An enhanced preliminary assessment of Jefferson Proving Ground was performed to characterize the environmental impacts of actions occurring at the property, and to provide a basis for the development of remedial actions. Characterization was performed through examination of site activities, determination of the quantity of hazardous substances present, and evacuation of the potential pathways for contamination migration which would affect public health and the environment. Thirty-six solid waste management units and sixteen other areas requiring environmental evaluation were investigated. Recommendations for additional studies, sampling, and actions are contained in the summary. Actions include delineation of the actual limits of several waste disposal sites; installation of ground water monitoring wells; sampling of soils, surface and ground water; location of waste disposal areas; location of unexploded ordnance; and surveying of buildings for radon, asbestos, and lead paint.

A compilation of documents, letters, military rosters, local history papers, and newspaper articles relating to the residents of Monroe Township, Jefferson County, Indiana before the land was taken over by the United States government in 1940 for the building of Jefferson Proving Ground, an ammunitions testing center. The Jefferson Proving Ground was in operation from 1941 until 1995.

Ghosts and other supernatural phenomena are widely represented throughout modern culture. They can be found in any number of entertainment, commercial, and other contexts, but popular media or commodified representations of ghosts can be quite different from the beliefs people hold about them, based on tradition or direct experience. Personal belief and cultural tradition on the one hand, and popular and commercial representation on the other, nevertheless continually feed each other. They frequently share space in how people think about the supernatural. In Haunting Experiences, three well-known folklorists seek to broaden the discussion of ghost lore by examining it from a variety of angles in various modern contexts. Diane E. Goldstein, Sylvia Ann Grider, and Jeannie Banks Thomas take ghosts seriously, as they draw on contemporary scholarship that emphasizes both the basis of belief in experience (rather than mere fantasy) and the usefulness of ghost stories. They look closely at the narrative role of such lore in matters such as socialization and gender. And they unravel the complex mix of mass media, commodification, and popular culture that today puts old spirits into new contexts.
