He had never obtained what he wanted from Men so he retired and lived as a hermit, alone at the top of a church tower. I will tell you about some of the visits I made to him and try to recall his words as best I can. Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.

Book Synopsis From Ivory Tower to Glass House by : Andrew Policano
Download or read book From Ivory Tower to Glass House written by Andrew Policano and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education is facing unprecedented stress. The combined effects of rising tuition, growing student debt and a challenging job market are raising serious concerns about the value of a college degree. At the same time, global competition and technological innovations are disrupting traditional educational models. Universities are under intense scrutiny as students, parents and legislators demand a more efficient, lower cost educational platform. No longer can universities expect to receive support with little accountability. Indeed, the insular ivory tower existence long cherished by universities is rapidly disappearing. This environment requires a radically different strategy, one that is guided by multifaceted leaders who not only understand academic culture but who also have a keen sense of business acumen. The purpose of this book is to both identify and analyze current challenges facing higher education and then to develop the requisite skill set for academic leaders to address them.Today's university requires leaders who not only understand and appreciate academic values, but who are also well versed in strategy, finance, human resources, external relations and fundraising. Some universities are looking outside academia to find leaders who possess the required background and experience. Faculty members strongly resist this external intervention but who among them is capable and willing to assume a leadership role? Most faculty members do not have the training, experience or even empathy to take on a leadership role, especially one confounded by the current mounting pressures. The discussion analyzes the tradeoffs facing a faculty member who is considering a leadership path and examines the strategies required to succeed in this rapidly changing environment.
