Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book discusses the role that integrated science and higher education policies may play in further democratizing and promoting social-economic development in Latin America. It suggests that such democratizing and development may be achieved in two complementary ways: i) broadening the access to knowledge through formal learning processes of higher education, and ii) promoting the advanced qualification of people while strengthening research institutions. The book shows how this entails a complex process of policy integration, with an emphasis on human resources and institutional issues combined in processes of technical change. It discusses in detail the three main challenges that most Latin American countries face in a globalized age, based on knowledge and ever-evolving learning processes. These challenges are the need to broaden the access to higher education; to make this access more socially balanced; and to recover from a long gap in investing in knowledge production and dissemination. This book treats these issues from a variety of conceptual and methodological perspectives that present a contribution to the field of science policy and higher education studies, and inform policymakers in Latin America.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book addresses agency and habitus development of migrant academics in Japan and reveals the complexity of international academic mobility in East Asian contexts. It addresses differentiated transnational academic mobility routes and route-confined capitals and dispositions, the effect of stratified social networks and network embeddedness on international academic mobility, and the effect of unequal globalization and the asymmetrical internationalization of international academic mobility.The book highlights the roles of transnationally stretched social network development and network embeddedness along life trajectories, locating them as critical infrastructures of mobilities and identifying an array of individual social network building and maintenance strategies and principles. It illustrates how familial, educational, academic and social networks across borders facilitate and channel flows of capitals and resources vital for academic performance and upward academic mobility of migrated academics. It draws on a range of theoretical frameworks of Bourdieusian theory of sociology, transnationalism and qualitative social network analysis. The research is based on 26 case studies of migrant scholars in Japan, using narrative inquiry and qualitative social network analysis. The work provides multiple implications for practitioners, policy makers and researchers who seek answers to the sustainability of the internationalization of higher education in Asia Pacific and emerging higher education hubs.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. English text.; 29.5 x 30.5 cm.; 3.1 kg.; 424 pages, 212 photos, 68 illustrations.; LIMITED EDITION OF 400 COPIES.; New. Please note that this book is sold without a protective plastic cover. Consequently, minor signs of handling may be present on the cover and air bubbles may occasionally be visible.; The astounding artistry of António Horta-Osório's antique chess collection is now being revealed to the world, one volume at a time. Volume 1: India highlights the antique chess sets of India and the Indian subcontinent. Master craftsmen from different regions within India, working solely with primitive tools, created exquisitely beautiful chess sets that have stood the test of time for many years, and for many years yet to come. This 424 page reference volume includes fourteen scholarly chapters written by leading chess experts and historians, complemented by 212 high-resolution photographs and 68 illustrations. The game of chess brings to life some of the defining features of our humanity: intellect, imagination, creativity, and the appreciation of artistic beauty. These features are on display whenever a chess game is played, whenever the pieces are moved across the board. And not only within the strategy of the game: the chess pieces themselves can be objets d'art of the highest order, especially those from distant lands and from centuries past. Thirty-two miniature sculptures, each of which bears the hallmarks of history and the symbolism of subjects within their respective kingdoms. Over the past several decades, Sir António Horta-Osório has built a world-class collection of the best antique chess sets, chess boards, and chess pieces. His collection is considered by many to be the finest such collection ever assembled. The subsequent volumes will cover other regions of the world and will be published within the next several years, each with the same painstaking attention to top-quality production as the current volume.…
