SHORT-LISTED FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEARThe Wall Street Journal's award-winning business reporter unveils the bizarre and sinister story of how a math genius named Tom Hayes, a handful of outrageous confederates, and a deeply corrupt banking system ignited one of the greatest financial scandals in history. The paperback edition includes a new chapter discussing further fallout from the scandal.In 2006, an oddball group of bankers, traders and brokers from some of the world’s largest financial institutions made a startling realization: Libor—the London interbank offered rate, which determines interest rates on trillions in loans worldwide—was set daily by a small group of easily manipulated functionaries. Tom Hayes, a brilliant but troubled mathematician, became the lynchpin of shadowy team that used hook and crook to take over the process and set rates that made them a fortune, no matter the cost to others. Among the motley crew was a French trader nicknamed “Gollum”; the broker “Abbo,” who liked to publicly strip naked when drinking; a Kazakh chicken farmer turned something short of financial whiz kid; an executive called “Clumpy” because of his patchwork hair loss; and a broker uncreatively nicknamed “Big Nose.” Eventually known as the “Spider Network,” Hayes’s circle generated untold riches —until it all unraveled in spectacularly vicious, backstabbing fashion.Praised as reading “like a fast-paced John le Carré thriller” (New York Times), “compelling” (Washington Post) and “jaw-dropping” (Financial Times), The Spider Network is not only a rollicking account of the scam, but a provocative examination of a financial system that was warped and shady throughout.

Aquest llibre és un recull de narracions d'un veterà amb més de quaranta anys dedicats a la medicina i la docència, activitats per les quals sent una indiscutible, irracional i gairebé perversa debilitat. L'autor, que es confessa impúdic de mena, explica nombroses anècdotes en el camp de l'ensenyament i reflexiona sobre l'educació a diversos col-lectius: pacients, escolars, estudiants de Medicina i companys de professió. A diferència de Sant Agustí que recomanava fer-ho amb amor i temor, ell hi posa amor, humor, i tot s'ha de dir, alguna punta de mala bava. Després de trepitjar terrenys relliscosos com l'educació dels fills, els néts, els gossos i la parella, les darreres pàgines reprodueixen uns papers antics que semblen fets a mida per concloure aquest llibre, fet amb la intenció de distreure, provocar el somriure i ei, si pot ser, com diria Pere Quart, fer pensar una mica sobre l'activitat apassionant que és l'educació.

Die Entwicklung im Schulbereich ist einerseits durch autonome Spielräume und andererseits durch Stimmen von Lehrenden gekennzeichnet, die gesetzliche Vorgaben beklagen. Lehrende haben oft wenig Interesse, gemeinsam Schulentwicklung zu gestalten, zeigen aber Lust nach didaktisch-methodischen Impulsen. Schulentwicklung wird nur dann erfolgreich sein, wenn sie mit didaktischen Innovationen verbunden ist. Es geht um die Beziehung zwischen schulischer Organisationsentwicklung und neuer Lernkultur. Eine Auseinandersetzung mit schulischer Realität und zukünftigen Bildungskonzepten ergibt sich zwangsläufig. Es geht um die Umsetzung konkreter Erkenntnisse aus den Erziehungswissenschaften und bildungspolitischen Notwendigkeiten. Es bedarf auch der Auseinandersetzung mit wichtigen Aspekten des schulischen Lebens. Angedacht sind die Unterrichtsformen, Leistungsbeurteilung, Demokratisierung der Schule als Merkmal einer Lernkultur. Bedeutung erhalten in einer Schulentwicklung Politische Bildung, interkulturelle Bildung, Inklusion, Jugendkultur, soziales Lernen. Am Beispiel Vorberufliche Bildung als Vorbereitung auf eine Schul-, Studien-und Berufswahl ergeben sich Merkmale von Schulentwicklung.

This book provides valuable information and practical insights regarding preparing for and pursuing a successful faculty career. It offers essential guidance through sequential chapters that consider the various stages of a successful faculty career, including what faculty members need to know with respect to each lesson and the role of each topic in contributing to career success. Each lesson also provides useful career guidance regarding things that faculty members should do as well as avoid doing during each stage of a faculty career. The book is designed to serve as an essential learning tool in related career preparation courses as well as a valuable self-study and reference source for faculty members. The unfortunate reality is that most graduate programs do not provide essential career guidance regarding the roles and responsibilities of becoming and succeeding as a faculty member. The phrase "hidden curriculum" has been used to describe this unfortunate reality. New faculty members often discover that they are expected to know so many essential things once they become a faculty member. The mission of this book is, therefore, to contribute to the success of readers throughout their careers as faculty members and enhance their ability to meet and exceed the expectations of their students, institution, and other stakeholders. The various lessons are designed to enhance faculty success throughout one's career as well as the meaningfulness and pleasure of one's faculty career.

Der DJI-Sammelband beleuchtet die Zusammenarbeit von Zivilgesellschaft, Bildung und Politik in Bezug auf Bildungspolitik und -praxis mit Beiträgen zu empirischen Befunden und Praxiseinsichten. Der Sammelband, herausgegeben von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern des Deutschen Jugendinstituts, wendet sich gleichermaßen an Wissenschaft und Fachpraxis. Er greift die Diskrepanz auf zwischen der großen Akzeptanz und den weitreichenden Erwartungen der an Bildungslandschaften Beteiligten und der bisher randständigen Position der organisierten Zivilgesellschaft in Bildungspolitik und -praxis, aber auch in der empirischen Forschung zu kommunalen Bildungslandschaften. In insgesamt 11 Beiträgen präsentiert er in erster Linie empirische Befunde und Praxiseinsichten zur Zusammenarbeit zwischen zivilgesellschaftlichen Organisationen, Bildungseinrichtungen und kommunaler Politik und Verwaltung.
