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.

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. -- .
