The theme of warfare as a collective enterprise investigated in the
theatres of both land and sea. From warhorses to the men-at-arms
who rode them; armies that were raised to the lords who recruited,
led, administered, and financed them; and ships to the mariners who
crewed them; few aspects of the organisation and logistics ofwar in
late medieval England have escaped the scholarly attention, or
failed to benefit from the insights, of Dr Andrew Ayton. The
concept of the military community, with its emphasis on warfare as
a collective social enterprise, has always lain at the heart of his
work; he has shown in particular how this age of warfare is
characterised by related but intersecting military communities,
marked not only by the social and political relationships within
armies and navies, but by communities of mind, experience, and
enterprise. The essays in this volume, ranging from the late
thirteenth to the early fifteenth century, address various aspects
of this idea. They offer investigations of soldiers' and mariners'
equipment; their obligations, functions, status, and recruitment;
and the range and duration of their service. Gary P. Baker is a
Research Associate at the University of East Angliaand a Researcher
in History at the University of Groningen; Craig L. Lambert is
Lecturer in Maritime History at the University of Southampton;
David Simpkin teaches history at Birkenhead Sixth-Form College.

In the first ever book on the Agreements of the People, the essays
explore the origins, impact and legacy of the attempt to settle the
nation by a written constitution at the height of the English
Revolution. The volume sheds new light on the Levellers, the army,
the nature of civil war radicalism and the fragmentation of the
Parliamentarian cause.
Injury is recognized as a major public health issue worldwide. In
most countries, injury is the leading cause of death and disability
for children and young adults age 1 to 39 years. Each year in the
United States, injury claims about 170,000 lives and results in
over 30 million emergency room visits and 2.5 million
hospitalizations. Injury is medically defined as organ/tissue
damages inflicted upon oneself or by an external agent either
accidentally or deliberately. Injury encompasses the undesirable
consequences of a wide array of events, such as motor vehicle
crashes, poisoning, burns, falls, and drowning, medical error,
adverse effects of drugs, suicide and homicide. The past two
decades have witnessed a remarkable growth in injury research, both
in scope and in depth. To address the tremendous health burden of
injury morbidity and mortality at the global level, the World
Health Organization in 2000 created the Department of Injury and
Violence Prevention, which has produced several influential reports
on violence, traffic injury, and childhood injury. The biennial
World Conference on Injury Control and Safety Promotion attracts a
large international audience and has been successfully convened
nine times in different countries. In the United States, the
National Center for Injury Prevention and Control became an
independent program of the federal Centers for Disease Prevention
and Control in 1997. Since then, each state health department has
created an office in charge of injury prevention activities and
over a dozen universities have established injury control research
centers. This volume will fill an important gap in the scientific
literature by providing a comprehensive and up-to-date reference
resource to researchers, practitioners, and students working on
different aspects of the injury problem and in different practice
settings and academic fields.
The Agreements of the People were a series of written constitutions
proposed variously by Levellers, soldiers and citizens for the
settlement of the nation at the height of the English Revolution.
The essays in this book explore the various Agreements in the
context of the constitutional crisis that engulfed England in the
late 1640s and 1650s.
Winner of the 2017 Award for Significant Research on International
Higher Education (CIHE/ASHE) Winner of the 2018 American Publishers
Awards for Professional & Scholarly Excellence: Education
Theory In The Century of Science, a multicultural, international
team of authors examine the global rise of scholarly research in
science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and health (STEM+)
fields. This insightful text provides historical and sociological
understandings of the ways that higher education has become an
institution that, more than ever before, shapes science and
society. Case studies, supported by the most historically and
spatially extensive database on STEM+ publications available, of
selected countries in Europe, North America, East Asia, and the
Middle East, emphasize recurring themes: the institutionalization
and differentiation of higher education systems to the
proliferation of university-based scientific research fostered by
research policies that support continued university expansion
leading to the knowledge society. Growing worldwide, research
universities appear to be the most legitimate sites for knowledge
production. The chapters offer new insights into how countries
develop the university-based knowledge thought fundamental to
meeting social needs and economic demands. Despite repeated
warnings that universities would lose in relevance to other
organizational forms in the production of knowledge, these findings
demonstrate incontrovertibly that universities have become more-not
less-important actors in the world of knowledge. The past hundred
years have seen the worldwide triumph of the research university.

Britain's emergence as one of Europe's major maritime powers has
all too frequently been subsumed by nationalistic narratives that
focus on operations and technology. This volume, by contrast,
offers a daring new take on Britain's maritime past. It brings
together scholars from a range of disciplines to explore the
manifold ways in which the sea shaped British history,
demonstrating the number of approaches that now have a stake in
defining the discipline of maritime history. The chapters analyse
the economic, social, and cultural contexts in which English
maritime endeavour existed, as well as discussing representations
of the sea. The contributors show how people from across the
British Isles increasingly engaged with the maritime world, whether
through their own lived experiences or through material culture.
The volume also includes essays that investigate encounters between
English voyagers and indigenous peoples in Africa, and the
intellectual foundations of imperial ambition.
This volume of International Perspectives on Education and Society
highlights the valuable role that educational policy plays in the
development of education and society around the world.
The role of policy in the development of education is crucial.
Much rests on the decisions, support, and most of all resources
that policymakers can either give or withhold in any given
situation. The eleven chapters in this volume present persuasive
arguments that the internationalization of educational policy has a
wide and irreversible effect on schooling and society around the
world. Indeed, educational policy is intricately woven into the
development of societies.
Chapters range from empirical investigations of educational
policies impact on national schooling trends to narrative histories
of policy-important multilateral organizations and professional
societies. In addition to the editors, the contributors include
Sheng Y. Cheng, Holger Daun, Diane G. Gal, Stephen P. Heyneman, W.
James Jacob, Nancy O. Kendall, Veronica Martini, Mary Ann Maslak,
Diane B. Napier, Jordan Naidoo, and David N. Wilson.
