The Oxford Handbook of Aristotle reflects the lively international character of Aristotelian studies drawing contributors from the United Kingdom the United States Germany France Switzerland Italy Canada and Japan; it also appropriately includes a preponderance of authors from the University of Oxford which has been a center of Aristotelian studies for many centuries. The volume equally reflects the broad range of activity Aristotelian studies comprise today: such activity ranges from the primarily textual and philological to the application of broadly Aristotelian themes to contemporary problems irrespective of their narrow textual fidelity. In between these extremes one finds the core of Aristotelian scholarship as it is practiced today and as it is primarily represented in this Handbook: textual exegesis and criticism. Even within this more limited core activity one witnesses a rich range of pursuits with some scholars seeking primarily to understand Aristotle in his own philosophical milieu and others seeking rather to place him into direct conversation with contemporary philosophers and their present-day concerns. No one of these enterprises exhausts the field. On the contrary one of the most welcome and enlivening features of the contemporary Aristotelian scene is precisely the cross-fertilization these mutually beneficial and complementary activities offer one another. The volume prefaced with an introduction to Aristotle s life and works by the editor covers the main areas of Aristotelian philosophy and intellectual enquiry: ethics metaphysics politics logic language psychology rhetoric poetics theology physical and biological investigation and philosophical method. It also and distinctively looks both backwards and forwards: two chapters recount Aristotle s treatment of earlier philosophers who proved formative to his own orientations and methods and another three chapters chart the long afterlife of Aristotle s philosophy in Late Antiquity in the Islamic World and in the Latin West.

In Online Education: Global Questions Local Answers 24 college educators focus on the most important questions to be addressed by all scholar-teachers and administrators committed to developing high-quality online education programs. We describe these questions as global because they transcend the particular situations of individual institutions. They are questions that everyone involved in online education needs to address: What are the issues to consider when first developing and then sustaining an online education program? How do we create interactive pedagogically sound online courses and classroom communities? How should we monitor and assess the quality of online courses and programs? And how should recent developments and innovations in online education cause us to reexamine our roles and responsibilities as educators in technical communication?While these global questions affect all of us in one way or another they demand different local answers such as those presented by the contributors to this text. Readers will need to consider which of these local answers might apply to their own situations and how these answers might need to be adapted to reflect the particular needs of their own institutions.
