"On a sunny Wednesday in August, 1884, four Minneapolis met to sigh the papers incorporating Adath Jeshurun Congregation-the gathering of the righteous. From those humble beginnings arose one of the preeminent Conservative congregations in the United States. Many Minnesotans have known Adath to be 'the oldest Conservative congregation west of the Mississippi,' but until now, few have been familiar with the details of its past. Congregant Etta Fay Orkin has spent the past 30 years painstakingly interviewing congregants, collecting photos, and combing newspapers, church bulletins and early histories of both Adath and the wider Jewish and civic communities, in an effort to preserve the synagogue's story. In celebration of the Adath's 125th anniversary, the results of her research have been wedded to photographs from every era and augmented by Deborah Tolmach Sugarman's narrative of the synagogue's recent past.

The International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) examines systems and organizations characterized by the following two properties: the ability to self-adapt to the characteristics of rapidly changing and turbulent environments by adopting complex individual and social strategies and the ability to control their changes to prevent the invalidation of their original mission statements. The central focus of IJARAS is on modeling, simulating, designing, developing, maintaining, evaluating, and benchmarking such entelechial systems. Perception, awareness, and the planning and execution of resilient adaptation behaviors in systems and organizations are central topics of the journal. Such systems range from individual and simple embedded systems with limited perception and predefined specialized behaviors to complex hybrid social organizations like cyber-physical societies or service-oriented communities, whose emerging behaviors are many and, in some cases, difficult to predict. IJARAS focuses on the full spectrum of these problems providing academicians, practitioners, and researchers with awareness and insight on conceptual models, applied and theoretical approaches, paradigms, and other technological innovations on self-adaptive and/or self-resilient systems and organizations of any scale and nature.

E-Ffective Writing for E-Learning Environments

E-ffective Writing for E-Learning Environments integrates research and practice in user-centered design and learning design for instructors in post-secondary institutions and learning organizations who are developing e-learning resources.  The book is intended as a development guide for experts in areas other than instructional or educational technology (in other words, experts in cognate areas such as Biology or English or Nursing) rather than as a learning design textbook.  The organization of the book reflects the development process for a resource, course, or program - from planning and development through formative evaluation, and identifies trends and issues that faculty or developers might encounter along the way.  The account of the process of one faculty member's course development journey illustrates the suggested design guidelines. The accompanying practice guide provides additional information, examples, learning activities, and tools to supplement the text.
