Book Description

Violent conflicts today are complex and increasingly protracted, involving more nonstate groups and regional and international actors. It is estimated that by 2030—the horizon set by the international community for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals—more than half of the world’s poor will be living in countries affected by high levels of violence. Information and communication technology, population movements, and climate change are also creating shared risks that must be managed at both national and international levels. Pathways for Peace is a joint United Nations†“World Bank Group study that originates from the conviction that the international community’s attention must urgently be refocused on prevention. A scaled-up system for preventive action would save between US$5 billion and US$70 billion per year, which could be reinvested in reducing poverty and improving the well-being of populations. The study aims to improve the way in which domestic development processes interact with security, diplomacy, mediation, and other efforts to prevent conflicts from becoming violent. It stresses the importance of grievances related to exclusion—from access to power, natural resources, security and justice, for example—that are at the root of many violent conflicts today. Based on a review of cases in which prevention has been successful, the study makes recommendations for countries facing emerging risks of violent conflict as well as for the international community. Development policies and programs must be a core part of preventive efforts; when risks are high or building up, inclusive solutions through dialogue, adapted macroeconomic policies, institutional reform, and redistributive policies are required. Inclusion is key, and preventive action needs to adopt a more people-centered approach that includes mainstreaming citizen engagement. Enhancing the participation of women and youth in decision making is fundamental to sustaining peace, as well as long-term policies to address the aspirations of women and young people.

Book Description

Writing manuscripts is central to the advance of scientific knowledge. For an early career aspiring scientist, writing first author manuscripts is an opportunity to develop critical skills and to credential their expertise. Writing manuscripts, however, is difficult, doubly so for scientists who use English as a second language. Many science students intentionally avoid a writing-intensive curriculum. Careful, thorough reviews of draft manuscripts are difficult to secure, and experienced scientific supervisors face more demands on their time than they have time available. Weak draft manuscripts discourage supervising scientists investing the time to coach revisions. It is easier for experienced scientists to ignore the request, or to simply rewrite the article. Early career scientists are motivated to address these barriers but specific advice is difficult to find, and much of this advice is behind a pay wall. This essential, open access text presents writing lessons organized as common errors, providing students and early-career researchers with an efficient way to learn, and mentors with a quick-reference guide to reviewing. Error descriptions include specific examples drawn from real-world experiences of other early-career writers, and suggestions for how to successfully address and avoid these in the future. Versions of this book have been used by Stanford University, UC Davis, Johns Hopkins, and numerous international institutions and organizations for over a decade.

Book Description

The Pulse of a Nation... Is the American Church in trouble? Many Christian leaders in other countries are deeply concerned for the American Church. They cannot understand why we do not see what is happening in our church culture more clearly and do something about it. Has the American Church abandoned many of the fundamental principles that were imparted to them? This growing global concern for the American Church did not start recently. Over three decades ago, the late David Watson, a Christian leader from Great Britain, predicted that by the close of the twentieth century Christianity in the West would probably be too self-indulgent to be a global factor. Sound the Alarm... Is cultural relativity really our problem? It is time for the true body of Christ to rise up and no longer give in to being a product or participant of our current moral declining society. It is time for a CULTURAL WAR! It is time for the Church to be unwavering in its commitment to the true faith. Anything less will leave the American Church in a state of dying a slow, costly death. Confronting a Post-Christian Culture What will it take? Dr. Jerry Williamson has put his finger on the "pulse" of the Western Church. His diagnosis is accurate, well articulated, and documented. The cure is equally clear and achievable if the Church has the discipline and will to apply his prescription. DON'T READ THIS BOOK ... unless you want to be convicted, challenged, and changed! Dr. Williamson is a modern day prophet crying in a secular and religious wilderness. Our response to his message will determine the future of our nation. -Dr. Charles Travis, general secretary, Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches and president, Aidan University DR. JERRY WILLIAMSON is president of GO TO NATIONS, a worldwide missions sending agency, and is well-known for his passionate love for God's Church and for the global harvest. He ministers to pastors and church leaders around the world adding value and effectiveness to their ministries. DR. WILLIAMSON is greatly appreciated for his down-to-earth teaching style and his ability to articulate truth in a clear and concise way.

Book Description

This volume is the first to compile the insights of experienced and informed education researchers and practitioners involved in the delivery of university pathway programs. These programs have emerged as effective responses to global, national and local students’ needs when transitioning to Higher Education. The book opens with an overview of the main drivers for the development of university pathway programs, and a description of the main characteristics of such programs, as well as of the different types of programs available. It examines topics such as the way in which policy and governance issues at the institutional, state, and federal level affect university pathway programs’ financial models, compliance and quality assurance mechanisms as well as program provision. It also looks at how to address issues related to 'non-traditional' background students such as those from lower socioeconomic background, students for whom English is an additional language (EAL), indigenous students, mature age students and humanitarian entrants. The volume showcases thirteen university pathway programs offered in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Qatar, and the United Kingdom. These examples provide valuable insights that will help guide future practice in the field as the programs described effectively foster and support the development of students’ academic literacies, study skills and awareness of the socio-cultural norms that are necessary to participate successfully in higher education settings. In reporting the strategies to overcome challenges in the areas of curriculum development and implementation, of equity, inclusion and participation, of cross-sector collaboration and of student welfare, the volume promotes reflection on these issues and, therefore, better equips those education practitioners embarking on the university pathway program journey.
