INTRODUCTION Multiuse trails have been a prominent feature of park lands for many years. Now, multiuse rain gardens may become a prominent feature of many parks. Rain gardens have traditionally been used for catchment, retention, and filtration of impervious surface storm water runoff. Why can't they be used for more? County park districts and other agencies across Ohio (and elsewhere) are being pushed more and more toward finding inexpensive creative multi-solutions to issues as a result of limited budgets. Rain Gardens, bio-swales, butterfly gardens, nature education, natural play, and natural habitat creation all go hand-in-hand… naturally.
This cluster represents a new feature for the Royal Studies Journal, and an editorial attempt to place the life of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (1921-2021) within various historical, thematic, and scholarly contexts current in royal studies. It showcases some recent and ongoing work in the field as well as suggesting new lines of research and will hopefully prove a valuable starting point for students and new scholarship on traditional royal studies themes, such as consorts or dynasties and more specifically modern and contemporary monarchy. As well as a brief editorial introduction, six mini essays are presented within this piece considering Philip’s life as topic of study within the following contexts: Valerie Schutte, “Driving the Monarchy: Prince Philip and Land Rover;” Brandy Jolliff Scott, “Prince Philip’s Legacy and Foreign Policy: Analyzing the Role of Constitutional Monarchy in World Politics;” Jessica Storoschuk, “‘We Don’t Come to Canada For Our Health:’” A Surprisingly Strong Relationship Between Prince Philip and Canada;” Aidan Jones, “Greece, The British Navy and an Earlier Duke of Edinburgh;” Carolyn Harris, “Prince Philip and the Last Imperial Family of Russia,” and Sarah Betts, “Prince Philip On Screen.” ERRATA: Please note the following correction to Harris' contribution--Prince Philip's birthday should be 10 June 1921, not 10 April.
