First Published in 2004. The provision of effective career guidance has been presented as the answer to economic and social problems in young people, and has been seen by governments around the world as essential in ensuring economic competitiveness and prosperity. Policy discussions have centred on individuals' development of 'self-managed' careers within a global labour market, placing employability skills above all other concerns. This book goes beyond the rhetoric of careers guidance by exploring it from critical and radical standpoints. The contributors question the economic underpinning that has driven social inclusion agendas around the globe, arguing that career education and guidance needs to place greater emphasis on approaches that have a greater social awareness and within a global context. They discuss career guidance in consideration of a range of issues including social class, 'race' and gender and raise questions about the implications for policy and practice. Essential reading for students, researchers and academics and practitioners involved with careers education, this book will help the reader to improve their practice through a greater understanding of the theories and social and economic contexts involved

First published in 2005, this timely volume challenges those who see faith schools as contributing positively to the well-being of society and responding to parent choice to think through the implications of September 11 for our multi-ethnic and multi-faith society without taking a position on the ultimate necessity of faith schools. The authors conducted research in several faith-based schools representative both of older religious traditions in England and Wales, and of those which have been more recently established. The focus was on state-funded faith-based schools, but a range were visited to provide an overview of issues facing all faith-based schools, as well as those specific to newly funded institutions.

This 1999 book is about the kind of mathematics usually encountered in first year university courses. A key feature of the book is that this mathematics is explored in depth using the popular and powerful package MATLAB. The emphasis is on understanding and investigating the mathematics, and putting it into practice in a wide variety of modelling situations. In the process, the reader will gain some fluency with MATLAB, no starting knowledge of the package being assumed. The range of material is wide: matrices, whole numbers, complex numbers, geometry of curves and families of lines, data analysis, random numbers and simulations, and differential equations form the basic mathematics. This is applied to a large number of investigations and modelling problems, from sequences of real numbers to cafeteria queues, from card shuffling to models of fish growth. All extras to the standard MATLAB package are supplied on the World Wide Web.

Teenagers face an ever changing, difficult, and sometimes confusing path on their way to adulthood. There are so many possible missteps in life. And, adults do not always make sense or appear to be on their side. Knowing that most issues in life can be boiled-down to a few sentences... That we tend to overcomplicate or overlook answers... And that very many matters can be resolved by simply implementing 'the obvious'... TEENS IMPROVE YOUR LIFE - DON'T OVERLOOK THE OBVIOUS offers over 500 bottom-line pieces of advice. Part of the book's power is that it can be a lasting resource It recognizes that every teen and situation is unique. There is no 'one size fits all'. That what does not apply today, might make sense tomorrow. This book should be read by teens and adults

Plus, there is space for you to jot down your reactions, memories, or plans, based upon these important 'revelations'.

PREFATORY NOTE. The inception of this little work is due to the Presidential Address of Professor Bonney to the Geological Society in 1886. When that Address appeared it seemed to me that some of the leading ideas contained in it would admit of a fuller consideration from the chemical and physical side and in this I was happy to find that the author of the Address concurred. My first attempt to deal with them was in a paper which I hastily put together for the Birmingham Meeting 1886 of the British Association. I found however that even in its incipient stage the subject was too vast to be dealt with satisfactorily in a paper, and I had to content myself with a brief statement of some of the leading points, which appeared in the Associations Eeport for that year. In writing the Thesis on Bock-Metamorphism I was fully conscious of many imperfections in the treatment of some portions of the subject. It was especially so with parts of Sections ii and iii, which were written for the most part in 1886. As the other parts and the subsidiary matters contained in ii Appendix grew to considerable proportions, I found that with my daily work and the inroad which two other papers made upon my time in 1887, I was not able to re-cast Sections ii and iii as I could have wished to do, without risking the delay of another whole year in sending in the Thesis, and this for obvious reasons it would have been unwise to do. These matters were worked out more fully in a supplement, copies of which have been privately distributed along with the Thesis. The Thesis has been submitted to some of the highest authorities in this country and on the Continent and the friendly acknowledgements it has met with abroadhave been to me encouraging in the highest degree. The matter contained in the Supplement is now published at the suggestion of the University Examiners incorporated with the original Thesis, which has undergone careful revision, the alterations being however to a great extent merely verbal. Some few further additions have been made both to the body of the work and to the original appendices and these together with the matter contained in See Q.J.G.S. for May, 1888. the Supplement have been printed in smaller type. A little delay in the publication has enabled me to draw attention here and there to valuable contributions to petrology made by foreign geologists of eminence in the Etudes sur les Schistes Crystallins published by the International Geological Con- gress, which met in London, in September, 1888. It would not be possible, were I to attempt it, to express my indebtedness to Professor Hermann Credner of Leipzig, whose masterly and philosophical work, Elemente der Geologie, as it stands in the sixth edition, 1887, is still without a rival in our language, as a storehouse of geological facts and principles. It is some gratification to me to find my own conclusions on some of the more important points in connexion with the genesis of the crystalline rocks so thoroughly in accord with those of Thomas Macfarlane, Esq., F.E.S.C., the result in his case of very extensive experience both as a metallurgist and as a field-geologist...
