Abstract
In this article, the writer studies the character of Josiah Willard Gibbs, a mathematician and physicist. The writer discusses that he managed to achieve great things during his lifetime and lead the world on to greater and better scientific discoveries. The writer points out that Josiah Willard Gibbs has been recognized as one of the greatest American scientists of the nineteenth century. Further the writer notes that it is Gibbs who managed to provide a sound thermodynamic foundation to physical chemistry, to America and to the entire world.

From the Paper
"The second work that Gibbons published in the same year was "A Method of Geometrical Representation of the Thermodynamic Properties of Substances by Means of Surfaces". From the years from 1876 to 1878, Gibbs published two memoirs, which were later to be combined into one work, entitled, "On the Equilibrium of Heterogeneous Substances". Added to this, Josiah Willard Gibbs has contributed to various other spheres, like for example, crystallography, the determination of planetary and comet orbits, and also to electromagnetic theory. The most interesting phenomenon that Gibbs managed to achieve was that he made the practical side of science appealing and fascinating. Gibbs was also recognized as a 'theoretical physicist' of international stature, and he received a patent in the year 1866 for an improved type of railroad brake."

Abstract
This paper applies the Gibbs Reflective Model to a hypothetical clinical encounter. The writer explains that the Gibbs Reflection Model is one of several procedures that allow a professional nurse to assess professional competence through the analysis of a clinical encounter. The writer discusses the attributes of the Gibbs Reflection Model, that is a six element cycle through which a professional service deliverer can identify, reflect on and assess professional competency. A clinical encounter is assessed in this paper through application of the Gibbs Reflective Model in a professional nursing scenario.

Abstract
This paper reviews the life of Josiah Royce, born in the United States in 1855 and died in 1916. According to the paper, Royce was the leader of the idealistic school of thought in the United States and was personally a proponent of objective idealism. This study examines in more critical depth the philosophical approach of Royce, specifically focusing on the difference that Royce characterized between subjective and objective idealism. Further, how is idealism differentiated from realism? While these may seem like fairly straightforward examinations, understanding the tack that Royce used in demonstrating his arguments is more complicated.

Abstract
The paper examines how the Old Testament's works of Kings and Chronicles included the story of King Josiah's reformation in their texts. The paper continues that each told the story with emphasis on different aspects in order to teach different lessons.

From the Paper
"Transformations of the Story of King Josiah: A historian named Matt Clarcq once said that the art in history is how you tell it. Kings and Chronicles tell different transformations of the story of King Josiah, the great reformer, before the first destruction of the Temple. The differences in the story show how the writers of these Hebrew texts wanted to influence the people of their time. Kings was compiled by Deuteronomic editors. The purpose was to assemble the oral and written traditions into a continuous story."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the maturation of politician George Willard in the book "Winesburg, Ohio" by Sherwood Anderson. The author recounts Willard's role as the hero in all of the stories from the book of short stories and explains how Willard is taken as a landmark for the main point of view. The paper relates that although the intention of Anderson was to perceptively narrate the maturation process of Willard, it does not go unnoticed. This can be seen mainly through Willard's interactions with the other characters in the novel and his implication in most of the occurrences presented. The paper also notes that the last passage of the book, which describes Willard's departure, is very relevant because it highlights the fact that with his leave the process of maturation is completed.

From the Paper
"George Willard is virtually the hero of the book and the only character who appears throughout almost all of the separate stories. As in a usual novel, he is the main character of the book and as such, he is taken as a landmark for the main point of view. It is all the more interesting that the author manages to maintain the panoramic view of the action despite the fact that he does allow for a center or a main character as well. Life in the small town seems to flow regularly and to involve all its actors at once, while George Willard is only one of the actors who are focused more closely and more often."

Abstract
This paper explains that the two versions of King Josiah's reforms in 2 Kings 22-23 and 2 Chronicles 34-35 are similar, at least in the beginning. The version in Chronicles adds a second story concerning the keeping of the Passover. The author points out that both tales depict King Josiah as a great reformer, a king who restored the true traditions of Israel and who faithfully followed the precepts of God. The paper relates that both versions dwell on Josiah's actions in wiping out paganism; Josiah avails himself of every possible means to completely and totally erase from view objects and symbols of error.

From the Paper
"The stories of King Josiah's reign that are found in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles agree in their condemnation of bad practices. They agree too, in the need for God's order to be maintained and in the necessity of those who are charged with setting a good example to set such a good example. The second version adds to the original story only because the author feels that he must, as evidently the people of Israel have slipped even further from the righteous path. It made sense to him to include an accurate description of the celebration of Passover in the story of a King who was already widely believed to be especially holy and especially committed to the propagation of God's truth. Thus, these two versions of the same story differ because their intended audiences differ."

Abstract
This paper offers a brief examination of the history of Wedgwood pottery and the man who started the product, Josiah Wedgwood. Discusses the most famous products and why they were best-sellers.

From the Paper
"In addition to the wildly successful Cream Ware, or "Queen's Ware" as it became known, Wedgwood would also produce two other innovations that would set its success in stone. These were Black Basalt a fine black porcelain, and Jasper. Specifically, with the Black Basalt, Wedgwood could turn out tremendous product to meet the new "neoclassic" tastes of fashionable society-and with the innovative Jasper Ware; amazingly successful due to its durability yet delicacy combined with heretofore unachieved purity of color."

Abstract
This three-page undergraduate paper explores the relationship between Josiah's reform in Kings and Chronicles. The key to the comparison/contrast is the Deuteronomist's preoccupation with certain concepts and themes - notably covenant and faithfulness.

Abstract
In this paper, the two feminists Frances Willard and Mary Elizabeth Lease are compared and contrasted in their varying approaches toward feminist causes in the 19th and 20th centuries. The writer discusses that by understanding Lease's attack on capitalism in American through the Populist Party, she provides a far more economic point of view on the nature of women and the patriarchal values that limit their role in government.

Abstract
The paper reviews Willard Gaylin's "The Killing of Bonnie Garland" emphasizing the role of psychiatry and religion in trials.

From the Paper
"In "The Killing of Bonnie Garland", Willard Gaylin, a psychiatrist, examines the murder of a young female student at Yale named Bonnie Garland by her boyfriend Richard Herrin. Central to the book is the conflict between the two significantly different approaches to assessing Herrin's actions exhibited by his supporters in the Catholic Church and members of both the legal and psychiatric professions who define responsibility differently. Gaylin, quoting Bonnie Garland's mother, makes the case that Herrin escaped the full penalty of..."
