This handbook provides all those teaching in higher and further
education with a reference on how to develop and use a "toolkit"
which is capable of exploring and assessing all the relevant
aspects of their students' learning. It discusses how readers can
assess their own teaching quality.
"This innovative and readable book is not something to be
cherry-picked for quick hints and tips. It is a work to be read and
re-read and savoured for its humanity, sagacity, practicality and
reflection upon the all-important relationships between teaching
and learning and the teacher and the learner." British Journal of
Educational Technology"...a delightful and unusual reflective
journey...the whole book is driven by a cycle of questions,
examples, strategies and generalizations from the examples. In all,
it is the clearest example of practise-what-you-preach that I have
seen." John Biggs, Honorary Professor of Psychology, University of
Hong Kong "This is a unique book, written by a well-known figure in
HE who has broad experience and a long track record as an exemplary
and caring teacher...The book is unique because it is written in a
very personal manner, with a sharing of the author's varied
experiences and great enthusiasm for the processes of teaching and
communication." Jenny Moon, Bournemouth Media Centre and
Independent Consultant "[Cowan's] innovative approach to the
authorship of a well researched and practical book is worthy of
particular mention...Practitioners that are keen to allow spaces
for innovative approaches to professional development in learners
will find this text readable and thought provoking." Teaching in
Higher EducationOn Becoming an Innovative University Teacher shows
readers how to plan and run innovative activities to engage their
students in effective reflective learning. The book uses an unusual
and accessible method: each chapter begins by posing a question
with which university and college teachers can be expected to
identify; then answers the question by presenting a series of
examples, thereafter the writer frankly airs his own second
thoughts on what he has offered.In the second edition of this
popular book, Cowan maintains his relaxed and readable style, and
the book features revised coverage to make it even more accessible
and useful. The examples have been updated throughout and a new
chapter looks at innovation and reflection in the context of
contemporary higher education.This is key reading for all
university teachers, whether new or experienced, who want to
revitalise their teaching.

Thousands in the Western world have sought a brighter life through
the practice of Eastern meditation. While many have experienced a
deeper sense of calm, most have never experienced the enlightenment
promised by these methods. Through witty, entertaining anecdotes,
Hawk Rising shares the secret to understanding, observing, and then
managing a calming approach that softens, but does not stifle the
desire for achievement.
John Cowan has spent his lifetime learning within the worlds of
spirituality and motivational psychology and offers an innovative
method derived from the Buddhist system that effectively reduces
anxiety through meditation and visualization. Cowan teaches through
exercises and personal stories that viewing the imagination as part
of the here and now will end frustration and increase the ability
to begin each day with renewed power and confidence.
Anyone interested in remaining in the hustle and bustle of the
world and still achieving a new level of inner-peace will benefit
from his explorations of the sources of anxiety, its causes, and
how to develop a method for being usefully anxious while living a
free, active, and creative life.

In "Taking Jesus Seriously," the words of Jesus become clearer
when matched with the practices and insights of Buddhist
meditation. This book presents a Christian way to implement the
words of Jesus by looking inside to see what stands between the
reader and God's kingdom. Cowan connects everyday examples and
Jesus' words to the method of Buddhist vipassana or insight
meditation by offering instruction, perception, and guidance. With
practice, readers can begin to notice what is actual, leave anxiety
to the Father, accept pain, and see the world as a child would.
