The Indiana University Hoosiers may have missed anothr NCAA title in 1993, but it was a banner year nonetheless: Big Ten champs, a 31-4 record (their 17-1 in the conference was the best in the Big Ten in 17 years), and an outstanding line-up, including the Big Ten's all-time scoring leader and college basketball's Player of the Year, Calbert Cheaney. The stroy unfolds here, game by game, brimming with exciting photos -- by the award-winning sports writer who has covered the last 27 Indiana basketball teams. A Banner Year at Indiana captures the spirit of the 1993 team's well-loved players and, of course, Bob Knight -- the coach who led them all in this, another banner year.

In 1969 we feit that the subject of angular correlations in nuclear disintegrat ion had received little special attention at international conferences. It is true that perturbed angular correlations had been discussed at a smalI, highly - specialised meeting at Uppsala in 1963 and that in 1967 certain aspects of perturbed angular correlations had been considered at a conference on hyperfine structure at Asilomar. However, both conferences were very limited in scope from the point of view of a low - energy nuclear physicist. Besides, since these conferences were being held, the field of perturbed ?ngular correlations had received new impetus from the still ex panding application of the implantation of radioactive isotopes in suitable environ ments, from the construction of large superconductive magnets, etc. Meanwhile, the technique of measuring correlations between beta particles and circularly polarized gamma rays had been developed to such a degree that they lent themselves to the in vestigation of beta decay, nuclear structure and charge dependence of nuclear forces. The systematic study of heavy elements had increased the import an ce of alpha-gamma angular correlations which present their own specific problems. Theoretical internal conversion data had become available to such an extent that electron -gamma direct ional correlations became an important tool in the investigation of nuclear structure: in a large number of cases it is more advantageous to study electron -gamma corre lations instead of the commonly measured gamma -gamma directional correlations.

ost probably the readers of this magazine have never heard of the original TRACKS. I was in the very same situation until by the end of 2020, when NZ LRDG-historian Brendan OCarroll has provided me with a hardly readable copy of the June 1941 issue of TRACKS. I was immediately fascinated by these windows into the past and just thought: "We should revive TRACKS! " The editor of the original Tracks was, that time 20 years old, TA Sgt. N.A Moore, a clerk attached to LRDG Group HQ. The June 1941 issue was created by him when the LRDG HQ was located at Kufra. There he got the idea to create a "house paper" for the unit. He recalled in a letter which was published in the 1991 Newsletter of the LRDG Association, that there were only a very limited number of people who were willing to contribute and that this first edition was mainly launched thanks to the contribution of Lieut. Col. Bagnold and Captain Kennedy Shaw. And indeed, the June 1941 remained the single and only issue of Tracks - it was never published again.... until today! After TRACKS 2021 and TRACKS 2022 is now the third issue of the "re-vived" magazine.

In Maroon & Gold: A History of Sun Devil Athletics, veteran sportswriter Bob Eger recounts not only the most celebrated moments but many little-known items from the university's colorful sports history. From turn-of-the-century football legend Charlie Haigler to the electrifying Whizzer White to latterday star Jake Plummer, the rich football lineage is well documented. But this is much more than a football book. Who could forget coach Ned Wulk's great basketball teams of the early 1960s or the five national basketball titles? It's a little-known fact that women were participating in an early form of aerobics on campus as early as 1891 and playing basketball in 1898, though the school didn't begin attracting national attention for women's athletics until golfer JoAnne Gunderson and diver Patsy Willard began to dominate their sports in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Maroon & Gold: A History of Sun Devil Athletics is must reading for any true Sun Devil fan from any generation.

