Pittsburgh has long been in the forefront of developing sports facilities, from Forbes Field, one of the first "modern" concrete and steel ballparks, and PNC Park, the best of the new millennium's retro design movement, to Schenley Casino and Duquesne Garden, the first artificial indoor ice rinks, and the engineering marvel of the Civic Arena's movable dome. Pittsburgh's Historic Stadiums and Arenas chronicles Pittsburgh's professional baseball, football, hockey, and basketball venues. Photographs cover the design and construction phases, the major changes as facilities expanded and aged, and eventually the demolition of some venues. The great players, teams, and moments are not the focus; there are many other books to tell their stories. Instead, the stadiums and arenas take center stage in this unique history of Pittsburgh sports and architecture.

The approach used in this course is predicated on the perception that non-native students normally begin their studies of the language with Codified Standard Russian (CSR) i.e. the way that Russians write, not the way they talk]. Therefore, Colloquial Russian (CR) is presented as a modification of CSR with which the student is already familiar. The course shows how CSR constructions are changed into colloquial constructions by the "omission" of elements from the CSR constructions. To a native speaker the omitted elements are implied by the remaining portion of the construction, but to a non-native student of the language these "missing" elements are a great source of confusion. The course presents a series of models to help the non-native student "reconstruct" more familiar CSR constructions from condensed colloquial variants. Student critiques from the courses where this book has been used have been very positive about the material. * "A course of this type was very much needed, and I hope it remains on the curriculum." * "I found it highly interesting, informative and useful." * "Well structured. Plenty of examples." * "This is the first course I've taken that really addresses colloquial Russian." * "I liked learning about condensates in general. Now I keep finding them in English." * "I liked learning about the ways things are carried in dictionaries and the way they change with time."
Ferenc Morton Szasz was a lifelong student who became a professor of history at the University of New Mexico. As a one-year appointment at the Albuquerque campus evolved into a forty-year career, Szasz glimpsed the predictable unpredictability that he would eventually discern as one of history's most enduring and elusive traits. The connections and consequences along the way forged a truly exceptional life and career. Szasz's interests, he insisted, were the "ideas of the people ... and how they shift over time." In an era when historical scholarship became increasingly specialized, he pursued an eclectic array of research interests and challenged his doctoral students to do the same. The ten selections of Szasz's writings that are the primary content of this volume balance insights into history's great moments with attention to events and details often overlooked by more conventional historians.
