From Durham to Tehran presents a Persian literature specialist's
impressions and reflections on his field of study and profession,
based on two research trips, one to Durham, England in 1986 and the
other to Tehran, Iran in 1989. With a format of travel diary
entries, the book intends to suggest issues which American students
of non-Western literary cultures face in their professional lives.
It highlights ambiguities which characterise the situations and
experiences of American students of living non-Western literatures.
Moreover, it suggests that involvement in an older non-Western
literary culture impels the American to reflection on his or her
own roots and cultural history. It includes memories of many
notable literary figures including Jalal Al-e Ahmad, Ali Shariati
and Sadeq Chubak.
Powerful drama about loyalties and the industrial workplace in
early 60s Britain. Factory worker Tom Arnold (Richard Attenborough)
does not share the same feelings as his fellow workers in a
developing industrial dispute and refuses to go on strike with
them. This results in him being 'sent to Coventry' by all
concerned, including his best friend Joe Wallace (Michael Craig).
The newspapers soon hear about this and the story becomes a matter
of national concern, with many different parties trying to use
Tom's stance to their own ends.

As one of the key figures in the first generation of British
conceptual artists and a crucial force behind many of the Young
British Artists, Michael Craig-Martin has dedicated a career to
complicating the practice and reception of drawing. Often
considered the 'high priest of the everyday', he is engaged with
the methodical exploration of those objects and design classics
that are so often taken for granted: the tap, the clothes hanger,
the petrol pump, the Anglepoise lamp. For Craig-Martin, those
objects that we value least, simply for their ubiquity, are often
the most extraordinary. His is a world of revelation.
The longest 'Doctor Who' story ever. The Doctor (Colin Baker) is
put on trial by his people the Time Lords for interference in the
affairs of others; three segments of his past and future are
presented as evidence. 'The Mysterious Planet' shows the Doctor and
Peri (Nicola Bryant) in a battle with a megalomaniac machine on the
planet Ravalox, but what are the mysterious 'secrets' it protects?
'Mindwarp' shows the Doctor apparently betraying Peri to the vile
Sil (Nabil Shaban) and the Mentors - can the Matrix be falsifying
the evidence against the Doctor? In his defence he presents 'Terror
of the Vervoids', a future story where the Earth is threatened by
evil plant life forms. In the final two episodes, 'The Ultimate
Foe', the Doctor learns the truth about his prosecuting counsel,
the Valeyard (Michael Jayston), and has to enter the Matrix to
battle for his remaining lives. This was Colin Baker's last story
as the Doctor.

Matthew Cannon was an American doctor drawn to a remote corner of
the world - Kalibuwila Hospital in Sri Lanka - in search of a cure
for persistent migraine headaches that dogged him since the sudden
death of his first wife. He found a German monk in the mountains
who offered to provide this cure. What he didn't know, however, was
the world he would have to enter to accept the cure . . . a place
in the mind and soul he could never have imagined . . .
*********************** "But how can you cure my headaches?" I
inquired. Pachili's answer came softly, as if by telepathy . . . a
whisper in the wind . . . *********************** "Every time you
pass fear, a kind of death happens," he said at the end of my
tantrum. "then freedom. Feelings of death, then a deep relaxation.
All restriction leads to freedom. This is the way of Chi . . .
crossing points into awakening . . . the Zone. You feel it?" "Yes,
but . . . Is it dangerous?" "Yes, usually. Life can be a dangerous
game . . . *********************** The Remedies of Pachili contains
all the elements of a good story that draw you in from the first
page. This attraction, however, is merely a pretext to capture and
transform the reader by the mere reading of it. Love, anger, fear,
disease, life, death, appearance, and transformation - all take on
gut-wrenching qualities throughout this book that speak to the Soul
and guide the Spirit. You know the story already. Intimately. Your
mind, however, will want to make sense of it all, but find gaps in
the process. Just enjoy the discovery of Pachili's Remedies. The
ride is the thing . . .

journey to Ogasawara for several days. This book is an account of
our voyage to this island in the Pacific Ocean.

The new edition of Cops, Teachers, Counselors furthers the
exploration of forces that shape the contours of frontline work.
This line of inquiry is at the heart of street-level bureaucracy
research, a field of study cutting across disciplines, including
public administration, political science, social work, law and
society, education, and criminal justice. The oft-cited 2003
edition pioneered a qualitative method of inquiry using workers'
own voices and storytelling about fairness in the delivery of
services. This NSF-supported field research reveals the ways
workers engage in moral judgments, more than implementing laws and
policies, to account for their decisions and actions. The new
edition wraps an expanded framing around the original chapters,
while maintaining a lively, approachable presentation style. It
takes on a more enriched perspective of legality than the original,
while retaining a focus on frontline work as a powerful source of
cultural ordering. In addition to examining workers' stories of
encounters, attention is given to the agency of the governed during
interactional moments, the power dynamics in play during both
interpersonal and group encounters, and patterns of practice that
converge across distinctive service domains. The original edition
describes two narratives that shape frontline workers' decisional
judgments and the interplay between legality and morality: the
state-agent and citizen-agent narratives. This edition adds the
knowledge-agent narrative that stresses the importance of
professional and field learning to decisional judgments. The book
examines routine encounters of cops, teachers, and counselors with
diverse publics when questions of justice and fairness are at play.
This new edition speaks to contemporary issues at a time when
frontline workers gained broad recognition for their heroic
contributions to communities during the Covid 19 pandemic, as well
as sustained condemnation for their embodiment of the brutal
expression of racialized state power in police actions. The authors
conclude with a focus on the significance of place and trust in
building social inclusion on the frontlines of public service.
