Do you love cats? Would like to read about what our three get up to when we moved to an old farmhouse in the country, then you will love this book. This is more Beatrix Potter than tales of the river bank. Frankie is an older cat. She is very set in her ways and certainly doesn't behave disrespectfully like these young kittens. It is her house and they will have to learn to respect her. Lola is a seven month old kitten who has loads of energy. She love running and jumping and, when there isn't anything else to do, she loves scaring Frankie. Lola is only five months old. She is a little...

What makes individual freedom valuable? People have always believed in freedom, have sought it, and have sometimes fought and died for it. The belief that it is something to be valued is widespread. But does this belief have a rational foundation?

This book examines answers to these questions that are based on the welfare of the person whose freedom is at stake. There are various conceptions of a worthwhile life, a life that is valuable for the person whose life it is. These conceptions will be examined to see whether they are plausible and what their connection, if any, is to...

I love Clive Cusslar and Lee Child books. I wanted to produce something that I would like to read as much as those. I think I have, but you will have to decide for yourself what you think. Having been in the armed forces and worked on Aircraft for a number of years I am able to bring all that I know into a book like this. Also having been involved in Aircraft Design for many years I have the ability to be able to bring all of my knowleage to this book.

This is my second Slick and Mav adventure. The pair head off to the Moon in this book and help a group of Miners set up a permanent base there. The guys continue to have adventures and mishaps in this fast paced book. There may even be some romance. See what Simon has helped them by creating with his scientific mind.

Sociological explanations of racism tend to concentrate on the structures and dynamics of modern life that facilitate discrimination and hierarchies of inequality. In doing so, they often fail to address why racial hatred arises (as opposed to how it arises) as well as to explain why it can be so visceral and explosive in character. Bringing together sociological perspectives with psychoanalytic concepts and tools, this text offers a clear, accessible and thought-provoking synthesis of varieties of theory, with the aim of clarifying the complex character of racism, discrimination and social...

How do different contexts influence the nature and character of school leadership?

This book is predicated on the simple, yet profound, observation that school leadership can only be understood within the context in which it is exercised. The observation is particularly valid in relation to post-conflict societies especially when they have eventuated from new-wars. Schools in these contexts face highly complex circumstances and a level of environmental turbulence requiring different kinds of leadership from those operating in less complicated and relatively stable situations.

Have you noticed how few jobs there are for young (and not so young) people these days? In some respects it is a shame, but if you look at it another way, it could be an amazing opportunity. We look for jobs in other people's business where there are none, but why don't we simply start our own business. Don't be out of work looking for a job, get yourself organised before you're out of work, or about to leave school before you start thinking about your future, get planning early. In this book I give you the history of working for yourself and working for others. Throughout history we actually...

Since the 1990s, the social sciences have begun to change. Traditional models of human rationality which opposed reason to passion are being challenged. The familiar split between individual and society, psychology and sociology, is now recognized as unhelpful to the study of both. And, as ways have been sought to overcome such splits, psychoanalysis has increasingly appeared in the breach.

Drawing also on some aspects of discourse psychology, continental philosophy and anthropological and neuro-scientific understandings of the emotions, psycho-social studies has emerged as an...

In the year 2000, the international community agreed to a framework to address global poverty. This framework, known as the Millennium Development Goals, was time-bound with an end date of 2015. With this end now in sight, the international community is focusing on the achievement of these goals. However, it is also very important that consideration now turns to what will follow the MDGs after 2015. Millennium Development Goals: Looking Beyond 2015 provides a critical analysis of the MDGs and discusses a range of issues that must be considered by the international community in determining...
