A writer of popular science fiction stories, which bear little resemblance to reality, takes a trip to the moon on a space ship. But how will he cope with the tricks that the crew will play on him? Because every robot has the Three Laws of Robotics implanted in his brain, he is unable to harm a human being. How then can robots, who are vastly superior to humans in every respect, attain their goal of becoming masters of the universe? A man goes back in time to kill his grandfather? But how is it possible for him to do so when, at the time of the killing, his father has not yet been born? A robot, who has suffered a mental breakdown, is fond in a securely locked room with a dead man and the gun with which he has been killed. Can Inspector Bailey solve the mystery, knowing that he will be hounded from his job and finish up on the breadline by the all powerful Robots Inc if he comes to the conclusion that the robot committed the murder? These and eight other inventive science fiction are in this volume.

Creating a Study Abroad Programme

Creating a Study Abroad Programme

Gavin Lynch

Lulu.com
2014
nidottu
This book charts the path taken towards creating a meaningful study abroad programme, at Kanazawa Seiryo University, in Ishikawa, Japan. The choices and decisions taken on the way to creating the "European Spring Study Abroad Programme" for Spring 2014 are laid out, culminating in a English language study trip to Canterbury in the UK, and Cork in Ireland. The information given here will help to guide a wider range of programmes in the future. Aside from the "standard" language education, such programmes will include school, university and company visits, presentations to city officials, and even internships. This puts an onus on the students themselves to stand up and make themselves heard, rather than being passive tourists. The book shows the creation of a programme that does not just export Japanese students to English language courses abroad, but gets those students to become stakeholders in their own education ...a programme that gives learning a purpose.
