This title covers several facets of tort law from a global perspective, including the tort law of other countries, as compared to U.S. law; U.S. statutes with an international tort law aspect (such as the Alien Tort Statute, the Anti-Terrorism Act, and the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act); and international tort treaties, such as the Warsaw Convention. The materials will add depth to your students’ views of the U.S. tort system and the larger legal world. While intended as a supplement in torts courses, the book is also suitable for a stand-alone course.

Business schools are critical players in higher education, educating current and future leaders to make a difference in the world. Yet we know surprisingly little about the leaders of business schools. Leading a Business School demystifies this complex and dynamic role, offering international insights into deans’ dilemmas in different contexts and situations. It highlights the importance of deans creating challenging and supportive learning cultures to enhance business and management education, organizations and society more broadly. 
Written by renowned experts on the role of the dean, Julie Davies, Howard Thomas, Eric Cornuel and Rolf D. Cremer, the book traces the historical evolution of the business school deanship, the current challenges and future sources of disruption. The leadership characteristics and styles of business school deans are presented based on an examination of different dimensions of their roles. These include issues of strategic positioning, such as financial viability, prestige, size, mission, age, location and programme portfolios, as well as the influences of rankings, sector accreditations, governance structures, networks and national policies on strategy implementation. Drawing on international case studies and deans’ development programmes globally, the authors explore constraints on deans’ autonomy, university and external relations, and how business school deans add value over the period of their tenures. 
This candid and well-researched book is essential reading for aspiring business school leaders, those hiring and working with deans, and other higher education leaders.

Coordinating History Across the Primary School

Best known as the Saducismus triumphatus (1681), Joseph Glanvill’s book on witchcraft is among the most frequently published from the seventeenth century, and its arguments for the reality of diabolic witchcraft elicited passionate responses from critics and supporters alike. Davies untangles the intricate development of this text and explores how Glanvill’s roles as theologian, philosopher and advocate for the Royal Society of London converge in its pages. Glanvill’s broader philosophical method and unique approach to the supernatural provide a case study that enables the exploration of the interaction between the rise of experimental science and changing attitudes to witchcraft.

The pursuit of excellence in business and management doctorates demands a delicate interplay between the capacity to synthesize intricate evidence (the ant hill) while maintaining a panoramic outlook (helicopter view) and crafting theoretical abstractions. Herein lies the challenge--maintaining equilibrium in this duality. Business and Management Doctorates World-Wideexplores debates on the design and delivery of doctorates in business and management to support student employability and create impact. The book provides wide ranging international comparisons and reflections on the purpose and innovations in doctoral education offered by business schools today. Expert contributors analyze North and South American models, European doctorates, insights from the Arab World, doctoral provision in Australia and New Zealand, and ASEAN orientations. These global case studies incorporate explanations about the origins of existing systems and current drivers of behaviour, employment prospects for graduates, the opinions of different stake holders about the relevance of the programmes, and future emerging trends. Business and Management Doctorates World-Wideoffers detailed comparative analysis of current practices to highlight reasons for commonalities and differences in different parts of the world with suggestions about lessons shared in diverse contexts.
