Cultural Studies, Education, and Youth: Beyond Schools, edited by
Benjamin Frymer, Matthew Carlin, and John Broughton, addresses the
new cultural landscapes which increasingly "educate" our youth.
With essays from both emerging and established scholars, the book
explores the ways media and popular culture have a growing impact
on our youth, their identities, and everyday lives. In our highly
mediated world, the nature of education has been dramatically
transformed and taken way beyond the walls of our schools.
Identities are formed, values learned, and relationships developed
in the worlds of pop culture and media spaces. Each author brings a
different lens to the study of education beyond the classroom. From
the re-emergence of Che Guevara to the effects of an increasingly
virtual culture, this collection critically attends to the changing
nature of education and the impact of culture in the lives of
youth. Cultural Studies, Education, and Youth: Beyond Schools
raises significant questions and offers important insights for
teachers, youth, scholars, and practitioners, alike.

the ideal 'Gateway to Lakeland', the Furness Railway is remembered
with affection by both local people and holidaymakers. Happily most
of the routes still exist; the main route still serves the scenic
coastal area, and the Lakeside branch is now one of Britain's
thriving preserved lines.
The 20 circular routes vary in length from 61/2 to 27 miles and are
fully described in the text and shown on the accompanying maps. The
rides visit a wide variety of interesting and historic sites
including the picturesque village of Great Tew; the Victorian tower
brewery at Hook Norton; the church at Bloxham; Shotover Country
Park with its spectacular views and Great Coxwell Barn. The book
also covers the type of terrain to be covered and where to find
refreshments along the way, as well as brief notes about places of
interest en route or nearby.
