R. David Fulcher returns to the realm of the macabre, the strange and the fantastic with his new collection of short stories, The Cemetery of Hearts. Using his signature style of intense imagery and eerie atmosphere, he pens tales that take readers to an ancient planetoid, the pungent sewer, all-American small towns and a medieval city. Once again, his vivid characters leap from the stories into the minds of the readers as their tortured tales play out on the page.

First published in 1989, this book is about integrating or mainstreaming policies, looking specifically at how to improve circumstances for schoolchildren with disabilities or handicaps, and their teachers.

The author draws on her experiences, both within and outside the academic institution, to conceptualise and theorise policy, so as to place this policy in a political framework and locate it in a wider model of social life. This model is then used to disentangle the nature and effects of policy practices surrounding integration and mainstreaming, looking at practice in various...

In this comparative study, Fulcher reassesses existing theories of industrial conflict class organization, and State intervention, taking the history of industrial relations in Britain and Sweden as a case study. Using Barrington Moore's notion of "supressed historical alternatives," the author explores the origins of the organization and institutional differences between the two countries, finding unexpected and overlooked parallels in their histories; he analyses the attempts to establish corporatism in both countries, their eventual failure in Sweden as well as in Britain, and the ensuing...
