Human Development Report 2001: Making New Technologies Work for Human Development (Human Development Report)

Book Description

The Human Development Report 2001, commissioned by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), is the latest annual installment in a series devoted to shifting the development debate away from a sole concern with economic growth toward a balanced concern for equity, sustainability, and empowerment. Now published in 13 languages, the Report features a wide variety of national development indicators for 162 countries including demographic trends, education levels, gender disparities, and macroeconomic indicators. The Report's Human Development Index now serves as a successful complement to GNP as a measure of overall development. This year's Report tackles the theme of how to make new technologies--such as information and communications technologies and biotech--work for human development. While the potential rewards are tremendous, access to these technologies is still deeply divided. Some 2 billion people do not even have access to the most basic medicines such as penicillin, and four-fifths of all Internet users are found in the world's richest countries. The Report examines some of today's controversial policy issues: the risks and benefits of genetically-modified "frankenfoods," "brain drain" of highly-educated workers from developing countries, patents and other intellectual property issues and much more. And it provides recommendations for national technology policy, international initiatives and fairer global rules that will make the network age an age of opportunity for all.

Rethinking Management Education for the 21st Century / Edited by Charles Wankel and Robert Defillippi (Research in Management Education and Development) ... in Management Education and Development)

ASIN: 1593115539

Book Description

This fifth volume in our book series on Research in Management Education and Development (Information Age Publishing) is devoted toward an empirical and conceptual examination of some long-standing criticisms of graduate management education. This volume also showcases a wide variety of innovative experiments in new visions of Master's level graduate management education. We draw upon a rich array of USA and non-USA scholars and empirical sources in this volume and we are most grateful to our volume's distinguished academic contributors for sustaining our book series aspiration to both reflect upon and shape innovative thinking and practice on important issues of management education and development. The over-arching theme in each chapter is the need for each innovation to be integrated within the larger body of curriculum, program structures and pedagogic practices of the innovative Business School and its overall management education curriculum. Piecemeal and stand-alone versions of each innovation are seen more as pilots for early stage demonstration of the value of the innovation. Each chapter argues for a more holistic approach to embedding each innovation within the fabric of the entire business school and graduate management education enterprise. This call for holistic, integrative approaches to graduate management education is amply demonstrated in many chapters of this volume and we sincerely hope that you will find some inspiration in the forthcoming pages for furthering your own educational vision.

Mastering Executive Education: How to Combine Content With Context & Emotion; The Imd Guide

ASIN: 0080440347

Book Description

Hardbound. Many academic institutions, especially business schools, tend to be managed on an ad hoc basis. Why? Because the leadership may not be fully and formally equipped to lead, and difficult stakeholder-mix issues often limit its ability to govern proactively. This book is meant as a guide for making strategic management a more realistic option for such institutions. It explores the role of the President/CEO/Dean, and offers examples of effective strategic direction setting, including the use of modern technology. This volume features topics such as: a conceptual scheme for setting strategic direction in academic institutions, specifically business schools; a look at key barriers that block strategic change initiatives and how institutions can overcome them; a discussion of the roles of key leaders in the academic institution, including how these roles can be shaped for more effective implementation; a detailed description of management approaches t

Book Description

The New England Fellowship, one of the first non-denominational organizations of evangelicals in the U.S., was founded by J. Elwin Wright. With his assistant, Elizabeth Evans, he tirelessly promoted cooperation among evangelicals through Christian radio broadcasts, rural school education, Bible conferences and young people's ministries. The cooperation they fostered across denominational lines made possible the later city-wide evangelistic campaign. Here primary source material about Wright and the organization appears for the first time. The events it chronicles will be of enormous help to historians as they piece together the story of our recent religious past. Co-published with the New England Fellowship.

