In 1895, he turned from psychological studies to specifically philosophical issues (William James’s Radical Reconstruction 12). In 1908-1909, these endeavors forced him to “give up ‘intellectualistic logic’” entirely and depend on a reconstructed “rational strand” in order to answer the old question (first posed in The Principles of Psychology) of how many consciousnesses can be at the same time one consciousness (13). Such insights have enriched and enlivened James studies, but the generalized conclusion they indicate—that James’s philosophy was an intensely lived but largely successful experience—deserves reevaluation. The first part of this judgment is accurate; the second is far less so. James’s first crisis was without doubt a lonely experience precipitated by questions of his responsibility to society and his place among others’ lives (Perry 1: 322).

  • Columbia World Projects Cybersecurity Forum Report
    Columbia World Projects Cybersecurity Forum Report December 14, 2018 Foreword Dear Reader, On behalf of Columbia World Projects (CWP), we are pleased to present the following report on the results of our Forum on Cybersecurity, one of a series of meetings we are holding to identify possible solutions to fundamental challenges facing humanity. Cybersecurity – the practice of protecting systems, networks, programs, and data from digital attacks and unauthorized access – has grown increasingly challenging as a consequence of increased connectivity through the Internet. It is hard to think of a tool in our contemporary society that brings with it such potential for good and for ill as the Internet. On the one hand, it can be a catalyst for economic growth and for social change, and can expose us to a wide range of information and perspectives. On the other hand, it can be used to wreak havoc on financial and commercial networks, to repress dissent, and to undermine democratic processes. The Internet is essential to our personal lives and to our jobs, from communicating with our colleagues, to receiving payments for the goods and services we provide. Yet the very qualities that make the Internet so valuable to society, including the immediate interconnectedness it facilitates in a relatively decentralized and open way – make the task of securing the services, devices, data, and infrastructure that enable these key functions extraordinarily challenging. It is commonly accepted that efforts to identify, understand, and address the risks – which continue to evolve and multiply with our growing reliance on the Internet – have been insufficient, and too often reactive rather than proactive.
