Saviour of the world.
Recent revelations, by Edward Snowden and others, of the vast
network of government spying enabled by modern technology have
raised major concerns both in the European Union and the United
States on how to protect privacy in the face of increasing
governmental surveillance. This book brings together some of the
leading experts in the fields of constitutional law, criminal law
and human rights from the US and the EU to examine the protection
of privacy in the digital era, as well as the challenges that
counter-terrorism cooperation between governments pose to human
rights. It examines the state of privacy protections on both sides
of the Atlantic, the best mechanisms for preserving privacy, and
whether the EU and the US should develop joint transnational
mechanisms to protect privacy on a reciprocal basis. As technology
enables governments to know more and more about their citizens, and
about the citizens of other nations, this volume offers critical
perspectives on how best to respond to one of the most challenging
developments of the twenty-first century.

This volume has been brought together to generate new ideas and
provoke discussion about what constitutes arts education in the
twenty-first century, both within the institution and beyond. Art,
Artists and Pedagogy is intended for educators who teach the arts
from early childhood to tertiary level, artists working in the
community, or those studying arts in education from undergraduate
to Masters or PhD level. From the outset, this book is not only
about arts in practice but also about what distinguishes the 'arts'
in education. Exploring two different philosophies of education,
the book asks what the purpose of the arts is in education in the
twenty-first century. With specific reference to the work of Gert
Biesta, questions are asked as to the relation of the arts to the
world and what kind of society we may wish to envisage. The second
philosophical set of ideas comes from Deleuze and Guattari, looking
in more depth at how we configure art, the artist and the role
played by the state and global capital in deciding on what art
education has become. This book provides educators with new ways to
engage with arts, focusing specifically on art, music, dance, drama
and film studies. At a time when many teachers are looking for a
means to re-assert the role of the arts in education this text
provides many answers with reference to case studies and in-depth
arguments from some of the world's leading academics in the arts,
philosophy and education.
Learning with YOUR purpose in mind -- not your parents', not your teacher's, not your school's Every day, your school, your teachers, and even your peers draw lines to measure and standardize intelligence. They decide what criteria make one person smart and another person stupid. They decide who will succeed and who will just get by. Perhaps you find yourself outside the norm, because you learn differently -- but, unlike your classmates, you have no system in place that consistently supports your ability and desire to learn. Simply put, you are considered lazy and stupid. You are expected to fail. Learning Outside the Lines is written by two such "academic failures" -- that is, two academic failures who graduated from Brown University at the top of their class. Jonathan Mooney and David Cole teach you how to take control of your education and find true success -- and they offer all the reasons why you should persevere. Witty, bold, and disarmingly honest, Learning Outside the Lines takes you on a journey toward personal empowerment and profound educational change, proving once again that rules sometimes need to be broken.
Virtually every nation has had to confront tensions between the
rule-of-law demands for transparency and accountability and the
need for confidentiality with respect to terrorism and national
security. This book provides a global and comparative overview of
the implications of governmental secrecy in a variety of contexts.
Expert contributors from around the world discuss the dilemmas
posed by the necessity for - and evils of - secrecy, and assess
constitutional mechanisms for checking the abuse of secrecy by
national and international institutions in the field of
counter-terrorism. In recent years, nations have relied on secret
evidence to detain suspected terrorists and freeze their assets,
have barred lawsuits alleging human rights violations by invoking
'state secrets', and have implemented secret surveillance and
targeted killing programs. The book begins by addressing the issue
of secrecy at the institutional level, examining the role of courts
and legislatures in regulating the use of secrecy claims by the
executive branch of government. From there, the focus shifts to the
three most vital areas of anti-terrorism law: preventive detention,
criminal trials and administrative measures (notably, targeted
economic sanctions). The contributors explore how assertions of
secrecy and national security in each of these areas affect the
functioning of the legal system and the application of procedural
justice and fairness. Students, professors and researchers
interested in constitutional law, international law, comparative
law and issues of terrorism and security will find this an
invaluable addition to the literature. Judges, lawyers and
policymakers will also find much of use in this critical volume.

Leading in the Age of Innovations centres on the need for a more
complex process-relational oriented approach to leadership. The
complexity of leadership has grown significantly during the 21st
century where the need to adapt to the escalating changes in our
society and workplace forms one of the most important prerequisites
to succeed. Leading in the Age of Innovations represents the
outcomes of the lengthy scientific work that was undertaken for the
past 10 years and it is still an ongoing process. This book
introduces a new concept of leadership based on the process and
relational dimensions which resulted in the development of the
Reflective Leadership concept. The new model of leadership provides
a unique concept on how to bring together various disciplines and
explains the overlapping relations between them. Moreover, the
proposed view on leadership reflects the current evolution around
the globe highlighting the importance of change and innovation. In
organizations, too much focus is on the end product and the
technical details of how a product is made and distributed. Less
attention is focused on how people interact, and how the human
capacity is effectively supported by leaders who, on the other
hand, are expected to support a culture of innovation. This
behavioural interaction is governed by a set of predictable values
and norms. These relationships need to be understood for an
organization to prosper and is thus far more important to the
leadership process. Leading in the Age of Innovations seeks to
establish this understanding and will be key reading to
researchers, scholars and practitioners alike in the field of
leadership, organizational studies and related disciplines.

Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, the tension between civil
rights and public safety has dominated public discourse. On issues
ranging from racial profiling to military tribunals, Americans have
had to ask whether it is possible for the United States to defend
itself against terrorism without violating the values and
principles that lie at the heart of its democratic order. In Rights
vs. Public Safety after 9/11, some of the nation's leading legal
experts and social critics confront this question head-on. The
contributors offer measured, often communitarian, approaches to
topics such as the changes in United States immigration policy
after September 11th, the practical and moral difficulties of
racial profiling, the ethical dilemmas of an emergency response to
a bioterrorist attack, and the role of the government in promoting
national service. This balanced compilation of essays highlights
where government will need to expand its authority in the fight
against terrorism, where it risks overreaching, and how this new
era might strengthen American society.
In Words for the Theatre, playwright David Cole pursues a course of
dramaturgical self-questioning on the part of a playwright, centred
on the act of playwriting. The book's four essays each offer a
dramaturgical perspective on a different aspect of the playwright's
practice: How does the playwright juggle the transcriptive and
prescriptive aspects of their activity? Does the ultimate
performance of a playtext in fact represent something to which all
writing aspires? Does the playwright's process of withdrawing to
create their text echo a similar process in the theatre more
widely? Finally, how can the playwright counter theatre's pervasive
leaning towards the 'mistake' of realism? Suited to playwrights,
teachers, and higher-level students, this volume of essays offers
reflections on the questions that confront every playwright, from
an author well-versed in supplying words for the theatre.
One hundred years after the Azusa Street Revival stunned Los
Angeles and changed Western Christianity, Pentecostalism has become
the fastest growing religious movement in the world. However, many
Pentecostal denominations in the United States are in a slow
decline. Will Pentecostalism survive in North America in the
twenty-first century? If so, what forms will it take? The Future of
Pentecostalism in the United States brings together leading
scholars of charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity to discuss and
forecast these issues. The book looks at American Pentecostalism
from a variety of disciplinary perspectives including sociology,
theology, history, and the arts. The book also considers various
traditions and sub-movements within U.S. Pentecostalism, such as
African American Pentecostal and charismatic Latino churches, urban
postmodern charismatic congregations, and the role of Pentecostal
institutions of higher education.

The key to good primary teaching of numeracy and mathematics is
confidence in mathematical knowledge and its relevance to the real
world. In particular, effective implementation of the National
Numeracy Strategy requires student teachers, primary teachers and
mathematics coordinators to realize the place of mathematics across
the range of National Curriculum subjects.
This book explores mathematics as a set of tools for thinking
about, designing, evaluating and changing the world of the child
through the broader curriculum, rather than focusing on skills and
concept building exclusively in the 'mathematical world.' Practical
activities are included to stimulate readers to apply these ideas
with confidence both within and beyond the mathematics lesson.
From the Community of Aidan and Hilda, here is a resource to create
a daily rhythm of prayer, inspired by historic and contemporary
Celtic Christian spirituality and earthed in the activities of
everyday living. Celtic Rhythms of Life contains ready-to-use forms
of prayer for morning, midday, evening and night, seven days a
week. Morning and evening prayer have a choice of four psalms and
scripture readings from the Old and New Testaments. Midday and
night prayer have short scripture readings printed in the text.
Each day also has its own theme, fromĀ resurrection on Sundays
to the kingdom on Saturdays.
This collection examines education in the light of a politics of
becoming. It takes a non-hierarchical transdisciplinary approach,
challenging the macropolitics of pre-established governmental and
economic agendas for education. Drawing on the philosophy of Gilles
Deleuze and Felix Guattari, the contributors consider questions
such as how education might engage a politics of becoming, and how
education and becoming function in a society of control. Since
Deleuze and Guattari contend that a society is defined by its
becomings, its transformations, this collection asks how education,
itself a process in becoming, may contribute "collective creations"
to a society in continual flux. The chapters bring theory and
praxis together, deploying power, affect, cartography, space,
relationality, assemblage and multiple literacies in order to
experiment with music, art, language, teacher education, curriculum
and policy studies. This collection is an innovative resource,
creating an encounter with the macropolitics of education, and
altering teaching, learning, evaluation and curriculum. This book
was originally published as a special issue of Discourse: Studies
in the Cultural Politics of Education.

Even the most committed pray-ers can get stuck in a rut. Loved and
familiar ways of praying can become dry and stale and it can be
difficult to rekindle the spark, especially if you've only ever
known a handful of ways to pray. But help is at hand in this
wide-ranging and exciting new collection from the Community of
Aidan and Hilda. Edited by David Cole, with contributions from 30
members of the dispersed community, Celtic Prayer - Caught Up in
Love explores 20 different ways of praying from the Celtic
Christian tradition. Accessible and inspiring, it will refresh your
spirit and draw you deeper into knowing God. 'This book is the
antidote to desiccated prayer. A book of fresh and new ways to
commune with the Divine when your prayer life might have become dry
and lifeless.' Nicolette Rodden, Equality, Diversity, and
Inclusivity Coordinator for the Community of Aidan and Hilda
