The rapid expansion of higher education provision, particularly
in Europe and North America during the 1960s opened up for the
first time the question whether everyone should have the
opportunity to experience the benefits of higher university and
other institutions. The contributors are economists, sociologists
and politicians and all have different assumptions, commitments and
postures.
This series of edited papers, originally published in 1982,
examines Britain's industrial and commercial performance in the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries against the background of the
development of state education. The performance of certain key
nineteenth-century manufacturing industries is analysed and the
reasons for their relative decline in the face of foreign
competition is assessed. Further, the title examines the present
and future of British industry contending that the British Malaise
is a disease of industrial dyslexia, the inability to match the
industrial problems of the real world with variable industrial
objectives and performance.
Catholic Sexual Pathology and the Western Mind: The Early Medieval
Era, Vol. 2 continues to document the correlation between Catholic
sexual orthodoxy and Catholic sexual pathology. In 380 A.D. the
Christian Church became the official religion of the Roman state
government. The Catholic Church became the reincarnation of the
Western Roman Empire (27 B.C.—476 A.D.) as it adopted the
educational, medical, political, economic and military structures
to become the crux of the Roman church government. The Medieval
Catholic Church used pagan Greek, Roman and Persian sex negative
codes while rejecting Hebrew sex positive codes and "flawed" German
sex positive codes in establishing Catholic sexual orthodoxy. In
the thirteenth century under a papal reign of terror heretics,
Jews, witches, sodomites, prostitutes and lepers became targets of
hate across Medieval Catholic Europe. The Papal Inquisition
(1227–1500) intensified sexual repression and violence as the
cultural norms when it condemned human sexual pleasure and human
sexual love as evil. The papacy attempted to root out heresy which
represented liberal, human, scholarly and scientific thinking.
Heresy opposed church orthodoxy that kept the common people locked
in "mental and emotional chains" and prevented men and women from
living the authentic gospel of Jesus. Heretics were charged with
deviant human sexual behavior. The fascist papacy employed
Dominican and Franciscan priest-lawyers, most of whom had
double-doctorates in canon law and civil law (doctor utriusque
juris), to search across Europe in gestapo fashion for unorthodox
men and women who could be prosecuted, imprisoned, tortured and
burned. The Papal Inquisition, which placed mass fear, guilt, shame
and anxiety in the common people over human sexual thoughts, human
sexual emotions and human sexual behavior, reveals the veneer of
Catholic sexual pathology reinforced by Catholic institutional
pathology.
Catholic Sexual Pathology and the Western Mind: The Ancient Era,
Vol. 1 documents with historical and clinical data the correlation
between Catholic sexual orthodoxy and Catholic sexual pathology.
The Roman church government replaced the sex positive Hebrew
Tradition, which integrated the love of women and sex in Judaism
with a sex negative Christian Tradition, which integrated the
hatred of women and sex in church doctrine. Jesus followed the sex
positive holistic Hebrew Tradition rather than the sex negative
dualistic Christian Tradition. Across 2000 years of Christian
tradition Catholic sex negative doctrines, morals, laws and
practices enforced by an authoritarian rather than democratic Roman
church system allegedly caused mass human suffering and damage in
both the Catholic Mind and the Western Mind. Using a
multidisciplinary methodology the book traces a faulty sexual
anthropology historically and culturally rooted in various pagan
Greek, Roman and Persian sexual dualisms, which became Catholic
sexual orthodoxy and which became a terminal cancer in both the
Catholic Mind and the Western Mind. The book, while using extensive
resources and annotated endnotes, is an interdisciplinary
intellectual exercise, which examines Catholic sexual pathology
through the lens of history, theology, philosophy, law, medicine,
sexology, psychology, psychiatry, sociology and anthropology, while
using the scientific method.The book represents a pioneer effort
across a 50 year span to examine the review of literature and to
empirically document the mass human suffering and damage caused by
Catholic sexual orthodoxy in both the Catholic Mind and the Western
Mind.
First published in 1988, this book is built around the trio of

British Library and the Arts Council, and discuss the educational
roles that they adopt and how they set the national cultural
agenda. They also explor

