Researchers in education are interested in the study of learners,
teachers, professional support staff, parents and other
participants in schools and other educational institutions. To be
effective, research needs to be carried out in a systematic way and
should contribute to what is known. If you are interested in
education research and want to learn how to become an effective
researcher, then this step-by-step guide is for you. For many
students the first research project is the most daunting but this
book will help ensure its success. Beginning Research is a
practical toolkit of resources that will enable students to plan,
conduct and follow up research effectively. It contains information
on the range of methods available to researchers and introduces
some of the key concepts associated with education research and the
theoretical background against which it currently takes place.
Designed for anyone working in an education setting, by reading
through each chapter and completing the associated tasks you will
be able to work through each stage of the research process. This
book is essential reading for students on all education courses who
are engaging in research for the first time. It is particularly
suitable for foundation degree students, as it acknowledges the
constraints placed upon researchers who are also working and offers
practical advice for managing the demands of employment, study and
carrying out research.
Drama Characters: 5 male, 3 female, with doubling Winner! 2010
Francesca Primus Prize Finalist! 2010 Steinberg/ATCA New Play Award
Finalist! 2009 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize On the eve of the U.S.
invasion of Baghdad, one man, an Iraqi museum curator, plots to
save the statue of Inana, Goddess of War, from destruction by the
invaders. Fleeing to London with his young bride, he makes a
life-altering deal to ensure the statue's preservation. Michele
Lowe opens a window of hope and healing with her poignant love
story amidst a background of international, and personal, intrigue.
Inana had its world premiere at the Denver Center Theatre Company's
Colorado New Play Summit. "By introducing us to human and complex
Iraqi characters, as opposed to road-side bombers, Michele Lowe's
play wants to smooth the border that separates our nations like a
line of sand in the desert...a quick and engaging tale that allows
us to consider our "enemy" in new and more humane ways. To consider
the infuriating plight of Middle Eastern women. To reflect on the
unconscionable desecration of a country's sacred heritage, severed
into pieces like so many body parts. All while escaping into an
unlikely but eventually sweet romance." -Denver Post
Despite being a relatively straightforward clinical diagnosis,
recognition of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is highly variable,
and clinical management is challenging and complex. Written by the
world's leading experts in HS, A Comprehensive Guide to
Hidradenitis Suppurativa brings together up-to-date scientific
evidence on the diagnosis, patho-mechanisms, comorbidities, and
multi-faceted medical and surgical interventions for this
debilitating condition-in one convenient reference. Covers every
aspect of this complex skin disorder: etiology, pathophysiology,
epidemiology, medical, alternative therapies, a range of surgical
options, laser treatments, and comorbidities. Discusses specific
patient populations such as children, women of childbearing
potential, and pregnant and breastfeeding women. Because HS has
higher prevalence in people of skin of color, this patient
population is well-documented in the text. Offers insights into
multi-disciplinary care, patient support and education, patients at
risk for rapid disease progression, and clinical and translational
research. Features procedural videos covering laser therapies,
de-roofing procedures, excision techniques, cryoinsufflation
techniques, and special wound care material selection and
techniques. Includes promising future drugs and therapies that are
under investigation. Identifies evidence gaps that provide a
springboard to the future innovations in HS care to come. Edited
and authored by global experts who have helped co-author U.S.,
Canadian, and European guidelines on HS. Enhanced eBook version
included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access
all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety
of devices.

Domestic service is being reinstated by the middle classes. Demand
for domestic labour has increased in Britain in recent years. For
some, hiring domestic help is nothing new, but for the majority of
British households, it is beyond the range of immediate experience.
This text sets out to investigate the resurgence of demand for
waged domestic labour in Britain during the 1980s and early 1990s,
and the consequent growth of a new "servant" class. Examining the
conditions and trends which have conjoined to produce and reproduce
this labour force, the book cites two particular case studies. It
explores the day-to-day practices, composition, geography of
demand, and social relations of the two major forms of waged
domestic labour in contemporary Britain - nannies and cleaners. The
work concludes by considering the effects of the ideologies of
motherhood, false kinship relations and caring, on the ways in
which paid domestic workers are employed. It also examines the
broader theoretical implications of the study for debates on class
and gender and its implications for feminist politics.

Why do fashion houses pay exorbitant rents for retail space in
London and New York from which they sell very few clothes? Why are
some mothers happy to buy and sell children's clothes from charity
shops and thrift stores while others insist on the latest brand
names for their children? What does the commercial success of men's
lifestyle magazines tell us about contemporary gender relations and
identities? This book provides answers to these and other questions
about contemporary commercial culture through historically
specific, theoretically informed, empirically grounded
interdisciplinary research.
From shopping malls, supermarkets, and fashion retailers, through
the marketing and consumption of food, books and magazines, to sex
pics on the internet, contributors overturn the assumption that it
is commerce that works by logical economic models while 'culture'
is invoked to explain the behaviour of the irrational consumer. In
proposing a new agenda for understanding the complex relationship
between commerce and culture, the book focuses on the point of
articulation between commercial enterprises, which are designed to
sell goods, and consumers, who purchase goods, to arrive at a
broader understanding of the commercial cultures within which both
enterprises and consumers operate.
Spanning history, geography, business studies, sociology and
anthropology, contributors work in a positive and complementary
fashion to give the kinds of insights into the economies, practices
and spaces of commercial culture that single disciplines rarely
achieve.

Ethics and Law for the Health Professions is a cross-disciplinary
medico-legal book, the first edition of which was widely used in
the medical world. We believe it is also of immense use to the
legal world when grappling with medico-legal issues. Its special
features are its focus on a clinically-relevant approach and its
recognition that health care professionals are often confronted
with legal and ethical issues simultaneously. Health professionals
have to satisfy both, and their legal advisers need to be aware of
the dilemmas this can present. This book is careful to distinguish
between ethics and law. Its chapters take account of all the health
professions and their differing responsibilities, and the book
covers a very wide range of the issues they face.
