Empowerment.

Since World War II, development projects have invested more than two trillion dollars towards health services, poverty alleviation, education, food security, and environmental initiatives around the world. Despite these efforts, 20% of the world still lives on less than $1.50 a day and the environment within which all live declines dramatically. There are clear limits to what further investments at this rate can achieve. This book advances the thesis that a more effective and universal foundation for social change and environmental restoration is not money, but human energy.

Educators are to implement best-practice curriculum and instruction that meet the needs of a diverse population and prepare students for an ever-changing global milieu. With the end of the bipolar Cold War order, followed by spiraling conflict since 9/11, the world faces an uncertain crossroads. In one direction, there are paths leading toward fragmentation. Bonded communities of ethnicity, nationalism, and culturally-bound knowledge reinforce boundaries and fears of unknown others.
