This book examines the status of training and continuing professional development of teachers on a national and international level. The authors argue that teachers need to feel that they are part of an empowering professionalism, in which their work has an effect on the abilities of students, and where they play a valuable role in shaping the direction of future society.

A discussion of the central theological convictions that underpin Christian life, offering possibilities for a deeper understanding of Christian doctrine.In this book Nigel Wright brings together the two concerns that have defined his ministry: the formation of healthy congregational life and the considered articulation of Christian convictions. In the belief that these two concerns are intimately related, he sets out the range of Christian convictions in a way intended to be accessible to church members who wish to clarify and deepen their understanding. The book is rooted in the belief that the resurrection of Christ is the central reality out of which all other Christian convictions emerge. Beginning at this point and in the belief that Christ is present in the community of believers, the book then explores Christian convictions about God, Christology, creation, salvation, election, evil, eschatology, and witness to the world.

The purpose of this book is to provide foreign executives with an insight into the way Koreans conduct business, and to introduce them to the various factors that determine the Korean business environment. It seeks to briefly describe Korea''s historical, cultural, economic and business environment. All these factors have a profound influence on the success of a business deal, venture or partnership, and this book analyzes the foundations underlying such factors in Korea.

Writing a doctoral thesis can be an arduous and confusing process. Writing a Watertight Thesis helps you to demystify many doctoral concerns and provides a clear framework for developing a sound structure for your thesis, making your thesis watertight, clear, and defensible. Now with the added experience of Mark A. Fabrizi, the authors draw on their extensive experience of supervising and examining numerous doctorates from an internationally diverse and multicultural student body around the world, including in Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, the UK and the USA. The chapters on preparing a research proposal, the viva process, and developing publishable articles out of your thesis have all been updated, and new chapters have been added to demystifying common concerns:Do I have what it takes to do a doctorate?What is doctoral originality?Is my work of doctoral quality?What kind of relationship should I cultivate with my supervisor/advisors?Throughout the book you’ll find examples showcasing central research questions and the sub-research questions derived from them, descriptions of different ways that doctoral students have achieved success, and exercises that will enable you to apply what you are reading directly to your own thesis.

Flexible and adaptive strategies for reducing flood risk while enriching our city environments Urban flooding is an escalating global challenge, intensified by global warming, rapid urbanisation, and complex socio-economic change. Addressing this risk requires more than traditional engineering solutions; it demands an integrated, systems-level approach that brings together spatial planning, infrastructure design, policy, governance, and community engagement. Creating Flood Resilience Across Urban Landscapes provides a comprehensive and practical guide to modern urban flood risk management. Drawing on international research and real-world experience, the book explores how resilient building standards, integrated water management, and a balanced combination of grey infrastructure and blue-green solutions can reduce both the probability and impacts of flooding. Written by leading practitioners and academics, it offers a single, authoritative reference for professionals working across diverse geographical and institutional contexts. Key topics include: Regional variations in flood mechanisms, exposure, vulnerability, and resilience capacity, illustrated through case studies from Europe, Africa, North America, and South East AsiaIncreasing flood risk driven by inter-related climatic, environmental, and socio-economic changeThe combined effectiveness of Nature-Based Solutions and hard engineering interventions in urban flood mitigationFlexible and adaptive approaches that allow flood management systems to remain effective under deep uncertainty and changing future conditionsAdvances in flood monitoring and modelling using artificial intelligence and digital twin technologies to enhance forecasting, optimisation and real time decision supportMonitoring requirements, and maintenance strategies essential for long-term urban flood resilienceCommunity engagement approaches that strengthen preparedness, response, and post-flood recoveryWritten for engineers, planners, developers, regulators, and policy-makers, this book sets out a practical, system-wide agenda for shifting from infrastructure-focused flood management to integrated resilience strategies. Ultimately, Creating Flood Resilience Across Urban Landscapes positions flood risk management as a catalyst for creating greener, fairer, and more resilient cities.
