Originally published in 1985, this book is a detailed study of the
ways of harmonizing school and community policies, strategies and
methods in health education, with examples of work achieved in most
countries of Western Europe and the USA. It is primarily a guide to
ways of overcoming a piecemeal approach to health education in
schools and replacing it with more coherent, coordinated and valid
forms in which community agencies can play their part.
The current debate on the growing role of the voluntary and
community or third sector in delivering public and social policy is
impoverished by its lack of understanding of the historical events
which have shaped the sector and its relationship with the state.
This widely anticipated book draws on a range of empirical studies
of aspects of the history of voluntary action to illuminate and
inform this debate. Chapter contributions range across two
centuries and a variety of fields of activity, geographical areas
and organisational forms. Four key themes are addressed: The
'moving frontier' between the state and voluntary action; the
distribution of roles and functions between them; and the nature of
their inter-relationship; The 'springs' of voluntary action -- what
makes people get involved in voluntary organisations or support
them financially; Organisational challenges for voluntary agencies,
including growth, cleaving to their missions and values, and
survival; Issues of continuity and change: how and to what extent
has the nature of voluntary action and its role in society remained
essentially the same despite the changing context? This book is
essential reading for all practitioners involved in charities and
voluntary and non-profit organisations, for those who work at the
interface between government and the third sector and for those who
are involved in making and implementing public and social policy.
A leading figure of the Scottish Enlightenment, George Campbell
(1719-96) began to write what was to become his most famous work,
The Philosophy of Rhetoric, soon after his ordination as a minister
in 1748. Later, as a founder of the Aberdeen Philosophical Society,
he was able to present his theories, and these discourses were
eventually published in 1776. In the spirit of the Enlightenment,
Campbell combined classical rhetorical theory with the latest
thinking in the social, behavioural and natural sciences. A
proponent of 'common sense' philosophy, he was particularly
interested in the effect of successful rhetoric upon the mind.
Published in two volumes, the work is divided into three books.
Volume 1 contains Book 1 and part of Book 2. Book 1 emphasises the
necessity of acknowledging and adapting to the needs of an
audience. In Book 2, Campbell expands on the linguistic tools a
successful rhetorician should employ.

Sir George Campbell (1824 92) spent a number of years in the
administration of India at a time when rule over the country was
being transferred from the East India Company to the British Crown.
In this 1853 work, he offers an outline of policy for a future
government. He believes that India is capable of being the most
civilised country in the world, and favours introduction of the
western model of development to India. Campbell laments the lack of
co-ordination among various agencies of the government, and finds
executive efficiency in an inverse proportion to staff numbers,
thus supporting the idea of a small government. He argues for the
establishment of an authoritative central power to guide, direct
and propel the local administrations. Some of the problems he
identified and the remedies he suggested are as relevant to the
governance of India today as they were then.
This 1874 work by Sir George Campbell, a British government
official whose Scheme for the Government of India is also reissued
in this series, presents a survey of the diverse languages of
India, using material obtained usually by British army officers
trained by Campbell to collect 'specimens' in the course of their
normal work. The tabular material is presented with the English
words or phrases in one column and their equivalent in the Indian
language under discussion in another: most of the languages are
represented by more than one dialect, such as the 'Punjabee of
Lahore' and the 'Punjabee of Mooltan'. In his introduction to the
work, Campbell emphasises that the survey is not scientific, and
his main conclusion is that in addition to the broad division of
Aryan and Dravidian language types, India contains a huge number of
'aboriginal' languages which will require further study.

George Campbell Hay (DeArsa Mac Iain DheArsa) has been hailed as an
important voice in Scottish literature and as a crucial figure in
the renaissance of Gaelic poetry in the twentieth century. Yet with
his collections long out of print, only a small proportion of his
work has been available to the public. These two volumes gather
together for the first time These two volumes present George
Campbell Hay's complete original poems, in Gaelic, Scots, English,
French, Italian, and Norwegian. Volume I presents all of the poems
chronologically, with accompanying English translations. Volume II
provides annotations to each poem, including a full list of
sources; a detailed biography, heavily reliant on Hay's own
correspondence, which sheds new light on the social, political and
literary context of his work; an outline of Hay's main poetic
concerns, in theme and in form; and some of Hay's own musical
settings. The publication of this long-awaited scholarly edition is
a landmark in Scottish and Gaelic publishing. The volumes represent
a notable addition to the canon of twentieth-century Scottish
literature and should permit a full evaluation of Hay's
significance. Published as a two-volume set in a deluxe edition in
association with the Lorimer Memorial Trust.

First published in 1945, this compilation features the work of
Jamaican poet George Campbell. Perceptive and inspirational, these
poems consider the events that marked the nationalist struggle for
Jamaican independence, such as the imprisonment of militants by
British colonial authorities, the appalling social conditions that
drove the masses to revolt, and the desperate poverty of the black
majority. Honoring martyred heroes of the Jamaican struggle against
slavery and colonialism, Campbell writes about the hopes and
consolations to be derived from religious faith, but a faith in
which Jesus and Lenin were not necessarily incompatible icons.
Other, more personal topics, such as love and its ecstasies and
bitter disappointments and Jamaica's natural beauty are also
celebrated.
This book is available as an open access ebook under a CC-BY-NC-ND
licence. At a time when payment is claiming a greater place than
ever before within the NHS, this book provides the first in-depth
investigation of the workings, scale and meaning of payment in
British hospitals before the NHS. There were only three decades in
British history when it was the norm for patients to pay the
hospital; those between the end of the First World War and the
establishment of the National Health Service in 1948. Payment
played an important part in redefining rather than abandoning
medical philanthropy, based on class divisions and the notion of
financial contribution as a civic duty. With new insights on the
scope of private medicine and the workings of the means test in the
hospital, as well as the civic, consumer and charitable meanings
associated with paying the hospital, Gosling offers a fresh
perspective on healthcare before the NHS and welfare before the
welfare state. -- .
