Political corruption has recently emerged as a key area in the study of advanced industrial nations. Not only has it become more visible than in the past, its sheer scale in some countries has had a significant impact on the functioning of their political institutions. Martin Bull and James Newell have assembled a group of experts to address the importance of this phenomenon for contemporary Western democracies—as well as for the new democracies of Eastern Europe, for the European Union, and at the international level.
A lively account of the general election of 2008 and of its
profound significance for Italy and beyond. It gets to grips with
the complexities of Italian politics in an exceptionally clear way.

Since the 1960s, efforts to reform education including various
curricular changes, reading approaches, teacher preparation, money
for the disadvantaged, and different instructional approaches have
failed to bring about true systemic change because the reforms fail
to deal with a different definition of learning. The Hope Study was
created to discover whether a radically different learning
environment would achieve different outcomes. In detailing the
outcome of the Hope Study, Assessing What Really Matters in Schools
gives hope to innovative and progressive schools, to new and
different accountability systems, while changing the conversation
from an achievement discourse to a human development discourse."

Here, authors Ronald Newell and Irving Buchen continue the dialogue
begun by Roland Barth, Linda Lambert, Carl Glickman and others
pertaining to democratic, teacher-led schools. Teachers are capable
of managing schools, without designated principals and/or
superintendents. A number of practitioners have taken up the
gauntlet and have created collaborative cultures in order to
fulfill the need for creating teacher-controlled environments.
These environments are necessary to carry out the as-of-yet
unfulfilled reform of practices that benefit students at the most
elemental level of education-the relationship of teacher and
learner. In teacher-managed schools, teachers have control of
budgets, management, personnel, and all other decision-making. It
is not enough for teachers to be willing to democratically control
schools. The culture of schooling is not inherently democratic, and
a collaborative culture must be cultivated by creating the
community, the collective, the consensual, the consultative, and
the coaching commitment. Newell and Buchen show how the experience
of a group of practitioners has lighted the way for continual
development of the elements of the collaborative culture by living
them. They also discuss the problems and promises of creating and
living this collaborative, democratic culture.

14th Annual Outreach Magazine Resource of the Year, Cross-Cultural
Category From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is a crosscultural
book. Scripture is full of narratives of God's people crossing
cultures in pursuit of God's mission. Biblical texts shed light on
mission dynamics: Sarah and Hagar functioning in an honor-shame
culture, Moses as a multicultural leader, Ruth as a crosscultural
conversion, David and Uriah illustrating power distance, the queen
of Sheba as an international truth-seeker, Daniel as a
transnational student, Paul in Athens as a model of
contextualization, and much more. Missionary and missions professor
Marvin Newell provides a biblical theology of culture and mission,
mining the depths of Scripture to tease out missiological insights
and crosscultural perspectives. Unlike other such books that are
organized topically, this text is organized canonically, revealing
how the whole of Scripture speaks to contemporary mission
realities. Comprehensive in scope, filled with biblical insight and
missional expertise, this book is an essential resource for
students and practitioners of crosscultural ministry and mission.

chapter features an introduction, featured readings, key terms,
study questions, and real-world examples of the topics and theories
discussed to help students better understand practical applications
of the material within their future careers. Specific topics
include the federal rules of evidence; the discovery, preservation,
collection, and transmission of evidence; interrogations and
confessions; the exclusionary rule; expert witnesses; hearsay; and
more. Featuring highly accessible and focused material, Criminal
Evidence is an ideal resource for undergraduate courses in criminal
evidence and criminal procedure.
What can be worse than finding out that your friends betrayed you?
You can lose them all...When Jack gets sucked into a different,
more innocent universe, the protagonists are thrown together to
save the world. But Jack did not come alone, a Dark Entity followed
him through and is using him as a foothold in the new universe,
poisoning the AOnne, the net connecting all life, in the process.
Seemingly insurmountable odds force the characters to confront the
traumas and conflicts of their lives, interrupted by frantic action
but also by tender moments of love. They are helped by an unlikely
combination of friends, which range from a flying dinosaur, to an
intelligent school of carp, a philosophizing but ever miserable
mushroom and its symbiont, the tree Deanna, with culture clashes
that produce hilarious results. But evil is strong and has long
roots, and then there is the soul of the universe itself, which has
a mind of its own...
