connections between reflective practice and employability
particularly through the lenses of the education and social work
professions. It recognises the various meanings that can be applied
to the notion of reflection and examines the challenges of using
reflective practice in the workplace. The chapters explore the
tensions that arise from preparing professionals to be agents of
change and concerned with social justice and equity. Further, the
book provides much needed perspective on how diverse positions can

What was it like to live under the English Republic and, later,
Cromwell's Protectorate, if one supported the defeated Stuarts and
yearned for the day when Charles II would once again set foot in
England? This book tells the story of the traumatic decade of the
1650s (or, 'the Interregnum', from the Latin meaning 'between the
reign of the kings') from the vantage point of those who lost the
Civil Wars. It describes how these men and women negotiated the
difficult choices they faced: to compromise, collaborate, or
resist. It brings together essays by established and emerging
historians and literary scholars in Britain, Europe, the United
States and Australia. The essays sketch the difficulties,
complexities, and nuances of the Royalist experience during the
Commonwealth and Protectorate, looking at women, religion,
print-culture, literature, the politics of exile, and the nature
and extent of royalist networks in England. -- .
This volume provides a detailed book-length study of the period of
the Protectorate Parliaments from September 1654 to April 1659. The
study is very broad in its scope, covering topics as diverse as the
British and Irish dimensions of the Protectorate Parliaments, the
political and social nature of factions, problems of management,
the legal and judicial aspects of Parliament's functions, foreign
policy and the nature of the parliamentary franchise and elections
in this period. In its wide-ranging analysis of Parliaments and
politics throughout the Protectorate the book also examines both
Lord Protectors, all three Protectorate Parliaments and the reasons
why Oliver and Richard Cromwell were never able to achieve a stable
working relationship with any Parliament. Its chronological
coverage extends to the demise of the Third Protectorate Parliament
in April 1659. This comprehensive account will appeal to historians
of early modern British political history.
In 1603 King James I ascended the throne to become the first King
of a united England and Scotland. There followed a period of
increasing religious and political discord, culminating in the
English Civil War. The Early Stuart Kings, 1603-1642 explores these
complex events and the roles of the key personalities of the time -
James I and VI, Charles I, Buckingham, Stratford and Laud.
Our ability to treat common bacterial infections with antibiotics
goes back only 65 years. However, the authors of this report make
it clear that sustaining a supply of effective and affordable
antibiotics cannot be without changes to the incentives facing
patients, physicians, hospitals, insurers, and pharmaceutical
manufacturers. In fact, increasing resistance to these drugs is
already exacting a terrible price. Every day in the United States,
approximately 172 men, women, and children die from infections
caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria in hospitals alone. Beyond
those deaths, antibiotic resistance is costing billions of dollars
through prolonged hospital stays and the need for doctors to resort
to ever more costly drugs to use as substitute treatments.
Extending the Cure presents the problem of antibiotic resistance as
a conflict between individual decision makers and their short-term
interest and the interest of society as a whole, in both present
and future: The effort that doctors make to please each patient by
prescribing a drug when it might not be properly indicated, poor
monitoring of discharged patients to ensure that they do not
transmit drug-resistant pathogens to other persons, excesses in the
marketing of new antibiotics, and the broad overuse of antibiotics
all contribute to the development and spread of
antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The book explores a range of policy
options that would encourage patients, health care providers, and
managed care organizations to serve as more responsible stewards of
existing antibiotics as well as proposals that would give
pharmaceutical firms greater incentives to develop new antibiotics
and avoid overselling. If the problem continues unaddressed,
antibiotic resistance has the potential to derail the health care
system and return us to a world where people of all ages routinely
die from simple infections. As a basis for future research and a
spur to a critically important dialogue, Extending the Cure is a
fundamental first step in addressing this public health crisis. The
Extending the Cure project is funded in part by the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation through its Pioneer Portfolio.
"Constitutional Royalism" is one of the most familiar yet least often examined of all the political labels found in the historiography of the English Revolution. This book fills a gap by investigating the leading Constitutional royalists who rallied to King Charles I in 1642 while consistently urging him to reach an "accommodation" with Parliament. These royalists' early careers reveal that a commitment to the rule of law and a relative lack of "godly" zeal were the characteristic predictors of Constitutional royalism in the Civil War. Such attitudes explain why many of them criticized the policies of the King's personal rule, but also why they joined the King in 1642 and tried to achieve a negotiated settlement thereafter.

A comprehensive history of parliament in the British Isles from the
earliest times, covering all aspects of parliament as an
institution. A Short History of Parliament is a comprehensive
institutional history, not a political history of parliament,
though politics is included where, as frequently occurred,
institutional changes resulted from particular political events. It
covers the English parliament from its origins, the pre-1707
Scottish parliament and the pre-1800 Irish parliament, the
parliament of Great Britain from 1707 and the parliament of the
United Kingdom from 1801, together with sections on the
post-devolution parliaments and assemblies set up in the 1990s and
on parliaments in the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands and the
Irish Republic. It considers all aspects of parliament as an
institution:membership of both the Lords and the Commons;
constituencies, elections and franchises; where the Lords and the
Commons met; how business was arranged and managed, including
Speakers, the use of committees, the development of parties,
lobbying and voting procedures; legal cases in the House of Lords;
official recording of and reporting of business and debates; the
conflict and balance of power between the two Houses; and the
position of the monarch in parliament. Each section contains a
chronology listing key events, suggestions for further reading and
"inserts" - short anecdotes or accounts of particular figures or
episodes which provide lively illustrations of parliament at work
in different periods. Clyve Jones is an honorary fellow of the
Institute of Historical Research. He has been editor of the journal
Parliamentary History since 1986. Previously he was reader in

