International Handbook of Public Procurement
Th is book is a response to the persistent suggestion of Dr. Jack Rabin, former executive editor of the Public Administration and Public Policy Series. I agreed to undertake this challenging project several months before Dr. Rabin’s death in late 2006. It is challenging because its scope is extremely broad. First, from the perspective of procurement organization, how can a book cover the procurement systems of all the countries in the world? Should it cover only national government procurement systems? Should it focus on only public procurement systems and practices in industrialized countries and ignore the same in developing countries? Should it also cover procurement systems of...

THE BIRTH OF HEAD START
Project Head Start has been one of the most popular and enduring legacies of President Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society.. Although questions remain about the long-term effectiveness of current Head Start projects, Republicans as well as Democrats support its expansion and improvement. One recent suggestion for improving Head Start involves enhancing its educational focus. During the 2000 presidential campaign, candidate George W Bush recommended transferring it from the Department of Health and Human Services to the Department of Education and emphasizing teaching literacy skills in early childhood education programs...

Science and Technology of Terrorism and Counterterrorism Second Edition
When we look at things impassionedly, the answers to both these questions appear to be that we are more fearful and the situation is worsening. Why is this so when we live in a world that has better communications, better science and technology, and more fi nancial power than was the case in 2002? After the events of 9/11 (September 11, 2001), we have witnessed bombs being detonated in Madrid (Madrid train bombing in March 2004) that killed 191 and wounded over 600; the bus hijacking in Ulghur, Krygyzstan (March 2003) that resulted in 20 deaths; suicide attacks in 2004 at the Port of Ashdod, Israel,...

Health Capital and Sustainable Socioeconomic Development
This coedited book addresses an unmet need in the marketplace by posing management strategies from various international sources for improving healthcare outcomes. With the recent outbreaks of worldwide calamities such as famine, natural disasters, pandemics, proliferation of substance abuse, posttraumatic syndrome states, and other related disease containment concerns, there is increased international attention to disease detection, surveillance, prevention, containment, and treatment methods. There is also a growing realization of the important role that health capital plays in increasing the value of a nation’s well-being, that is, on the quality of a nation’s socioeconomic development. This concept has been referred to as the health capital of a nation....

Scholars in the Marketplace
Scholars in the Marketplace distinguishes between privatisation and commercialisation, two processes that drove the Makerere reform. It argues that whereas privatisation (the entry of privately sponsored students) is compatible with a public university where priorities are publicly set, commercialisation (granting each faculty financial and administrative autonomy for to design a market-responsive curriculum) inevitably leads to market-determined priorities in a public university. The author warns against commercialisation of public universities as the subversion of public institutions for private purposes....

IN THE BISHOP'S CARRIAGE
When the thing was at its hottest, I bolted. Tom, like the darling he is—(Yes, you are, old fellow, you're as precious to me as—as you are to the police—if they could only get their hands on you)—well, Tom drew off the crowd, having passed the old gentleman's watch to me, and I made for the women's rooms. The station was crowded, as it always is in the afternoon, and in a minute I was strolling into the big, square room, saying slowly to myself to keep me steady: Nancy, you're a college girl—just in from Bryn Mawr to...

THE VALLEY OF SILENT MEN A STORY OF THE THREE RIVER COUNTRY
Before the railroad's thin lines of steel bit their way up through the wilderness, Athabasca Landing was the picturesque threshold over which one must step who would enter into the mystery and adventure of the great white North. It is still Iskwatam—the door which opens to the lower reaches of the Athabasca, the Slave, and the Mackenzie. It is somewhat difficult to find on the map, yet it is there, because its history is written in more than a hundred and forty years of romance and tragedy and adventure in the lives of men, and is not easily forgotten....

THE MAN OF THE FOREST
I At sunset hour the forest was still, lonely, sweet with tang of fir and spruce, blazing in gold and red and green; and the man who glided on under the great trees seemed to blend with the colors and, disappearing, to have become a part of the wild woodland. Old Baldy, highest of the White Mountains, stood up round and bare, rimmed bright gold in the last glow of the setting sun. Then, as the fire dropped behind the domed .peak, a change, a cold and darkening blight, passed down the black spear-pointed slopes over all that mountain world....