From the author: While the National Health Education Standards focused interest and attention on student (consumer) health literacy, equal attention should be given to teacher (provider) health literacy. Teacher health literacy may be defined as "the capacity of teachers to obtain, interpret, and understand basic health information and services, with the competence to use such information and services in ways that enhance the learning of health concepts and skills by school students." This paper reviews a traditional model for school health teacher preparation, then presents an alternative, university field-tested model for enhancing health literacy in teacher education. This new model presents an innovative instructional paradigm, the Child and Adolescent Health (CAH) Logic Framework. This training model (vision) illustrates and emphasizes the link between child and adolescent health research and theory, CAH information, and application to health education, public policy, medical care, and health advocacy.

This lighthearted look at the secrets of the world's wine ceremonies invites vintners and wine drinkers to experience the mysteries of wine and its production. Illustrated in Searle's inimitable style are the ancient noble ceremony of slashing the trockenbeerenauslese, the inauguration of the first authentic denominazione di origine controllata e garantita, and the vinolympics. For wine lovers who have never tasted ptolemy nouveau or watched the uncorking of the kangarouge, these experiences are related with warmth and humor. The many ways to open a bottle of wine are illustrated, and the rituals and delights of wine around the world are described.

This book rocks!.......2002-03-20

John Bogle was right-on when he said "This book is a treasure!" Indeed, it contains a wealth of 403(b) information written in a witty, reader-friendly format. A must-read for 403(b) account holders! I rely on it totally for all of my investment decisions.

At last!.......2002-03-13

Finally, an accessible book for busy professionals to help us get our finances together. Few resources are available to help teachers manage their retirement/investment funds and this book is a must read for those interested. I knew next to nothing before reading this book and found it extremely helpful and insightful. The writing is brisk, concise, and clear which helps to avoid the many confusing dimensions of 403B investing. I found the statistics enlightening and thought-provoking. I think every new teacher, pre-professional teacher, and veteran teacher should read this book. School districts and college education programs would do a great service to their constituents by providing them access to this great resource! I gave it as a gift to many of my teacher friends and relatives who are going into teaching. Share this book with colleagues!!! The author is not a know-it-all investor in the business, but rather a former teacher who has been through the process of investing and she shares her mistakes and successes. Kudos to Ms. Horowitz for demystifying the investment process.

THANKS!!!!

Book is full of errors. It says it is current with new tax law, but is not. It has two pages of new information, but dated informatiion is scattered throughtout. There are spelling errors, errors of fact and omission. Book hastily done. Surprised that Lasser put its name on book. Book is written for a 13-year old, but last time I checked, 13 years olds don't open 403.b accounts.

Book Description

Pat Boone has lived an amazing life of integrity-one that's especially remarkable given his career field: the entertainment industry.

Who else has remained so true to his faith, family values, and love of God while being mobbed by screaming teenage girls, starring in Hollywood movies, befriending royalty, presidents, and rock stars alike, and staring out from the cover of Rolling Stone magazine?

A treasure trove of photos and memoirs, Pat Boone's America finds him looking back with signature humor and humility at a half-century of American culture, carefully observing the moments and issues where he has been celebrated or rejected for what he believes in.

I enjoyed the book, as did a colleague I loaned it to. It's Pat's philosphical statement using his career in pop music as a vehicle. There is some historical perspective and interesting stories along the way. Pat Boone is a genuinely good guy. Someone who stuck to his values despite the opposition. We need more like him, especially in the entertainment world. Lots of pictures illustrate the narrative. A good read.

Sex. Graphic killings. Profanity. Adultery. Flip on the television, head for the movie theater, or open a newspaper and you can t get away from it. How do you raise a family in a world supersaturated with media extolling toxic values that are not your own? Media critic Dr. Ted Baehr and legendary entertainer Pat Boone draw from their own extensive experiences and interviews with experts to help readers understand the power of the media and its influence on families. They also examine the ongoing threats to family values by those in the media who promote a humanistic worldview. Media consumers are challenged to understand their own worldviews, make wise choices and are given the information they need to do so. Baehr and Boone also look at the progress that has been made in family values programming in Hollywood, and offer hope for the future.

