From wired campuses to smart classrooms to massive open online courses (MOOCs), digital technology is now firmly embedded in higher education. But the dizzying pace of innovation, combined with a dearth of evidence on the effectiveness of new tools and programs, challenges educators to articulate how technology can best fit into the learning experience.

Heart First
From a young age, Michelle is determined to rise above the limitations of collective belief systems such as getting a "real job" or relying on money. She forgoes a college education, and instead creates her own eclectic lifestyle that involves travel, psychedelics, being voluntarily homeless, and hitch hiking her way to what she is certain will be a brighter future for herself. Set in the counterculture of the 1990's, Michelle gains spiritual insights throughout her haphazard adventures while backpacking through Alaska, Thailand, Mexico and Central America. Despite several setbacks, she continues to press forward with utmost optimism as she struggles to gain her traditional parents' approval and to integrate her free-spirited idealisms into something meaningful on the material plane.

Post-Disaster Reconstruction
On Sunday 26 December 2004, a tsunami of up to 30 metres high hit the northern tip of Sumatera in Indonesia, causing immediate destruction and the deaths of at least 130,000 in Indonesia alone. The scale of the devastation and ensuing human suffering prompted the biggest response endeavour to any natural disaster in history. Post-Disaster Reconstruction will be the first major book that analyses the different perspectives and experiences of the enormous post-tsunami reconstruction effort. It looks specifically at the reconstruction efforts in Aceh, one of the regions most heavily-hit by the tsunami and a province that has until recently suffered nearly three decades of armed conflict.