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD
THE work of the day being over, I sat down upon my doorstep, pipe in hand, to rest awhile in the cool of the evening. Death is not more still than is this Virginian land in the hour when the sun has sunk away, and it is black beneath the trees, and the stars brighten slowly and softly, one by one. The birds that sing all day have hushed, and the horned owls, the monster frogs, and that strange and ominous fowl (if fowl it be, and not, as some assert, a spirit damned) which we English call the whippoorwill,...

Lady Rose's Daughter A Novel
Hullo! No!--Yes!--upon my soul, it is Jacob! Why, Delafield, my dear fellow, how are you? So saying--on a February evening a good many years ago--an elderly gentleman in evening dress flung himself out of his cab, which had just stopped before a house in Bruton Street, and hastily went to meet a young man who was at the same moment stepping out of another hansom a little farther down the pavement.

THE MISSISSIPPI BUBBLE
The speaker cast upon the cloth-covered table a singular object, whose like none of those present had ever seen. They gathered about and bent over it curiously. This is that America, the speaker repeated. Here you have it, barbaric, wonderful, abounding! With sudden gesture he swept his hand among the gold coin that lay on the gaming table. He thrust into the mouth of the object before him a handful of louis d'or and English sovereigns. There is your America, said he. It runs over with gold. No man may tell its richness. Its beauty you can not imagine. ...

THE CRISIS
Faithfully to relate how Eliphalet Hopper came try St. Louis is to betray no secret. Mr. Hopper is wont to tell the story now, when his daughter-in-law is not by; and sometimes he tells it in her presence, for he is a shameless and determined old party who denies the divine right of Boston, and has taken again to chewing tobacco. When Eliphalet came to town, his son's wife, Mrs. Samuel D. (or S. Dwyer as she is beginning to call herself), was not born. Gentlemen of Cavalier and Puritan descent had not yet begun to arrive at the Planters' House,...

DANGEROUS DAYSby Mary Roberts RinehartCHAPTER I Natalie Spencer was giving a dinner. She was not
Natalie Spencer was giving a dinner. She was not an easy hostess. Like most women of futile lives she lacked a sense of proportion, and the small and unimportant details of the service absorbed her. Such conversation as she threw at random, to right and left, was trivial and distracted. Yet the dinner was an unimportant one. It had been given with an eye more to the menu than to the guest list, which was characteristic of Natalie's mental processes. It was also characteristic that when the final course had been served without mishap, and she gave a sigh...

Red Pottage
I can't get out, said Sterne's starling, looking through the bars of his cage. I will get out, said Hugh Scarlett to himself, seeing no bars, but half conscious of a cage. I will get out, he repeated, as his hansom took him swiftly from the house in Portman Square, where he had been dining, towards that other house in Carlton House Terrace, whither his thoughts had travelled on before him, out-distancing the trip-clip-clop, trip-clip-clop of the horse.

African languages in a digital age
With increasing numbers of computers and diffusion of the internet around the world, localisation of the technology and the content it carries into the many languages people speak is becoming an ever more important area for discussion and action. Localisation, simply put, includes translation and cultural adaptation of user interfaces and software applications, as well as the creation and translation of internet content in diverse languages. It is essential in making information and communication technology more accessible to the populations of the poorer countries, increasing its relevance to...

Working Partnerships in Higher Education Industry and Innovation
In 2004,the HSRC ’s research programme on Human Resource Development launched the Working Partnerships Series to explore the extent to which the networked practices that are believed to characterise the knowledge economy have indeed begun to penetrate South African higher education and industry. One of four publications in the series, the focus of this study is to map the scale and form of research linkages and collaborative practices between higher education institutions and industry in three relatively new, high technology fields that have been identified as most likely to generate benefit...

Flight of the Flamingos
Divided into four groups, the participants were asked to create scenarios of what could happen to the country once a Black government took over. Not what they wanted to or feared would happen. But what could. The participants though had one thing in common. They were deeply disaffected by the stalemate and wanted change.

Bounds of Democracy
Spanning pivotal years in the historic democratisation of South Africa, the essays collected in Bounds of Democracy provide a trenchant reflection on Higher Education in transition. Arguably South Africa’s foremost philosopher of education, Wally Morrow grapples with very real concerns in higher education policy-making and practice, from stakeholder politics to institutional cultures; from curriculum transformation to an interrogation of the function of higher education institutions in modern societies. Exposing the tensions between egalitarian principles and the nature of higher knowledge,...
