accessible, and student friendly introduction to the principles,
concepts, and methods currently used in educational research. This
text provides a balanced combination of quantitative and
qualitative methods and enables students to master skills in
reading, understanding, critiquing, and conducting research. Many
examples and article excerpts are used throughout the text to
demonstrate and highlight best practices in educational research.
Evidence-based inquiry is emphasized in two ways: (1) Introductory
chapters focus on the added importance of data driven
decision-making, (2) Methodological chapters provide explicit
guidelines for conducting empirical studies.

The town was once a hub of industry. A place where men toiled
underground in darkness, picking and shovelling in the dust and the
sleck. It was dangerous and back-breaking work but it meant
something. Once, the town provided, it was important, it had
purpose. But what is it now? Brothers Alex and Brian have spent
their whole life in the town where their father lived and his
father, too. Still reeling from the collapse of his personal life,
Alex, is now in his middle age, and must reckon with a part of his
identity he has long tried to mask. Simon is the only child of Alex
and had practically no memory of the mines. Now in his twenties and
working in a call centre, he derives passion from his side hustle
in sex work and his weekly drag gigs. Set across three generations
of South Yorkshire mining family, Andrew McMillan's short and
magnificent debut novel is a lament for a lost way of a life as
well as a celebration of resilience and the possibility for change.

The illustrated biography of a Scottish country house, set beside
the River Clyde, and of the people who made it their home over the
past 850 years Written by four brothers, their sister and the
eldest member of the next generation, Finlaystone offers an
insidersa view of the house, its beautiful gardens and the
surrounding estate. They tell about the lives of its former owners,
many of whom played prominent roles in Scottish military,
political, religious and cultural affairs. As Scotland moved
forward from centuries of feuds between large feudal landowners to
the reformation, the age of enlightenment and the industrial
revolution, the building evolved from a fortress to a modest but
attractive family home in 1746. Its present form as an imposing
late Victorian mansion dates from when it was modernised and
extended in 1900 by George Jardine Kidston, the great-grandfather
of the older authors, who had grown wealthy from running one of the
worlda s earliest steamship companies. In its hey-day, Finlaystone
was managed for the comfort and leisure of its owners by a bevy of
household servants living in a wing of the house, and by an army of
workers, including gardeners, foresters, game-keepers, joiners and
a laundry-maid. The prosperity that had made such a lavish life
possible, however, soon started to decline, with George Kidstona s
death in 1909, followed just 5 years later by war, the economic
depression in the 1930s, and then World War II. Unlike many other
large country houses, Finlaystone remains a family home, kept
afloat largely by the hard work and adaptability of the members of
the family who reflect in this book on the joys and travails that
this implied.
