This book explores new models and future possibilities of
university governance in a Latin American context using management
and leadership theories. The dramatic changes and uncertainty
facing the world recently have forced us to reimagine the future of
education. Changes such as digitalization, the increasing number of
corporate universities, and the need for cost-effective educational
programs and services require universities to keep evolving while
ensuring that they maintain their essence as a critical social
asset. This book offers a new approach to managing and leading the
university, particularly by embracing the role and responsibility
of delivering quality educational programs and services, by being
innovative and flexible enough to make urgent decisions and act
upon them in a timely and appropriate manner. With its
contributions to management and the social sciences, this
interdisciplinary book will serve as a valuable resource to
researchers, administrators, and students alike.

JACK BEAN was an adventurous kid with quick wit and a seemingly
fearless attitude. Things take a turn for the worst when this
sometimes bossy yet mischievous kid and his friends Jamie and Matt
make a dangerous decision at the infamous Great Museum. In the
small town of Ellerehc, the Great Museum is all the rave, but what
happens on that fateful night inevitably changes the course of
Jack's life forever. Years later, the choices he and his wife Mercy
made while attending The University of Doomsburg, end up having an
adverse effect on their future, and the future of their seven
children: thirteen-year-old Mia, eleven-year-old Mitchell,
eight-and-a-half-year-old Matthew, seven-year-old Halley,
six-year-old identical twins David and Andrew, and four-year-old
little Mary. The Beans weren't very wealthy but found richness in
having a loving family. When Mercy's wicked sister Pigadamus and
her family come to stay with the Beans, the esteem of the entire
family is hit hard. With the Beans eldest daughter being much like
her soft-hearted mother, the kids finally reached their breaking
point. While being equipped with special and amazing powers, Mia
and the rest of the Bean clan feel the need to turn away from their
parents teachings to be passive citizens in the town where Betty
Evilly and her family rule. When Mia's arch-nemesis Betty discovers
a secret buried deep within the Nimba Mountains of Liberia, more
havoc and adventure quickly ensues. The kids overwhelming desire to
use their extraordinary powers against their enemies lead them into
a world of fantasy, intrigue, and danger; a world known as
Dreamecca where the impossible becomes possible. With the evil King
Logicome in their way, the kids only hope of survival is to combine
their strengths and get a little help from their newfound friends
in this magical land.
This book is the third volume in the series on Research in
Educational Diversity and Excellence. The goal of this series is to
bring issues of diversity and educational risk to the forefront of
national attention in order to assist the nation's diverse students
at risk of failure to achieve academic excellence. This series
focuses on critical issues in the education of linguistic and
cultural minority students and those placed at risk by factors of
race, poverty, and geographic location. The purpose of the present
book is to summarize and discuss recent perspectives, research, and
practices related to the use of educational technology in
multicultural settings. Technology that is already ubiquitous in
our daily lives brings a myriad of issues to the area of education.
Although educational systems should be geared to address challenges
appropriately, the systems should be designed and developed to
provide opportunities to take advantage of technology use. This
book is noteworthy in that it presents avariety of theoretical and
practical considerations for technology use in diverse
multicultural contexts. Consisting of 12 chapters, the book (a)
proposes theoretical concerns for understanding technological
learning environments today and envisions the potential impact of
future technology use and (b) examines technology tools and models
that have been used for interventions, programs, and projects and
measures and documents specific outcomes and challenges involving
complex interactions within low-income and languageminority
families and students.

implementing corporate governance, and encompasses the most
up-to-date changes in legislation, regulation and guidance,

Code. The text provides an excellent guide for students, but is
also a handy reference for anyone who works in a governance role,
or who wants to learn more about the field of corporate governance.
In the small town of Dresden, Georgia, two people were found
murdered along Interstate 20. One was a well-known and respected
psychiatrist, Dr. Patricia Dean. The other was her husband, Dr.
Robert Dean, a prominent cardiologist. What made this murder so
sinister was only parts of Robert Dean were found at the crime
scene. The police have no fingerprints and no leads.
With the help of Patricia's sister, Crystal, and college friend
Karen Andrews, a lead emerges that even state officials can't
believe, which leaves the one question that everybody has been
asking:
Where's the rest of Robert Dean's body?
Bringing together international authors to examine how diversity
and inclusion impact assessment in higher education, this book
provides educators with the knowledge and understanding required to
transform practices so that they are more equitable and inclusive
of diverse learners. Assessment drives learning and determines who
succeeds. Assessment for Inclusion in Higher Education is written
to ensure that no student is unfairly or unnecessarily
disadvantaged by the design or delivery of assessment. The chapters
are structured according to three themes: 1) macro contexts of
assessment for inclusion: societal and cultural perspectives; 2)
meso contexts of assessment for inclusion: institutional and
community perspectives; and 3) micro contexts of assessment for
inclusion: educators, students and interpersonal perspectives.
These three levels are used to identify new ways of mobilising the
sector towards assessment for inclusion in a systematic and
scholarly way. This book is essential reading for those in higher
education who design and deliver assessment, as well as researchers
and postgraduate students exploring assessment, equity and
inclusive pedagogy. Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No

