The Landscape of Industry is an integrated study which establishes a method for the analysis of complex industrial landscapes. Based on a study of the Ironbridge Gorge, the authors consider a range of material evidence, combining archaeological appraisal of the landscape with analysis of its characteristic settlement patterns and built forms. The authors consider the shifting relationship between landscape and industry. Industrialisation is itself shaped and constrained by the landscape in which it occurs, and the authors consider the interaction of environment and industry as the accumulation of an inheritance which in each generation influences the course and content of future development. The Landscape of Industry sets the agenda both for further study and for the integrated management of landscape resources.
Solid scriptural evidence and a close look at historical context
refute the traditional interpretation used to bar women from
leadership.
First published in 1995. Notions of 'inclusive schools' and
'schooling for diversity' are rapidly gaining currency across the
developed world as alternatives to traditional approaches to
special needs education. This book explores the advances in our
understanding of how schools can change and develop in order to
include a wider range of students. By bringing together some of the
foremost international writers and researchers in the field, it
makes available to policy makers, practitioners and researchers the
experiences from Australia, Europe, New Zealand, the UK and the
USA.
A thriving port, a frontier base for the lords of Gower and a
multi-cultural urban community, the south Wales town of Swansea was
an important centre in the Middle Ages, at a nexus of multiple
identities, cultural practices and configurations of power. As the
principal town of the Marcher lordship of Gower and seat of the
Marcher lord's rule, Swansea was a site of contested authority,
colonial control and complex interactions - and collisions -
between different cultures, languages and traditions. Swansea also
features in the miracle collection prepared for the canonisation of
Thomas Cantilupe, Bishop of Hereford (d. 1282), as the setting for
the intriguing case of the hanging and strange revival of the Welsh
rebel, William Cragh. Taking medieval Swansea and Wales as its
starting point, this volume brings into focus questions of place,
power, identity and belief, bringing together inter-disciplinary
perspectives which span History, Literary Studies and Geography /
Archaeology, and engaging with current debates in the fields of
medieval frontier studies, urban history, manuscript studies and
hagiography. This book was originally published as a special issue
of the Journal of Medieval History.

Following the publication of the House of Commons Education Select
Committee Report in 1999, the Department of Education and
Employment has set up a number of initiatives, including Excellence
in Cities, to address the problematic issues relating to provision
for gifted and talented pupils in primary and secondary schools.
This book rehearses and develops further the central idea put
forward by the authors in the first edition titled Educating Able
Children that teachers remain the essential resource to ensure
appropriate provision for gifted and talented pupils. They suggest
ways in which teachers may become an effective and efficient
resource; consider how teachers might take advantage of current
initiatives to facilitate their own professional development;
provide ideas at classroom, departmental and school level to
facilitate appropriate provision, and include a comprehensive and
up to date list of resources.

Written for practitioners from a variety of backgrounds, this text
is intended for teachers, residential staff and students who wish
to understand more about the education of children and young people
who are deafblind.
The field of special needs education is well established, and
although it continues to develop in exciting and controversial
ways, involving some of education's leading thinkers, many people
feel it is lacking a coherent theoretical analysis of its
own.
Students and practitioners, looking for some solid theory to
reinforce their own study or practice, commonly have to 'borrow'
from other disciplines, such as psychology and sociology, since
there has been no attempt to provide a theoretical foundation for
the special needs community. This book does exactly that, bringing
together contributions from key names in the field from UK and
beyond.
The book will establish itself as an essential text for students
and teachers, as well as all those involved in special needs across
the social sciences.

This ground breaking volume brings together contributions from
scholars across a range of disciplines (including literary studies,
history, geography and archaeology) to investigate questions of
space, place and identity in the medieval city. Using Chester as a
case study - with attention to its location on the border between
England and Wales, its rich multilingual culture and surviving
material fabric - the essays recover the experience and
understanding of the urban space by individuals and groups within
the medieval city, and offer new readings from the vantage-point of
twenty-first century disciplinary and theoretical perspectives.
Community Archaeology presents the results of an investigation of
wetland heritage in eastern Australia, with important contributions
to the archaeology of the Tasmanian Midlands and the New England
Tablelands. In this first substantial project in these bioregions
since 1991, OSL and radiocarbon dating at lagoon sites provided
dates going back to 8000 BP, significantly extending previous
information. In both regions a range of stone artefact scatters
were recorded adjacent to lagoons, suggesting associated ceremonial
activities. Across the regions, new OSL dates were obtained for
lunette formation. These were unexpectedly diverse, with OSL dates
not clustered around the Last Glacial Maximum at 20k. With sediment
particle sizes suggesting both wind and water deposition, quite
individual local lunette depositional histories not closely related
to global climates are indicated. The book also contributes to the
important global field of community engagement and education.
Unlike most projects where Aboriginal people are involved in
commercial archaeology, this project focussed on research.
Community Elders were research team partners during fieldwork and
training. Work-integrated -learning, at University and on-country
locations, proved very successful as a learning approach for young
participants.
