This much-needed book examines the implications of the 'Every Child
Matters' (ECM) national and local framework for working with
children. It analyses the key issues from the perspective of the
different professions that make up the 'new children's workforce'
and explores interprofessional considerations. The book includes
practice issues and case examples from health, education, social
work, playwork, children's centres and early years, and considers
the opportunities and challenges presented by the current agenda.
It will be widely welcomed by tutors and practitioners alike,
enabling readers to make sense of the legislation and national
guidance, and to understand better the new agendas for children's
services. For more information visit:

This book examines the human consequences (individual, social,
cultural, and economic) of civil war and political repression in
Castilleja del Campo, a town in southern Spain with barely more
than 600 inhabitants today. The narrow geographical focus allows
for a coherent chronological narrative with relevance to current
public issues such as the unequal distribution of wealth, political
polarisation, the violation of human rights, government
surveillance of civilian populations, and extra-legal detentions,
torture and executions. The declarations of eyewitnesses are
complemented by personal documents, contemporary newspaper
accounts, and documents from the town's municipal archive and other
archives in the province of Seville. The work presents the events
from the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic in April 1931
onward from multiple points of view and analyses the interactions
among a gallery of characters: Republican and pro-Franco mayors and
councilmen; union leaders and affiliates; members of the
fascist-inspired Spanish Falange; the schoolteacher; the priest;
widows and orphans of the men who were shot; administrators and
managers of the estates of the nobles; shaved women paraded through
the streets; combatants; day labourers; civil guards; black
marketeers; prisoners. Placing these characters and events in their
provincial, regional, and national context, the town becomes a
microcosm that reflects the experience of Spain during those
traumatic years. Published in association with the Canada Blanch
Centre for Contemporary Spanish Studies.

"The book's called PREDICATION 2012 because this is the starting
point for a potential shift in human consciousness." "Surely," Jean
wonders as she snoops around Professor Murray's office," a Nobel
Prize winner could choose a more illustrious post? Why not one in
Paris, New York or even in London?" Predication 2012 was inspired
by Mayan end date, 21 December 2012. This also marked the end of
the Sun's 26,000 year journey around the galaxy to the centre of
the Milky Way where it lined-up with a black hole. The effects of
this alignment - regarded by many as 'The Shift' - have begun. They
are invisible but potent. Can we raise our vibrations sufficiently
to save the earth and ourselves from disaster? Jean is Hygiene
Director for the new Science Block of Birmingham University, headed
by Ethan Murray, an American professor who recently won a Nobel
Prize for his work on telepathy. But why is the new professor so
fascinated by Jean? He is not the only one. Charismatic Stewart
Richanti controls the media and has built a glamorous 'Ark for
Armageddon' in the Middle East. He invites the wealthy and the
lucky to Oasis, where the 'unlucky' - dead or alive - will serve
them. Richanti has a keen eye on Jean. He knows that Jean holds a
crucial key to the meaning of The Shift! As the book moves from
biographical narrative into a fast-paced sci-fi thriller, moments
of zany comedy side with others of knuckle-whitening tension. The
reader joins a race against time to turn the tables on those who
would turn us into puppets... or compost.
