Concern for achieving Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015
has led to a focus on the role that non-state providers (NSPs) can
offer in extending access and improving quality of basic services.
While NSPs can help to fill a gap in provision to those excluded
from state provision, recent growth in both for-profit and
not-for-profit providers in developing countries has sometimes
resulted in fragmentation of service delivery. To address this,
attention is increasingly given in the education sector to
developing partnerships' between governments and NSPs. Partnerships
are further driven by the expectation that the state has the moral,
social, and legal responsibility for overall education service
delivery and so should play a role in facilitating and regulating
NSPs. Even where the ultimate aim of both non-state providers and
the state is to provide education of acceptable quality to all
children, this book provides evidence from diverse contexts across
Africa, South Asia, and Latin America to highlight the challenges
in them partnering to achieve this. This book was published as a
special issue of Development in Practice.
This book offers in-depth analyses of how education interacts with
social inequality in Southern contexts. Drawing on a range of
disciplinary frameworks, it presents new analyses of existing
knowledge and new empirical data which define the challenges and
possibilities of successful educational reform. It is a tribute to
the work of the late Christopher Colclough, who, as a leading
figure in education and international development, played a key
role in the global fight for education for all children. The book
critically engages with international evidence of educational
access, retention and outcomes, offering new understandings of how
social inequalities currently facilitate, mediate or restrict
educational opportunities. It exposes the continuing influence of
wealth and regional inequalities and caste and gendered social
structures. Researchers in Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Pakistan and
Uganda highlight how the aspirations of families living in poverty
remain unfilled by poor-quality education and low economic
opportunities and how schools and teachers currently address issues
of gender, disability and diversity. The book highlights a range of
new priorities for research and identifies some necessary
strategies for education reform, policy approaches and school
practice, if educational equality for all children is to be
achieved. The book will be of great interest to researchers,
scholars, educational practitioners and policy-makers in the fields
of economics, politics and sociology of education, international
education, poverty research and international development. Chapters

This lavishly illustrated book breaks new ground in focusing on
some of the many successful professional British women sculptors
active during this period. Largely unknown, the few women who have
been mentioned in histories of twentieth century British sculpture
have been those who adhered to the (masculine) Modernist canon.
Organized by theme this book explores and illustrates an unusually
large number of and stylistically varied works. The social and
cultural contexts in which these women sculptors were working are
investigated, revealing how, mostly male, commentators often
fixated on their gender at the expense of seriously engaging with
their work. A wide variety of sources are used, ranging from
contemporary art historical accounts to articles in popular
magazines. This book explores contemporary sculptural developments,
art school training, exhibiting opportunities, and the writings of
influential critics. It also reveals how important photography,
film and the written word were in the creation of reputations.
Alongside revealing important works and individuals, this book's
originality also lies in its scope, covering diverse sculptural
genres such as decorative sculpture and utilitarian objects for the
home and garden; portraits and statues; architectural sculpture,
war memorials and ecclesiastical work.

As a therapist, do you ever shake hands with a client? Do you ever
lightly touch a client's hand or shoulder as a conversational
marker? What happens if you inadvertently touch a client? Nonerotic
touch is a powerful form of communication, and research and
clinical experience indicate that it can contribute to positive
therapeutic change when used appropriately. This thoughtful book
brings together experienced clinicians to review the research and
to offer ethical, theoretical, and practical guidelines for using
nonerotic touch in therapy settings. Featuring extensive clinical
commentary and case examples, chapters address such topics as
evaluating a client's desire to be touched, working with survivors
of sexual abuse, the role of touch in regression and reparenting
approaches, communicating with clients about the use of touch, and
managing "touch errors."
Although a quintessentially English sculptor, Henry Moore
experienced outstanding success in the United States. A man much
admired and revered, he was the natural choice for corporate and
civil commissions, with many seeing ownership of his work as an
expression of rank and aspiring wealth. The fact that the United
States contains the greatest number of his sculptures, as opposed
to his home country, cannot simply be attributed to superior
spending power. Based on original sources, and containing many
previously unpublished images, Pauline Rose's book explores the
reasons for Moore's fame in America, and the construction of his
American persona. An autonomous, creative genius was a seductive
and popular idea for the Americans, a perception encouraged by the
photographs, films and writings of him in the press. The impact of
Moore's presence was likely even stronger precisely because he did
not fulfil the expected traits of either the modern artist or the
modern celebrity. Rose's work focuses on contextual factors
surrounding Moore's reception: political and economic imperatives
within the United Kingdom and the transatlantic Special
Relationship between the United Kingdom and America. Exploring the
ways in which Moore was presented to an American audience via text
and imagery and the influential network of his supporters which
spanned the two countries, this insightful book examines a range of
sculptural commissions in key American cities. His popularity is
likely to be related to the ambitions of politicians and
businessmen alike who perceived Moore's monumental sculptures as
expressions of citizenship and humanity, particularly against the
backdrop of the Cold War. This text is a valuable and innovative
addition to studies on Moore. It will be indispensable to all those
interested in twentieth century art history and cultural studies,
Anglo-American relations, and the vibrant relationship between text
and image.
