“Wise and heartbreaking” (Ann Napolitano), this captivating epic weaves the intimate lives of two Midwestern families across generations, from World War II to the late twentieth century. In the small Ohio town of Bonhomie, a stolen moment of passion, sparked in the exuberant aftermath of the Allied victory in Europe, binds Cal Jenkins, a man wounded not in war but by his inability to serve in it, to Margaret Salt, a woman trying to obscure her past. Cal’s wife, Becky, has a spiritual gift: she is a seer who can conjure the dead, helping families connect with those whom they’ve lost. Margaret’s husband, Felix, is serving on a Navy cargo ship; she will soon learn that he may have perished in a predawn attack in the Philippine Sea. As the country reconstructs during the postwar boom, a secret grows in Bonhomie—but nothing stays buried forever in a small town. Against the backdrop of some of the most transformative decades in modern America, the consequences of that long-ago encounter ripple through the next generation of both families, compelling them to re-examine who they thought they were, and what the future might hold. Sweeping yet intimate, rich with piercing observation and the warmth that comes from profound understanding of the human spirit, Buckeye captures the universal longing for love, and for goodness.

This thesis considers readdressing previous proposals for developing an urban riverfront presence in downtown Athens, Georgia. There have been several proposals for connecting the downtown core to the North Oconee River. As infill development continues downtown, the opportunity for sensible urban expansion to the river edge exists. Athens has a similar history to many other American cities founded on an edge of water. It includes the familiar progression of founding the city based on the river asset, exploiting its water resource to power a manufacturing economy, and ultimately neglecting it after technological change shifted the markets, leaving the river an abandoned environmental brownfield, disconnected from the urban realm. The goal is to provide information, site design proposal and strategies that will create a motive for Athens to consider smart development options to connect the downtown to its river, establishing an urban river presence.

Civilian leaders interpret the value of war in terms of political ends, while military leaders often pursue victory itself as war''s object. An empowered military can therefore make war harder to end. Estimates from international conflict data show that termination of a war short of victory is more likely when civilian leaders become more politically dominant. However, civil-military consequences for war termination arise from more than outright shocks to political power. Survey experimental evidence demonstrates that senior U.S. military leaders can use typical political activities to recruit public support for persisting in wars and create costs for elected leaders who want to end them. Finally, qualitative analysis of the U.S. post-9/11 wars and text analysis of a new data set of congressional testimony yield evidence of military dissent and its influence on presidential policy decisions. Altogether, this dissertation moves beyond war termination''s civil-military problem, which is about whether and how to stop fighting, and sheds light on the problem of its civil-military politics, which is about how to define war''s end but also how to resolve competing claims.
