Accountancy provides a significant role and impact on the public and private sectors through its various disciplines and specialties. Trust in human and technological interactions is a primary objective of public accounting. Accountancy provides the strategic capability to access and interpret organizational performance. Therefore, because of its impactful role, it is important to understand and project how accountancy will change as a profession. As accountancy continuously evolves, it mandates agility among stakeholders, particularly those in education and the professions. The Past, Present, and Future of Accountancy Education and Professions broadly covers the ways accountancy will require new roles and knowledge for its constituents in the emerging future. The book explores how technological, educational, professional, and societal changes will transform accountancy. Covering topics such as business demands, professional competencies, and student success, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for financial reporters, financial advisors, auditors, accountants, administrators and educators of both K-12 and higher education, students of higher education, pre-service teachers, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

All school districts have written statements of the educational values and goals that members of the school community believe are important and worth pursuing. They display these on the front page of all school district public relations packets and on the walls of school and district offices. While all segments of the school community enthusiastically embrace the values and goals stated in the documents, rarely, if ever, do they practice these goals and values in classrooms or administrative offices. The gap between the educational ideals spoken from auditorium stages and the instructional regimes students experience in classrooms is the result of schools designed to achieve institutional goals-accountability, standardization, and efficiency-rather than educational goals-thoughtfulness, deep knowledge, and critically-informed citizens. This book is aimed at school administrators whose goal is restoring the why of schooling to the organizational structures and instructional routines that currently govern public schooling in this nation.

The contributors in this study examine the historical Harlem community during its renaissance period as well as its present-day community. A cursory investigation of the existent that focus on the Harlem community during its renaissance of the early twentieth century reveals that the compilations are primarily ones that present the subjects' life stories through the lens of praise songs. This book, however, presents the Harlem community through a lens that reveals more grounded and researched analyses that bring the influences and contributions of the Harlem Renaissance to a level of relevance in the twenty-first century from one or more critical vantage points. This study aims to move beyond the more obvious and foregrounded artistic contributions towards analyses of the Harlem Renaissance alongside analyses of a twenty-first century Harlem community and its present day contributions.

This publication is a personal account of experiences in the world of science, medicine, public health, drug development, and international health care, obtained from many different areas of the world during the rewarding and diverse fifty-year career of Thomas Jones, MD. That career has included major activities in the United States, Switzerland, the Philippines, Thailand, and Brazil, as well as smaller experiences in virtually every corner of the globe. It has included work in universities, the corporate world of drug research, and work with government organizations.

There have been misdirections in health care that have been partially overlooked, perhaps because of attention given to the numerous--primarily technical--advances that have been made. The essays, in spite of their rather negative message, are intended to be a pleasure to read--coherent, logical, tasteful, and accurate, with humor where appropriate but severity where needed.

The essays have been divided into three types: first, those that are relevant to social, governmental, and drug policy issues in our society; second, those relevant to special approaches to health care from the viewpoint of a specialist in infectious diseases; and third, those regarding specific infectious diseases. These three areas overlap at numerous points, but they allow the reader to direct his or her attention to policy issues, health care approaches, or the specific disease.

Three hundred and fifty years ago, Roger Williams launched one of the world's first great experiments in religious toleration. Insisting that religion be separated from civil power, he founded Rhode Island, a colony that welcomed people of many faiths. Though stark forms of intolerance persisted, Williams' commitments to faith and liberty of conscience came to define the nation and its conception of itself. Through crisp essays that show how Americans demolished old prejudices while inventing new ones, The Lively Experiment offers a comprehensive account of America's boisterous history of interreligious relations.
