This volume of the "International Perspectives on Education and
Society" series comparatively examines various two-year and
community college institutions worldwide. While these institutions
are called by different names and may not all be structured the
same around the world, their core mission remains consistently: to
respond to the needs of their local community. Inspired by the
German Volkshochschule, founded in 1844, this model is now
throughout the U.S., Canada, Australia, India, South Africa,
Thailand and other nations. While the community college "label" is
debatable and possibly controversial in and of itself, these
institutions all serve the needs of their local communities by
bridging the gap between academic and technical training with open
and accessible learning. Students served by these institutions come
from various socioeconomic backgrounds including age, race,
culture, gender, and income levels. Two-year and community colleges
adapt and institutionalize differently to meet various community
needs, whether they provide students with technical training, the
ability to transfer to four-year higher education institutions,
remedial education or lifelong learning opportunities. This volume
analyzes the ways this model has served and continues to serve
communities in different international contexts for similar
purposes.
In film and television, thousands of fine scripts by established
writers are never produced. The Black Coat Script Library is
dedicated to presenting some of those scripts. Reginald Rivers --
RIVERS OF TIME -- take those who can afford it back to the
Cretaceous to hunt the biggest game that ever roamed the Earth: the
flesh-eating Giganotosaurus. But even there, the deadliest predator
of all remains Man! Roy THOMAS was editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics
from 1972 to 1974, and is noted for his scripting of Conan the
Barbarian, The Avengers, X-Men and The Incredible Hulk. Between
1980-2000, Roy co-wrote and sold nine screenplays, of which two
(Conan the Destroyer and Fire and Ice, co-written with Gerry
Conway) were made into films.
