European larch (Larix decidua Miller) was introduced to North America in the mid-19th century. Its rapid growth led to its use as a reforestation species in northeastern North America during the early part of the 20th century. Proper site selection and vegetation management are crucial to the successful establishment and productivity of this species. On comparable sites, yields of European larch commonly exceed those of native species. Management practices and applied research for this species in North America include the refinement of 1) site selection criteria, 2) growth and yield tables, and 3) optimal density management and stocking levels, 4) product utilization and marketing, and 5) the advancement of tree improvement programs. Key words: growth and yield, productivity, silviculture, tree improvement

E Learning

The purpose of this chapter is to report the current trends, opportunities, and challenges of e-learning in academic institutions located in North America. A narrative review of the published studies that investigated e-learning is reported. Discussion and analysis of literature are themed according to the dimensions of e-learning reported in the “e-learning framework.” Annually there is an increase in the number of students enrolled in online courses in North America. E-learning offers many opportunities for self-motivated learners. Academic institutions have started updating their curriculums by employing more teaching-integrated technologies and e-learning into the learning pedagogy.

Current Trends

This article looks at the growing importance placed on activities to prepare school le- aders in correspondence to their central role for de-veloping and assuring the quality of schools and the ever-increasing responsibilities they are facing. In many countries, this has led to the design and implementation of extensive programs. In this paper, an overview of predominant approaches in use across Europe, Asia, Aus-tralasia, and North America is provided, and international trends in school leader development are identified. It becomes obvious that the aims of school leader development pro- grammes should be grounded on a more broadly defined understanding of leadership, adjusted to the core purpose of school, and based on educational beliefs integrating the values of a democratic society.

This review consists of a broad, uncritical survey of recent unpublished doctoral theses. Unlike previous years, where a mixture of British and non-British dissertations have been discussed, this year all the studies under consideration were completed at British universities, mostly in 1995. As before, the theses mentioned were chosen because of their focus on aspects of urban historical research, whilst the short descriptions are based on the abstracts published in the Aslib Index to Theses [ASLIB]. Urban history, or research with a strong urban bias, would appear to be in a healthy state in Britain and there was no shortage of studies to choose from, a total of thirty-nine receiving attention in this report. This focus on recent research in one country provides the opportunity to take stock and make some observations about current trends as well as allowing comparisons to be drawn with previous years where there is both continuity and evidence of change. To complement this focus on Britain, the next report will assess the state of urban history research outside the United Kingdom, and especially in North America.
