Integrated History and Philosophy of Science (iHPS) is commonly understood as the study of science from a combined historical and philosophical perspective. Yet, since its gradual formation as a research field, the question of how to suitably integrate both perspectives remains open. This volume presents cutting edge research from junior iHPS scholars, and in doing so provides a snapshot of current developments within the field, explores the connection between iHPS and other academic disciplines, and demonstrates some of the topics that are attracting the attention of scholars who will help define the future of iHPS.

This text reflects the shift in the SENCO's role from SEN teacher to manager. Written within the context of the most recent government initiatives, it can be used by both special-needs co-ordinators and by special-educational-needs trainers and advisory staff. In two parts, it explores the range of skills required for the role of special needs coordinator and offers information and advice to develop those skills. Practical activities enable the user to monitor and evaluate special-needs provision in their own school and to implement a structured process of change in partnership with all those involved in meeting special educational needs.

All teachers will be familiar with the problems of effectively managing a class of children with varying abilities. They will also recognize that motivation is a key factor in helping pupils who experience difficulties. Partnership with students, that is, involving them more in decisions which effect their education, can improve both motivation and behaviour. This is recognized by recent legislation, notably the Code of Practice for special needs. The contributions in this collection first consider issues such as empowerment and sources for learning and behaviour difficulties. The central sections, written by respected experts, look at different kinds of partnership and how they can be used, including peer tutoring, counselling, contracts, class-based support, self-monitoring and a range of whole-school approaches.

King David wrote: 'He restores my Soul' Psalm 23:3. God made us in 'His image' and that image was imprinted deep in the human personality. We are by nature spiritual beings, but something has gone wrong. God has set in motion His plan to restore the Human Soul to its original design. This book is about how God restores the soul. What is the soul? How does it differ from the spirit? How do these relate to the body? What can we do to see God working deeply within our souls?

Marriage seems to be under attack as never before. The UK has the highest divorce rate in Europe. Statistics tell us that back in the 1930's only 4000 couples were divorcing each year. By 1981, this had risen to 27,000 couples, 75% on the grounds of adultery or unreasonable behaviour. By 1989, it was a staggering 164,000 couples a year. This has remained a constant figure ever since: 2001 recording 157,000 divorces and 160,000 in 2002, which means 400 children a day are affected by the break-up of their parents' marriage.
