Assuring quality for teaching in a time of rapid change is the major challenge facing UK universities. This practical book combines review chapters with case studies within a number of comparative perspectives. The book is organized around three themes. First there are descriptions of approaches to quality assurance. These include case studies from universities of TQM and BS5750, course validation and review, student evaluation and institutional research, together with reviews of relevant approaches from industry and health care. Quality assurance based on professionalism is also considered. Secondly, the characteristics of quality teaching are addressed, including summaries of research evidence, the results of a participant study, standards generated by quality circles of staff and students and a description of distinguished teaching awards in the UK and USA. Thirdly, approaches to the development of university teachers are covered including teaching training, staff development, appraisal and the enterprise initiative.

The megalithic monuments of the world, including Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid, can be understood as maps of the Earth. While researching the metrology of the megalithic monuments of Britain and Egypt, the author made this important and previously unnoticed observation: these monuments are, in fact, maps! Many of these maps include within their structure the latitudes of specific topographical features on the surface of the vEarth. Some specific discoveries: • The Avebury Henge is a map of the Earth • Stonehenge is a map of Earth's orbit • The Great Pyramid is a map of the continents • The Imperial Measurement System is based on the Great Pyramid: the mile measures 1760 yards and the pyramid, 1760 cubits

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)
