Praise for The Learner-Centered Curriculum

-Cullen, Harris, and Hill provide a clear and practical framework for addressing the root of the problems of today's universities. The authors provide a lucid, actionable, and evidence-based prescription for building an integrated learning system to replace the hodgepodge of miscellany that we have inherited. They illustrate the kind of conversations and transformations that could raise the value of and change the prospects for higher education.---John Tagg, author, The Learning Paradigm College

La Frontera Publishing presents Dead or Alive, its latest collection of fictional short stories about the Wild West from America's newest Western writers, authors who may become tomorrow's legends of Western literature. When the law said bring 'em in dead or alive, that's all some men needed to hear. Relentless, like a dog on the scent, they went where the law wouldn't--or couldn't--go, even into territory just this side of hell. They were hunting robbers, murderers, and those whose crimes were too horrible even to talk about. But sometimes the hunters became the hunted, and suddenly the...

This book aims first to prove the local Langlands conjecture for GL_n over a p-adic field and, second, to identify the action of the decomposition group at a prime of bad reduction on the l-adic cohomology of the "simple" Shimura varieties. These two problems go hand in hand. The results represent a major advance in algebraic number theory, finally proving the conjecture first proposed in Langlands's 1969 Washington lecture as a non-abelian generalization of local class field theory.

The local Langlands conjecture for GL_n(K), where K is a p-adic field,...

Institutional diversity serves as one of the fundamental hallmarks of American higher education. After a long history of support for many institutional types, the past 40 years have seen a decline in institutional variety. Through a discussion of history, theoretical contexts, and causes of homogenization, this monograph examines how higher education policymakers and leaders can strengthen institutional mission and preserve the benefits of institutional diversity.

Higher education needs to serve a variety of functions for students, from liberal arts education to vocational training...
