PROCEEDING INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LANGUAGE, LITERATURE AND CULTURE
A culture that is dynamic and continues to develop precisely requires supporting technology such as digital archive storage. Public awareness, the role of universities and the government are needed in the recording and archiving of the local culture. The digitalization of cultural assets is one way to protect Indonesia’s diverse cultural heritage for the next generation.

School Accountability
Scholars from history, economics, political science, and psychology describe the present state of school accountability, how it evolved, how it succeeded and failed, and how it can be improved. They review the history behind the ongoing conflict between educators and policymakers over accountability and testing, describe various accountability schemes, and analyze the costs of accountability. Case studies of three states with strong school systems compare how accountability works in practice. Evers is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution.

Sitti Nurbaya
First published in 1922, the novel "Sitti Nurbaya: A Love Unrealized," by Marah Rusli, retains the poignancy that made it a modern Indonesian classic. In terms of its social impact in what was then the Dutch East Indies, "Sitti Nurbaya" may be compared to "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in the ante-bellum United States. Even to this day, the issues of injustice and indignities suffered by women that this novel raised continue to be debated throughout the country. Rich in description, dense with ironic foreboding and the inexorable workings of fate, Sitti Nurbaya is Samsu and "Sitti Nurbaya"'s ill-fated love story. But in their wishes, the reader might also also discern young people's tantalizing dream of what the East Indies society might become, or could become, if only local genius, embodied in a modernizing youth emancipated from stifling traditions, could fuse with European genius in mutual respect and admiration. This too was, of course, a dream never to be realized, and one perhaps which never could have been realized.
Leadership and Information Processing
Using information processing and leadership perception processes the authors provide a much needed analysis of executive leadership, offering a theoretical and empirical basis for analysing this crucial element of organizational behaviour.
Educational Administration: Theory, Research, and Practice
One of the most widely read books in educational leadership, Educational Administration uses a systems perspective to synthesize the relevant theory and research on organizational behavior and focuses on understanding and applying theory to solve problems of practice. With each new edition, the latest research and theory are incorporated into the analysis of teaching, learning, and leading. Educational Administration helps future administrators understand the content and context of schools, remember key ideas and principles, and apply and practice those principles as they lead.
Developing Expert Leadership For Future Schools
Based on the authors' research on the behaviour and thinking of school leaders, this volume presents arguments about the natue of expert school leadership. It parallels developments in the field from the early 1980s when the emphasis was on identifying the behaviours of effective principals, to the early 1990s, when the focus shifted to understanding the thinking underlying those behaviours. The ideas contained in this book should be useful in helping practising educationalists develop the skills involved in school leadership.
China's Universities, 1895-1995
This first comprehensive account of Chinese higher education during the modern period examines the first hundred years of the development of universities in China, with special emphasis on the cultural patterns that shaped them in ways that differed from the development of Western universities. The first chapter compares Chinese and Western traditions of higher education and sets the Chinese experience in the wider historic framework of imperialism and colonialism. The rest of the volume traces the development of Chinese universities chronologically, with three main themes explored in each period: the knowledge map, or the struggle to develop a modern curriculum; the gender map or issues around the participation of women as students and teachers in modern higher education; and the geographical map, or the efforts to ensure that modern higher education became accessible throughout the whole country. The periods covered by the volume are the republican (1911-1949), the socialist period (1949-1976), the reform decade (1978-1990), and the movement toward mass higher education in the 1990s. An index is included.
Defining National Piano Schools
This book is the result of a six-year investigation into the phenomenon of 'national piano schools' with a particular focus on establishing a definition of it. The book describes the current state of national schools and their evolution - particularly in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. From references in topic related literature to Russian, Austro-German and French piano schools, as well as other less well documented ones, the author identifies key areas through which they may be defined. The book describes current perceptions of national piano schools, collected through interviews with contemporary piano professionals and an internationally distributed questionnaire. To add anothe...