Charlie Parker is an African Gray Parrot. He entered the life of
Debby and Michael Smith three decades ago when, at the insistence
of their young son, Eli, they brought him home from a downtown
Manhattan bird shop. He has been an integral, and voluble, member
of the family ever since. Charlie's vocabulary is astonishingly
diverse and colorful. He can be demanding, squawking imperiously
"Clean my cage" or "Want some water." He can be brutally direct,
warning an aggressive business associate who had been yelling at
Debby "I'm going to kick your ass, you sonofabitch." He can be
mischievous, making meowing noises to a neighbor's confused dog in
the elevator. Charlie is a survivor. He ended up recovering on an
IV after the collapse of the World Trade Center filled the Smiths'
apartment with toxic dust. He is often an entertainer, with a
songbook that extends across "Home on the Range" to "The Yellow
Rose of Texas." And most of the time he is affectionate, often
hanging upside down against the side of his cage and demanding to
be tickled. In encountering Charlie's tales in this concise and
charming book, we come to realize that parrots are intelligent and
loving creatures, to an extent that, as the renowned avian
scientist Professor Irene Pepperberg points out in her
introduction, they cannot meaningfully be owned by humans but only
enjoyed as companions.

As the UK enters a period of intense public introspection in the
wake of Brexit, this book takes on one of the key questions
emerging from the divisive process: what is Britain's place in the
world? The Middle East is one of the regions the UK has been most
engaged in historically. This book assesses the drivers of foreign
policy successes and failures and asks if there is a way to
revitalise British influence in the region, and if this is even
desirable. The book analyses the values, trade and security
concerns that drive the UK's foreign policy. There are separate
chapters on the non- Arab powers - Israel, Turkey and Iran - as
well as chapters on the Middle Eastern Arab states and regions
including the Gulf, Iraq, Egypt, and Syria and the Levant. The
contributions are from leading specialists in the field: Rosemary
Hollis, Michael Clarke, Ian Black, Bill Park, Christopher Phillips,
Sanam Vakil, Michael Stephens and Louise Kettle. They each explain
and re-assess the declining western influence and continued
instability in the region and what this means for the UK's
priorities and strategy towards the MENA. This is an essential book
for policy makers, journalists and researchers focused on foreign
policy towards the Middle East.
Contemporary Archipelagic Thinking takes as point of departure the
insights of Antonio Benitez Rojo, Derek Walcott and Edouard
Glissant on how to conceptualize the Caribbean as a space in which
networks of islands are constitutive of a particular epistemology
or way of thinking. This rich volume takes questions that have
explored the Caribbean and expands them to a global, Anthropocenic
framework. This anthology explores the archipelagic as both a
specific and a generalizable geo-historical and cultural formation,
occurring across various planetary spaces including: the
Mediterranean and Aegean Seas, the Caribbean basin, the Malay
archipelago, Oceania, and the creole islands of the Indian Ocean.
As an alternative geo-formal unit, archipelagoes can interrogate
epistemologies, ways of reading and thinking, and methodologies
informed implicitly or explicitly by more continental paradigms and
perspectives. Keeping in mind the structuring tension between land
and water, and between island and mainland relations, the
archipelagic focuses on the types of relations that emerge, island
to island, when island groups are seen not so much as sites of
exploration, identity, sociopolitical formation, and economic and
cultural circulation, but also, and rather, as models. The book
includes 21 chapters, a series of poems and an Afterword from both
senior and junior scholars in American Studies, Archaelogy,
Biology, Cartography, Digital Mapping, Enviromental Studies,
Ethnomusicology, Geography, History, Politics, Comparative Literary
and Cultural Studies, and Sociology who engage with Archipelago
studies. Archipelagic Studies has become a framework with a robust
intellectual genealogy.. The particular strength of this handbook
is the diversity of fields and theoretical approaches in the
Humanities, Social Sciences and Natural Sciences that the included
essays engage with. There is an editor's introduction in which they
meditate about the specific contributions of the archipelagic
framework in interdisciplinary analyses of multi-focal and
transnational socio-political and cultural context, and in which
they establish a dialogue between archipelagic thinking and network
theory, assemblages, systems theory, or the study of islands,
oceans and constellations.
The second edition of An Atlas of Foot and Ankle Surgery builds on
the success of the first, with an international selection of expert
contributors to represent the current practice of foot and ankle
surgery throughout the world. The material in this atlas is
presented according to how foot and ankle pathology is encountered
by most orthopaedic surgeons in their practice. Some chapters deal
with individual common procedures, such as the soft tissue
procedure for hallux valgus: in these, technical details and
variations of technique are presented. Other chapters deal with
diagnoses, such as metatarsalgia or cavus foot, and a number of
different surgical treatment options are described. The scope of
each chapter exceeds surgical instructions alone: the respective
pathology is detailed, as are diagnostic techniques and alternative
methods of treatment. The Atlas of Foot and Ankle Surgery should be
of interest not only to inexperienced specialist surgeons, but also
to the general orthopaedists and surgeon in training with an
interest in disorders of the foot and ankle.
