The focus on improving the business through efficiency and cost reduction and the doing what we do better and improved customer service approach are no longer enough, today it is imperative to take a creative and entrepreneurial approach to exploit new opportunities and creativity must be positioned as a core business skill.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Tourism is one of the world s largest and fastest growing industries, and it represents the main income source for many developing countries. In recent decades, a change in preferences has taken place, and today, many tourists prefer more remote and exotic destinations. Despite the growing importance of developing countries in the tourism industry, there is a lack of attention from the industry toward poor people in developing countries. In particular, tour operators often do not acknowledge a social responsibility to assist poorer populations, as they view themselves as mediators without significant influence. This book examines how Danish tour operators engage in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and poverty reduction in developing countries through qualitative interviews with Danish tour operators. Furthermore, the book focuses on the different limitations of CSR in relation to long-term, development, such as fragmentation in CSR initiatives, the lack of contextualization, lack of knowledge about the impacts of CSR, and the exclusion of the poor in decision making regarding CSR. 112 pp. Englisch.

The data were gathered through an attitude scale and some focus group and one-on-one interviews in a major foreign language institute involving 96 Arabic instructors. The survey included a) the significance of grammar; b)error correction, c)pair and group work, and d) student and teacher roles dimensions of communicative language teaching. Discussion of the survey results in relation to these four constructs is followed by the discussion of emergent themes in these four areas in the interviews. We argue that the results of the study are revelations of teacher at certain time in their career and more professional development could come true trough carrying out action research projects. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Mythology entertains, relates history, and conveys man's relationship to god and the universe. Mythology provides individuals with life models and establishes a connection to the people from whom an individual is descended. Works of modern literature that incorporate mythology and universal themes and archetypes provide a guide, a contemporary guide, to dealing with the problems faced by all people. Homer first established the hero and journey archetypes in 800 B.C. and authors continue to utilize them today. In literature, heroes are important and interesting characters who are role models and who teach the reader important lessons about the human condition. The mythological connection and the archetypes of the hero and journey are presented here in the context of 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'Harry Potter', two incredibly popular cultural icons of literature, through which the timeless lessons of mythology are transmitted to a modern audience. 96 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book discusses how four African women theologians - namely, Mercy Oduyoye and Teresa Okure from West Africa, together with Anne Nasimiyu and Teresia Hinga from East Africa - participate in the inculturation debate. The scene has largely been set by two African male theologians, namely, John Mbiti and John Pobee with the main themes of Community and Christology respectively.The four women theologians highlight a holistic perspective, thereby opening up inculturation in African theology for critique and differentiation. They examine African culture and demonstrate an understanding of women as a distinct group with inherent varieties within this category. Further, they incorporate the experience of West and East African women in their perspective on inculturation thereby analyzing women's subordination. They show a commitment to the emancipation of women within the framework of inculturation. Consequently, the four African women theologians' perspectives contribute to gendering inculturation in Africa. 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) was a leading psychologist whose hierarchy of needs has resonated throughout various disciplines. The pinnacle of Maslow's hierarchy was self-actualisation, characterised by the peak experience. However there are a series of definitional, theoretical and methodological issues related to the hierarchy and self-actualisation. Maslow specifically refuted his own theory, instead suggesting that research should be directed towards self-transcendence as characterised by the plateau experience. To date, the plateau experience has remained obscure. This book explores the problematic nature of self- actualisation and the relationship between peak experiences and flow, before progressing to analyse Maslow's composite musings about the plateau experience. From this, a number of defining characteristics are identified, which subsequently inform the development of a psychometric, the Plateau Experience measure (or PLEX). The PLEX has demonstrated secure psychometric properties and is offered as a resource to investigate the plateau experience further. 104 pp. Englisch.

However, their current roles in Pakistan have been limited to studies based on terrorism and focusing on curriculum reforms. This study argues for more contextual reform processes that accept the institutions as traditional and conservative, and instead of 'secularizing' them, aim to use their social and educational roles. Madrasas then need to be seen as part of an overall educational system in the country that has failed to provide quality of content and universal literacy. Any reform process needs to take this reality into account, and involve the religious leaders of the community in order to be successful and reap the benefits of a centuries- old institution. 56 pp. Englisch.

