Liddell Debora L.

Facilitating the Moral Growth of College Students. New Directions for Student Services, Number 139

Moral development is a powerful task of young adulthood, and attending to that development is a mandate expected of institutions of higher education. Liddell and Cooper offer a practical approach to understanding how moral learning occurs as well as the role of mentors and educators in facilitating that learning. Using Rest's Four Component Model–moral sensitivity, judgement, motivation, and action–they describe powerful campus initiatives for moral growth, including service learning, civic...

The Evolutionary Strategies that Shape Ecosystems

In 1837 a young Charles Darwin took his notebook, wrote «I think» and then sketched a rudimentary, stick-like tree. Each branch of Darwin's tree of life told a story of survival and adaptation – adaptation of animals and plants not just to the environment but also to life with other living things. However, more than 150 years since Darwin published his singular idea of natural selection, the science of ecology has yet to account for how contrasting evolutionary outcomes affect the ability of...