has published extensively on the history of the House of Lords and
of the peerage in the early eighteenth century.
The essays in this volume seek to analyze biographical films as
representations of historical individuals and the times in which
they lived. To do this, contributors examine the context in which
certain biographical films were made, including the state of
knowledge about their subjects at that moment, and what these films
reveal about the values and purposes of those who created them.
This is an original approach to biographical (as opposed to
historical) films and one that has so far played little part in the
growing literature on historical films. The films discussed here
date from the 1920s to the 2010s, and deal with males and females
in periods ranging from the Middle Ages to the end of the twentieth
century. In the process, the book discusses how biographical films
reflect changing attitudes towards issues such as race, gender and
sexuality, and examines the influence of these films on popular
perceptions of the past. The introduction analyses the nature of
biographical films as a genre: it compares and contrasts the nature
of biography on film with written biographies, and considers their
relationship with the discipline of history. As the first
collection of essays on this popular but understudied genre, this
book will be of interest to historians as well as those in film and
cultural studies.
Much ink has been spent on accounts of the English Civil Wars of
the mid-seventeenth century, yet royalism has been largely
neglected. This volume of essays by leading scholars in the field
seeks to fill that significant gap in our understanding by focusing
on those who took up arms for the king. The royalists described
were not reactionary, absolutist extremists but pragmatic, moderate
men who were not so different in temperament or background from the
vast majority of those who decided to side with, or were forced by
circumstances to side with, Parliament and its army. The essays
force us to think beyond the simplistic dichotomy between royalist
'absolutists' and 'constitutionalists' and suggest instead that
allegiances were much more fluid and contingent than has hitherto
been recognized. This is a major contribution to the political and
intellectual history of the Civil Wars and of early modern England
more generally.
This introduction to contemporary theology looks at the origin and
history of each movement, their major figures, and doctrinal
emphases. The author evaluates the teachings and practices of each
system in light of biblical Christianity.
The neglected period of the Protectorate is reviewed and reassessed
in this stimulating collection. The Protectorate is arguably the
Cinderella of Interregnum studies: it lacks the immediate drama of
the Regicide, the Republic or the Restoration, and is often
dismissed as a 'retreat from revolution', a short period of
conservative rule before the inevitable return of the Stuarts. The
essays in this volume present new research that challenges this
view. They argue instead that the Protectorate was dynamic and
progressive, even if the policies put forwardwere not always
successful, and often created further tensions within the
government and between Whitehall and the localities. Particular
topics include studies of Oliver Cromwell and his relationship with
Parliament, and the awkward position inherited by his son, Richard;
the role of art and architecture in creating a splendid protectoral
court; and the important part played by the council, as a
law-making body, as a political cockpit, and as part of a hierarchy
of government covering not just England but also Ireland and
Scotland. There are also investigations of the reactions to
Cromwellian rule in Wales, in the towns and cities of the
Severn/Avon basin, and in the local communities of England faced
with a far-reaching programme of religious reform. PATRICK LITTLE

This is the first truly scholarly edition of all the recorded
writings and recorded speech acts of Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658)
and consists of more than 1,000 texts. Oliver Cromwell, one of
Britain's greatest and most controversial generals, rose from lowly
provincial origins to preside over the trial and execution of a
king, to undertake the most complete conquest of Ireland and
Scotland ever achieved, and to spend the last five years of his
life as head of state, as Lord Protector of Britain and Ireland. A
passionate speaker who claimed to be called by God to overthrow
tyranny in church and state, and a powerful advocate for a very
broad religious liberty and equality, his speeches and letters
reveal the public and the private man more completely than for
almost any other early modern political leader. This new edition
not only publishes a number of new items, but also edits a large
number from recovered originals not previously edited. Every item
has its own detailed introduction explaining the status of the text
and its context or contexts, but also very full annotation -
identifying for example almost every person, place and event
mentioned in the text and also - where there is no holograph but
also variant copies - all significant differences between variant
early copies.
AD 378. Chak Tok Ich'aak, the Lord of Tikal (Mutal), sent his third
daughter to marry the son of one of the lords of Teotihuacan
(Tollan) in Central Mexico in fulfillment of an alliance. Thirteen
years later Ix Bahlam Ich'aak (Lady Jaguar Claw) returns with her
husband, Jatz'om Kuh (Spearthrower Owl), who has been chartered to
deliver a prophecy and establish a new order in the jungle cities.
He orders Sihyaj K'ahk' (Born of Fire), his warlord enforcer, to
execute his wife's family and erase even the memory of her father
and the former rulers. Battered by bouts of anger, bitterness, and
guilt, Lady Jaguar Claw descends into an abyss of depression and
despair. Her birth prophecy said she would battle a mighty demon
amidst "powerful winds and waves." This is the story of that battle
and her rise from the abyss.