A gendered analysis of admissions at University illustrates a low representation of females. But, the Kenyan governments' policies in higher education, should have attended to this problem. Hence, this book seeks to examine the governments' gender-related access policy making processes in higher education. This study shows that it is useful to distinguish between different stages in the gender related access policy making process. However, the separations between the stages are not black-and- white and decision-making continues in the implementation and evaluation stages. Consequently, policy making is a complex, iterative process that may not be predetermined from start to finish. This study indicates the intricacy of coming up with policy issues or problems, policy objectives and policy instruments. However, there are challenges in the implementation of gender-related policies thus this book posits competing views in the practices of policy making and implementation in Kenya. 100 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Sherman Alexie is a modern mythmaker; he is a storyteller with a firm belief in the power of storytelling. The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven is a collection that explores the nature of relationships between people and these characters' struggle to find an autonomous modern identity. By studying literature and the structures in literature, new understandings of how we view life and ourselves may emerge and therefore literature needs to be given a significantly larger space in second language teaching than what has been the tradition in Norwegian schools. This analysis briefly presents the leading theories on the field of narratology. It also explains how narratology can be didactic, and how information and knowledge can be presented as a narrative. Alexie is a writer who explores his life experience as a Native American and who has taken on a similar role of a storyteller and trickster employed in his fiction as a means to survive reservation life through exaggeration and humor, mirroring the Native American storytelling tradition. My goal is to offer a narratological approach to his work which connects narratives with reality through a coherent line called didactic. 96 pp. Englisch.

Teaching in an online environment requires a special set of teaching skills since many of the strategies and tactics associated with best teaching practices are somewhat constrained by the primarily text-based environment. This handbook summarizes the key strategies that an instructor utilizes to be effective in an online environment especially using Moodle LMS tools. The handbook was developed in response to the growing number of instructors at institutions who are considering or making the transition to using Learning Management systems (eg. Moodle LMS) to complement their face to face teaching and those who are currently teaching in ICT-Mediated distance programmes. Whether totally inexperienced in online instruction or are relatively savvy about it, instructors through this handbook will find the answers to many questions about how to manage a state-of-the-art online course. 76 pp. Englisch.

Syllabi were gathered from leading Hellenic Studies programs from across the United States and from language institutes in Athens, Greece. The syllabi were examined to identify both the textbooks used as well as the structure of the course and assignments given. While the translation approach is useful in teaching Modern Greek, it is not as successful as the total-immersion approach. Language centers and programs should adopt the total-immersion approach to teach Modern Greek to adult students. 88 pp. Englisch.

The concept map version utilized in this study was select and fill-in (SAFI) to ensure objectivity and ease of scoring. In validation of the test, the endeavor was made to rigorously pretest the test through three separate pilot studies, to address validity from different angles, to investigate construct validity through think aloud procedure, and to further validate the test via a triple-comparison among three L2 reading test formats. The results substantiated that SAFI concept map can be a reliable and valid tool of L2 reading assessment which has the potential of assessing connected understanding and discourse comprehension. A significant practical implication of concept map assessment approach is that it offers the prospect of developing L2 reading tests that encourage testees' utilization of higher-order abilities, while allowing for objective scoring. The comprehensive discussion and implications presented in the book should be especially useful for L2 test developers and instructors, as well as L2 learners. 120 pp. Englisch.

The group's leader, John Humphrey Noyes, and his followers claimed to be conducting a scientific social experiment based on their religious tenets. Historical scholarship has placed little emphasis on the scientific aspects of the community in the context of antebellum Evangelical religion and has instead focused on the community's social organization, economic organization, and the theocratic leadership of Noyes. The community's copious publications and member correspondence provide the foundation of primary sources. Secondary sources provide background on the popularly held beliefs of the role of science and the millennial religious fervor of the antebellum era associated with the Second Great Awakening. The conclusion drawn is that the Oneida Community did engage in a series scientific experiments founded on their religious beliefs that challenged traditional marriage practices, domestic living arrangements, and human reproduction in an attempt to prove the pangenesis theory and herald the millennium. 112 pp. Englisch.

