Why not blend?.......2007-01-14
In this book, is "blended" creative and critically the depth of the academic reasoning with the corporative perspective oriented to the organizational performance, that is to say, it takes the advantages from the formal learning of the school with the advantages from the informal learning of the daily experiencie mixing the technologies of distance education with classroom. It makes emphasis not only in the quality of the ingredients that are blended but in the "glue" that holds all those pieces together: the interaction. Interaction's quality instructor-learner, learner-content and specially to learner-learner from collaborative learning's perspective allow building effective virtual communities of learning. It is not a recipe for a single dish, because each dish requires its own recipe. This book is oriented towards an approach blend of blends of many dimensions, more appropriate to actual requirements technological and cognitive. The Jay Crooss's question is really appropriate today: "Why not blend?"
The Most Important Educational Trend in Years.......2006-03-26
'Blended Learning,' buzzword for training that mixes formal face-to-face instruction with computer aided instruction was said by the American Society for Training and Development as one of the top ten trends to emerge in the knowledge delivery industry in 2003. I think that's understating what's going on.
For the first time, the educational system has a way to provide the individual student with instruction that can be exactly tailored to his ability, level, interest and so on. The gifted can go far beyond the standard textbook using the web as an infinite resource. The slower can get additional instruction in areas where he is having a hard time. At the same time, all students are being trained in the use of computers, a skill in its own right that is all but mandatory for the future in any job.
This book summarizes the state of the art as it exists today using institutional models from both industry and educational institutions, 'case studies' from around the world to illustrate in a practical matter what is being done, and some chapters that provide the authors thinking about where blended learning is going.
Anyone working in a teach the teachers environment needs to be aware of these developments which are rapidly growing in importance.
Book Description
The authors of this book challenge prevailing ideas about free markets and globalization. They question whether globalization is a technological reality that cannot be stopped and ask if the US economy really outperformed its competitors in the 1990s. They show how in each key area--trade and industrial policy, privatization, intellectual property rights, investment and financial policies, exchange rate and currency policy, labour and social welfare --there are alternatives to neoliberal policies that the historical experience of particular countries prove really works.
Book Description
* Thorough, authoritative explanation of the instruments involved in the carbon trading market being launched through the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, the Kyoto Protocol and other mechanisms
* The market for carbon and greenhouse gas permits will be huge --potentially as large as the fossil fuel, (oil, gas and coal] markets it aims to counteract
* Essential practical guide and reference for those involved in the market and its development, from industry and finance to policy-makers
On January 1, 2005, the EU Emissions Trading Scheme [ETS] comes into force. In its first phase, in the EU alone, c.10,000 industrial companies will have to trade emissions allowances to manage their energy consumption and carbon outputs. From 2008 on, other economic sectors such as transport, construction and real estate will be brought into the Scheme; and the number of companies and organizations that can trade carbon permits under the mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol is enormous. Carbon trading is seen as the most efficient and effective way to mitigate climate change and will be very widely adopted.
This volume provides a full account of the rules, institutions and procedures governing access and use of international, EU and national mechanisms, particularly the ETS, and Kyoto ones--The Clean Development Mechanism, emissions trading and Joint Implementation, as well as the EU ‘linking directive’ allowing carbon trading under the different mechanisms to be linked.

Global Development: A Reference Handbook.......2000-07-17
Savitt and Bottorf have done a valuable service for the discipline of development economics, first for compiling a comprehensive set of resources in the field and second for making it accessible to the beginner as well as to the expert.
The authors offer a concise introduction to development, including its history and economic principles. Those with an interest in the role of women and development will not be disappointed with the treatment of issues in that area.
Particularly valuable to the researcher are the reference sections, including a chronology, biographical sketches of some of the most notable figures in development, facts and statistics, organizations, an selected print and nonprint resources.
This book is an excellent reference and an essential item on the shelf of every scholar - or nonscholar - who is interested in the plight of the poor throughout the world.

Book Description
Written by over 20 leading international economists, this book offers "win-win" scenarios to economic problems. As in the other volumes of this set of public policy handbooks, the Handbook of Global Economic Policy employs a unique organizational principle: from viewing economic problems from conservative and liberal perspectives, to developing practical, non-ideological solutions to the problems, and finally testing the solution's feasibility in terms of economic, administrative, political, psychological, legal, international, and technological obstacles. The authors confront conventional wisdom about tradeoffs between unemployment and inflation, economic growth and displaced workers, and capitalism and socialism.

Book Description
The first Handbook of original articles by leading scholars of global environmental politics, this landmark volume maps the latest theoretical and empirical research in this young and growing field. Captured here are the dynamic and energetic debates over concerns for the health of the planet and how they might best be addressed. The introductory chapters explore the intellectual trends and evolving parameters in the field of global environmental politics. They make a case for an expansive definition of the field, one that embraces an interdisciplinary literature on the connections between global politics and environmental change. The remaining chapters are divided into three broad themes - states, governance and security; capitalism, trade and corporations; and knowledge, civil societies and ethics - with each section providing a cohesive discussion of current issues. In-depth explorations are given to topics such as: global commons, renewable energy, the effectiveness of environmental cooperation, regulations and corporate standards, trade liberalization and global environmental governance, and science and environmental citizenship. A comprehensive survey of the latest research, the Handbook is a necessary reference for scholars, students and policymakers in the field of global environmental politics.
