Marketing text: This book combines theory and research from
educational and organizational psychology to provide guidance on
improving the teacher selection process and, subsequently,
educational outcomes for all students. The book identifies the
characteristics of effective teachers, analyzes research on
selection practices, and examines new approaches to teacher
selection, recruitment, and development. The central premise of the
book is that improving the effectiveness of teachers - and, thus,
students' educational outcomes - can be achieved by making the
recruitment and selection process more effective and more
efficient. Accordingly, the book describes how to identify and
select individuals for the teaching profession who display both
strong cognitive attributes (e.g., subject knowledge) and essential
non-cognitive attributes such as resilience, commitment to the
profession, and motivation for teaching. Key topics Teacher
selection practices from the viewpoint of organizational and
educational psychology Teacher effectiveness and the role of
individual attributes Situational judgment tests (SJTs) and
multiple mini-interviews (MMIs) for teacher selection
Implementation of teacher selection programs Teacher recruitment
and development Given its scope, the book represents an essential
reference guide for scholars, educational leaders and policymakers,
and graduate students in educational leadership programs, as well
as professionals in child and school psychology, educational
psychology, teaching and teacher education.

This book offers a detailed guide on the journey towards the
minimal supersymmetric standard model down the orbifold road. It
takes the viewpoint that the chirality of matter fermions is an
essential aspect that orbifold compactification allows to derive
from higher-dimensional string theories in a straightforward
manner. Halfway between textbook and tutorial review, the book is
intended for the graduate student and particle phenomenologist
wishing to get acquainted with this field.

This volume explores South Korea's successful transition from an
underdeveloped, authoritarian country to a modern industrialized
democracy. South Korea's experience of foreign aid gives a unique
perspective on how to use foreign aid for economic development as
well as how to build a strong partnership between developed and
developing countries.
Hong Kong has been a unique society from its establishment as a
political region separate from mainland China in the nineteenth
century under British colonial rule until the present day as a
special administrative region of the People’s Republic of China.
A hub of interregional and international migration, it has been the
temporary and long-term home of people belonging to many racial,
ethnic, and cultural groups. This book examines the evolution of
the community established by clergy and congregants of the Russian
Orthodox Church. This community was first developed in the 1930s
and then revived after a hiatus of over two decades from the 1970s
to the 1990s with the founding of the Orthodox Parish of Apostles
Saints Peter and Paul (OPASPP) at the turn of the twenty-first
century. This study demonstrates how the OPASPP has become a vital
provider of knowledge about Russian language and culture as well as
a religious institution serving both heritage and convert
believers. The community formed by and around the OPASPP is
important to foster Sino-Russian relations based on
individual-to-individual contact and mutual exposure to Chinese and
Russian cultures in a region of China which allows spiritual and
social diversity with minimal political constraints.

Leading experts in the fields of gastroenterology, surgery, and
radiology comprehensively review the pathophysiology, diagnosis,
management, and treatment of acute bleeding disorders of the GI
tract. The authors break down acute bleeding into upper and lower
GI tract sources and provide a differential diagnosis for each
disease, evidence-based algorithms for clinical practice, treatment
modalities for its management, and standards of care. The authors
outline the many dilemmas faced by physicians in their approach to
their patients, such as localization of the bleeding source (upper
vs lower), the need and timing for emergency endoscopy, and the
timing for radiologic intervention and/or surgery.
History of Particle Theory fills an important gap existing in the
literature by discussing the impressive progress in understanding
the elementary particles out of which all everyday objects are
made. Most of this progress has happened in the last seventy years
after the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED) was perfected as
an extremely accurate description of electromagnetic interactions.
This astonishing sequence of discoveries was made hand in hand
between theory and experiment. This book concentrates only on
theory where giant steps were made by a series of exceptionally
creative physicists, and this is portrayed as an essential part of
the broader spectrum of human knowledge and culture, which is
constantly being similarly extended by the creative individuals
such as the two mentioned in the subtitle, Between Darwin and
Shakespeare, who both significantly changed Western Civilization by
ideas in Biology and in English Literature respectively.In the last
forty years, the standard model has been confirmed again and again
as the correct description of elementary particles up to energies
of a thousand times the proton mass. In the discussion of particle
theory and theoretical physics in general, the book starts from
well over two thousand years ago, going back to the ancient Greeks
such as Democritus and Archimedes, until the 17th century, when the
extraordinary intellect of Newton changed everything by
demonstrating that not only objects in the laboratory but also
heavenly bodies are governed by mathematical equations. There
followed what can be called Darwinian evolution in theoretical
physics, survival of the fittest theories, by loose analogy with
the origin of biological species.The present standard model of
particle theory surely cannot be the final word because it contains
far too many free parameters. The book contains a penultimate
chapter discussing a number of such open problems which exist in
particle theory. There is then a closing chapter, not related to
the rest of the book, providing a series of quotations written in
the 16th and 17th centuries by Shakespeare and here applied to
particle theory. The inclusion of this is based on our premise that
particle theory is just one out of several opportunities for
exceptional human creativity.

