Schoolhouse Shams
Written by a parent and school board member, who first embraced many of the ideas of the modern school reform movement, Schoolhouse Shams lays bare much of the mythology and misinformation that underpin many of the failed school reform policies of the last decade.
Pediatric CNS Tumors in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Expanding our Understanding
Central nervous system (CNS) tumors represent about 20% of pediatric cancer cases worldwide and are the leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality. In low- and middle-income countries, limited data suggests significant disparities in outcomes when compared to high-income countries. Nonetheless, this field is understudied and significant work needs to be done to further elucidate the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of this vulnerable population. In this Research Topic, we aim to describe recent advances in the biology, clinical, molecular, and health system characteristics of children and adolescents with CNS tumors. We welcome submissions of Original Researc...

Asset Management and Investor Protection
Asset management is a major industry playing an increasingly important role in economic activity around the world. Asset managers provide services to individuals, governments, public agencies, banks, pension funds, insurance companies, and charities, to name a few. Traditionally, asset management has been primarily associated with the 'stock market' economies of the UK and the USA, but, as this book shows, some of the most spectacular growth in activity of recent years has occurred in Continental Europe. This has presented opportunities and challenges. New forms of financial instruments and institutions have emerged in countries that have traditionally relied on debt and non-market forms of ...

Publicaciones periódicas en Antioquia 1814-1960
Desde principios del siglo XIX y hasta la segunda mitad del xx, Antioquia fue un territorio fecundo para la prensa. Contrario al panorama actual, cuando existe un único periódico importante, otros más pequeños tienen que arreglarselas con modelos de gratuidad y portales de noticias en línea ofrecen información tan poco verídica como efímera, durante siglo y medio la información y la opinión circularon impresas en decenas de medios. En una misma mañana en Medellín era posible leer cuatro o cinco periódicos diferentes, a veces también en edición vespertina. Y no era un fenómeno exclusivo de la capital, en los pueblos se imprimían quizás más modestos, o solo como hojas sueltas, periódicos de toda suerte que trataban desde el debate político hasta la crítica literaria. Este libro, versión ampliada y corregida de la primera edición que publicamos en 2006, reúne prensa antioqueña conservada en archivos, bibliotecas y fondos documentales del país y del extranjero. Se trata de una guía exhaustiva y comentada de gran ayuda para investigadores y analistas que valoran las publicaciones periódicas como una fuente primaria fundamental.
The Empire of the Cities
This study of the Spanish monarchy, bureaucracy and representative government under Charles V before and after the "comunero" revolt (1520-1521) demonstrates how the emperor and Castilian republics institutionalized management procedures that promoted accountability, advanced a meritocracy, and facilitated expansionism and domestic stability.
Costa Blanca
Beim älteren Publikum ist die Costa Blanca gerade im Winter sehr gefragt, Überwinterer und Langzeittouristen beziehen dann die Ferienwohnungen entlang der Weißen Küste zwischen Denia und Torrevieja. Im Sommer bevölkern junge Familien die Strände, in den Discos tobt sich die Jugend aus. Doch das Hinterland ist nach wie vor weitgehend unentdeckt vom Fremdenverkehr. Hier bietet der Autor Ausflüge zu Marktflecken, Steinzeithöhlen, Fabriken und zum Lepradorf Orba und sogar zur Isla de Tabarca. Hintergrundstories und Interviews mit einheimischen Fischern und Malern, traditionelles Kunsthandwerk und Morro-Feste, viele Internetadressen und Tipps zum vielfältigen Nachtleben sind die Extras dieses handlichen Reiseführers. So ist er nicht nur Orts- und Reisebegleiter, sondern auch Strand- und Aktivitäten-Führer. Die Sympathie des Autors für die Region und ihre Menschen überträgt sich wie von selbst auf den Leser.
