      abstract = {This books offers new ways to think about teaching  excellence in higher education and presents a definition of  the concept of teaching excellence. It offers a fresh  interpretation of Boyers famous account of scholarship as  the foundation of university teaching. To fully understand  the nature of teaching excellence in higher education, the  book gives an account of the various dimensions of the  domain of university teaching and the core drivers required  to bring those domains to life. The idea of empowerment  underlies the journey to excellence in teaching. The book  argues that university lecturers aspiring to become  excellent should be active agents, strongly pursuing the  development of their perfectible abilities required for  high quality teaching. The work draws on recent  developments in virtue theory to set out the qualities of  character requisite for guiding and driving university  lecturers to grow and develop into excellent teachers.},
