This is the second book about a long distance walk, althought the
first was a family record and not for general distribution. The
experience encouraged me to undertake another long distance walk so
it has been a delight to recently complete the Coast to Coast Walk
with my wife Ruth. This book records the ups and downs of our
journey.
Acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Haigh returns
to the Pennsylvania town at the center of her iconic novel Baker
Towers in this ambitious, achingly human story of modern America
and the conflicting forces at its heart-a bold, moving drama of
hope and desperation, greed and power, big business and small-town
families. Forty years ago, Bakerton coal fueled the country. Then
the mines closed, and the town wore away like a bar of soap. Now
Bakerton has been granted a surprise third act: it sits squarely
atop the Marcellus Shale, a massive deposit of natural gas. To
drill or not to drill? Prison guard Rich Devlin leases his mineral
rights to finance his dream of farming. He doesn't count on the
truck traffic and nonstop noise, his brother's skepticism or the
paranoia of his wife, Shelby, who insists the water smells strange
and is poisoning their frail daughter. Meanwhile his neighbors,
organic dairy farmers Mack and Rena, hold out against the
drilling-until a passionate environmental activist disrupts their
lives. Told through a cast of characters whose lives are
increasingly bound by the opposing interests that underpin the
national debate, Heat and Light depicts a community blessed and
cursed by its natural resources. Soaring and ambitious, it zooms
from drill rig to shareholders' meeting to the Three Mile Island
nuclear reactor to the ruined landscape of the "strippins,"
haunting reminders of Pennsylvania's past energy booms. This is a
dispatch from a forgotten America-a work of searing moral clarity
from one of the finest writers of her generation, a courageous and
necessary book.

Centering on the theme of university-based teacher education at a
time of system change and its connections with broader global
political issues, this book investigates the changing nature of
initial teacher education (ITE) as it amalgamated into universities
in the New Zealand context. The New Zealand government, like many
across the world is seeking improvement in education system
performance, with a particular interest in meeting the needs of
those traditionally disadvantaged through education. As a result,
over the last 20 years, most ITE has been relocated into
universities and teacher qualifications have changed. Not immune to
international discourses about the criticality of the teacher
workforce to system performance, Aotearoa New Zealand provides a
bounded yet connected case of ITE development and reform. The
authors draw from a study of teacher education practice in Aotearoa
New Zealand and also look at recent research carried out in other
jurisdictions to consider how ITE and the academic category of
teacher educator is constructed, maintained and practiced within
the institution of the university. They highlight the promise of
university-based ITE provision, noting areas for development and
provide an opportunity to better understand how student teachers
within ITE respond to and engage with teacher educators’ work in
the service of their own learning.

Two essential accounts of the tankers at war-in one special edition
These two books have more in common than their subject-the lives
and battles of British soldiers and their mighty metal war machines
at war on the Western Front during the Great War. Both are a
written in an easy, personable style which takes the reader towards
an intimate relationship with the officers, crews and machines of
this new and unique branch of the army. The reader is taken inside
the stinking, smoke filled, claustrophobic interior of the early
tanks and introduced to every hindrance, problem, and danger of
fighting the tankers war-not only with the German enemy but in a
torn, shattered mud-mired landscape than would bring an attack to a
halt before it had barely begun, or cripple and suck down a machine
and its crew to a halt under enemy guns or within hostile lines.
These two accounts-which allow the reader to share the experience
of tank warfare in its earliest days-are highly recommended for
their content and good value. Available softcover and hardback with
dustjacket.
