The primary thrust of the proposed volume is to provide information
for higher education minority serving institutions (MSIs) and other
institutions and individuals interested in providing and/or
improving mentoring programs and services to a variety of target
groups. The editors are interested in how mentorship can produce
beneficial outcomes for the mentor that may be similar to or
different from outcomes in other educational contexts. Thus, the
purpose of this volume is to showcase, through case studies and
other forms of empirical research, how successful mentoring
programs and relationships at MSIs have been designed and
implemented. Additionally, we will examine the various definitions
and slight variations of the meaning of the construct of mentoring
within the MSI context. It is our intent to share aspects of
mentoring programs and relationships as well as their outcomes that
have heretofore been underrepresented and underreported in the
research literature.

Just as Hughes's earlier books had engaged with the political
issues of the 1940s - the legacy of the Depression, and the
struggles against fascism and rascism - so 'The Expendable Man',
published in 1963 during Kennedy's presidency and set in Arizona,
evokes the emerging social, racial and moral tensions of the time.
"People who run cities like to play Simcity to find out how
impossible their jobs are. Hughes gives everyone a chance to play a
kind of Simplanet, with outcomes far more complex and uncertain. In
the process, the book and the computer program provide a coherent
path to understanding an anarchic world." --Ronald A. Francisco,
University of Kansas "What will be the future of human demographic,
economic, environmental, and political-social systems throughout
the 21st century? Where do current changes appear to be taking us?

International Futures helps readers understand such global trends
in demographic, economic, energy, food, environmental, and
socio-political systems. It allows businesspeople, government
officials, and others to think concretely about global futures in
each of these areas. It is the only book on the market that allows
readers to use a computer simulation to track global trends and to
develop alternative scenarios around those trends. It is one of
relatively few books that really brings computer technology into
the classroom, boardroom, or policy planning commission. The
International Futures (IFs) computer simulation, around which the
book is built, is now widely used in policy analysis as well as
education. It has been instrumental in projects undertaken by such
groups as the European Commission, the U.S. National Intelligence
Council, and the United Nations. After three decades of development
and refinement, the computer model is now easy to access and use.

Strengthening Governance Globally is the fifth volume in a series
entitled Patterns of Potential Human Progress that explores
prospects for human development and the improvement of the global
human condition. Each volume considers one key aspect of how
development appears to be unfolding globally, how we would like it
to evolve, and how better to move it in desired directions. This
volume identifies the provision of security, the building of
government capacity, and the broadening and deepening of inclusion
as three dimensions of governance on which high-income countries
have traditionally made long, halting, and somewhat sequential
historical transitions. In contrast, many developing countries
today struggle with all three governance transition dimensions
simultaneously and in a relative rush to broadly defined
development. The volume maps and uses the growing empirical
database on governance variables for understanding historical
change on these dimensions and in recent decades.
Education is one of the most fundamental prerequisites to economic
growth and social stability in the world. It is also one of the
most inadequately realized goals of development, with the average
education of global adults remaining essentially at primary
levels."Advancing Global Education" is the second in a series of
volumes that explores prospects for human development how
development appears to be unfolding globally and locally, how we
would like it to evolve, and how better to assure that we move it
in desired directions. The first volume addressed the reduction of
global poverty. The third will turn to the enhancement of global
health. The series Patterns of Potential Human Progress is inspired
by the UN Human Development Report, the UN Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs), and other initiatives to improve the global
condition. The foundation for the book is a large-scale computer
program called International Futures (IFs), developed over three
decades and based at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for
International Futures within the Josef Korbel School of
International Studies at the University of Denver. The forecasts
are long-term, looking 50 years into the future, thereby
anticipating the needs of the global community to think well beyond
the MDGs. Analyses in volumes in the series draw on deeply
integrated representation of a wide range of human development
arenas including demographics, economics, education,
socio-political contexts, agriculture, energy, and the environment.
"Advancing Global Education" presents the most extensive set of
forecasts of global education participation and attainment levels
to date providing and exploring a massive, multi-issue database and
proposing a scenario for accelerating educational attainment
throughout major world regions and 183 countries.Questions the IFs
model allows readers to explore about global education include: "

