La Gestión de Proyectos es una actividad íntimamente ligada a la Dirección Empresarial con un componente de Arte y otro de Ciencia. La parte más artística viene dada por la propia característica de los proyectos que, por definición, son únicos, por lo que para su gestión el Director o Jefe de Proyectos ha de recurrir a su experiencia y su buen hacer, es decir, a su arte. Pero a su vez la Gestión de Proyectos es una ciencia que cuenta con más de 100 años a sus espaldas, desde la introducción por Henry Gantt de su popular técnica de representación del cronograma o con la introducción de la producción en cadena por otro Henry (Ford). Desde sus comienzos esta ciencia ha evolucionado hasta lo que es hoy en día, y desde entonces los Directores de Proyecto se han apoyado en diversos tipos de herramientas para la gestión de sus proyectos, siendo una de ellas Microsoft Project, de gran aceptación por el mercado. Microsoft Project es una herramienta concebida para asistir a los Directores de Proyectos en el desarrollo de planes de proyectos (cronogramas), el establecimiento de dependencias entre tareas, la asignación de recursos a las mismas, la gestión del presupuesto, la gestión de las cargas de trabajo y, con especial énfasis, en el seguimiento del progreso del proyecto, que aplica y se apoya en los procedimientos descritos en el PMBoK (Management Body of Knowledge) del Project Management Institute (PMI). ESIC ya ha publicado un cuaderno de documentación donde se describe la metodología y los procedimientos requeridos para la gestión de proyectos. El objetivo de este cuaderno de documentación que tiene en sus manos, que se complementa con el anterior si bien puede ser tratado como una unidad separada, es la aplicación práctica de estos procedimientos de Gestión de Proyectos apoyándonos en un caso práctico, que iremos elaborando poco a poco mediante sucesivas actividades que nos ayudarán a conocer los conceptos básicos del uso de MS Project en su versión 2010 paso por paso. El objeto final no es ser una guía exhaustiva y completa de MS Project; para eso nos apoyaremos en otros manuales existentes en el mercado, sino la elaboración gradual de un caso práctico mediante el cual el alumno no sólo conseguirá aprender los pasos y elementos básicos de MS Project, si no los conceptos de Gestión de Proyectos en los que se apoyan.Para ello los autores hemos elaborado un sencillo, pero completo, caso práctico apoyándonos en una de las actividades que realiza la escuela para los antiguos alumnos: la Feria de Empleo de ESIC. Este caso no deja de ser una simplificación de una realidad mucho más compleja pero servirá al alumno para comprender los fundamentos de la gestión de proyectos mediante MS Project, conceptos que esperamos les sirvan a los alumnos para la realización de sus proyectos de empresa, tanto dentro de la escuela, como al salir de la misma. INDICE: Fase de preparación del proyecto.- Fase de Planificación.- Fase de Seguimiento.- Fase de Cierre: Comunicación de resultados.- Consolidación de proyectos y creación del fondo de recursos.- Bibliografía.

Dennis Dalton's classic account of Gandhi's political and intellectual development focuses on the leader's two signal triumphs: the civil disobedience movement (or salt satyagraha) of 1930 and the Calcutta fast of 1947. Dalton clearly demonstrates how Gandhi's lifelong career in national politics gave him the opportunity to develop and refine his ideals. He then concludes with a comparison of Gandhi's methods and the strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing a fascinating juxtaposition that enriches the biography of all three figures and asserts Gandhi's relevance to the study of race and political leadership in America. Dalton situates Gandhi within the "clash of civilizations" debate, identifying the implications of his work on continuing nonviolent protests. He also extensively reviews Gandhian studies and adds a detailed chronology of events in Gandhi's life.

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

A new paradigm for supervising offenders in the community Environmental Corrections is an innovative guide filled with rich insights and strategies for probation and parole officers to effectively integrate offenders back into the community and reduce recidivism. Authors Lacey Schaefer, Francis T. Cullen, and John E. Eck move beyond traditional models for interventions and build directly on the applied focus of environmental criminology theories. Using this approach, the authors answer the question of what officers can do to decrease opportunities for an offender to commit a crime. Readers will learn how to recognize and assess specific criminal opportunities in an offender’s past and gain the tools and strategies they need to design an individualized supervision plan that channels offenders away from these criminogenic situations.

For information on the online course in Biological Wastewater Treatment from UNESCO-IHE, visit: http://www.iwapublishing.co.uk/books/biological-wastewater-treatment-online-course-principles-modeling-and-design Over the past twenty years, the knowledge and understanding of wastewater treatment have advanced extensively and moved away from empirically-based approaches to a first principles approach embracing chemistry, microbiology, physical and bioprocess engineering, and mathematics. Many of these advances have matured to the degree that they have been codified into mathematical models for simulation with computers. For a new generation of young scientists and engineers entering the wastewater treatment profession, the quantity, complexity and diversity of these new developments can be overwhelming, particularly in developing countries where access is not readily available to advanced level tertiary education courses in wastewater treatment. Biological Wastewater Treatment addresses this deficiency. It assembles and integrates the postgraduate course material of a dozen or so professors from research groups around the world that have made significant contributions to the advances in wastewater treatment. The book forms part of an internet-based curriculum in biological wastewater treatment which also includes: Summarized lecture handouts of the topics covered in book Filmed lectures by the author professors Tutorial exercises for students self-learning Upon completion of this curriculum the modern approach of modelling and simulation to wastewater treatment plant design and operation, be it activated sludge, biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal, secondary settling tanks or biofilm systems, can be embraced with deeper insight, advanced knowledge and greater confidence.

At the heart of the effort to enact and scale up successful school reforms is the need for more robust links between research and practice. One promising approach is design development, a methodology widely used in other fields and only recently adapted to education, which offers a disciplined process for identifying practical problems, assessing evidence of outcomes, accounting for variability in implementation and results, and establishing a foundation for broader understanding of the problem and proposed solutions. This exciting new book provides a practical guide for education leaders who are seeking to address issues of equity in their schools and want to pursue this approach. The book provides a step-by-step description of the process, augmented by case studies of four education leaders: Christine, a middle school principal who is concerned with the volume of disciplinary referrals in her school; Michelle, an elementary school principal who wants to address achievement gaps; Eric, an assistant superintendent who wants to improve the quality of principals’ instructional feedback to teachers; and Nora, a high school principal who is concerned about the use of racial and homophobic slurs in the hallways. The book follows each of these leaders as they formulate and refine interventions to address these problems. Design-Based School Improvement also includes a series of “excursions into theory” that discuss the research basis for design-based improvement. The author—a leading thinker about policy implementation and school reform—shows a profound appreciation for the complexity of work in schools and the deep and sustained thinking entailed in undertaking productive change. By bringing theory to life and putting it in the hands of skilled practitioners, this book promises to become an invaluable resource for education leaders seeking to solve problems of equity and social justice in schools.
