Evora Travel Guide, Portugal. One of Portugal's most beautifully preserved medieval towns, Évora is an enchanting place to delve into the past. Inside the 14th-century walls, Évora's narrow, winding lanes lead to striking architectural works: an elaborate medieval cathedral and cloisters; the cinematic columns of the Templo Romano (near the intriguing Roman baths); and a picturesque town square, once the site of some rather gruesome episodes courtesy of the Inquisition. Aside from its historic and aesthetic virtues, Évora is also a lively university town, and its many attractive restaurants serve up hearty Alentejan cuisine. Outside of town, Neolithic monuments and rustic wineries make for fine day trips. Évora climbs a gentle hill above the Alentejo plain. Around the walled centre runs a ring road from which you can enter the town on one of several 'spoke' roads. The town's focal point is Praça do Giraldo, 700m from the bus station to the southwest.

Ethics, entrepreneurship, and governance are very essential and crucial for the sustainable development of institutions of higher education, especially in the face of moral ambiguity or ethical lapses that could occur. As such, it is vital to explore how to facilitate the effective and efficient development of higher education institutions to put into practice ethical behaviors and entrepreneurial values for the progressive future of society. The Handbook of Research on Ethics, Entrepreneurship, and Governance in Higher Education is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the application of ethics, entrepreneurship, and governance in higher education institutions. Featuring coverage topics such academic misconduct, ethical leadership, and student values, this publication is ideally designed for educational administrators, professors, academicians, researchers, and graduate-level students seeking current research on the impact of globalization on the ethics and governance in higher education through various policy decisions and practices.
In the late 1800s, archaeologists began discovering engraved stone plaques in Neolithic (3500-2500 BC) graves in southern Portugal and Spain. About the size of one's palm, usually made of slate, and incised with geometric or, more rarely, zoomorphic and anthropomorphic designs, these plaques have mystified generations of researchers. What do their symbols signify? How were the plaques produced? Were they worn during an individual's lifetime, or only made at the time of their death? Why, indeed, were the plaques made at all? Employing an eclectic range of theoretical and methodological lenses, Katina Lillios surveys all that is currently known about the Iberian engraved stone plaques and advances her own carefully considered hypotheses about their manufacture and meanings. After analyzing data on the plaques' workmanship and distribution, she builds a convincing case that the majority of the Iberian plaques were genealogical records of the dead that served as durable markers of regional and local group identities. Such records, she argues, would have contributed toward legitimating and perpetuating an ideology of inherited social difference in the Iberian Late Neolithic.
