awareness and fulfilment as you go about your everyday activities.

life-enhancing theme a month for you to focus on. This year's
themes range from Growth, Self-Belief and Strength to Patience,
Simplicity and Letting Go. Focusing on just one theme for each

inspiration and awareness not just to be planted but also to grow
substantially, so that positive action can become an integral part
of daily life. Each week-to-view spread features an inspiring
quote that encourages reflection on the month's theme and an
exercise to further your overall wellbeing. The combination
of uplifting illustrations and engaging content will appeal not
only to those who use the diary year after year but also to new
users looking for something beautiful and inspirational.Â
First published in 1975, this book offers a critique of some of the
'new perspectives' in the sociology of education. This is achieved
through a case study of a progressive child centred school. The
book suggests that a liberal approach to education fails to
appreciate how thoroughly a complex, stratified industrial society
penetrates the school. It argues that the practice of 'progressive'
education may be a modern form of conservativism and an effective
form of social control both in the narrow sense of achieving
classroom discipline and in the wider sense of contributing to the
promotion of a static social order. It cautions against naive
utopian solutions which see the freedom and self-development of the
child as an individualized process, unrelated to a social context
which may undermine the ideals of freedom and spontaneous
self-development. In addition to offering a study of the
implementation of the 'open' approach to child development and
pedagogy, the book can also be read as a piece of critical
sociology, intended to make the reader look again at the way in
which problems have been generated and solutions proposed within
sociology and education.
First published in 1980, this book argues that a theory of ideology
is essential to a theory of education. It relates developments in
the Marxist theory of ideology to the analysis of schooling in a
capitalist society. Beginning with an appraisal of the early
twentieth century liberal social theorists, including Weber,
Durkheim, Veblen and Mannheim, it demonstrates that the weakness of
their approaches arose from a failure to comprehend adequately the
nature of capitalism. It then outlines the state of the theory of
ideology at the time and applies the concept in an analysis of
contemporary schooling, concluding with a discussion of its
political implications. The application of the theory of ideology
offers important possibilities for a radical socialist strategy on
education.
