didn't know what to do with myself. I had spent thirty-one years commuting back and forth between the suburbs and the Manhattan offices of Mid-Atlantic Accident and Life, but now that I didn't have a job anymore, there were too many hours in the day. About a week after I moved into the apartment, my married daughter, Rachel, drove in from New Jersey to pay me a visit. She said that I needed to get involved in something, to invent a project for myself. Rachel is not a stupid person. She has a doctorate

education is part of our daily lives. Because education, teaching and learning are so closely related, teaching and learning form part of the daily round of each and every one of us and, as a result, we take them for granted and hardly ever pause to think about them. There is a general tendency to see teaching and learning as activities that are confined to the formal teaching-and-learning situations at schools, universities, technikons and the like. Teaching and learning take place, however, in situations

We are also grateful to Dr Reinhard Busse of the European Observatory on Healthcare Systems and Professor Juergen Wasem of the University of Greifswald, who provided very welcome technical advice about German health care. Finally, we must thank those who participated in the anonymous refereeing process, whose constructive comments have certainly improved the finished product. Naturally, all remaining errors are our own. vii Introduction

Others, on the con- trary, stand out clearly as the best product of the particular set of circumstances grouped about their lives. They seem to be the finished result of a given up-bringing, of a precise tutelage, and of a chosen career. Of this second category Guy de Maupassant is a singularly complete example.

we've got a problem. Martinez is shouting about how there is going to be a walkout. The hourly guy is saying something about harassment. Ray is yelling that we can't finish some damn thing because we don't have all the parts. Suddenly I'm in the middle of all this. I'm looking at them; they're looking at me. And I haven't even had a cup of coffee yet. When I finally get everyone calmed down enough to ask what's going on, I learn that Mr. Peach arrived about an hour before, walked into my plant, and

toddler, and he almost entirely left out treatment of emotion at the other end of the spectrum, in aging. He felt that both areas of development—early life and the end of life—held secrets about what the nature of emotion is, and both areas provide means of confirming or disconfirming what he had written to date about how emotions work. However, he did not draw on these areas for inspiration or self-criticism. Great and creative figures draw from their own experience the creative wellspring of new ideas

Many other people helped in different capacities along the way: Anastasia Luettecke, who taught me about Roman names; Dr. Ed Uthman, who helps me with medical stuff; Victoria and Debi, my continuity mavens; Toni L. P. Kelner and Dana Cameron, whose gentle comments after their first reading keep me from committing many an error; Paula Woldan, whose help

Mexico–United States barrier is also known in the United States as the border fence or border wall. The barrier covers one-third of the US’s entire southern frontier with Mexico. The fence cuts through towns and divides the desert. In parts it is a fence about 5 metres high, built of a strong steel mesh and painted the same colour as the surrounding earth. In some places it is topped by barbed wire; in others it is a solid steel wall. Parts of the border are protected by a “virtual fence” – a network of

However, what is most troubling is that many states apparently do not view human rights as a matter requiring
