We live in the age of trans-, an era of pervasive mobility across linguistic, national, disciplinary, and institutional borders of teachers, students, scholars, and institutional programs. The contributors to Toward a Transnational University examine how approaches to postsecondary writing instruction travel and, in the process, transform the transnational and translingual character of universities worldwide. The chapters in this edited collection investigate, in multiple contexts around the world, the challenges, opportunities, and ambiguities that arise when mobility is taken as their foundation. Writing from a wide range of locations--including Bangladesh, Canada, China, Japan, Nepal, Qatar, and the United States--the contributors to Toward a Transnational University examine the friction points by which particular approaches to academic writing and its teaching are translated and interact with local cultures and concerns. Together, they show how institutions of higher education are engaging the mobility and fluidity of academic writing, its teaching, and its learning.

At only 10 days old, Toto the Kitten was found blown up into a tree following a devastating tornado which struck the small town of Brimfield, Massachusetts.

It's December 1979 and class 2G are getting ready for the school Nativity. Gemma wants to be Mary but because she's got a big loud voice she's the narrator, and anyway Sarah her best friend is far loads prettier than her, everyone says so. And as for Kirsty- she doesn't even get a look in, not that she cares, she's bothered about showing her knickers in the practical area. And of course there can only be one choice for Joseph, and that'd have to be Tony, everyone's favourite, complete with his thirteen colour biro. And Nicholas? In love with Sarah and dreams of flying through the milky way with her in the TARDIS? He's always going to be the Innkeeper. Nativity is about the play we've all been in. About tea towels on heads and coconut-shell donkey hooves. Dinner ladies and toilet roll angels, reading books and Blue Peter. It's about our six year old selves, the adults that shaped us, the dreams that lit our days- and the people we have become.

Toto the Tornado Kitten, written by Jonathan Hall and illustrated by Carol Ruzicka is a children's book based on the true survival story of Toto. Toto was a tiny survivor found in a tree in the aftermath of a devastating tornado that swept through Brimfield, Massachusetts on June 1,2011. Toto, who was adopted by Jonathan and his wife, has a story that will undoubtedly leave a smile on your face and warm your heart. 100% of the proceeds from "Toto's" book sales will be donated to the Animal Rescue League of Boston. Without the help of the ARL, Toto and the countless other animals they helped during the Tornado's aftermath would not have survived. The book will appeal to both children and adults alike, and provides a means for parents to discuss the effects of natural disasters on children and their environment.