What is it like to counsel the older client? What issues are most often addressed? What mistakes, pitfalls, and oversights can be made in counseling the older client? And which counseling techniques work best with older adults? Reassuring to both new and experienced practitioners and students, Older Adults in Psychotherapy reaffirms what working with the older client is all about. Older Adults in Psychotherapy vividly presents 20 case histories of older people in psychotherapy. Written to stand alone or in conjunction with Bob Knight's successful volume Psychotherapy with Older Adults, this volume covers many important issues including depression, grieving, preparation for death, caregiving issues, anxiety, sexuality, and long-term mental disorders. In each chapter the case presentation is followed by an explication of the content themes as well as a specific discussion on rapport building, treatment techniques used in the case, gerontological issues, and transference issues. Also introduced is a maturity/specific challenge model for thinking about therapy with the elderly. Through the insightful presentation of case histories, Knight helps practitioners and students in gerontology, social work, psychiatry, psychology, nursing, and health care become more sensitive to the needs of older clients and more effective in their treatment techniques. "The book makes an important contribution to the field. It will be useful to therapists in training from a variety of disciplines (for example social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, and geriatric nurse practitioners); to faculty members involved in training new professionals in these disciplines; and to current practitioners in the fields of psychiatry, psychology, social work, and nursing who want to extend and expand their expertise in aging. All of these audiences will find the material very useful, very accessible with clear implications for their day-to-day practice ... This is a very important book on a timely and important topic." --Michael A. Smyer, The Pennsylvania State University "The case histories vividly demonstrate the mix of medical, social, and psychological problems, and that in itself will make a strong contribution to the field ... Practitioners at all levels can learn something both from what Knight does and doesn't do in his case histories. It should be a particularly illuminating experience for beginning therapists." --Ruth Campbell, The University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor "Older Adults in Psychotherapy definitely makes a distinct contribution in the field! Real, 'full-bodied' cases about elderly people are hard to find. I would buy the book and inform colleagues about it and I would use it as a text in classes (such as Counseling Older Adults) . . . . There is an impressive willingness on Dr. Knight's part to describe his own feelings, failings, oversights, etc.! He comes through as emotionally accessible and believable as a therapist. It would be wonderful for students, in training, to read such accounts--and for those of us long-graduated to be reassured that others, also, deal with these issues." --Sandra M. Powers, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro "Throughout the book, Knight adopts a very honest and personal style and he is not afraid to include his feelings or the shortcomings in his work. His open rejection of a loss-deficit model of ageing in favour of one emphasizing growth toward maturity ... is refreshing, optimistic, and in my experience more accurate. Certainly this is a book that will resonate with those familiar with this population, as well as being a useful source of inspiration for those new in this area." --Clinical Psychology Forum.

Examining the blues genre by region, and describing the differences unique to each, make this a must-have for music scholars and lay readers alike. A melding of many types of music such as ragtime, spiritual, jug band, and other influences came together in what we now call the blues. Blues: A Regional Experience is the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference book of blues performers yet published, correcting many errors in the existing literature. Arranged mainly by ecoregions of the United States, this volume traces the history of blues from one region to another, identifying the unique sounds and performers of that area. Each section begins with a brief introduction, including a discussion of the region's culture and its influence on blues music. Chapters take an in-depth look at blues styles from the following regions: Virginia and the tidewater area, Carolinas and the Piedmont area, the Appalachians and Alabama, the Mississippi Delta, Greater Texas, the Lower Midwest, the Midwest, the Northeast, and California and the West. Biographical sketches of musicians such as B.B. King and T-Bone Walker include parental data and up-to-date biographical information, including full names, pseudonyms, and burial place, when available. The work includes a chapter devoted to the Vaudeville era, presenting much information never before published. A chronology, selected artists' CD discography, and bibliography round out this title for students and music fans.

This introductory text focuses on the underlying generic issues of risk management in health care. It allows the reader to analyse risk management issues, and to critically evaluate the claims made about existing and new technologies, in an informed way.

This discography documents--in alphabetical order by artist--every commercial country music recording, including unreleased sides, and indicates, as completely as possible, the musicians playing at every session, as well as instrumentation. This massive undertaking encompasses 2,500 artists, 5,000 session musicians, and 10,000 songs. Summary histories of each key record company are also provided, along with a bibliography. The discography includes indexes to all song titles and musicians listed.

This book comprehensively surveys the colorful history of mass hysteria and kindred phenomena in schools, documenting outbreaks of demonic possession during witchcraft scares, to modern incidents of collapsing bands, itching frenzies, ghost panics and mystery illnesses. Strange behaviors and illnesses in students are examined through the centuries. Possessed children went into trance states and began to bark like dogs in 16th and 17th century Holland; an epidemic of twitching, trembling and blackout spells swept through European schools during the latter 1800s; an outbreak of Tourette's-like symptoms struck schoolgirls in western New York in 2011-12. In addition to the US and Europe, separate chapters detail accounts from Asia, Africa, Latin America and Oceania. A variety of theories to explain outbreaks are examined.
