‘Teachers & Schooling Making a Difference takes seriously the question that teachers ask, “What do I do on Monday?”…and does provide answers.’ From the foreword by Professor Michael Apple, University of Wisconsin ‘Education debates are currently dominated by free-market ideologists who push privatisation and competition as the answer to every problem, regardless of damage to schools and pupils.Teachers & Schooling Making a Difference shows that we can think about education in a far more productive way.’ Professor R.W.Connell, University of Sydney. ‘This book is a lesson in making hope practical…It makes a compelling argument for recognising, supporting and enabling teachers as central to progressive school reform.’ Professor Jenny Ozga, University of Edinburgh ‘What teachers do in the classroom really matters, even though schools cannot compensate fully for difficulties children may face at home and in society. Good teachers and good schools have been making a difference in children’s lives for generations, but what exactly is it that works? Based on extensive research in 1000 primary and secondary classrooms, this book examines the tough questions about teaching methods, curriculum, assessment and teachers’ professionalism. The authors isolate the key elements that make the difference in the classroom, and offer teachers practical approaches to working with all their students. Teachers and Schools Making a Difference is essential reading for teachers and school administrators who want to improve their professional skills and offer a genuinely democratic education.

Business Strategies for the Economic Region That Is Shaking Up the World
To help readers better grasp the causes and effects of the ongoing tectonic shift in economic power, this book examines the 16 nations driving the explosive economic growth of Asia. It shows readers how to apply a “Five Factors” analysis to predict which Asian countries and industries will experience the most vibrant economic growth in coming years—and which will present the greatest risks for international businesses. It then goes a step further, offering insights and strategies that will help businesses assess opportunities in Asia and achieve success there in the years ahead.
To help readers make those judgments, this comprehensive, practical resource includes insightful descriptions of the value systems, business practices, customs, and social characteristics of Asia and of individual Asian nations. It also exposes the intra-regional relationships of Asian countries that contribute to, or undermine, their individual economic potential and that of the region as a whole.

How to write reports that people actually read—and then act upon!
Feel buried by requests for reports? You’re not alone. With fewer face-to-face meetings and so many collaborations to manage, report writing has become an even more important skill. A successful report is easy to define: It’s read and results in action. Write to be read. Here’s how….
How to Eliminate Joblessness, Debt, and Poverty Despite Congress
The year 2010 marked when the National Bureau of Economic Research declared an end to the Great Recession. The economy had shed over six million jobs in 2008 and 2009, but few had been recalled to work by 2010. Today, government policies have yet to make a significant dent in unemployment. In End Unemployment Now, Ravi Batra explores why this is the case. He explains how joblessness can be completely eliminated—in just two years, and without the help of our painfully incompetent Congress. The President and the Federal Reserve have the legal authority to generate free-market conditions that will quickly end the specter of unemployment, all without involving Congress.
Some examples of how to end unemployment without congressional intrusion:
• Creating a bank by the FDIC to compete with banking giants and then charging only 5% interest rates on credit card balances, instead of the standard 10-35% seen today
• Banning mergers among large and profitable firms, as such mergers directly cause layoffs and reinforce monopoly capitalism
• Aid to small businesses in the form of cheap loans and government contracts, because small firms have been real job creators since 1980, while Big Business has been a job destroyer
• Offer retiree bonds to increase the incomes of pensioners who live on savings and whose incomes have been practically destroyed by the collapse of interest rates
• Bring oil prices down to $20/barrel, which would lower a gallon of gas to $1.50

Die Nonkonformisten der Jeune Droite und des Ordre Nouveau in der Krise der 30er Jahre
Die Konservative Revolution, Sammelbegriff für die antidemokratische intellektuelle Rechte in der Weimarer Republik, wird vielfach als Teil eines deutschen Sonderweges begriffen. Eckert geht der Frage nach, inwieweit sich der Begriff der Konservativen Revolution auch auf Frankreich anwenden läßt. Ausgangspunkt sind dabei generationsspezifische Erfahrungen und Parallelen in der Sozialisation der Protagonisten. Die Untersuchung der Jeune Droite und des Ordre Nouveau macht deutlich, in welchem Maße Frankreich eine mit der Weimarer Republik vergleichbare Radikalisierung und Infragestellung der politischen Kultur erlebte. Aus der Presse: “Die Arbeit ist wertvoll durch die minutiöse Rekonstruktion der personellen Verflechtungen unter diesen engagierten Intellektuellen, ihrer organisatorischen Kommunikationszusammenhänge und ihrer ideologischen Entwicklung sowie durch die subtile Herausarbeitung von Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschieden zwischen den französischen `Nonkonformistes´und der deutschen `Konservativen Revolution´.” Klaus-J.
