This book considers a crucial moment in the development of English higher education, and also provides a new and comprehensive history of the early decades of Durham University. During the Age of Reform innovative ideas about the role and purpose of a university were moving at an unprecedented pace. Proposals for new institutions in all parts of the country were developing quickly and resulted in the foundation of Durham University, London University (later re-styled University College, London), and King's College, London. While normally overshadowed by the London institutions, this book demonstrates not only that Durham attempted to produce a far broader institution than any historian has given its founders credit for, but that a remarkable attempt at a third-way in English higher education has been neglected. Matthew Andrews therefore not only provides the first fully researched account of this important national institution since 1932, but also carefully situates Durham in its contemporary context, and alongside the two other most prominent emerging institutions of that time.

Suggested answers to the coursebook questions are in the teacher's resource.

Why is Frisco, Texas, the fastest growing town in America? Why is Dallas the fastest growing city in America? Why are the largest American and international companies moving headquarters to Texas? The answers are simple—Dallas Got It Right! This dynamic new book by Sam Wyly, co-authored by Laurie Matthews and Andrew Wyly, offers new insights into the many reasons Dallas feeds the world, out produces the Middle East in oil and gas, and serves as an epicenter for business management, technology and investment. Wyly’s “Dallas” goes north to Colorado Springs; east to Jackson, Mississippi; south to Aggie Land; and west to White Sands. Dallas Got It Right! is rich in history; entrepreneurial in spirit; expansive in technology; unbounded by city limits. Built on cotton, cows, oil, the military, computer technology, wholesaling and retail, Sam reminds readers that, “My Dallas feeds the world. My Dallas is the technology capital of the world. My Dallas is vital to America’s military muscle.” Dallas Got It Right! shows readers that Dallas goes beyond Elm Street and Main Street, made up of many neighborhoods and characters. It’s a good place to live and work.

In 2005, recent graduates Alex Herman, Paul Matthews, and Andrew Feindel realized they werent entirely sure where they were going in life. Then they had an idea. Over the next two years, they interviewed 70 well-known Canadians and asked them how they got started. The answers they found were not always what they expected. Kickstart profiles over 30 prominent Canadians, including professional athletes (former CFL star Norman Kwong), TV personalities (Valerie Pringle), Native leaders (Matthew Coon Come), and former prime ministers (Brian Mulroney). Their collective wisdom, offered in their own words, just might help readers "kickstart" their own lives and careers.
