    Book SynopsisThis 2004 book tells the success story of the modern research university in Europe and its expansion to other continents. By focusing on the freedom of scientific research, teaching and study, the medieval university structure was modernised and enabled discoveries to become a professional, bureaucratically-regulated activity of the university.Trade Review'This volume can be read with profit by anyone interested in the development of higher education.'

    Book SynopsisThis is the second volume of a four-part history of the university in Europe, written by an international team of authors, which covers the development of the university in Europe (east and west) from its origins up until more recent years. It focuses not only on the history of individual institutions, nor on the universities in any individual country, but on a number of major themes viewed from a European perspective. The chief originality of this work lies in its comparative, interdisciplinary, collaborative and transnational nature. Volume II looks at the university in Early Modern Europe, and attempts to situate the universities in their social and political context throughout the three centuries spanning the period 1500 to 1800.Table of ContentsList of maps; Contributors and editors; Reader's guide; Bibliographical abbreviations used in notes; Foreword Walter Rüegg; Acknowledgements; Part I.

  • Cambridge University Press Dyslexia in Higher Education

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisPeople can best help dyslexic students once they understand dyslexia''s association with anxiety and effective coping strategies, both cognitively and emotionally. By highlighting the perspectives of dyslexic students, this book evidences the prevalence of anxiety in dyslexic communities. The shared experience from a range of dyslexic learners pinpoints best practice models and helps combat the isolation felt by many with learning difficulties. The author targets academic areas where students struggle, offering techniques to overcome these barriers. Such obstacles are not always due to cognitive factors but may be associated with negative experiences, leading to fear and uncertainty. Recounting these sticking points through student voices, rather than from a staff viewpoint, enables readers to find meaningful solutions to dyslexia-related problems. Through this dynamic methodology, the book shows researchers and practitioners how to understand dyslexic needs on an emotional level, whilTrade Review'This book is a significant step forward in understanding the complex relationship between dyslexia, anxiety and coping in higher education. It moves beyond documenting the association to investigating effective and ineffective coping strategies. It does this through careful investigation of the lived experience of students with dyslexia, and use of theoretical frameworks of dyslexia and anxiety.' Julia Carroll, Professor at the Centre for Global Learning, Education and Attainment, Coventry University, UK'This book is a welcome contribution to the literature highlighting the challenges dyslexic students face at university, both academic and emotional. It is empirically based, relying on both quantitative and qualitative evidence, providing a wealth of detail about the nature of the experience and suggestions as to how these difficulties might be mitigated through coaching, counselling and technological interventions.' David McLoughlin, Professor of Professional Practice in Psychology, University of Buckingham, UK'This is a most useful book that explains the nature of dyslexia and provides practical guidance on how to support students with dyslexia in higher education.' Mark Taylor, Senior Lecturer in Information Systems, Liverpool John Moores University, UK'This book fills an important gap in our understanding of dyslexia in adulthood, exploring the emotional consequences of dyslexia in adults from their own perspective. Linking to and extending theories of coping, it translates these voices into practical strategies for managing study which acknowledge not only the cognitive challenges but also the very tangible emotional responses.' Jane Hurry, University College London, UK'Amanda T. Abbot-Jones' book will be extremely useful to anybody wanting to grasp the current state of play regarding dyslexia in higher education, including legislation, institutional provision disparities, available support and the ways in which dyslexic students struggle both cognitively and emotionally.' Nigel Rodenhurst, ADG FE/HE, Dyslexia ReviewTable of ContentsPreface; 1. Introductory chapter – Dyslexia in adult students; 2. Dyslexia, anxiety and social /emotional barriers in higher education; 3. Theories of anxiety and coping; 4. Identification of the prevalence of anxiety; 5. Effects of dyslexia and emotional responses to academic tasks; 6.

  • Cambridge University Press The Evaluation Game

    Book SynopsisThis text provides a detailed introduction to the origin and development of publication metrics used to measure academic productivity across the world, and the effect they have upon the quality and diversity of scientific research.Trade Review'Research evaluation has taken very different forms under different bureaucracies and political systems. Kulczycki makes a unique contribution by explaining some 'untold histories of research evaluation' from Eastern Europe and comparing metric-based evaluation models under socialist and neoliberal regimes.' Ismael Rafols, Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS), Leiden'Emanuel Kulczycki is uniquely positioned to provide this highly insightful critique of the relationship between academia and the state in research evaluation systems. In this book, evaluation is not merely an event of which researchers are the sole object or beneficiary but a process that is inextricably tied to issues of trust, communication, discipline diversity and the power of the state. Only by reconciling these relationships can we move to more responsible research evaluation and address academic resistance.' Gemma Derrick, Centre for Higher Education Transformations, University of Bristol'The author uses the metaphor in the title to emphasize the competitive environment in which scientific research takes place. He shows the extent to which research evaluation originates (also) from the government. In this context, he points out a remarkable difference between the West (USA and Western Europe) and the former Eastern Bloc. In the West, researchers have more confidence in colleagues, via peer review, while in the former East Bloc, there is a historic distrust in authorities (experts), and hence a preference for bibliometric indicators. The book draws attention to power relations in science and as such is a useful read, not only for information scientists but also for sociologists and political scientists who want to take a glonacal (global-national-local) perspective.' Ronald Rousseau, KU Leuven and University of AntwerpTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Evaluation as power; 2. Economization and metricization; 3. Untold histories of research evaluation; 4. The diversity of evaluative powers; 5. Players and the stakes; 6. Playing the evaluation game; Conclusions; Acknowledgements; References; Index.

