The last quarter of the twentieth century was a very important
period in history of education. Beginning with the so-called 'Great
Debate', the period witnessed intense public and political interest
in educational issues, culminating in an almost unprecedented
amount of education-related legislation, the most symbolic of which
was the Education Reform Act of 1988. Some scholars have rightly
claimed that the education system was 'transformed' during this
period, pointing to major changes in the ways in which schools,
further education colleges and universities were organised, managed
and controlled. Others have claimed that these changes altered the
power relationships which had underpinned the education system
since 1944. Given the sheer scale and pace of the education-policy
related reforms of this period, this edited collection brings
together some of the leading scholars in education to reflect on
the major legislative and structural changes in education over the
past few decades. Published in the year of the twenty-fifth
anniversary of Callaghan's Ruskin College speech in 1976, it
provides a definitive contemporary history of education policy in
the late twentieth century. The editors bring together some of the
leading educationalists to reflect on the major legislative and
structural changes in the field over the last twenty five years.
The book will be of use to education students on undergraduate and
postgraduate courses, as well as students and academics working in
social policy.
Written by a range of history professionals, including HMIs, this
book provides excellent ideas on the teaching, learning and
organization of history in primary and secondary schools.

The authors trace the development of one of the most well-known
directors of the New German Cinema that flourished in the 1970s and
early 1980s. Examining Wim Wenders' career from his early film
school productions through his mature works of the 1970s, this book
also analyses the most recent works, as well as the themes and
preoccupations that unite his oeuvre. As the authors note, Wenders'
works have been profoundly influenced by American films, especially
the 'road movie' genre. His own work often features characters who
are always on the move, in an attempt to capture a glimpse of their
identity and place in the world. They also represent a generation
of postwar Germans seeking to redeem themselves and the history of
their country by turning to American popular culture, particularly
its music and movies.

We have grown accustomed to two beliefs: the first, that only
experts can be designers; the second, that our everyday activities
are harming the natural world. Yet, with new platforms, digital
communication and engaged online communities, the products we can
now design - and truly need - can be made by anyone for social and
environmental good. Social design can see that primary school
children learn to code, and uses local information in off-grid
locations to create global change. Open-source design is enabling
us to re-make our world right now. Structured into eight areas of
application, from healthcare to education, this book showcases over
sixty projects - not the kind you see in glossy magazines or
online, but the ones that have made a genuine difference to
communities and lives around the world. Rather than being
client-driven, as commercial design often is, each project here is
the result of designers who reach out, communities who get involved
and the technologies that helping people to realize ideas together.
From a playground-powered water pump in South Africa to a DIY
budget cellphone, each of these groundbreaking projects is
presented through fascinating and life-affirming stories, diagrams
that reveal the mechanisms and motivations behind each design
approach, and photography that celebrates the humanity of the
endeavour.
