This volume focuses on the changing pattern of tertiary
education in the UK and the emphasis of the contributions is on the
challenges and opportunities rather than the problems and
difficulties of educationists at this level. The contributors are
all leading figures in the educational world, and they are
concerned in particular with the need for a partnership in the
definition of aims and capabilities in higher education, in order
to meet future needs. The potential of the (new) polytechnics and
the use and interpretation of student/staff ratios, and the
difficulties of interdisciplinary education are discussed.
Originally published in 1968. A critical interpretation of
Chaucer's narrative poetry which concentrates on three major
groupings - the early love-visions, the 'tragedye' of Troilus and
Criseyde, and the Canterbury Tales. Emphasis is laid on Chaucer as
an oral narrator and on the varying skills which this role
encourages and sustains. The quotations are liberal and throughout
help is given to the reader unfamiliar with Middle English.
Originally published in 1968 The New University is a collection of
essays dealing with problems and opportunities of university
development in our time. The main focus is upon the universities of
the United Kingdom, but there are also accounts of American and
Commonwealth Discussion and experiment. The book addresses a global
scene and draws striking inferences from American practice. It also
provides a survey of the plans for English expansion as they struck
an informed observer. The book also considers the problem of
stratification of existing universities and the prospects for any
further development beyond present plans.

First published in 1997, this volume describes the theoretical
underpinning of the Polluter Pays Principle as a means to deliver
environmental benefits and reduce perverse incentives. By
systematically examining each major sector of the economy to
identify environmental issues, it considers how the principle can
be applied to the Irish fiscal system and then proposes alterations
to the system in an environmentally friendly and socially sensitive
direction. Sectors explored include agriculture and forestry,
environmental services for wastewater treatment, water supply and
for waste disposal, energy, transport, tourism and construction.

An immortal story of love, adventure, chivalry, treachery and death. Edited and first published by William Caxton in 1485, Le Morte D'Arthur is Sir Thomas Malory's unique and splendid version of the Arthurian legend. Mordred's treason, the knightly exploits of Tristan, Lancelot's fatally divided loyalties and his love for Guenever, the quest for the Holy Grail; all the elements are there woven into a wonderful completeness by the magic of his prose style. The result is not only one of the most readable accounts of the knights of the Round Table but also one of the most moving. As the story advances towards the inevitable tragedy of Arthur's death the effect is cumulative, rising with an impending sense of doom and tragedy towards its shattering finale.
