State and Local Government and Politics, 3rd Edition

CC BY-NC-SA (Attribution NonCommercial ShareAlike)   English

Author(s): Christopher A. Simon, Brent S. Steel, Nicholas P. Lovrich

Subject(s): Regional, state and other local government

Institution(s): Oregon State University

Publisher: Oregon State University

Publication date: 2024-09-23

Last updated: 2026-05-28

This book is the third edition of a collective effort to understand and apply current conceptualizations of sustainability to a study of state and local government. It is an attempt to focus our attention on a basic understanding of the time-tested institutions and guiding principles likely to take society and governance towards greater advancement. Our work is, however, tempered by a developing understanding of smart growth — growth in productive capacity, quality of life and social justice that does not necessitate large-scale destructive or extractive activity. The growth sought produces widespread mutual benefit, is prudent in design and thoughtful in execution. The growth in question here is mindful of the past, yet builds better lives and futures for our posterity.

Romeo and Juliet

CC BY-NC-SA (Attribution NonCommercial ShareAlike)   English

Author(s): Rebecca Olson

Subject(s): Literary studies: plays and playwrights

Publisher: Oregon State University

Publication date: 2021-04-06

Last updated: 2026-05-21

This edition of Romeo and Juliet was edited by students for students. We believe that reliably edited versions of the play should be available for free online. But we wanted ours to be easy to get in other ways as well. The editors—Oregon State University students who remember, far better than their professors, what it was like to read the play for the first time—carefully considered every pronoun, punctuation mark, and footnote. Our goal: to make a friendly, confidence-building edition that supported classroom activities at the high school and college level.
