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.
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.
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.