2023 Peter C. Rollins Book Award, Southwest Texas Popular Culture
and American Culture Associations (SWPACA) A revisionist history of
women's pivotal roles as creators of and characters in comic books.
The history of comics has centered almost exclusively on men.
Comics historians largely describe the medium as one built by men
telling tales about male protagonists, neglecting the many ways in
which women fought for legitimacy on the page and in publishersâ
studios. Despite this male-dominated focus, women played vital
roles in the early history of comics. The story of how comic books
were born and how they evolved changes dramatically when women like
June TarpĂŠ Mills and Lily RenĂŠe are placed at the center rather
than at the margins of this history, and when characters such as
the Black Cat, Patsy Walker, and SeĂąorita Rio are analyzed. Comic
Book Women offers a feminist history of the golden age of comics,
revising our understanding of how numerous genres emerged and
upending narratives of how male auteurs built their careers.
Considering issues of race, gender, and sexuality, the authors
examine crime, horror, jungle, romance, science fiction, superhero,
and Western comics to unpack the cultural and industrial
consequences of how women were represented across a wide range of
titles by publishers like DC, Timely, Fiction House, and others.
This revisionist history reclaims the forgotten work done by women
in the comics industry and reinserts female creators and characters
into the canon of comics history.
In 2012, over four billion people tuned in to watch the London
Summer Olympics. As the single largest mega-event in the world, the
Olympics has the power to captivate the global imagination. Long
before athletes vie for a gold medal, however, competition between
cities eager to host the Games kicks off with a rigorous bid
process. The lengthy and expensive endeavor to host the Olympics is
as high-stakes as any sporting event. Rather than encouraging
cities to refrain from bidding, Bidding for Development takes a
policy approach that challenges stakeholders to bid responsibly and
strategically in pursuit of concrete outcomes. Every bid city has
the potential to accelerate long-term transportation development
through a strategic and robust planning process. This book
concentrates on the phenomenon of repeat Olympic bids and the
opportunities that may come from bidding, particularly for those
cities that never win the Games. In this context, Bidding for
Development explores the intersection between transportation
infrastructure development, the Olympic bid process, and the
resulting legacies experienced by bid losers. The findings address
the central question: how can participating in the Olympic bid
process accelerate transportation development regardless of the bid
result? In response, this book presents a Bid Framework outlining
how and when cities may use the bid to unite resources, align
transportation priorities, and empower leaders to achieve urban
development objectives in preparation for the Olympic bid. The Bid
Framework is then applied to two case studies, Manchester and
Istanbul, to examine each bid loser's effectiveness in using the
bid process to catalyze transportation development. Concurrently,
the book takes into consideration how the International Olympic
Committee's evolving bid regulations and requirements relate to
urban development and positive social legacy. Bidding for
Development delivers actionable recommendations for all Olympic
stakeholders to improve the value of the bid process and
transportation benefits beyond the Games.

This original volume examines the collaboration between East
Timorese and international staff in the rebuilding of the education
sector during the United Nations Transitional Administration in
East Timor (UNTAET) 1999-2002. Using interviews, contemporary
newspaper articles and reports from UN sources and the World Bank,
the book enables a comprehensive analysis of Timorese agency.
Examining choices made by the Timorese and drawing comparison with
other former Portuguese colonies, the text considers the power of
the Timorese elite, the role of nepotism and corruption, the
preservation of the Indonesian curriculum and the selection of
Portuguese as the medium of instruction and official language -
together with Tetum. Concluding with a contemporary discussion on
the educational achievements for East Timorese children during
UNTAET compared with those of today, Rebuilding the Education
Sector in East Timor during UNTAET will be of interest to
academics, researchers and post-graduate students in the fields of
post-conflict studies, post-colonial education and language policy
as well as East Timor more specifically. This book will also
benefit graduate students and scholars in teacher education. Trina
Supit completed her PhD at the University of Sydney, Australia. She
was a member of the UNTAET Division of Education.
A unique biblical and practical approach to uncluttering our
internal thoughts and feelings. We all want our lives to change for
the better-to become the healthiest versions of ourselves in
spirit, soul, and body. Yet we still struggle. Author Trina
McNeilly, looking for order in her own life, embarked on an inward
journey to the home of her heart and soul to find healing and
health from the inside out. Unclutter Your Soul is for all of us
who are cluttered and overwhelmed with loss, fear, chronic stress,
unhealthy coping mechanisms, crippling depression, or anxiety. With
the Holy Spirit as our guide, Trina says we can learn to observe:
acknowledge the clutter, own: make space for a healthy internal
environment, and overcome: take action with tools for living
clutter-free from the inside out. Each chapter in these three
sections is written as an essay and concludes with practical and
soulful tips as well as prompts to put them into action. With
discussion questions and a prayer guide, Unclutter Your Soul is the
ultimate resource for finding freedom in our everyday lives by
releasing limited mindsets and creating more space for peace and
joy.
