A good Shareholder Agreement is like a fence at the top of a cliff,
which stops company owners from falling over the edge and into the
hands of lawyers who wait in the ambulance parked beside the rocks
below. This book explains in easy to understand language what a
Shareholder Agreement does, the common clauses it contains and when
it is best to put one in place. I have found that most client
meetings I attend to discuss Shareholder Agreements follow a
familiar script. Company owners ask similar questions, have common
worries, want to achieve matching outcomes and, in response, I give
them the same answers. The result is `Shareholder Agreements: the
30 minute guide', which explains the typical issues that arise when
company owners want to put in place a Shareholder Agreement and how
to overcome them. Part One explains what a Shareholder Agreement
is, who needs one and when it is best to think about getting one.
Part Two explores the most common clauses that 99% of company
owners ask for in their Shareholder Agreement. Finally, Part Three
highlights some thorny legal issues to watch out for when
finalising your Shareholder Agreement. My aim is to demystify
Shareholder Agreements for business advisers and accountants who
often become the first contact for company owners with a question
about making a Shareholder Agreement. This book will also be
helpful for company owners who feel comfortable building their own
Shareholder Agreement from a template they have purchased. By the
time you have read this book you will understand how a Shareholder
Agreement will protect company owners against unexpected life
events, why a Shareholder Agreement is sometimes called a `Business
Will' and what to ask your lawyer when you are ready to put in
place your own Shareholder Agreement.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could equip your school and yourself
to face whatever the future might throw at you! Schools face myriad
calls on their time and creativity yet have finite internal
resources to respond to them. This can result in piecemeal changes,
and reactive rather than pro-active approaches. This book reduces,
filters and prioritises the demands on staff energy to the central
task of all schools - to achieve the best engagement of and
learning outcomes for all learners (including the staff
themselves). Schools often feel constrained by their current
context, their previous performance, their demographics or
available staff. This book provides an holistic and effective
approach to change management that is simple, engages all
stakeholders, is built around the current expertise and culture of
the school and, most importantly, is sustainable. It is suitable
for headteachers, senior or aspiring leaders, and those driving
change through initiatives, but also individual teachers who are
interested in effective practice as a route towards personal
well-being and professional satisfaction. -- Dr Morris Charlton *

It's time to look at how to maximise examination success for your
pupils and your school in a whole new way. While the examination
performance of pupils can define a school's success, schools have
been less than systematic in preparing pupils to give their optimal
performance. They focus too heavily on outcomes and too lightly on
inputs to the learning process which influence performance. Whole
school revision strategies, if they exist, are often curriculum
knowledge based, and not designed to support and challenge
individual pupils effectively. This book provides the research and
practical insights required to radically review and remodel exam
preparation provision with a view to ensuring more pupils,
particularly those that are vulnerable, can perform to their
potential. It explores recent knowledge acquisition and retention
strategies, looks at reviewing pedagogical approaches across the
curriculum, and addresses the need to work with pupils and parents
in new ways. Most importantly it takes an ethical and mentally
healthy approach to looking at effective exam preparation.
Individual teachers or school leaders can use the book to enhance
their current provision at a personal level, while headteachers can
drive more radical change by implementing the strategies and
approaches at a whole school level.
The privately rented housing market has largely catered for young,
mobile people and students since it was deregulated in the UK. In
this volume, key writers provide timely insights into this rapidly
evolving market. This volume is based on new, original research
which brings together specialists in housing policy and legal
studies, with their common and increasingly interdependent
knowledge base about the privately rented sector and its future
direction. The collection opens with an overview of the historical
context and recent changes to the sector, such as the rapid and
continued expansion of the buy-to-let market, followed by a
discussion of the factors shaping the contemporary market. The
contributors show how the new regulatory environment is opening a
series of issues with significant potential to affect (and
potentially damage) the market. The volume will interest academics
and students in social and public policy, law and housing studies,
as well as law practices and housing authorities.
The Other Classical Musics offers challenging new perspectives on
classical music by presenting the history of fifteen parallel
traditions. Winner of the Royal Philharmonic Society Music Award
for Creative Communication 2015 There is a treasure trove of
underappreciated music out there; this book will convince many to
explore it. The Economist Whatis classical music? This book answers
the question in a manner never before attempted, by presenting the
history of fifteen parallel traditions, of which Western classical
music is just one. Each music is analysed in terms of itsmodes,
scales, and theory; its instruments, forms, and aesthetic goals;
its historical development, golden age, and condition today; and
the conventions governing its performance. The writers are leading
ethnomusicologists, and their approach is based on the belief that
music is best understood in the context of the culture which gave
rise to it. By including Mande and Uzbek-Tajik music - plus North
American jazz - in addition to the better-knownstyles of the Middle
East, the Indian sub-continent, the Far East, and South-East Asia,
this book offers challenging new perspectives on the word
'classical'. It shows the extent to which most classical traditions
are underpinnedby improvisation, and reveals the cognate origins of
seemingly unrelated musics; it reflects the multifarious ways in
which colonialism, migration, and new technology have affected
musical development, and continue to do today. With specialist
language kept to a minimum, it's designed to help both students and
general readers to appreciate musical traditions which may be
unfamiliar to them, and to encounter the reality which lies behind
that lazy adjective'exotic'. MICHAEL CHURCH has spent much of his
career in newspapers as a literary and arts editor; since 2010 he
has been the music and opera critic of The Independent. From 1992
to 2005 he reported on traditional musics all over the world for
the BBC World Service; in 2004, Topic Records released a CD of his
Kazakh field recordings and, in 2007, two further CDs of his
recordings in Georgia and Chechnya. Contributors: Michael Church,

