Initial Training for History Teachers
The Council of Europe's work on history teaching in secondary schools has three main thrusts: curriculum development, textbooks and teaching materials, and teacher training, which should take into account societal developments and the cultural needs of coming generations. This pilot study is the first comparative study on the structures of initial training for history teachers to be carried out in several European countries. Its aim is to provide information that will raise the level of professionalism not only of history teaching, but also of teacher training.--Publisher's description.
Demented Choirs
It's the beginning of the 20th century and Jack Bevins, a muckracking American reporter, is prying into Britain's official secrets for newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst. Signaling the onset of the great 20th century arms race, the new British battleship Dreadnought will be the most powerful weapon ever created. Hearst will use Dreadnought's awesome design to goad President Teddy Roosevelt toward modernizing America's navy, but first Jack has to beat Britain's imperial rivals, especially Germany, to the plans. Aided by a dubious street urchin, Jack sets out to breach the security of the Porstmouth, England, shipyard where Dreadnought is being built, but his path to the prize is anything but straight. A junior member of the British parliament, Winston Churchill, keeps cropping up, while a woman with a shadowy past becomes the focus of disturbing events that reach high into the government. When the British discover Dreadnought's security has been compromised, they react with a vengeance that puts more than Jack's visitor status in jeopardy. He races desperately to discover the truth, with more at stake than he had ever imagined.
The Love Genes
The DNA didn’t lie. Somebody did. I always knew where I came from. The Schulz family tree was populated with conscientious, hard-working moral citizens. So why were these so-called cousins claiming my ancestors had secret babies one hundred years ago? I had to prove these allegations were false to protect my family’s name. Even if it meant traveling hundreds of miles to interrogate unknown relatives. Even if it meant finding a heart-stopping man who might be the perfect combination of genetic material from all our common pedigrees. His DNA would solve the mystery. His love would steal my heart. Part Historical and part Contemporary Romance, the Love Genes bridges the gap between generations born in two centuries using the science of DNA testing to reveal past assignations.

Becoming a (Better) Language Teacher
This qualitative-interpretative study investigates a cohort of twelve English teachers enrolled in the M.A. programme ,E-LINGO – Teaching English to Young Learners'. The aim is to explore if, how and under what circumstances classroom action research, a core component of the pro gramme, can foster teacher learning. Since the participants have different educational and cultu ral back-grounds and various levels of professional experience in the ?eld of language teaching, they offer different perspectives on the object of research. Data from multiple sources are triangulated and interpreted to elicit indicators for learning and development in the form of critical learning incidents. The results suggest that not only cogni tive, but also social and affective factors constitute the complex process of teacher learning.

Elevate
According to a study published in Chief Executive Magazine, the most valued skill in leaders today is strategic thinking. However, more than half of all companies say that strategic thinking is the skill their senior leaders most need to improve. Elevate provides leaders with a framework and toolkit for developing advanced strategic thinking capabilities. Unlike the majority of books that focus on strategy from a corporate perspective, Elevate gives the individual executive practical tools and techniques to help them become a truly strategic leader. The new framework that will enable leaders to finally integrate both strategy and innovation into a strategic approach that drives their profitable growth is the Three Disciplines of Advanced Strategic Thinking: 1. Coalesce: Fusing together insights to create an innovative business model. 2. Compete: Creating a system of strategy to achieve competitive advantage. 3. Champion: Leading others to think and act strategically to execute strategy. Every leader desperately wants to be strategic--their career depends on it.
