Book Description
The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.

Book Description
The proposed action is located on the west side of the city of Cedar Falls, Iowa. It would consist of a 2-lane urban roadway, with additional turning lanes, that would extend along existing Greenhill Road from its western terminus northwest to University Avenue, then north to West 27th Street. Access to the proposed facility would be allowed only at intersections with public streets and selected private access points approved by the city. It is anticipated that the intersection of the proposed facility with University Avenue would ultimately be signalized. The total length of the project is approximately 1.2 miles. The project would terminate near the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) West Campus, an area that includes a large university sports complex that produces significant university sports event-related traffic. Studies for the Greenhill Road corridor between University Avenue in Cedar Falls and Hackett Road in Waterloo date from the late 1970s and early to mid-1980s, and the Final Environmental Impact Statement for this section was signed in 1986. The section extending from just west of Hudson Road in Cedar Falls to Hackett Road in Waterloo was constructed in 1991. This section is currently classified by the city of Cedar Falls as a Major Arterial. Grading on a portion of the current project area south of University Avenue was completed in 2002. In the time since the original studies, the UNI West Campus has seen extensive growth, and the existing street system has experienced periods of overload. For this reason, studies began in 2006 on extending the Greenhill Road corridor north from University Avenue to West 27th Street.