Against a century-long trend of decline, the private rented sector
grew significantly during the 1990s. This book explores why and
looks at the consequences for tenants and landlords, as well as the
wider implications for housing policy. Written by legal and policy
experts, the book brings together, for the first time in over a
decade, leading-edge research on the newly deregulated private
rented sector. It provides background information about the recent
history and development of the private rented sector and explores
the changing nature of the sector. The book will be invaluable
reading for law, public policy, housing and social policy students.
Housing practitioners and policy makers will also find it a
stimulating read.
This is a light-heated and very readable collection of twelve
stories, reflections and vignettes. The Flamingo Bar was the
liveliest social hub in the roadside township of Tonota from the
early 1990s until it closed around 2004."They were gathered
together" writes David Hughes, "as memories and scribbled notes
during the time I was a teacher in the bar's heyday when I lived
and worked in the local secondary school. I drank beer and ate
grilled meat, laughed and listened..." Hughes brings to life a
small community where the locals mixed with the teachers from other
parts of Africa and from England. He recalls a selection of
memorable characters - the footballer who missed his chance to play
for his country and ended up servicing fire extinguishers; the old
man whose bicycle pump could locate the thief who stole the bike;
the over-sexed "cock of the village"; reactions to the rise in the
price of beer; the education seminar that had a surprising
sequel...

both EC and International Environmental Law, and also with
reference to wider policy and ethical issues. This edition features
a restructured coverage of topics, thus increasing the

introduction of the IPPC regime, the growing impact of human rights
issues, new countryside access provisions and considerable changes
relating to planning controls.
He comes each week to loosen his limbs, lose some weight, make the
heart beat stronger, longer. This is a skilful collection by a poet
well acquainted with relative place: wherever a poem lives, it
always remembers its place in the world. Indeed, juxtapositions and
connections – with place, culture, and among humans – are where
the poet flexes his muscle – ‘works out’ his ideas. The poet
gazes outward and inward with the same critical eye: he kindly
refuses to judge the humans in his poems, instead offering them up
as precise portraits, and even in dialect, never caricatures. The
poet is never far from the frame, sharing in our delight,
disappointment, upset, and wonder.
"Previously entitled 'Hughes and Lowe: Social Housing Law and
Policy', this new edition covers the changes in statute and case
law since the publication of the last edition in 1995, the chief of
these being the Housing Act 1996. Housing is set to become an
increasingly important issue under a Labour government and a new
professionalism will be required in all those involved in the
provision and management of housing. This book will be of great
assistance to all housing professionals and to students of housing
law."
