Tricks of the Trade: How to Think about Your Research While You're Doing It

by: Howard S. Becker
Drawing on more than four decades of experience as a researcher and teacher, Howard Becker now brings to students and researchers the many valuable techniques he has learned. Tricks of the Trade will help students learn how to think about research projects. Assisted by Becker's sage advice, students can make better sense of their research and simultaneously generate fresh ideas on where to look next for new data. The tricks cover four broad areas of social science: the creation of the "imagery" to guide research; methods of "sampling" to generate maximum variety in the data; the development of "concepts" to organize findings; and the use of "logical" methods to explore systematically the implications of what is found.

The Art and Politics of Academic Governance: Relations among Boards, Presidents, and Faculty

by: Kenneth P. Mortimer, Colleen O'Brien Sathre
Using case studies and relevant literature, this book illustrates the challenges to legitimate, Shared-governance domains when the routine of the academy is forced to deal with big issues, often brought on by external forces. Mortimer and Sathre have gone beyond a discussion of faculty/administrative behavior by focusing on what happens when the legitimate governance claims of faculty, trustees, and presidents clash. They place these relationships in the broader context of internal institutional governance and analyze the dynamics that unfold when advocacy trumps collegiality.

Why dressage? Why classical riding? Why training horses?

Get your FREE eBook at www.academic-art-of-riding.com Welcome to Riding Academy. The topic of this video is Why dressage? Dressage is a mean to improve the horse physically and mentally.

Dressage is also good for the horse; it produces a balanced, supple, strong and athletic horse. Dressage training can also be elevated to physical therapy. The trainer can overcome many natural weaknesses in his horse, especially natural crookedness, by appropriate gymnastic exercises. So dressage is very important for the health of the horse. Dressage is based on the natural movements of the horse. If the trainer wants to have a correct view of the mechanism of the horse's movements, he must observe the young green horse in the pasture. He'll discover the activity of the individual limbs and of the coactions of all the limbs during forward movement. He will then be convinced that Mother Nature has endowed the young horse with everything that he has seen in well trained dressage horses. In its games, the young colt will display quite a number of the higher-level movements from a passage to airs above ...
