This book argues that Romantic-era writers used the figure of
the minstrel to imagine authorship as a social, responsive
enterprise unlike the solitary process portrayed by Romantic myths
of the lone genius. Simpson highlights the centrality of the
minstrel to many important literary developments from the Romantic
era through to the 1840s.
This guide to information-finding sources and techniques is
attuned to the needs of researchers in all the social and
behavioral sciences with a particular focus on public
administration and related fields. This guide is unique in its
analyses of how to design the research process in an evolving
manner using approaches that reflect combinations of models,
methods, and data sources. This guide is also comprehensive in its
coverage of a broad spectrum of the important primary and secondary
source materials in all their current forms. Students and
researchers in the policy sciences, especially at the graduate
level, will find this research and reference guide an essential
one.
Simpson's broadly conceived guide covers sources and methods of
approach to doing social science research. The book opens with an
analysis of information-finding and public administration as a
special and disparate series of fields for study. Subsequent
chapters discuss research strategies and designs and offer
annotative bibliographies evaluating the usefulness of primary and
secondary sources, examining guides to the literature, the
conventional library catalog, journal literature, indexing and
abstracting services, computer searches, separately published
bibliographies, public statistics, machine-readable data files,
government documents, sources of methodology and research
instruments, other sources of information, archives and other
primary sources, and annual reviews. This topical and logically
developed set of chapters makes the guide easy to use, and a
general subject index makes this reference most accessible.
This book introduces the fundamental issues of development in the
Third World, and addresses the issues faced by these nations in
attempting to secure sustainable economic development. Divided into
two sections, part one systematically examines the major components
of development such as population dynamics, agriculture and the
environment and industrialization. Part two examines the
translation of ideas into practice via a series of case studies,
illustrating particular problems.
In the heart of the twentieth century, the game of soccer was
becoming firmly established as the sport of the masses across
Europe, even as war was engulfing the continent. Intimately woven
into the war was the genocide perpetrated by Nazi Germany and its
collaborators, genocide on a scale never seen before. For those
victims ensnared by the Nazi regime, soccer became a means of
survival and a source of inspiration even when surrounded by
profound suffering and death. In Soccer under the Swastika: Stories
of Survival and Resistance during the Holocaust, Kevin E. Simpson
reveals the surprisingly powerful role soccer played during World
War II. From the earliest days of the Nazi dictatorship, as
concentration camps were built to hold so-called enemies, captives
competed behind the walls and fences of the Nazi terror state.
Simpson uncovers this little-known piece of history, rescuing from
obscurity many poignant survivor testimonies, old accounts of
wartime players, and the diaries of survivors and perpetrators. In
victim accounts and rare photographs-many published for the first
time in this book-hidden stories of soccer in almost every Nazi
concentration camp appear. To these prisoners, soccer was a glimmer
of joy amid unrelenting hunger and torture, a show of resistance
against the most heinous regime the world had ever seen. With the
increasing loss of firsthand memories of these events, Soccer under
the Swastika reminds us of the importance in telling these
compelling stories. And as modern day soccer struggles to combat
racism in the terraces around the world, the endurance of the human
spirit embodied through these personal accounts offers insight and
inspiration for those committed to breaking down prejudices in the
sport today. Thoughtfully written and meticulously researched, this
book will fascinate and enlighten readers of all generations.
75 years after the end of the Holocaust, this book commemorates the
millions of victims by sharing the stories of wartime soccer
players, those prisoners of the Nazi regime who found soccer to be
a means of survival and inspiration even when surrounded by
profound suffering and death. The Holocaust was genocide on a scale
never seen before. It is the greatest of human tragedies and a
defining event in history which continues to challenge and confound
human understanding. For many victims ensnared by Nazi Germany,
soccer became both a show of resistance and a matter of life and
death. In Soccer under the Swastika: Defiance and Survival in the
Nazi Camps and Ghettos, revised edition, Kevin E. Simpson takes the
reader on a fascinating journey through this little-known chapter
in history, revealing the surprisingly powerful role soccer played
during World War II. Relying on a trove of recently-translated
testimonies and scores of interviews with survivors and
eyewitnesses, Simpson casts a penetrating light on the darkness of
the Holocaust by celebrating the courage of those who found the
strength to play the beautiful game under horrific circumstances.
With the increasing loss of firsthand memories of these events,
Soccer under the Swastika reminds us of the importance in telling
these compelling stories. Thoughtfully written and meticulously
researched, this revised edition is emboldened by new research,
recently translated survivor testimonies, new photos from the era,
and a deepened focus on soccer in the Nazi camps and ghettos,
providing a more powerful narrative of soccer's ability to provide
inspiration and, at times, sustain life.

Referring to specific information inside an XML document is a little like finding a needle in a haystack. XPath and XPointer are two closely related languages that play a key role in XML processing by allowing developers to find these needles and manipulate embedded information. By the time you've finished XPath and XPointer, you'll know how to construct a full XPointer (one that uses an XPath location path to address document content) and completely understand both the XPath and XPointer features it uses.

College student populations are becoming increasingly more diverse
as students from diverse backgrounds have greater access to higher
education. Additionally, governing bodies have heightened
expectations related to student success, retention, and time to
degree, thus holding institutions of higher education more
accountable. With a changing student demographic and increased
accountability measures, faculty and administrators are seeking
effective strategies to enhance intercultural responsiveness among
underrepresented populations to support their success. Developing
an Intercultural Responsive Leadership Style for Faculty and
Administrators is a critical research publication that examines
student retention and success among underrepresented college
student populations by analyzing factors impacting their
persistence towards graduation as well as exploring strategies to
enhance intercultural responsiveness among these populations.
Featuring a wide range of topics such as diversity, intercultural
fluency, STEM education, and lifelong learning, this book is ideal
for administrators, faculty, academicians, policymakers,
researchers, and students.