  • Cambridge University Press The Royal College of Music and its Contexts

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisLocated between the great Victorian museums of South Kensington and the Royal Albert Hall, the Royal College of Music, founded in 1883, has been a central influence on British musical life ever since. This wide-ranging account places the College within its musical and educational environments. It argues that the RCM''s significance lies not only in its famous performers and composers, but also the generations of its more anonymous former students who have done so much to improve the musical life of the localities in which they have worked as teachers and animateurs. As a cultural history, this account also captures how significantly society''s consumption of music - from new technologies to the altered perspectives of historical and world musics - has changed since the College was founded, and how very different our points of musical reference now are. This study traces the effects of such developments on the College''s work.Trade Review'This definitive study of the Royal College of Music is also an original and illuminating contribution to the social history of modern Britain.' Tim Blanning, Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge'This history fosters deep understanding of conservatoire education, applicable by extension to the whole sector of higher education. This is a richly rewarding volume …' Jane Angell, NABMSA ReviewsTable of ContentsIntroduction – beginnings and contexts, the themes of a history; Part I. Building and Consolidating (1883–1914): 1. The founding directors – George Grove and Hubert Parry; 2. The students; 3. Establishing the musical and educational ethos – concerts and curriculum; 4. The buildings and finances; Coda – the First World War; Part II. Renewal and conventionality (1919–60): 5. Hugh Allen's RCM and musical life between the wars, 1919–1937; 6. The years of austerity – George Dyson and Ernest Bullock, 1938–1960; Part III. Changing Musical Cultures (1960–1984): 7. Keith Falkner and rebuilding institutional confidence, 1960–1974; 8.

    Book SynopsisThose holding Harvard MBAs are near-guaranteed entrance into Western capitalism’s most powerful realm—the corner office.Most people have a vague knowledge of the power of the HBS network, but few understand the dynamics that have made HBS an indestructible and powerful force for almost a century.Trade Review"[A] richly reported indictment of the school as a leading reason that corporate America is disdained by much of the country...in example after example, Mr. McDonald sets out his thesis that money and influence have distorted both the school's curriculum and the worldview espoused by its professors." -- Andrew Ross Sorkin, The New York Times "This is serious history, broad in its sweep and meticulous in the detail." -- Wall Street Journal "Duff McDonald's The Golden Passport is the detailed story of Harvard Business School (HBS) that, willingly marinated in corporate money and influence, prepares each generation of "modern" corporate tycoons. HBS, while alert to shaping the latest management techniques, is largely indifferent to the ongoing corporate crime wave and other criminogenic behavior and externalities corrosive of fundamental civic values and economic equities. Readers can bury their noses in this prodigious tome and come away with a stench of affluent decadence." -- Ralph Nader "The Golden Passport is a tour-de-force about one of our nation's most important and enduring symbols of capitalism. Whether you aspire to attend Harvard Business School or you disdain it for its disproportionate influence on Wall Street and in the executive suites of our major corporations, McDonald's investigative-reporting masterpiece is a must read." -- William D. Cohan, New York Times bestselling author of House of Cards "The Golden Passport isn't the first (and won't be the last) time that pointed criticism has been aimed at the Harvard Business School, but it is certainly the most thorough to date. The story McDonald tells isn't a simplistic one. Rather, he argues that the analytical modus operandi of Harvard-trained MBAs has damaged not just particular companies, but the very fabric of society itself. It's a convincing and important call for change." -- Bethany McLean, co-author of The Smartest Guys in the Room Duff McDonald's Golden Passport is a magisterial history of Harvard Business School and much more. It provides a powerful lens into the intellectual underpinnings and pragmatic failures of American business and American capitalism writ large. -- Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class "Exploring how Harvard Business School became a ticket to the highest echelons of money, power, and influence, McDonald (The Firm) chronicles the school's history in an irreverent, cynical, and frequently funny expose of its pretensions...refreshingly substitutes skepticism for reverence, questioning the limits of business education and of capitalism in general." -- Publishers Weekly "A massively detailed history of Harvard Business School since its founding in 1908 and a searing critique of the school's impact on American capitalism...McDonald's deep research into the 100-plus years of HBS-the faculty members, the courses offered, many of the students-is undoubtedly impressive." -- Kirkus Reviews "McDonald's reporting highlights the school's influence, such as detailing how HBS helped the U.S. win WWII by marrying mathematics and statistics to war strategy, and also how HBS helped define and establish the foundations of managerial knowledge in the country and put American management at the forefront of global business. " -- Booklist "In McDonald's hands this history of the Harvard Business School, its successes and failures, misdeeds and misapprehensions, becomes a window into the increasingly corrupted soul of mercantile America." -- The Globe and Mail

From its inception, our higher education system was not built on equality or accessibility, but on educating—and prioritizing—white students. Black students have always been an afterthought. While governments and private donors funnel money into majority white schools, historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), and other institutions that have high enrollments of Black students, are struggling to survive, with state legislatures siphoning away federal funds that are legally owed to these sch

The Calling of History will be an unforgettable experience for anyone who shares Sarkar's, and Chakrabarty's, interest in historical research and writing." (Anthony Grafton, Princeton University)