A valuable tool in our spiritual battle.......2007-10-10

I have to agree with a previous poster who stated that the book was not cohesive. It seemed that the author jumped around and there didn't always seem to be a logical progression, especially within individual chapters.

That said, I appreciate the general message of the book...our children are watching entirely too much television/videos, and we need to be more careful that what they watch is in line with our Christian worldview and our biblical values.

Overall, I most appreciated chapter 10, titled "Who Stole Our Culture?", authored by William S. Lind. Lind gives the history behind the shift from Judeo-Christian values to politically-correct, cultural Marxist values. He explains that the number one goal of cultural Marxism has been the destruction of Western culture and the Christian religion (including the family) and shows how this has been put into action through gaining access to our institutions - the schools (ie...public education), the media, the churches and every other institution that could influence the culture.

I also thought that chapter 11, "Where Are We Going?", tied together the secular humanism of cultural Marxism with the Muslim advance, especially in Europe. Will the Muslim advance fill the void left in the wake of cultural Marxism? This is certainly a relevant question.

All in all, I would recommend this book to parents (and grandparents!) trying to better understand the pervasiveness of mass media, the dangers to our children, and the evil of the "politically-correct" culture we live in.

Doesn't stay on topic.......2007-09-29

For those of us who work with teenagers, we are aware of the vast influence of mass media in their lives. Most teenagers spend hours a day listening to music, watching television, or surfing the internet. Disturbingly, the messages that stream across the airwaves, through fiber-optic cable, and over Wi-Fi networks often seem to be in contradiction with the values, standards, and norms we are trying to instill into our Christian young people. How should we deal with this?

Ted Baehr and Pat Boone (along with other guest authors) try to answer this question in The Culture-Wise Family: Upholding Christian Values in a Mass Media World. The authors come from the premise that America was founded as a Christian nation (Chapter 4) and that Christians must win the "cultural battle" (157). Ever since the removal of prayer from school, America's social problems and illnesses have grown exponentially (156). Statistics charting the changes in America's cultural landscape from the 1960s to 1990s help support this claim (21). In attempting to turn the tide, Christians who want to "apply biblical principles to all areas of life, and Christ's authority over all things" are left with no choice but to say, "Our goal is nothing less than a Christian civilization" (162). This is the approach the authors take in regard to culture.

The authors assert that the proper interaction of Christians with our culture is to avoid any form of media that does not conform fully to a biblical, Christian worldview. Books and movies like The Da Vinci Code and Harry Potter should be off-limits for Christians. In reference to the media we consume, Christians must always remember that "Jesus, who sits at the right hand of our Father in Heaven and sees all, is watching us, and God is taking down our names" (154). By voting with our pocketbook, those who control the media will be forced to begin producing works that are in line with a Christian worldview.

One of the most helpful chapters in the book is chapter 5, which explains the different ways that children interact with media according to their age and development. It is important for parents and youth workers to realize that children and teenagers do not process media in the same ways as adults because of their mental development.

Perhaps the compilation of authors hurt the book's cohesiveness. The chapters seem to suffer from a lack of flow and obvious thought-pattern. Even within a chapter it is sometimes difficult to see the relevance of some of the author's stories and examples. Additionally, although it is not an academic work, more documentation of sources would be helpful to support some of the claims made in the book.

While there is some value to be gained from this book in regard to interacting with culture, the book suffers from too much sprawl related to issues that have little to nothing to do with helping Christians interact with culture. The book could stand some significant editing or a new title. Too much space is spent hearkening back to the 1950s and waging war against liberals. Readers hoping to find a robust, systematic, and cohesive approach to interacting with culture should look elsewhere.

