Böcker av Eugene P. Trani

Tells the intriguing story of Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and the context in which the university was forged and eventually thrived. Although VCU's history is necessarily unique, John Kneebone and Eugene Trani show how the issues shaping it are common to many urban institutions.

This book describes the innovative transformation of institutions of higher education (HEIs) across the world in response to the emerging realities of the twenty-first century global knowledge-based economy. It also describes how HEIs are defining many of today's economic realities on a regional level.

Trani demonstrates in this new study of the Portsmouth Conference which in 1906 brought an end to the Russo-Japanese war. Conscious of America's growing stature as a world power and concerned lest continued hostilities disrupt further the political and economic composition of East Asia, Roosevelt proclaimed himself peacemaker.
