TL;DR: Carson focuses her study on the careers and ideas of settlement founders and leaders, among them Jane Addams, Robert Woods, Mary Simkhovitch, Lillian Wald, and Graham Taylor as discussed by the authors, and demonstrates how influential, often charismatic leaders appropriated and adapted certain Victorian values such as the Social Gospel and the religion of character to their visions of urban reform through action and experimentation.
Abstract: Mina Carson deftly merges social and intellectual history to reconsider the settlement movement its Anglo-American roots and evolution, its conflicts and accomplishments. Carson focuses her study on the careers and ideas of settlement founders and leaders, among them Jane Addams, Robert Woods, Mary Simkhovitch, Lillian Wald, and Graham Taylor. She demonstrates how these influential, often charismatic leaders appropriated and adapted certain Victorian values such as the Social Gospel and the religion of character to their visions of urban reform through action and experimentation. These extraordinary individuals left an enduring legacy of beliefs about professional and voluntary responsibility for welfare services. As Carson shows, however, their genius for image creation and their myriad connections with other intellectual and social leaders extended the influence of the settlement ideology in many directions: fostering new attitudes toward the American city and the equality of the sexes, initiating a new social-scientific approach to social problems, and shaping the self-definition of the American educated middle class.

TL;DR: The authors found that human settlement of the Pacific islands began as early as the Pleistocene epoch (3500 BP) and computer modelling and analysis of inter-island transits explains not just how settlement was possible but also how it must have followed from the controlled navigation of directed voyages and strategies for survival.
Abstract: There is no expansion of human settlement to match the colonization of the Pacific islands, from Island Southeast Asia right across to Hawaii, Easter Island and down to New Zealand. The expansion is given an extra interest by the new finding that it began as early as the Pleistocene. The settlement of the remote Pacific began after 3500 BP and computer modelling and analysis of inter-island transits explains not just how settlement was possible-but how it must have followed from the controlled navigation of directed voyages and strategies for survival.

TL;DR: In this article, a case study of how invaders organize, negotiate and interact with government in Lima, Peru considers what is meant by "citizen participation", especially the different meanings that the term has for the different actors involved.
Abstract: Participation: a case study of how invaders organize, negotiate and interact with government in Lima, Peru considers what is meant by "citizen participation", especially the different meanings that the term has for the different actors involved. The discussion is illustrated by the story of a land invasion in Lima in 1971 and the compromise negotiated between the invaders and the government which led to the formation of a new settlement, Villa El Salvador. The paper outlines the changing view of participation within government between 1971 to 1980 and how this affected Villa El Salvador.

TL;DR: The history of a frontier county in late colonial Virginia is described in this article, where white immigrants rapidly created a deferential and hierarchical society identical in its major features to contemporary counties throughout colonial Virginia, including landholding, control of labor, religious diversity and resistance to magisterial authority.
Abstract: This is a history of a frontier county in late colonial Virginia. Augusta County was created in 1738 and subdivided for the first time in 1770. During the intervening years it encompassed most of Virginia's claims to land west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. As drawn by Virginians, the borders of Augusta County simultaneously encompassed two types of frontiers: a frontier of settlement on which white immigrants created a new society, and a frontier of culture in which those settlers interacted with a variety of Indians. This study examines both types of frontier experiences. On the settlement frontier, white immigrants rapidly created a deferential and hierarchical society identical in its major features to contemporary counties throughout colonial Virginia. The aspects of white society examined by this dissertation include landholding, control of labor, religious diversity, and resistance to magisterial authority. In the cultural frontier, Indian-white relations included routinely peaceful contacts as well as occasional violent outbursts. Cherokees responded to white expansion primarily with diplomacy and accomodation, while the tribes of the upper Ohio River Valley chose more militant resistance. For contemporary whites and Indians, the complex frontier that was colonial Augusta County seemed at times to offer great rewards. Red or white, individual successes in realizing those rewards varied widely, depending partly on chance and larger historical events beyond local control. One constant continually influenced both destinies—the form and function of white society. That society, simultaneously conservative and dynamic, supported the expansion of colonial Virginia into the North American interior.
