Analyzing efforts to mobilize such knowledge in nine countries, the contributors to this volume provide an unprecedented international perspective on the way education research is produced and shared. By detailing the many factors that support or inhibit these endeavors, they identify global trends and point the way toward improvements that could increase the positive impact of research in education.
Danish Dynamite
The story of the coolest international football team in history - the 1980s Danish national team - told for the first time in English. The Denmark side of the 1980s was one of the last truly iconic international football teams. Although they did not win a trophy, they claimed something much more important and enduring: glory, and in industrial quantities. They were a bewitching fusion of futuristic attacking football, effortless Scandinavian cool and laid-back living. They played like angels and lived like you and I, and they were everyone's second team in the mid-1980s. The story of Danish Dynamite, as the team became known, is the story of a team of rock stars in a polyester Hummel kit. Ha...
The Creative University
The concept behind the Creative University is about knowledge cultures, critical creative thinking and innovative learning processes, situating the university as flexible, open and responsive to contemporary educational ideologies.

This volume is a provocation for discovery, fostering and critiquing creativity, and advancing innovation.
Harmonies of the Mind
The brain is an orchestra playing a harmonious symphony of the Mind that we experience as the unity of our picture of the world and ourselves in this world. Violations of this process, which we call mental pathologies, lead to dissonances and even complete disintegration of the picture. How do billions of neurons perform this symphony? In other words, how does the brain create a coherent and integral model of reality while maintaining the identity of each encoded signal? In neuroscience, this question is called the binding problem. The harmony of the Mind is a physical phenomenon, and it must be explained physically. The author solves this riddle, based on the Theory of Energy Harmony and the Teleological Transduction Theory developed in the previous volumes of the series. The book describes the physical binding mechanism that makes the symphony of the Mind harmonious and reveals the subtle nuances of its physiological implementation in the brain.
Auswärtiges Amt
Wie entsteht Außenpolitik? Wie arbeitet das Auswärtige Amt? Was genau ist die Aufgabe von Diplomaten, wer sind sie und was müssen sie in ihrem Beruf können? Diese Fragen werden von hochrangigen deutschen Diplomaten anhand praktischer Beispiele beantwortet. Die deskriptive Darstellung einzelner Aufgaben und die analytische Betrachtung von Struktur und Prozess der Außenpolitik wechseln einander ab. Dabei geht es nicht um den Inhalt der Politik, sondern vielmehr um das Berufsbild des diplomatischen Dienstes sowie um Aufbau und Arbeitsweise eines großen Bundesministeriums mit über 200 Auslandsvertretungen. Für beide Themen bietet die Insider-Perspektive eine anders nicht zu erreichende Authentizität, ohne dabei auf kritische Reflexion und Distanz zu verzichten. Das Buch richtet sich an InteressentInnen und BewerberInnen für den Auswärtigen Dienst sowie an Journalisten, Diplomaten, Studenten, Lehrer und das außenpolitisch interessierte Publikum. Da sich die Außenpolitik und das Berufsbild des Diplomaten ständig verändern, ist diese neue, aktualisierte Auflage entstanden.
The Politics of the Male Body in Global Sport
Danish sport has been associated with Europe and the World; not least through I.P. Muller and Niels Bukh and the Danish Gymnastics revolution with its emphasis on male aesthetics and hygiene in the first half of the twentieth century. At the same time, Denmark has stood apart from Europe in the early moments of its history of sport with the rural revolution of the farming communities as a statement of political independence and assertion. However, during the German occupation of Denmark, Danish sport was part of a European collaboration which characterized a number of the occupied countries not least in the Nordic area. After the Second World War, Denmark embraced international body cultures with other European nations in particular Eastern martial arts. Denmark too, as part of trends in the European region and the world, became caught up in sport as a powerful contemporary political statement. This book was previously published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.