International institutions are prevalent in world politics. More
than a thousand multilateral treaties are in place just to protect
the environment alone, and there are many more. And yet, it is also
clear that these institutions do not operate in a void but are
enmeshed in larger, highly complex webs of governance arrangements.
This compelling book conceptualises these broader structures as the
'architectures' of global governance. Here, over 40 international
relations scholars offer an authoritative synthesis of a decade of
research on global governance architectures with an empirical focus
on protecting the environment and vital earth systems. They
investigate the structural intricacies of earth system governance
and explain how global architectures enable or hinder individual
institutions and their overall effectiveness. The book offers
much-needed conceptual clarity about key building blocks and
structures of complex governance architectures, charts detailed
directions for new research, and provides analytical groundwork for
policy reform. This is one of a series of publications associated
with the Earth System Governance Project. For more publications,

Ethnic Chrysalis is the first book in English to cover the early
modern history of the Orochen, an ethnic group that has for
centuries inhabited areas now belonging to the Russian Federation
and the People's Republic of China. The Qing dynasty (1644-1911)
was a formative period for Orochen identity, and its actions
preserved the Orochen as a separate ethnic group. While
incorporating the Orochen into the imperial political domain
through military conscription and compulsory resource extraction,
the Qing government created two Orochen subgroups that experienced
disparate levels of social and economic autonomy. The use of
"Orochen" as an official modifier by Qing officials forms an early
layer of the chrysalis that embodies various senses of ethnic
identity for people who have been identified, or self-identified,
as Orochen. Since the Qing, the Orochen have continued to cherish
the perception that their Qing-period ancestors were key players in
the defense and economy of northeast China. Tracing the evolution
of Qing policies toward the Orochen along the Chinese-Russian
borderland, Loretta Kim examines how the impact of political
organization in one era can endure in a group's social and cultural
values.

In this classic tale, Richard E. Kim paints seven vivid scenes from
a boyhood and early adolescence in Korea at the height of the
Japanese occupation, 1932 to 1945. Taking its title from the grim
fact that the occupiers forced the Koreans to renounce their own
names and adopt Japanese names instead, the book follows one Korean
family through the Japanese occupation to the surrender of the
Japanese empire. "Lost Names" is at once a loving memory of family
and a vivid portrayal of life in a time of anguish.

"Written in a mood of total austerity; and yet the passion of the
book is perpetually beating up against its seemingly barren
surface...I am deeply moved." -Philip Roth
During the early weeks of the Korean War, Captain Lee, a young
South Korean officer, is ordered to investigate the kidnapping and
mass murder of North Korean ministers by Communist forces. For
propaganda purposes, the priests are declared martyrs, but as he
delves into the crime, Lee finds himself asking: What if they were
not martyrs? What if they renounced their faith in the face of
death, failing both God and country? Should the people be fed this
lie? Part thriller, part mystery, part existential treatise, "The
Martyred" is a stunning meditation on truth, religion, and faith in
times of crisis.
What is the most important nugget of wisdom that would benefit most
parents? This book is the result of lessons learned and wisdom
imparted by Certified Family Life Educators. Their stories,
personal experiences, and poems emphasize character building,
parent-child relationships, guidance and discipline. In the
pinnacle chapter, "Wisdom of the Ages," the authors trace wisdom
from the past, handed down to us from early pioneers and writers
from various disciplines-family science, sociology, psychology,
psychiatry, biology, and the medical field. The authors unmask
developments over time and reveal why there are so many theories
and programs on parenting. The journey they share helps us to
navigate through tough parenting situations. For students,
instructors and counselors, this book can be applied to parent
education and marriage and family studies.

Colorectal cancer is the third most common malignancy in the United
States and the third leading cause of cancer mortality in both men
and women. As gastroenterologists and primary care physicians are
faced with patients with colorectal cancer, the future road to
decreasing these numbers begins with increased knowledge and
awareness of the effects that biology, genetics, environment, and
lifestyle have on the disease. In "Early Detection and Prevention
in Colorectal Cancer", Dr. Karen Kim and her esteemed contributors
take a comprehensive look into the world of colorectal cancer and
the ways that today's physician can positively impact the patient's
outcome. Unique features include: novel screening modalities;
disparities in colorectal cancer; latest information on genetic
testing for colorectal cancer; screening algorithms for average and
high risk patients; and economics of screening and prevention. Some
chapter topics include: Colonic carcinogenesis; Environmental
factors and colorectal cancer; Chemoprevention of colorectal
cancer; Biomarkers and colorectal cancer; and Health policy and
colorectal cancer prevention. With cutting-edge technology and
information, "Early Detection and Prevention in Colorectal Cancer"
should be in the hands of all gastroenterologists, primary care
physicians, and those in training. Only by understanding the
biology and genetics of this disease, and the effects that
environment and lifestyle have on it, can gastroenterologists truly
make a difference with the treatment of their patients.
