The systems that make up the accountability package in education:
standards, assessments, and the quality determination for a school,
have each entered the educational field under the explicit
assumption by their creators that they would drive educator
behavior in a positive way. But what if that isn t actually the
case? What if each of the components was actually designed for
another purpose entirely and now is tasked with a role that was
never considered in its design? If that is the case those who put
the systems in place risk expecting a result that the system was
never designed to produce. That is exactly where we find ourselves
today. In education the misalignment between what the systems were
designed to do and the intent of those who selected them is masked
in the sheer complexity of the educational exercise. What this book
does so marvelously is unravel that complexity and present the
contradictions in a clear, coherent manner. Understanding these
contradictions is the first step towards actual improvement."

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Richard Brautigan was a
counter-cultural celebrity, a writer that the would-be hip just had
to read. The problem was that his fame did not rest on the
considerable literary virtues of his work but, to a great extent,
on a mediated image of cool hippie, which fell out of fashion in
the mid-70s. This is the first book-length study of Brautigan in
English for 30 years. Its purpose is to reclaim Brautigan's
reputation. Dr. John Tanner analyses Brautigan's fiction against
the background of the cultural and literary upheavals from which it
emerged and demonstrates that Brautigan is no mere Sixties curio
but an innovative and vibrant American voice ignored for far too
long. John Tanner teaches English Literature and Creative Writing
at Bangor University. He is an elected member of the Welsh Academy
of writers and his poetry has appeared in various magazines, in the
anthology The Lie of the Land, and in the collected volume of his
verse, Pieces, both published by Cinnamon Press.
