Moving debates about ICT and higher education beyond a simple
focus on e-learning, this book takes into consideration the
provision of post-secondary education as a whole.
Discussing what is meant by e-business, why e-business approaches
are relevant to universities and colleges and the key issues this
raises for post-secondary education, this book:
- examines emerging technologies and provides examples of what an
e-institution for education might look like
- explores what can be learnt from e-business in re-defining the
relationships between enterprises and their users and in developing
processes to improve services and competitive advantage
- considers how to improve administrative efficiency, implement
faster access and response to information, enhance skills and
knowledge development and improve the student experience
- examines technological innovation and integration, leadership
styles, risk assessment and cost-benefit type analyses,
re-designing existing organisational frameworks, techniques for
overcoming barriers to change and successfully implementing change
and the types of technologies required for an e-integrated
educational provision
In a highly competitive educational marketplace, institutions
need to react to and embrace new technologies to provide rich and
competitive learning environments for the students of tomorrow. The
discussion and guidance in this book is essential reading for all
leaders, managers and heads of e-learning in higher and further

Joseph Carey Merrick, born in England on August 5, 1952, is better
known as The Elephant Man. Through horrible physical deformities
which were almost impossible to describe, he spent much of his life
exhibited as a fairground freak until even nineteenth-century
sensibilities could take no more. Hounded, persecuted and starving,
he ended up at London's Liverpool Street Station where he was
rescued, housed and fed by the distinguished surgeon Frederick
Treves. To Treves' surprise, he discovered during the course of
their friendship that lurking beneath the mass of Merrick's
corrupting flesh lived a spirit that was as courageous as it had
been tortured, and a nature as gentle and dignified as it had been
deprived and tormented. The subject of several books, a Broadway
hit, and a film, Joseph Merrick has become part of popular
mythology. Here, in this fully revised edition containing new
details, are the true and unromantic facts of his life. This is an
extraordinary and moving story, set among the brutal realities of
the Victorian world, telling of a tragic individual and his
survival against overwhelming odds.

Glenn Ford--star of such now-classic films as "Gilda," "Blackboard
Jungle," "The Big Heat," "3:10 to Yuma," and "The Rounders"--had
rugged good looks, a long and successful career, and a glamorous
Hollywood life. Yet the man who could be accessible and charming on
screen retreated to a deeply private world he created behind closed
doors.
"Glenn Ford: A Life" chronicles the volatile life, relationships,
and career of the renowned actor, beginning with his move from
Canada to California and his initial discovery of theater. It
follows Ford's career in diverse media--from film to television to
radio--and shows how Ford shifted effortlessly between genres,
playing major roles in dramas, noir, westerns, and romances.
This biography by Glenn Ford's son, Peter Ford, offers an intimate
view of a star's private and public life. Included are exclusive
interviews with family, friends, and professional associates, and
snippets from the Ford family collection of diaries, letters,
audiotapes, unpublished interviews, and rare candid photos. This
biography tells a cautionary tale of Glenn Ford's relentless
infidelities and long, slow fade-out, but it also embraces his
talent-driven career. The result is an authentic Hollywood story
that isn't afraid to reveal the truth.

Critical thinking is a major and enduring aspect of higher
education and the development of criticality in students has long
been a core aim. However, understandings of criticality are
conceptually and empirically unclear. The book combines a well
developed conceptual discussion of the nature of criticality
appropriate for the twenty-first century, the extent to which it is
attainable by arts and social science undergraduates, and the paths
by which it is developed during students' higher education
experiences. Drawing upon empirical accounts and case studies of
teaching and learning in different disciplines, this book
critically analyses higher education curriculum and policy
documentation to explore higher educational processes, encouraging
a re-evaluation of practice and educational values, and enabling
the development of curricula which incorporate systematic attention
to the development of student criticality. This book proposes a
rounded conceptual vision of criticality in higher education for
the twenty-first century.