This is the first volume in an ambitious new series-"Patterns of
Potential Human Progress"-inspired by the UN Millennium Development
Goals (MGDs) and other initiatives to improve the global condition.
The first and most fundamental of these goals-reducing poverty
worldwide-is the focus of this book. Using the large-scale computer
program called International Futures (IFs), developed over three
decades at the prestigious University of Denver Graduate School of
International Studies, this book explores the most extensive set of
forecasts of global poverty ever made-providing a wide range of
scenarios based on an authoritative array of data. It transcends
the "$1 a day" baseline measure of poverty and probes important
concepts like income poverty gaps and relative poverty. The
forecasts are long-term, looking 50 years into the future, far
beyond the 2015 date set out by the MDGs. They are geographically
rich, spanning the entire globe and drilling down to the country
level, including one of the most important global focal points,
India. The poverty forecasts in this book, and all the volumes in
the series, are fully integrated in perspective across a wide range
of human development arenas including demographics, economics,
politics, agriculture, energy, and the environment. Full of
colorful and thoughtfully designed graphs, tables, maps, and other
visual presentations of data and forecasts, this large-format
inaugural volume ensures that the "Patterns of Potential Human
Progress" series will become an indispensable resource for every
development professional, student, professor, library, and indeed,
country around the world.

This book gives the geological history of the river Nile since it
started to excavate its course in the Egyptian plateaus in late
Miocene time in response to the lowering sea level of the desic
cating Mediterranean. It formed a canyon longer, deeper, and just
as awe inspiring as the Grand Canyon, Arizona. The canyon was
transgressed by the advancing Mediterranean as it started filling
during the early Pliocene, and since then by a number of rivers
which ebbed and flowed as they succeeded one another. The modern
Nile is a recent and humble successor to mighty rivers which once
occupied the Nile Valley. Dallas, Texas Rushdi Said August 1981
Acknowledgments This book is based on field work carried out in
Egypt during the seasons 1961-1978 while the author was a member of
the Com bined Prehistoric Expedition sponsored by Southern
Methodist University, the Polish Academy of Science, and the
Geological Survey of Egypt. Grateful acknowledgment is made to
Professor Fred Wendorf, leader of the Expedition, and to several
members for their fruitful discussions. Notable among these arepr.
Claude Albritton, Southern Methodist University, and Dr. J. De
Heinze lin, University of Ghent, Belgium. The field work was aided
by geologists M. S. Abdel Ghany and A. Zaghloul of the Geological
Survey of Egypt. The drafting was by Reed Ellis and Hoda S. Ar

Hypothermia was first applied to the human in 1940 by Smith and Fay
in an attempt to affect the growth of malignant tumours, and found
its most important application firstly in open cardiac surgery and
latterly in neurosurgery. The first results regarding the use of
hypothermia in neurosurgery were reported at the First Inter
national Congress of Neurological Sciences held in Brussels in
1957. The same subject was again considered at the annual meeting
of the Societe de Neurochirurgie de Langue Franl}aise held in
Montpellier in'1962. When I was charged with the task of organizing
the Symposium at the Second European Congress of Neurosurgery, I
thought it ad visable to put forward again the problem of the use
of hypothermia in neurosurgery. Though this procedure had rapidly
become popular and a mass of publications from the most important
neurosurgical centres of the world had appeared, many problems
remained un solved, and in particular those related to the choice
of cases to be treated, the usefulness of the procedure and its
possible dangers."
A critical challenge for urban charter/autonomous/independent
schools is finding educational leaders with the courage to lead
with authenticity; integrity and ingenuity using standards based
practices to effect transformational change within schools. Two
decades after the first charter school opened, leaders still
continue to face a range of challenges that traditional public
school leaders do not face. Without the type of district support
that traditional public school leaders benefit from,
charter/autonomous leaders must be able to prepare themselves by
tapping into alternative resources quickly and efficiently. This
book begins by cultivating the balance of self, both personal and
professional, that will guide leaders to manage the operational and
educational demands of leading a charter/autonomous school. With a
didactic approach identifying skills and capacities needed above
and beyond the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium
Standards (ISLLC), this book will give administrators the requisite
skills and necessary tools to effectively manage the complexities
of leadership in urban charter/autonomous schools.
'Puts Chandler to shame ... Hughes is the master we keep turning
to' Sara Paretsky After the war, cynical veteran Dix Steele has
moved to L.A., a city terrified by a strangler preying on young
women. Bumping into an old friend, now a detective working on the
case, Dix is thrilled by closely following the progress of the
police. And meeting his new neighbour, sultry and beautiful actress
Laurel Gray, brings even more excitement into his life. But the
strangler is still prowling the streets - and Laurel may be in more
danger than she realises... In a Lonely Place was adapted for film
in 1950, with Humphrey Bogart as Dix Steele.
