The Trouble with Higher Education is a powerful and topical
critique of the Higher Education system in the UK, with relevance
to countries with similar systems. Based on the authors experiences
that span over 30+ years of fieldwork, the issues discussed focus
on the problems facing the principle responsibilities of
universities: teaching, learning and research.
The first half of the book identifies a number of problems that
have followed the growth of mass education. It examines their
causes and explains their damaging effects. The second half of the
book offers a broad vision and makes a number of practical
suggestions for ameliorating the problems and improving higher
education. Supported by research, the suggestions include: ways of
managing universities; proper inspection; better ways of organising
students learning; improving teaching and learning; better
approaches to assessment, and the proper use of ideas such as
learning outcomes.
Topics discussed include:
- Chronic under-funding, the replacement of student grants with
loans and the introduction of tuition fees.
- The growth of managerialism.
- The emphasis on accountability and decline of trust.
- The growth of a competitive, market ethos.
- Modular degrees, knowledge treated as a commodity and students
seen as customers.
- The drift towards a two-tiered system, with teaching colleges
and research universities.
- Casualisation of the academic profession.
The Trouble with Higher Education is aimed primarily at a
professional audience of academics, educationalists, managers,
administrators and policy makers, but would interest anyone
concerned about higher education. It is suited to professional
development courses, and Master s and doctoral level studies.

commercial airline pilot and author of the popular website

theater of air travel is actually fascinating. From the intricate
design of airport architecture to the logistics of inflight

nothing to comfort nervous fliers. And what's scarier than the
unknown? In this aviation book, pilot Patrick Smith breaks down
that barrier and tells you everything you need to know about
flying, including: How planes fly, and a revealing look at the men
and women who fly them Straight talk on turbulence, pilot training,
and safety The real story on delays, congestion, and the
dysfunction of the modern airport The myths and misconceptions of

provocative look at security Airfare, seating woes, and the
pitfalls of airline customer service The true colors and cultures
of the airlines we love to hateCockpit Confidential is a
thoughtful, funny, and at times deeply personal look into the
strange and misunderstood world of commercial flying. If you liked
other books about airplanes for adults, including Soar by Tom Bunn
or Skyfaring, you'll find reassurance, humor, and guidance in
Cockpit Confidential. "Anyone remotely afraid of flying should read
this book, as should anyone who appreciates good writing and great
information." -The New York Times, on ASK THE PILOT "Patrick Smith

Amid current arguments related to human life and dignity,
Christians must be clear about how their faith speaks to such
concerns and what other outlooks have to say. This book brings
together noted ethicists--Russell DiSilvestro, David P. Gushee, Amy
Laura Hall, John F. Kilner, Gilbert C. Meilaender, Scott B. Rae,
and Patrick T. Smith--to make a Christian case for human dignity.
It offers a robust critique of five influential alternative
positions, including the emerging outlook of transhumanism, showing
how a Christian view supports the crucial idea that people matter
in a way other views cannot.
This book focuses on Learning in the Round which is a term taken
from the theatre to describe an approach to learning, teaching and
professional development in which three sets of actors
participants, specialists and facilitators work together. Using
their collective knowledge they explore work-based issues and
topics in order to convert personal experience into productive
knowledge. Learning in the Round acknowledges the importance of
both experience and social aspects of learning by means of group
interaction in order to create understanding.

Julius Watkins was the first prominent jazz French horn player in
the history of American music. Although his performance
capabilities were comparable to those of other significant
performers of traditional horn repertoire, Watkins has received
little attention posthumously from music scholars, jazz artists,
and other performers of his instrument. The purpose of this book is
threefold: to document Julius' complete life story for the first
time in biographical form, to determine his performance
characteristics within chamber jazz ensembles of various
instrumental combinations, and to explore the development of the
jazz French horn genre from 1977 to the present day. In writing
this book, it is my goal to create not only awareness for this
style of French horn playing, but to educate other musicians and
potential audience members internationally on the subject of Julius
Watkins, his professional accomplishments and performance style,
and of this rare artistic form.
Due to the very old age and scarcity of this book, many of the
pages may be hard to read due to the blurring of the original text.

have you ever asked yourself, "Why do things happen the way they

it that I am still alive?" "Was it coincidence that led me to meet
the companion of my dreams?" Or, "How did I ever fall into this
job?" The answer is simple. Meet the Field Agents of Fates Rescue.
Kyle, Tiffany, Winston, Allan, and thousands of other employees are
those who are in charge of manipulating the fates of mankind. The
company, Fates Rescue, is the largest corporation in the world
