What does the Rosetta Stone tell us about the past? What treasures
of Egyptian literature can now be read, thanks to its decipherment?
What does it tell us about the history of writing and the story of
our own alphabets? How do decipherments work and how can we know if
they are right? Who owns the Rosetta Stone and what happens if we
start to return pieces of the past to countries who claim them?
These are some of the fascinating questions which are explored in
this introduction to one of the true Wonders of the World.
This book contains John Ray's personal life account as Principal of
the Biscoe School in the heart of Srinagar between 1962 and 1986.
Intended as 'something to give leaving students', it touches on
people and events in a very different age. Hippies, chief
ministers, bishops and Kashmiri people of every background crowd
the stage, set against the background of a school extraordinary in
its range of adventurous activities. Jyoti Sahi's drawings picture
the now vanished Kashmiri scene and Wajahat Habibullah's sobering
foreword recalls the narrative from stories of a time gone by to
consideration of the harsh realities of the present. Anyone
concerned for Kashmir, or indeed for the pressures of living across
cultures in today's identity-seeking landscape, will find much
interest here.

"Teaching from a Multicultural Perspective, one of the volumes in Sage's Survival Skills for Scholars series, is a commonsense primer for developing multicultural pedagogies, courses, curricula, and most important, institutions. Helen Roberts and her associates set out practical strategies and principles for teaching, mentoring, and fostering the academic (and personal) success of minority and nontraditional students. Although this book covers issues relating to multiculturalism on campus that may already be familiar to many of us, it nonetheless should be of interest to advisors who also teach, who are involved in teacher training, or who are involved in resource networking, and who would like to share a basic introduction to the issues with new instructors or other advisors. . . . They valuably stress the role academic advisors can play in the success of minority students." --Brady Harrison in The Journal of the National Academic Advising Association How do you welcome the growing number of culturally diverse students in your classroom without alienating, condescending, or offending them? The authors of this collaborative volume, all experienced teachers and administrators in the ethnically heterogeneous California State University system, outline how to teach "multiculturally." They suggest a set of classroom strategies, curriculum reforms, assessment tools, and mentoring relationships that work for all students, regardless of their cultural background--or yours. The authors contend that cultural diversity is an issue for all faculty members to address regardless of your discipline or the ethnic composition of your campus. With the material in this volume, you can begin to meet the challenge of the truly multicultural university.
