Greenways are important landscape ecology strategies. Landscape ecology and greenway planning were central to Julius Fábos's professional life and scholarship. This essay is a memorial to the late Julius Fábos (1932–2022), a Professor Emeritus at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. It traces Julius early upbringings in Hungary before and during World War II, his academic career in the United States, and his contributions to the Iberian Greenway Planning movement. Although Julius Fábos's work was conducted primarily in Northeastern United States, it spread worldwide due to his unparalleled vision, leadership, and joie de vivre. Iberian landscape planning benefited greatly from Julius Fábos recurrent visits to Southern Europe, and indirectly from having students study with him at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. After a thirty-five year teaching career, he launched a series of conferences aimed at disseminating knowledge on ecological thinking. The 7th Fábos Conference on Landscape and Greenway Planning took place 30 June–3 July 2022 in Budapest, Hungary. Julius Fábos's successful academic career offers many opportunities for inspiration and self-reflection, especially in the post-pandemic uncertain times of today. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Autobiographical in nature, this essay shares my remembrances of what it was like to be a graduate student during the late 1960s and early 1970s when both sport history and sport studies were in their infancy. I believe I am the only person to complete a graduate degree with both Marvin Eyler and Guy Lewis, two founders of the North American Society for Sport History (NASSH) and the organization's first and second presidents. Immensely helpful and complementary were Dave Wiggins's, "Marvin Eyler and His Students: A Legacy of Scholarship in Sport History" (2005), and Robert Barney and Jeffrey Segrave, "From Vision to Reality: The Pre-History of NASSH and the Fermentation of an Idea" (2014). Following then, is my attempt to reconstruct my experiences and accomplishments at Lock Haven State College, University of Massachusetts, University of Maryland, and University of Washington, which in many ways paralleled the formative years of NASSH and sport studies. In so doing, I include significant interactions with my three closest graduate student friends—William J. Morgan, Alan G. Ingham, and Stephen H. Hardy, who went on to distinguished careers and leadership positions in sport philosophy, sport sociology, and sport history, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AHMM has significant expertise in designing architecture for educational purposes. Ellis Woodman is an architecture critic and curator and the Director of the Architecture Foundation in London. He surveys this aspect of the practice, particularly in relation to the freeing up and creation of accessible, social space to learn within. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
