The Political University: Policy, Politics, and Presidential

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rosenzweig, Robert M., PUBLISHER: Johns Hopkins University Press, Research universities are unique in American education in the degree to which they are sensitive to policies of the national government. According to Robert Rosenzweig, it is impossible to understand the recent past, the present, and the future of the university without understanding the political process that determines those policies -- including the various ways universities have tried, with mixed results, to shape them to their own ends. In The Political University, the former Stanford administrator and president of the Association of American Universities offers an insider's perspective on research universities, the AAU, and the Washington political agenda. Drawing on thirty years of professional experience, Rosenzweig discusses the problems and prospects of American research universities in light of such issues as shifting federal policies, resource constraints, increased partnerships with business and industry, and the changing needs and perceptions of the larger society. His book also brings other valuable perspectives to the discussion -- those of twelve former university presidents, all of whom served through the s, all of whom left office around for various reasons, and none of whom will ever hold a presidency again. This edition contains a new introduction, which brings some of the issues dealt with in the book into sharper relief. In candid and wide-ranging discussions with Rosenzweig, the former presidents examine the complex political process on which the modern research university depends -- and through which the modern university president must lead constituents. "A very readable and excellent portrait of today's American research university." -- ClarkKerr, President Emeritus, University of California

Diversity and Unity: Relations Between Racial and Ethnic

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Patchen, Martin, PUBLISHER: Wadsworth Publishing Company, This text provides a comprehensive overview of relevant theory and evidence to help students understand the processes and outcomes of ethnic diversity. Rather than describing a succession of specific ethnic groups, the focus is on the general forces and processes - such as formation of ethnic attitudes, intergroup contacts, economic competition, and demographic changes - that lead to such central outcomes as prejudice, segregation, and discrimination. It presents a fresh theoretical overview that links individual attitudes and behavior to societal institutions and processes. Two alternative visions of a multiethnic society are systematically discussed: one promoting assimilation and the other encouraging pluralism. The advantages and problems associated with each approach, the necessary conditions needed to produce this type of society, and possible ways to reduce its problems are outlined. Policy aims and techniques such as ways to reduce prejudice, income inequality, and housing are also examined.

The New American Democracy

Agile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Derby, Esther / Larsen, Diana, PUBLISHER: Pragmatic Bookshelf, See how to mine the experience of your software development team "continually" throughout the life of the project. The tools and recipes in this book will help you uncover and solve hidden (and not-so-hidden) problems with your technology, your methodology, and those difficult "people" issues on your team. Project retrospectives help teams examine what went right and what went wrong on a project. But traditionally, retrospectives (also known as "post-mortems") are only helpful at the end of the project--too late to help. You need agile retrospectives that are iterative and incremental. You need to accurately find and fix problems to help the team today. Now, Derby and Larsen show you the tools, tricks, and tips you need to fix the problems you face on a software development project on an on-going basis. You'll see how to architect retrospectives in general, how to design them specifically for your team and organization, how to run them effectively, how to make the needed changes, and how to scale these techniques up. You'll learn how to deal with problems, and implement solutions effectively throughout the project--not just at the end. With regular tune-ups, your team will hum like a precise, world-class orchestra.
