A practical guide for subject leaders in secondary schools to help
them run their departments effectively and efficiently. It is
increasingly being acknowledged that subject leaders hold the key
to school improvement and professional development. However, there
is little information available for subject leaders to help them
with the day-to-day practicalities of running a department on top
of existing teaching commitments. This uniquely practical book
deals specifically with current issues faced by subject heads of
department (HoDs). Engagingly and entertainingly written, this book
covers the major areas of concern to subject leaders, including
leadership styles, managing staff, managing pupil performance,
strategic planning, curriculum development and coping with
problems.
We are at war. Human cultures are divided into two basic types, two
antagonistic forces, one based on symbolic exchange, which is dual
and reciprocal, and one based on money and sign exchange, which is
totalising. Non-western societies can create genuinely symbolic,
durable cultures. But the western world-system, based on a logic of
empire, is designed to create an integrated and sealed reality, to
snap tight around the world and its image. If the first is
indestructible and the second is irresistible, who can win and what
will victory look like? The answer may lie in the capacity for
violence in the world-system itself, threatening that system from
within with the purest of symbolic forms, the challenge of
resistance. The Intelligence of Evil or the Lucidity Pact is the
summation of Baudrillard's work over twenty years. It is the
essential analysis of the fundamental conflict of our time.
The end of the cold war politics and the fall of the Berlin wall
have had major ethical consequences. In the 90s Ethics have become
a rallying point for non-state actors and experts who gather around
values and norms in order to oblige institutions to justify their
behavior. This process is the result of different changes, the
transformation of the international system, the individualization
of Western societies and the growing importance of expertise in the
justification of decisions in risk adverse societies. Along with
the globalization of the economy and the formation of new political
coalitions, global ethics are the pillar of our era of
international 'turbulence'.

A major collection of essays and interviews from an iconic
20th-century philosopher in five volumes, now all available
together in paperback. Â Roland Barthes was a restless,
protean thinker. A constant innovator—often as a daring smuggler
of ideas from one discipline to another—he first gained an
audience with his pithy essays on mass culture and then went on to
produce some of the most suggestive and stimulating cultural
criticism of the late twentieth century, including Empire of Signs,
The Pleasure of the Text, and Camera Lucida. In 1976, this one-time
structuralist outsider was elected to a chair at France’s
preeminent Collège de France, where he chose to style himself as a
professor of literary semiology until his death in 1980. Â
The greater part of Barthes’s published writings has been
available to a French audience since 2002, but now, translator
Chris Turner presents a collection of essays, interviews, prefaces,
book reviews, and other journalistic material for the first time in
English and divided into five themed volumes. Volume three,
Masculine, Feminine, Neuter, consists of his writing on literature,
covering his peers and influences, writers in French and other
languages, contemporary and historical writers, and world
literature.Â

"Last Kingdom is a set of books that . . . is neither philosophical
argumentation nor little disparate, scholarly essays, nor
novelistic narrative; gradually, for me, all genres have fallen
away." So writes Pascal Quignard of his monumental book series,
Last Kingdom. In the latest volume, The Fount of Time, he focuses
on the paradoxically immediate presence in our lives of the
deepest, most distant past. He explores this subject through a
multitude of mediums: fragments of autobiography; curious
folktales; literary snippets; historical anecdotes both classical
and modern; ruminations on biology, archaeology, and linguistics.
Using all of these forms, he confronts dimensions of human
experience which, though customarily conveyed in legend, myth, and
dreams, run somehow beneath the everyday world and yet are part of
our most tangible reality. To enter Quignard's horizonless
time-space is to embrace a rich vision in which the totality of
human history and culture is placed disconcertingly on a single
footing. In The Fount of Time we are able to glimpse-whether
through obscure cultural detail or unusual anecdote-"another world
beneath the world."
