William Dampier, (1651-1715), was an English adventurer and pirate
who preyed on ships on the Spanish Main. Poor and ill-educated and
determined to make his fortune, he nonetheless had a passion for
exploration and scientific research. Dampier was the first to map
the winds and currents of the world's oceans; led the first
recorded party of Englishmen to set foot on Australia - 80 years
before Cook; wrote about Galapagos wildlife 150 years before
Darwin, who drew on Dampier's notes in his own work; was the first
travel writer: A NEW VOYAGE AROUND THE WORLD was instant bestseller
when it was published in 1697 - said to have influenced the novels
of Swift and Defoe. A man full of contradictions: he who achieved
so much 'blew it' later in life, declining into scandal, failure
and even farce. A unique man ahead of his time, he lived a large
part of his life among pirates yet managed to preserve what
Coleridge called his "exquisite refinement of mind". A classic
example of the best narrative history.

Many social workers, health care staff and teachers maintain high
standards of professionalism, often in stressful and challenging
circumstances. However, research also reveals instances where
individual practitioners and managers, or whole organisations, fail
to act lawfully, ethically and/or carefully. This book addresses
just those instances by providing guidance on how to maintain
accountable professionalism in tricky what if? situations. Dilemmas
are explored using case studies and the mosaic of legal rules and
regulatory body requirements for accountable professionalism are
also laid out.
The book will appeal to students and newly qualified
practitioners in teaching, health and social work and their
managers."
Moor Green Football Club turned 100 years old on September 17,
2001. Six years and a devastating fire later, the historic club,
based since 1930 in the suburb of Hall Green, six miles to the
south of Birmingham, was consigned to history. The Moors competed
in the Dr Martens Southern League at the time of the club's
centennial and had risen to the Conference North, two promotions
shy of the Football League, by the final season. During the prior
one-hundred years, Moor Green graced many different leagues with
varying degrees of success. What can be said with confidence is
that the name Moor Green has been held in high esteem throughout
English amateur and semi-professional football and, for a period of
time, in Europe as well. This reputation was achieved through the
efforts of many fine players backed by hard-working committee men
who made selfless efforts to keep the club going through both good
times and bad. This is their story.
"Pierre Julien: Sculptor to Queen Marie-Antoinette" is a scholarly
study of the artist (1731-1804) who rose from humble beginnings,
the son of an illiterate carpenter, to become professor at the
Paris Academie and director of the sculptural decoration at
Marie-Antoinette's dairy at Rambouillet (1785-87), a surprise gift
from Louis XVI. A moderate during the Revolution, Julien became one
of the original members of the Institut National (1795). He
executed life-size marble statues, part of the Great Men series,
small works in terra cotta, and mythological figures such as
Ganymede, Narcissus, and Cupid. His masterpieces are Amalthea, or
Girl with Goat, the centerpiece at Rambouillet, and two statues in
the Louvre: the Dying Gladiator, his reception-piece to the
Academie, and Jean de La Fontaine, a statue of the author of
Fables.
The first major study of Pierre Julien in a hundred years,
"Pierre Julien: Sculptor to Queen Marie-Antoinette" celebrates the
200th anniversary of the sculptor's death and coincides with the
exhibition in Le Puy, France (Spring 2004). This volume is
indispensable to art historians and anyone interested in the
colorful period in French history between the age of Louis XV and
the rise of Napoleon.
This book is an essential introduction to the values, knowledge and
skills required for working with different groups in different
social work and social care settings. Accessible and comprehensive,
this classic text will continue to be invaluable for students and
practitioners in social work and the caring professions wanting to
learn more about this key practice technique.
Seventeenth-century pirate genius William Dampier sailed around
the world three times when crossing the Pacific was a major feat,
was the first explorer to visit all five continents, and reached
Australia eighty years before Captain Cook. His exploits created a
sensation in Europe. Swift and Defoe used his experiences in
writing "Gulliver's Travels" and "Robinson Crusoe." Darwin
incorporated his concept of "sub-species" into the theory of
evolution. Dampier's description of breadfruit was the impetus for
Captain Bligh's voyage on the "Bounty." He was so influential that
today he has more than one thousand entries in the Oxford English
Dictionary, including such words as chopsticks, barbecue, and
kumquat. Anthropologists still use his work.

What does the law require of social workers when deciding how to
intervene to protect children and adults at risk? What social work
standards should guide decisions about whether, when and how to
invoke statutory powers and duties in practice? Making Good
Decisions provides an accessible and practical guide to the legal
rules and principles that should guide everyday social work
practice. It sets out the key elements of administrative law,
equality and human rights legislation which shape how social
workers practise and illustrates how knowledge and use of legal
principles can support core social work goals, including
empowerment, equality and social justice. An invaluable reference
point for all students and practitioners, this book will support
and empower social workers to feel more confident in making and
challenging decisions, more credible when presenting assessments
and plans, and more creative when working with service users and
carers. The text is supported by a range of innovative features and
boxed information to aid learning and stimulate reflection: - Key
Case Analysis boxes summarise the details of particular legal cases
and outline the implications for social work practice. - Practice
Focus boxes apply legal principles and processes to practice
through the use of social work scenarios. - On-The-Spot Questions
reinforce understanding and encourage critical reflection.
This handbook provides guidance for all practising social work
professionals, and the staff who support them, on the
post-qualifying (PQ) framework for social workers. The book
introduces the framework and outlines how post-qualification
accreditation and professional registration affect social workers.
Covering the theory and practice of social work, the Handbook
provides a set of tools and resources that enable social workers to
develop their practice while coping with the demands of operational
duties. The book looks at working with a range of service user
groups such as children, people with learning disabilities and
young offenders, as well as examining common issues that social
workers may encounter, such as inter-agency work, and issues such
as loss and participation. Tackling the increased
post-qualification training necessitated by the new framework, this
handbook contains resources and materials to help practitioners
continue their own professional development. This definitive guide
is an invaluable resource for all practising qualified social
workers, students and trainers, and educators. Consultant editor:
Robert Adams is Professor of Social Work in the School of Health
and Social Care at the University of Teesside, UK.
