Peter H. Klopfer interview
No full textInterview conducted by Mary Samouelian on December 15, 2008 in Durham, North Carolina. Duration: 1:01:54Peter H. Klopfer was born August 9, 1930 in Berlin, Germany. He earned his B.A. from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1952 and his Ph.D. from Yale University in 1957. In 1958, Professor Klopfer came to Duke as Assistant Professor in the Department of Zoology (now Dept. of Biology). In 1967, he was promoted to Professor. His area of research is animal behavior and behavioral ecology, and he was instrumental in launching the primate center at Duke. Klopfer retired in 2006 as Professor Emeritus, however, he continues to conduct research, travel and teach seminars, with his current project focusing on sleep and hibernation behavior in prosimian primates. In this interview, he recalls his decision to come to Duke University, his first impressions of North Carolina, the Duke University campus, and of the student population in the late 1950s. Of particular interest is his recollection of coming to the South during the Civil Rights Movement. He also speaks about how his research, teaching philosophy, his interaction with students, and the student body have changed over the course of his tenure at Duke. Lastly, he reflects how working for Duke and being part of the Duke community has directly impacted him.Created with support from the W.M. Upchurch endowmen

Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin
The Alnwick Castle Podcast No.82: The 4th Duke and the Victorian rogue - with Peter Lindfield and Frances Mcintosh
No full textAt Alnwick Castle, the 4th Duke of Northumberland is probably best known for his restoration of the castle in the 1850s and 1860s, transforming the State Rooms and creating the Great Kitchen. But before all that work began, he had encountered a man named George Shaw, who was able to convince him to buy a number of pieces of antique furniture from old Percy properties. The problem? George had faked this furniture, making it himself, and deceiving the duke about its origins.
To find out more about this story, we spoke to Dr Peter Lindfield of Cardiff University - an expert on George Shaw - and Frances McIntosh of English Heritage, who looks after the Duke's Rooms at Warkworth Castle, where you can still see some of the George Shaw furniture bought by the 4th Duke. We found out just who George Shaw was, what happened when the duke figured out he'd been conned, and why this Victorian rogue might be considered a 19th century Robin Hood!
We hope you enjoy hearing all about it. To visit the Duke's Rooms, please visit the Warkworth Castle website through English Heritage for full information
