An Interview with Cass R. Sunstein: Author of The World According to Star Wars
No full textThe guest editors of special issue 12, Jason W. Ellis and Sean Scanlan, interview Cass R. Sunstein, the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard, where he is founder and director of the Program on Behavioral Economics and Public Policy. He is the author of many books, including the bestseller Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness (with Richard H. Thaler). His 2016 book The World According to Star Wars attempts to understand the Star Wars universe in ten chapters through the lenses of Sunstein’s academic interests, namely: culture, sociology, psychology, behavioral science, and political science. The book is both personal and theoretical, practical and academic. It takes accurate measure of the genesis of the movies, the movies themselves, and briefly, but trenchantly, it examines concepts such as reputational cascades and speculates on what Star Wars can teach viewers about constitutional disputes

Sprawl: A Compact History (Author: Robert Bruegmann)
No full textSearch a well-stocked library or bookstore for works on urban form and you might reach the same conclusion drawn by Robert Bruegmann: "Most of what has been written about sprawl to date has been written about com plaints" (p. 3). But what separates Bruegmann, a professor of art history, architecture, and urban planning at the University of Illinois at Chicago, from most people is what he does next. "[S]o many 'right-minded' people were so vociferous on the subject that I began to suspect that there must be something suspicious about the argument itself" (p. 8). The result of this questioning is a work lauded by Alexander Garvin on the book's jacket as no less than "the most important book on the American landscape since Jane Jacobs' The Death and Life of Great American Cities". This surprisingly ebullient endorsement from one of the most public personalities in city planning should make us all take notice

Directing Jason Robert Brown\u27s The Last Five Years in an Educational Theatre Environment
No full textThis thesis explores the process of directing Jason Robert Brown’s musical The Last Five Years in an educational theatre setting. The author, Philip J. Gill, documents his approach to staging this complex, two-character show, which presents a unique narrative structure—one character moves forward in time while the other moves backward. Gill discusses his directorial vision, emphasizing the importance of time, musical transitions, and abstract staging to enhance the storytelling. He details the audition and casting process, highlighting challenges such as selecting actors who could meet the vocal and emotional demands of the roles.
The thesis also examines the collaboration with designers to create a flexible, evocative set and lighting plan that supports the show’s unconventional timeline. The rehearsal process focused on character development, blocking, and integrating musical elements seamlessly into the performance. Gill reflects on the obstacles he faced, including refining scene transitions and working within the constraints of an educational theatre environment. Through critical analysis and evaluation of the production’s execution, he identifies lessons learned about communication, decision-making, and directing techniques. Ultimately, the project serves as a case study in how The Last Five Years can be successfully adapted for an academic theatre setting while maintaining its artistic integrity

Selected topics in interventional radiology: a compendium of student honors papers on the Interventional radiology elective
No full textThis book is a collaborative effort with medical students from the Rutgers/Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, previously Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. The students contributed chapters written as honors papers,while on their Interventional Radiology elective. This publication is not meant to completely cover the ever expanding realm of interventional radiology but includes topics of interest to the students while on their elective. It has been rewarding to work with these amazing students, many of whom have elected to practice diagnostic and interventional radiology. This work was supported by a small grant from the Rutgers Library to create affordable books. As it is self published please overlook minor flaws.
The newest area of interventional radiology, interventional oncology, will be covered in subsequent chapters as they are written. As with other dynamic fields of medicine some material becomes outdated soon after it is written.

Military housing privatization and the promise of design innovation
No full textThesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Program in Real Estate Development in Conjunction with the Center for Real Estate , 2009.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (p. 66-68).The objective of this paper is to answer the question, "Has the military housing privatization process produced design innovation?" Secondary questions are, "What specific role has the Army's Residential Communities Initiative played in fostering innovation? What are the key process drivers? What (if any) specific building product innovations have arisen from an architectural, sustainability, construction technology and community planning perspective over the last 10-15 years?" Particular emphasis is paid to design measures employed by the development partners to ensure client satisfaction, maintain the competitiveness of their product on the open market and preserve long term partnerships with the U.S. Government. Consideration is given to the ways in which the Army has streamlined the privatization solicitation process to foster private sector innovation and what impacts these efforts have had on both design drivers and customer satisfaction levels. Specific examples of planning, design and construction innovation are explored through case studies. The author concludes that privatization has produced significant innovation and high customer satisfaction in the military housing market. However, there is still room for further program innovation in light of parallel trends in university student housing privatization, public housing privatization and the private market. Research methodology included relevant literature review and direct, focused interviews with key industry players from the U.S. Government, design and development arenas. These approaches were augmented with select, relevant case study analyses and supporting site visits..by Jason Ellis.S.M
