Originally published in 1979. This book is a study of the problems of functional and ideological adaptation of the curriculum in response to social change, based on a close investigation of a particular significant curriculum innovation, set up in 1962: the Nuffield Foundation Science Teaching Project. The book focuses particularly on the development of the O-level chemistry curriculum, which was one of the three founding projects. If sensible decisions are to be made about curriculum development, now and in the future, it is vitally important that we take account of the history of influential curriculum projects. This book deals thoroughly with the various political, social and educational factors influencing the setting up of the Nuffield Foundation Science Teaching Project, the details of its execution (methods, the influence of pressure groups, and of particular individuals) and its outcomes. The content of the secondary curriculum is a perennial topic of interest and this book is a stimulating aid to clear thinking not only as history.

The Sex Side of Life is a beautifully crafted essay that delves into the physical, as well as emotional aspects of sex education for young people; it is the ideal guide when it comes to understanding the complexity of human relations and sex. Young people can't help wanting to understand all about sex, but somehow they find themselves a little embarrassed in asking all the questions that come into their mind, and often they don't feel quite like talking about it freely, especially to their father and mother. Older people really want to help them with their experience and advice; and yet, they, like you, often feel rather embarrassed themselves and don't know how to go about it.
