A unique collective portrait of the United Kingdom during the
national lockdown of 2020. Introduction by The Duchess of
Cambridge. Text by Lemn Sissay MBE. Sunday Times Bestseller. 'Every
bookcase should have this book' 'Beautifully heart-warming' and 'a
keepsake for years to come'. Focused on three key themes - Helpers
and Heroes, Your New Normal and Acts of Kindness, this book
presents a unique portrait of the UK during the 2020 lockdown,
through 100 community photographs. The net proceeds from the sale
of the book will be equally split to support the work of the
National Portrait Gallery and Mind, the mental health charity
(registered 219830) Spearheaded by The Duchess of Cambridge, Patron
of the National Portrait Gallery, Hold Still was an ambitious
community project to create a unique collective portrait of the UK
during lockdown. People of all ages were invited to submit a
photographic portrait, taken in a six-week period during May and
June 2020, focussed on three core themes - Helpers and Heroes, Your
New Normal and Acts of Kindness. From these, a panel of judges
selected 100 portraits, assessing the images on the emotions and
experiences they conveyed. Featured here in this publication, the
final 100 images present a unique and highly personal record of
this extraordinary period in our history of people of all ages from
across the nation. From virtual birthday parties, handmade rainbows
and community clapping to brave NHS staff, resilient keyworkers and
people dealing with illness, isolation and loss. The images convey
humour and grief, creativity and kindness, tragedy and hope -
expressing and exploring both our shared and individual
experiences. Presenting a true portrait of our nation in 2020, this
publication includes a foreword by The Duchess of Cambridge, each
image is accompanied by the story behind the picture told through
the words of the entrants, and further works show the nationwide
outdoor exhibition of Hold Still.
When northern Kenyans find elephant bones, they lay down blossoms
and branches as a mark of respect, honouring their crucial
connection with the wildlife they live alongside. In our changing
world, these values are vitally important. For decades, northern
Kenya was one step away from a warzone, on the frontlines of
climate change and habitat loss. People slept with their shoes on,
fearing attack. Wildlife was decimated. Yet, facing the most
extreme challenges, people united. What began as a last-ditch
effort to save rhinos from extinction sparked a remarkable return
of wildlife, with the once-struggling cattle ranch Lewa named a UN
World Heritage Site for its outstanding value to humanity. This
served as a catalyst for much broader action. Communities created a
network of protected lands across an area larger than Switzerland.
Through conservation, they built peace, driving social,
environmental and political change. From tracking elephants through
the bush to gun battles with bandits and treks through Al-Qaeda
territory, Peter Martell tells the exciting story of a conservation
movement that gives hope. At a time when humanity is reassessing
its broken relationship with nature, these communities offer an
inspirational blueprint, proving that environmental change does not
have to divide, but can bring us together.

In the mid-nineteenth century, a royal commission was appointed to
investigate 'the state, discipline, studies, and revenues' of
Cambridge University, and eventually recommended radical reforms.
As part of its brief, it gathered records that had been preserved
for centuries as the university evolved. Published in three volumes
in 1852 under the title Documents Relating to the University and
Colleges of Cambridge, the compilation, much of it in its original
Latin, charts the university's emergence as one of the world's
leading academic institutions and the challenges it faced along the
way. This material remains a valuable resource for historians of
British education and society. Volume 1 covers the period to the
mid-sixteenth century and contains, among other historical gems, an
abstract of records spanning nine monarchies, and an earlier
compilation ordered by Henry VIII in the 37th year of his reign.
This report of the influential Royal Commission was first published
in 1852. It resulted from a thorough inquiry 'into the State,
Discipline, Studies, and Revenues of the University and Colleges of
Cambridge' overseen by distinguished Victorian figures including
the Bishop of Chester, George Peacock, Sir John F. W. Herschel, Sir
John Romilly and Adam Sedgwick. It includes details relating to the
foundation and constitution of the University; employed positions,
from Chancellor to Senate members; academic degrees offered;
professorships and faculty boards; financial particulars, such as
tuition fees, fellowships, and revenues; and facilities, including
colleges, laboratories, museums, libraries, hostels and the
University Press. This comprehensive account of the material and
human assets of the University of Cambridge during the nineteenth
century sheds light on the educational reforms which were then
gathering pace. It will be of interest to social and economic
historians of the Victorian period, and of the university.

'Bowie, Cambo & All the Hype' traces the extraordinary and
pivotal friendship between David Bowie and drummer John Cambridge,
from the time when Bowie made his first major career breakthrough
in 1969 to his death from cancer in 2016. John 'Cambo' Cambridge
lived with Bowie at Haddon Hall when he had his first hit record
'Space Oddity' and toured with him in Junior's Eyes. He was there
when Bowie lost his father, passed his driving test and played his
first Glam Rock gig with Hype, even acting as best man when Bowie
married Angela Barnett in 1970. And if John had not persuaded his
former Rats colleague Mick Ronson to join Bowie in February 1970,
there might never have been a Ziggy Stardust or the stellar career
which followed. In this book we get a backstage pass to meet the
key people and witness the events of those crucial times in a
funny, moving, story of a unique friendship that survived the Hype.
A series of essays on mentoring issues in education, which includes
discussion of the political and historical aspects of mentoring,
the mentor-student relationship and the generic skills approach to

Madame Fi Fi's Farewell opens with some lively, affecting poems of
love and relationships in a variety of voices: an old man wistfully
regrets lost opportunities; Madame Fi Fi decides it is time,
somewhat ruefully, to hang up her whip; a lovelorn woman speaks of
her unsatisfactory night with a youth from Aruba; and, 'In the
Supermarket', a man and a woman encounter one another after a gap
of twenty years. The book also includes poems rooted in the
specific soils of Ayrshire and Orkney, where old country
characters, primary schoolchildren, and exasperated bus drivers
make their voices heard. This is a book of poems to read and
re-read, quietly to yourself or - as good poetry of any age
deserves - out loud.

This text provides an account of the relationship between
successive British governments and the profession of initial
teacher training since the 1960s. In the 1970s, the Robbins Report
led to the introduction of a curriculum which both structurally and
substantively represented the ideology of the day: social
democracy. More recent government initiatives have re-created
training in market image.; Currently, this relationship is seen as
one-sided, the government apparently dominating the curriculum
through a series of legislative measures. The author, however,
suggests that a long-term view of this relationship may reveal a
different picture - that the relationship is interactive and
beneficial to both sides, and can therefore be regarded as a
dialogue.
This work explores the many uses of autobiography, from historical
projects which are often about retrieval and reclamation of
previously hidden or misrepresented texts, to the contemporary
projects of claiming a voice, and the gathering of personal
testimony for educational and ideological purposes.;The volume
addresses uses such as life histories, adult learning and identity,
exploring issues of race, class and gender within these contexts.
Each contributor looks critically and politically at the ways in
which we use and might use autobiography and reveals how
autobiography is not just about a private life - it can tell us
much about our social and political position.
