Not just homes, schools, and other buildings but also lives must be reconstructed. Yet amid the horror there is also the opportunity to build back better, to create more resilient buildings and deeper human connections. After Haiti's 2010 earthquake, architect Paul E. Fallon wanted to help rebuild the magic island he had visited the previous summer. Over the next three years, he made seventeen trips to design and supervise construction of an orphanage and a school in Grand Goâve. In the process, he confronted the challenges of building in a country with sparse materials and with laborers predisposed toward magic over physics. Architecture by Moonlight is about much more than construction, however. Readers will also experience the many relationships Fallon developed as he balanced the contradictory demands of a boisterous American family constructing a memorial for their deceased daughter and Evangelical missionaries more interested in saving souls than filling bellies. Dieunison, a wily Haitian orphan, captured Fallon's heart and exemplifies both Haiti's tragedy and its indomitable spirit. Fallon's personal experience is an eloquent tale of "an ensemble of incomplete people struggling in a land of great trial and great promise, trying to better understand their place on Earth." He reveals how, when seemingly different people come together, we succeed by seeking our commonality. Architecture by Moonlight illustrates our strength to rise above disaster and celebrate recovery, perseverance, and humanity.Haiti Earthquake, Haiti, 2010HaitiHaiti Earthquake, Haiti, 2010.972.94073Fallon Paul E.1666889Hill Mindy BasingerMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807455403321Architecture by moonlight4026393UNINA04466oam 22006494a 450 991052490400332120250709222715.097819283310701928331076(CKB)3710000000570225(EBL)4335201(SSID)ssj0001619497(PQKBManifestationID)16349593(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001619497(PQKBWorkID)14922670(PQKB)10956185(OCoLC)937354639(MdBmJHUP)muse52199(Au-PeEL)EBL4335201(CaPaEBR)ebr11150060(CaONFJC)MIL888092(OCoLC)935272347(PPN)193663716(ScCtBLL)06ffe59f-ba61-443d-913c-0317a5d84162(FRCYB88831806)88831806(FR-PaCSA)88831806(MiAaPQ)EBC4335201(EXLCZ)99371000000057022520160204e20162015 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDoctoral education in South Africa policy, discourse and data /Nico Cloete, Johann Mouton and Charles Sheppard1st ed.Baltimore, Maryland :Project Muse,2016©20161 online resource (xii, 283 pages) illustrationsDescription based upon print version of record.9781928331001 1928331009 Includes bibliographical references (pages 272-283).Preface -- 1.

Scenarios that will produce doctoral graduates by 2030.Worldwide, in Africa and in South Africa, the importance of the doctorate has increased disproportionately in relation to its share of the overall graduate output over the past decade. This heightened attention has not only been concerned with the traditional role of the PhD, namely the provision of future academics; rather, it has focused on the increasingly important role that higher education - and, particularly, high-level skills - is perceived to play in national development and the knowledge economy. This book is unique in the area of research into doctoral studies because it draws on a large number of studies conducted by the Centre of Higher Education Trust (CHET) and the Centre for Research on Evaluation, Science and Technology (CREST), as well as on studies from the rest of Africa and the world. In addition to the historical studies, new quantitative and qualitative research was undertaken to produce the evidence base for the analyses presented in the book. The findings presented in Doctoral Education in South Africa pose anew at least six tough policy questions that the country has struggled with since 1994, and continues to struggle with, if it wishes to gear up the system to meet the target of 5 000 new doctorates a year by 2030. Discourses framed around the single imperatives of growth, efficiency, transformation or quality will not, however, generate the kind of policy discourses required to resolve these tough policy questions effectively. What is needed is a change in approach that accommodates multiple imperatives and allows for these to be addressed simultaneously.Education, HigherSouth AfricaEducation, Higher378.68Cloete Nico803359Sheppard C.
