"Written by veterans who have successfully made the transition, "Down Range" offers career planning guidance to U.S. military veterans coming off active duty. This is NOT simply a guide to transitioning from the military to the civilian world. This is NOT a guide to getting a job. This book IS a guide to developing a post-military career, not just for the first few days, weeks, or months after active duty, but for the rest of your employed life"--Provided by publisher.

"In Ethics in Educational Leadership Programs, Lynn Beck and Joseph Murphy examine the educational administration programs of 42 universities regarding their policies on ethical concerns for administrators." "The authors open with a discussion of the different philosophies of moral leadership, followed by a historical overview of research and of the ebb and flow of past interest in ethics in administration. Beck and Murphy then select 13 of the 42 universities and present an in-depth evaluation of their survey findings, describing and comparing the goals and objectives, themes, activities, and philosophies of the courses taught." "Ethics in Educational Leadership Programs is a unique book that argues resolutely for inquiry and for the acceptance of scientific approaches to the study of ethical issues in educational administration."--BOOK JACKET.
