'The political memoir of the decade' Sunday Times The #1 Sunday
Times Bestseller What was it like to lead the Conservative Party
back to power and form a coalition government? How does a Prime
Minister turn around an economy, handle a migration crisis and
respond to a rapidly changing Europe? Why call a referendum on
Britain's EU membership? David Cameron answers these questions and
more with a candour that extends beyond the events he faced to the
people he encountered and, fascinatingly, to the things he got
right and wrong. He talks too about what has happened in the four
years since that momentous vote in what is the frankest insight yet
into the inner workings of politics and the mind of one man who was
at the heart of it.
This edition collection showcases the increasing intersections
between drama and applied theatre, education, innovation and
technology. It tunes in to the continuing conversation that has
been a persistent if not prominent feature of our drama education

chapters in this book consider how technology can be used as a
potent tool in drama learning and how the learning is changing the
technologies and in turn how learning is transforming the
technology. This collection includes contributions from leading
scholars in the field on a range of topics including digital
storytelling and identity formation, applied drama and
micro-blogging and the use of Second Life in drama learning. The
chapters provide a potent collection for researchers and educators
considering the role of technology in drama education spaces. This
book was originally published as a special issue of RiDE: The
Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance.

Popov - dies from a blow to the head precisely a decade after
Slobodan Milosevic said to fellow Serbs at a rally: 'No one will
ever hit you again.' Poet and newspaper columnist Jude Oswald
chances upon the crime scene reconstruction near his Edinburgh
home. When he uses his column to accuse the Professor of Alice's
murder, his already troubled life goes into freefall.

Walking turn-of-the-century Amsterdam with her loyal dog Bibi,
Femke is many things: a drifter who spends much of her time in a
drug-ridden park; a daughter of the colonial Dutch; a magnetic
personality prone to petit mal seizures and destructive
relationships; a liar. This is her story. After being drawn into
the unsettling world of a British filmmaker and his wife, she meets
and befriends an ageing poet, Michiel de Koning, and tries to nurse
him back to health. As their friendship develops, De Koning's
mysterious past - involving the poet and murderer Gerrit Achterberg
- leads Femke on a journey to discover the identity of De Koning's
great love and inspiration, 'M'. This pursuit of the truth reveals
the uncertainties of her own past in a world of unreliable
listeners. Written with a clear poetic sensibility and strong
echoes of European Modernism, Femke is a celebration of the stories
we tell ourselves and one another, the elusiveness of our fleeting
connections, and the complex power dynamics between poet and muse.
Just who does David Cameron think he is? In an engaging series of
landmark interviews that will define the would-be prime minister
ahead of the next election, Dylan Jones finds out. David Cameron is
asking you for the keys to Number 10 - but is he a smartly dressed
smoothie with all the right lines, or a gifted politician who
instinctively understands the country's priorities? A throwback to
the age when privilege brought power, or a dynamic alternative to a
Labour Party that has run out of ideas? Award-winning journalist
Dylan Jones set out to answer these questions in a series of
wide-ranging and candid interviews that will define David Cameron
ahead of the next election - and for years to come. A book about a
politician for people who don't buy books about politicians,
'Cameron on Cameron' will, for many, settle the question of whether
David Cameron has got what it takes to lead the country. What
Cameron thinks may soon become what Britain does - and Jones teases
out the details of Cameron's positions on the big issues. From the
Iraq war to our friendship with America, from education to
immigration, 'Cameron on Cameron' will make for an unprecendented
view into a politician's world and a document of practical use in
our democracy. From the Conservative Party's bouts of vicious
internal backstabbing to Cameron's marriage to Samantha and their
family life - 'Cameron on Cameron' lays bare the forces which shape
the man who may succeed Gordon Brown before the decade is out.
Drama and Digital Arts Cultures is a critical guide to the new
forms of playful exploration, co-creativity, and improvised
performance made possible by digital networked media. Drawing on
examples from games, education, online media, technology-enabled
performance and the creative industries, the book uses the elements
of applied drama to frame our understanding of digital cultures.
Exploring the connected real-world and virtual spaces where young
people are making and sharing digital content, it draws attention
to the fundamental applied drama conventions that infuse and
activate this networked culture. Challenging descriptions of drama
and digital technology as binary opposites, the book maps common
principles and practice grounded in role, embodiment, performance,
play, and identity that are being amplified and enhanced by the
affordances of online media. Drama and Digital Arts Cultures draws
together extensive original research including interviews with game
designers, media producers, educators, artists and makers at the
heart of these new digital cultures. Young people discuss their own
creative practices and products, providing insight into a complex
and evolving world being transformed by digital technologies. A
practical guide to the field, it contains case studies and examples
of the intersections of drama conventions and networked cultures
drawn from the US, Canada, UK, Netherlands, Singapore and
Australia. Written for scholars, educators, students and 'makers'
everywhere, Drama and Digital Arts Cultures provides a clear
understanding of how young people are blending creativity and
learning with the powerful and empowering conventions of drama to
create new forms of multimodal and transmedia storytelling.

This PhD thesis explores how those involved in the Teach First
mentoring process - trainees, mentors and university tutors -
perceive that process and their role within it. It presents a new
framework for understanding the mentoring process in ITT, based on
a 'triad' of key players. It also reveals how the distinctiveness
of the Teach First programme can be attenuated by the school-based
mentoring process, and considers the implications of these findings
for all those involved in ITT, including system leaders, policy
makers and Teach First itself. "This study...will make a valuable
contribution to our understanding of the process of mentoring -
particularly in the context of Teach First." - Professor Ian
Menter, President of the British Education Research Association
