In The Conspiracy of the Text, first published in 1986, Jeff Adams
looks at an early stage in childhood to examine the ways in which
children create social organisation and moral order. Adams shows
how certain narratives, such as fairy tales, serve as a foundation
for this system, and does this through a fascinating linguistic
analysis of a young girl's reading of her favourite fairy tale,
Beauty and the Beast. This title will be of interest to students of
literary theory and linguistics.
The struggle to establish more democratic education pedagogies has
a long history in the politics of mainstream education. This book
argues for the significance of the creative arts in the
establishment of social justice in education, using examples drawn
from a selection of contemporary case studies including Japanese
applied drama, Palestinian teacher education and Room 13 children's
contemporary art. Jeff Adams and Allan Owens use their research in
practice to explore creativity conceptually, historically and
metaphorically within a variety of UK and international contexts,
which are analysed using political and social theories of
democratic and relational education. Each chapter discusses the
relationship between models of democratic creativity and the
cultural conditions in which they are practised, with a focus on
new critical pedagogies that have developed in response to
neoliberalism and marketization in education. The book is
structured throughout by the theories, practices and the ideals
that were once considered to be foundational for education:
democratic citizenship and a just society. Creativity and Democracy
in Education will be of key interest to postgraduate students,
researchers, and academics in the field of education, especially
those interested in the arts and creativity, democratic learning,
teacher education, cultural and organisational studies, and
political theories of education.

what they need to know to solve the homework and test problems
without a lot of unnecessary puffery. keeps students engaged with a
friendly and even occasionally humorous writing style, and droll
illustrations. handles common student misconceptions in difficult
topics by weaving them into the narrative. retains key textbook
elements that are truly useful, such as worked examples, summaries
and plenty of chapter-ending problems. priced affordably for your
students. This textbook is a ground-breaking iconoclast in this
market, answering a clear demand from physics instructors for a
clearer, shorter, more readable and less expensive introductory
textbook.

Buy bank-owned properties at fire-sale prices
Banks and lending institutions today own more than one million
foreclosed properties, more are in the foreclosure pipeline. Banks
desperately want to get these properties off their balance sheets,
but there aren't enough buyers. The result is a soft real estate
market with prices investors and homeowners may not see again in
their lifetime.
In recent years many bargain-hunting investors and homebuyers
made the mistake of trying to get foreclosure prices via short
sales and pre-foreclosure-- before the bank reclaimed the property.
They've been burned by endless delays and uncertainty of the messy
foreclosure process. With bank-owned properties, that's over. You
deal directly with a motivated seller--the bank--and get the
foreclosure price without the hassles and complexity of a short
sale or pre-foreclosure.
This book shows you how to negotiate the best possible terms
with the real estate owned (or REO) department of a bank or lender,
including step-by-step instructions and no-nonsense advice on
finding great deals, estimating fair market value, and closing the
deal. You don't need a ton of cash, because REO investing at
fire-sale prices is affordable for almost any investor or
homebuyer.Provides detailed, step-based guidance on buying REO
propertiesWritten by a super-successful REO investor with fifteen
years of experience