An effective model for teaching and learning, the Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education by Arthur Chickering and Zelda Gamson state that good teaching employs student-faculty contact, cooperation among students, active learning, prompt feedback, time on task, high expectations, and respect for diverse talents and ways of learning. While the principles have been applied to a variety of disciplines, many of these have encompassed contexts within the larger, traditional classroom. Applying the Seven Principles to the more intimate environment of the collegiate applied-music studio by translating them into a musical context, providing music-specific activities that foster learning, and including assessment tools that measure the validity of these applications provides enriched opportunities in learning and mentorship for both the student and teacher. 100 pp. Englisch.

As a result of these complaints, there has also been a rise in researches looking into educational provisions for these children and parents satisfaction with these provisions. This book reviews twenty studies which surveyed parents of children with special educational needs. The aim was to identify common themes related to their wishes, needs and / or satisfaction regarding provisions in mainstream, special schools and other services for their children. All the studies were conducted in the UK between 1981 and 2006. They investigated an array of issues including what parents wanted their children to learn, type of school setting they desired, type and level of participation the parents desired with the service providers, their level of satisfaction, community based services, and their expectations on the attitudes of professionals involved. The review has helped to shed some light on how far government policies have gone to involve parents in making decisions about their children's education. 84 pp. Englisch.

I will analyze how my sense of a Lithuanian identity has been shaped by memories of Lithuania's history and by the changing international political context, up to and after restitution of Lithuanian independence in 1990. Few years ago I was away from my native Lithuanian community for quite a long period of time, but did not find a new community to belong to, and remained to a large extent marked as a stranger , though I was in certain circumstances trying to represent and incorporate some collective Lithuanian features in my daily living. In my work I will discuss the dynamic process of balance between, on the one hand, freedom and loneliness, versus, on the other hand, the security of being inside one's native community. This book should be especially useful to the academics researching about the nature of collective memory and the notion of collectivity , or anyone else who may be interested in the politics of intercultural representations. 80 pp. Englisch.

Taking birth in a traditional Vaishnavite family of India, I am also motivated towards this subject right since my childhood. Coming in contact with Mr. Yogendar Nath Dixit, a teacher of Mathematics at Allahabad (India) with profound knowledge of Indian astrology, in 1963, I learnt many more interesting characteristics of the subject from him during my long association with him. It was October 1995 when I was compelled to give a talk in an International Conference on Integrated Systems of Medicine organized at the Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (India) by its organizers, I selected this topic and prepared a lecture (in English) with due consultations with many scholars of the subject. Varanasi has been well-known since ages for its scholars in astrology too. With my long expertise of mathematical training, I have tried to present here various aspects of astrology (with special reference to Indian astrology) in brief. Many explanations are given here in of mathematical tabular form that makes comprehension of the complex subject easier. 60 pp. Englisch.

The research identified that the farmers got credit on both group guarantee and collateral basis. The credit mostly used for production purpose; however, some of the borrowers used some credit for consumption purpose as well. Overall, the credit positively made contribution to income, food security, employment opportunities, savings and capacity strengthening. Since household income increased, it helped to improve the quality of life of villagers. However, the amount of credit provided was inadequate. This constrained improved socio-economic status of poor villagers. Another significant finding was that some of villagers could not achieve more benefits from using credit in their production activities because of restricted loan size. They could not get adequate amount of loan because of insufficient or lack of collateral. Finally, a set of recommendation has been made suggestions for improvement of the effectiveness of credit schemes. This can help the poor people to improve their income and quality of life. 92 pp. Englisch.

This study evaluated the contribution of community gardens towards alleviating food insecurity among 53 community gardeners in Maphephetheni, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Food security was measured using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale. Eighty per cent of households consumed insufficient food, 72 per cent consumed food of inadequate quality and 89 per cent were anxious about food supplies. Among the households surveyed, 89 per cent were categorised as severely food insecure. Community gardens and purchasing accounted for 11 per cent and 83 per cent of consumed food respectively. Limited community gardens size, droughts, floods, theft and pests and diseases limited community garden productivity. Community gardens did not significantly contribute to household food security. Further investigation of appropriate gardening practices and crops is required. Diversification of income sources should be promoted to ensure food security. 104 pp. Englisch.