Few good points, but too long and too complicated a read.......2007-09-28

While there were some good nuggets of valuable information and insight in this book, overall I wasn't too impressed. The book was too long and it seemed like many of the authors writing sections of this book for Baehr were more interested in showing how much they know about a subject and far less interested in passing along anything of value to the reader. Plus, the connection with Pat Boone and what he added to the book told me that the target audience for this book is a much older audience than I would have anticipated - I would think that young parents with younger children would be the primary focus, not grandparents. This book really missed the mark on communicating a clear, concise and consistent message.

However, after saying all that, the book did raise some very good points along the way. The first point made is that children watch way too much TV and are exposed to far too much sexual activity and violence along the way. Parents need to be more discerning and there really isn't any excuse for not knowing what children are watching and listening to these days except for pure apathy. The next point that Baehr does drive home is that parents need to be biblically literate and understand the concept of the Christian worldview as they train their children to be discerning participants instead of mindless consumers of media. Finally, Baehr does communicate that Christians should not retreat from the culture, but prepare to engage.

Overall the book was too long and too complicated for the average parent looking for a resource that will better equip and prepare them to help their children make better decisions regarding media consumption. A much better book that deals with this subject is Leal Arrington's Worldproofing Your Kids.

Insightful and inspiring - highly recommended.......2007-09-26

The Culture-Wise Famiy is an insightful and inspiring reading on the powerful impact media has on our society. This book enlightens us on how Hollywood has desensatized our culture with rampant immorality in its quest to "entertain," the resulting negative effects, and what we can do to stand strong against the downward spiral - by upholding the Christian values our nation was founded upon. An excellent read and reference resource.

Worth reading! Twice!!.......2007-09-21

Before taking in new entertainment, and to reflect on past experiences, this golden resource imparts wisdom regarding the messages media might send. The world-wide statistics and data present thought-provoking insights for discernment to avoid being dumbed down by messages in mass media. Careful guidance prompts meaningful conversations with family members of all ages and friends regarding the values presented through the media. The compilation of articles provides a necessary and powerful means to influence the entertainment industry by making wise choices that impact what will be produced in the future through sales.

Should be considered mandatory reading for anyone contemplating matrimony .......2006-08-20

My One-Hundred And One Favorite Marriage Myths by Pat MacDonald Boone is a highly recommended and beautifully illustrated approach to demystifying marriage. Dr. Boone uses humor, cartoons, questions, suggestions, and solutions through a thoroughly "reader friendly" narrative in addresses such commonly misleading ideas as marriage being a 50/50 proposition between husband and wife, being a married couple means losing individual identity, love is logical, only one of you needs to understand finances, having children will keep the marriage together, dysfunctional husbands and wives should stay together for the sake of their children, and so many more illusions, misunderstandings, naiveties, and fairytales about married life. My One-Hundred And One Favorite Marriage Myths should be considered mandatory reading for anyone contemplating matrimony -- or a divorce!

Communication Promotes Better Marriages and Families........2006-06-21

Marriage is the most important of our life shaping decisions. "My 101 Favorite Marriage Myths" should be required reading for both the bride and the groom before receiving a Marriage License.

It would be best if Dr Pat Boone's book was read and discussed before marriage, however since it was only published this Spring that may not have been possible.

When you send a copy of "My 101 Favorite Marriage Myths" to that "special couple" in your life, it may well be the most significant gift they will ever receive.

Pat Boone's testimony--but so much more..........2001-11-29

Ok, for those of you who don't know, this is Pat Boone's personal story of how he came into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, through discovering that the Holy Spirit is a real person, not just an abstract theological concept. Because this is his personal story, as well as that of how his family came to the same experience, that is how it reads: as informally as if he were sitting with the readers in their own living rooms, having a conversation. The section of his book telling how his daughters were filled with the Holy Spirit is something I often find myself going back to and rereading when I am emotionally low; it picks me up every time! To make a possibly not-long-enough story short--get this book and read it. I don't believe you will be disappointed, especially if you're looking for meaning and purpose to life.
