The contributors place the development of Asian studies programs in
small colleges in historical context, make a compelling case for
the inclusion of Asian studies in the liberal arts curriculum, and
consider the challenges faced in developing and sustaining Asian
studies programs and ways of meeting such challenges now and in the
future.

The convergence of online book selling, digital printing, digital
document workflow management and the computerization of small
parcel logistics created a unique opportunity to create a viable
commercial model for printing and supplying books on demand. This
innovation was swiftly embraced by the academic publishing
community heralding the rescue of the languishing academic
monograph. The possibilities captured the imagination of creative
academic and niche publishers enabling custom publishing, student
editions of monographs, self-compiled wiki books and even the
establishment of new university presses and open access publishers.
The Impact of Print on-Demand on Academic Books takes an in-depth
look at this phenomenon by looking back on two decades of
innovation, reviewing the present state of academic publishing with
respect to works being printed on demand and compiling the current
forecasts and speculation about the future of academic and niche
publishing given the impact of print on-demand.

Currently, many states are adopting the Next Generation Science
Standards (NGSS) or are revising their own state standards in ways
that reflect the NGSS. For students and schools, the implementation
of any science standards rests with teachers. For those teachers,
an evolving understanding about how best to teach science
represents a significant transition in the way science is currently
taught in most classrooms and it will require most science teachers
to change how they teach. That change will require learning
opportunities for teachers that reinforce and expand their
knowledge of the major ideas and concepts in science, their
familiarity with a range of instructional strategies, and the
skills to implement those strategies in the classroom. Providing
these kinds of learning opportunities in turn will require profound
changes to current approaches to supporting teachers' learning
across their careers, from their initial training to continuing
professional development. A teacher's capability to improve
students' scientific understanding is heavily influenced by the
school and district in which they work, the community in which the
school is located, and the larger professional communities to which
they belong. Science Teachers' Learning provides guidance for
schools and districts on how best to support teachers' learning and
how to implement successful programs for professional development.
This report makes actionable recommendations for science teachers'
learning that take a broad view of what is known about science
education, how and when teachers learn, and education policies that
directly and indirectly shape what teachers are able to learn and
teach. The challenge of developing the expertise teachers need to
implement the NGSS presents an opportunity to rethink professional
learning for science teachers. Science Teachers' Learning will be a
valuable resource for classrooms, departments, schools, districts,
and professional organizations as they move to new ways to teach
science. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1 Introduction 2 A
