World Heritage Authentic Stories comprises four stories: In Soccer Sam, Sam finds difficulty in trying to entertain his cousin Marco from Mexico due to the latter’s in ability to communicate in English. However, when the fourth graders challenge the fifth graders in soccer, Sam was impressed by Marco’s skill and energy! But who turns out to be the winner? In Field Day, Rosie and Sally are not on good terms while their teams are competing. Rosie is on the team with red jerseys, and Sally is on the team with yellow ones. With every game the two teams played, scores go up and down until the two teams play the water balloon game and finally the race. Who do you think the winner is? Will the two girls be friends again or not? In The Pudding Like a Night on the Sea Julian’s father makes a wonderful pudding for his wife who is out shopping and decides to take a nap. He asks his two kids stay away from the pudding and not to touch it! However, he wakes up after a while to find out that his two sons have tampered with the pudding and spoiled it! What do you think the punishment they will receive? Sun and Moon presents an interesting dialogue between Earth and the Sun in which the latter complains that the wind, the rainbow, and even children are not good enough to be his friends. The Moon, in its turn, suffers from loneliness, too and refuses to regard the stars, the comets and the children as his friends. Earth finally solves the problem, but how?

We exist in an era of great change and widespread uncertainty in which course-determining decisions lie with organizational leaders; in this continually shifting climate we require their courage to take action. Billions of dollars are spent annually on developing leaders, yet despite these efforts, most organizations report a shortage of leaders - a leadership gap - and estimates of leadership failures approach fifty per cent. Authored by some of the best names in the subject area, this book addresses this issue and provides readers with an innovative approach to learning leadership skills, merging theory with practice to enable a better understanding of this complex and significant subject. It emphasizes a balance of skills, the critical role of feedback in learning and development, and innovative thoughts on developing women leaders. Taking an international perspective, this outstanding text will be an invaluable resource for those studying leadership, organizational behaviour and human resource management as well as those on specialist masters and MBA courses, and will be especially useful for those undertaking the difficult task of leading within organizations.

The 'visual' has long played a crucial role in forming experiences, associations, expectations and understandings of heritage. Images convey meaning within a range of practices, including tourism, identity construction, the popularization of the past through a variety of media, and the memorialization of events. However, despite the central role of 'the visual' in these contexts, it has been largely neglected in heritage literature. This edited collection is the first to explore the production, use and consumption of visual imagery as an integral part of heritage. Drawing on case studies from around the world, it provides a multidisciplinary analysis of heritage representations, combining complex understandings of the 'visual' from a wide range of disciplines, including heritage studies, sociology and cultural studies perspectives. In doing so, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the theoretical and methodological tools necessary for understanding visual imagery within its cultural context.

Teachers face enormous challenges with standardized testing, the customization of education for each student to reach his or her potential, behavioral challenges, changes in demographics of students, micromanagement from school administrators, and difficulties in working with parents and the community at large, to name a few.

Leadership Development for Educators is the book that will assist teachers in becoming better leaders in their classrooms and in their lives. Learning about leadership theory and leadership best practices and undertaking the leadership development exercises in the book will guide teachers to greater workplace satisfaction, improved student performance and behavior, and better collaboration to further improve leadership skills.
