This timely book offers a critically important contribution to
debates around the meeting place of religious and secular
worldviews in education. Edited by five leading figures in the
field, and drawing on expert international scholarship and
research, the book provides cutting-edge analysis that bridges the
religious and secular in global educational contexts. Considering
the role of the United Nations, UNESCO, OECD and PISA in varied
international contexts, the book draws on critical analysis of
primary empirical research and secondary critique to offer a
coherent blend of theoretically complex yet practical analysis of
policy implementation. Throughout this accessible and logically
structured volume, the authors assert that the meeting place of
religious and secular worldviews is one of the most important and
pressing issues for religion in education. As a field-defining work
of research into education, religion and worldviews, the book will
be essential reading for scholars, researchers and postgraduate
students in the fields of religious education, religious studies,
philosophy of education and international education.

Spanish Americans of the early 19th century were eager to institute
self-government and open their ports to foreign commerce. During
the years 1810-14 two men of outstanding ability appeared in the
front ranks of the Republican cause: Simon Bolivar, the greatest of
all South American soldiers, and Jose de San Martin. These two men
would achieve the destruction of the southern Spanish American
empire as they fought to establish nations shaped and governed 'by
Americans, for Americans'. This book details their military
campaigns to free South America from the grip of Imperial Spain,
including descriptions of their equipment, uniforms, weaponry and
enemies.
A Tortuous path is a contemporary drama about a group of people who
set up a charity to raise money for a hospice. Their organising
committee is infiltrated by a terrorist, but they do not suspect
this till much later when tragedy occurs. Everyday life is woven
through the novel with developing relationships, social gatherings,
weddings and funerals. David, the main protagonist, ponders on what
makes a marriage, the role of Christianity in people's lives, and
class differences. He also experiences hospices at first hand when
his father dies in a hospice in Scotland. David is the hospital's
popular administrator but is divorced and lonely. He gets involved
by chance with the hospice group which includes his friend Kim, the
hospital's senior oncology nurse; Jamal Khan, a junior consultant
at the hospital; and his American friend, Al Mercer. Also involved
are four other members of the hospital staff. The appeal progresses
with recruitment of new committee members, meetings and fund
raising activities. But from the outset there are curious incidents
and encounters which puzzle David. This is a thrilling book that
grips the attention until the final close.
Excavations on the site of this remarkable fort in northern
Bulgaria (1996-2005) formed part of a long-term programme of
excavation and intensive field survey, aimed at tracing the
economic as well as physical changes which mark the transition from
the Roman Empire to the Middle Ages, a programme which commenced
with the excavation and full publication of the early Byzantine
fortress/city of Nicopolis ad Istrum. The analysis of well-dated
finds and their full publication provides a unique data-base for
the late Roman period in the Balkans; they include metal-work,
pottery (local and imported fine ware), glass, copper alloy finds,
inscriptions and dipinti (on amphorae) as well as quantified
environmental reports on animal, birds and fish with specialist
reports on the archaeobotanical material, glass analysis and
querns. The report also details the results of site-specific
intensive survey, a new method developed for use in the rich
farmland of the central Balkans. In addition, there is a tailed
report on a most remarkable and well-preserved aqueduct which
employed the largest siphon ever discovered in the Roman Empire.
This publication will provide a substantial database of material
and environmental finds, an invaluable resource for the region and
for the Roman Empire: material invaluable for studies which seek to
place the late Roman urban and military identity within its
regional and extra-regional economic setting.
