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...
Analysis of Science, Technology, and Innovation in Emerging Economies

In it, the authors explore the aforementioned relationship as a pillar of economic development, driving growth in emerging economies. Employing a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach, the authors work to determine the main related factors and outcomes of the relationship between science, technology, and innovation, ultimately seeking to guide public policies to enhance the welfare of the population of an emerging economy.
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.
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 ...
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.
The Spanish Blue Division on the Eastern Front, 1941–1945
In 1941, the Franco regime established the Spanish Division of Volunteers to take part in the Russian campaign as a unit integrated into the German Wehrmacht. Recruited by both the Fascist Party (Falange) and the Spanish army, around 47,000 Spanish volunteers joined what would become known as the "Blue Division." The Spanish Blue Division on the Eastern Front, 1941–1945 explores an intimate history of the Blue Division "from below," using personal war diaries, letters, and memoirs, as well as official documents from military archives in Spain, Germany, Britain, and Russia. In addition to describing the Spanish experience on the Eastern Front, Xosé M. Núñez Seixas takes on controversial topics including the Blue Division’s proximity to the Holocaust and how members of the Blue Division have been remembered and commemorated. Addressing issues such as the behaviour of the Spaniards as occupiers, their perception by the Russians, their witnessing of the Holocaust, their commitment to the war aims of Nazi Germany, and their narratives on the war after 1945, this book illuminates the experience of Spanish combatants and occupied civilians.
