The Supreme Court decision that property owners may be entitled to
compensation for government regulations that deprive them of
reasonable use of their property has thrown the land-use field into
a state of turmoil. Will municipal land-use ordinances be found
excessive? What regulations can be considered a reasonable exercise
of police power for public health, safety, and welfare? Will
municipalities be liable for compensation to property owners if
development is restricted? How can municipalities and developers
plan in the wake of this decision? Ordinance provisions cover
components of subdivision regulation: general provisions,
definitions, administration, procedure, design and improvements,
off-tract improvements, and documents to be submitted. "The
Subdivision and Site Plan Handbook" provides a narrative on the
background, rationale, and intent of each requirement accompanying
the model ordinance; gives an overview of the history of
subdivision regulation in the United States; traces the evolution
of land-use regulation through various stages; and presents the
legal context for present-day regulation. The book has been
designed for use by government administrators, developers,
planners, attorneys, and others interested in land-use regulation.
The model ordinance represents the most current thinking about land
use and site control and responds to questions raised by the
Supreme Court decision. David Listokin and Carole Walker's analyses
are flexible, efficient, responsive to local conditions, and
balance regulatory costs and benefits. This is a definitive and
invaluable resource
This book is intended to serve as an up-to-date reference source

The best leaders lead by example, not by mandate. However, so much
leadership has become conscripted by neoliberal values. Educators
and politicians, who are increasingly making policy for educators,
have come to believe that standardized test scores are the same as
knowledge acquired, as if test scores actually measure knowledge as
opposed to information. Simply put, educational policy is no longer
being developed for educational purposes but education is
increasingly being manipulated as an experiment in social
engineering. Educational leaders are caught on the horns of a
dilemma - to follow and inscribe policies they do not agree with or
to "go rogue" and do what they know is needed. Leading under
Pressure is aptly titled, as there is significant pressure being
placed on school leaders at any stage in their careers. However, in
an otherwise increasingly hostile political, commercial and natural
environment, there are some rays of hope. For example, teachers
still know what it is that their students need and strive to
provide that, despite mandates that try to create consumers of us
all. This volume is divided into three sections, the first of which
seeks to explore social contexts of educational leadership. The
second section explores the experiences of a variety of educational
leaders in various contexts, while the third section of this volume
looks at some of the consequences, unintended and otherwise, of the
neoliberal commodification of education.
In the sixteenth century, the people of England witnessed the
physical transformation of their most valued buildings: their
parish churches. This is the first ever full-scale investigation of
the dramatic changes experienced by the English parish church
during the English reformation. By drawing on a wealth of
documentary evidence, including court records, wills and church
wardens' accounts, and by examining the material remains themselves
- such as screens, fonts, paintings, monuments, windows and other
artefacts - found in churches today, Robert Whiting reveals how,
why and by whom these ancient buildings were transformed. He
explores the reasons why catholics revered the artefacts found in
churches as well as why these objects became the subject of
protestant suspicion and hatred in subsequent years. This richly
illustrated account sheds new light on the acts of destruction as
well as the acts of creation that accompanied religious change over
the course of the 'long' reformation.

John Keats's classic volume of poetry, considered in the light of
the history of melancholyThis book examines John Keats's immensely
important collection of poems, Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St
Agnes, And Other Poems (1820), and is published in the volume's
bicentenary. It analyses the collection as an authorially organised
and multi-dimensionally unified volume rather than as a collection
of occasional poems. R. S. White argues that a guiding theme behind
the 1820 volume is the persistent emphasis on different types of
melancholy, an ancient, all-consuming medical condition and
literary preoccupation in Renaissance and Romantic poetry.
Melancholy was a lifelong interest of Keats's, touching on his
medical training, his temperament and his delighted reading in 1819
of Burton's The Anatomy of Melancholy.

The religious revolution known as the 'Reformation' must rank among
the most crucial and transforming events in English history. Yet
its original reception by the English people remains largely
obscure. Did they welcome the innovations - or did they resist? By
what internal motivations were their responses determined? And by
what external influences were their attitudes shaped? These are the
key issues explored by Robert Whiting in this major investigation,
based primarily on original research in the south-west. Dr
Whiting's controversial conclusion is that for most of the
population the Reformation was less a conversion from Catholicism
to Protestantism than a transition from religious commitment to
religious passivity or even indifference.
A detailed study of John Keats's classic volume of poetry published
in 1820 considered in the light of the history of melancholy First,
book-length critical study of John Keats's collection of poems,
Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St Agnes, And Other Poems (1820)
Considers the anthology as a poetically and thematically unified
collection, instead of the more usual method of analyzing the poems
in chronological order of writing Proposes that the main theme
running through the volume is melancholy, a very capacious medical
category extending back to ancient Greco-Roman writers, through the
Renaissance, and the subject of literary cults in the Romantic age

Beautiful and conceited Alicia Matcham leads us through an
intriguing web of deceit in search of a killer who is, bizarrely,
welcomed by her family. This exciting, gripping crime novel is full
of suspense and delivers a thrilling final twist. Saturday 10 June
1933, and one of Charles’s Whitten’s bridge players collapses
at the table, apparently from natural causes. Charles’s youngest
daughter Patty is convinced it’s murder and pleads with her
sister Alicia – a party girl with connections – to help
discover the truth. Their brother William is a penniless drunkard,
their mother ingenuous, Patty naïve, their father Charles all
bluff and bluster and then there is John the seductive butler. It
feels as though Alicia is in one of the new Agatha Christie
murders: there were four people in the card room, surely one must
be the murderer?
Tokyo Junkie is a memoir that plays out over the dramatic 60-year
growth of the megacity Tokyo, once a dark, fetid backwater and now
the most populous, sophisticated, and safe urban capital in the
world. Follow author Robert Whiting (The Chrysanthemum and the Bat,
You Gotta Have Wa, Tokyo Underworld) as he watches Tokyo transform
during the 1964 Olympics, rubs shoulders with the Yakuza and comes
face to face with the city’s dark underbelly, interviews
Japan’s baseball elite after publishing his first best-selling
book on the subject, and learns how politics and sports collide to
produce a cultural landscape unlike any other, even as a new
Olympics is postponed and the COVID virus ravages the nation. A
colorful social history of what Anthony Bourdain dubbed, “the
greatest city in the world,” Tokyo Junkie is a revealing account
by an accomplished journalist who witnessed it all firsthand and,
in the process, had his own dramatic personal transformation.
This book shows how critical theory can help school leaders and
administrators to prepare students for the ever-changing political,
cultural, economic, and societal conditions of the world. The
contributors use ideas from critical theorists including Adorno,
Fromm, Marcuse and Habermas and connect them with contemporary
theories and debates in educational leadership from moral education
to critical theories on race, to culturally relevant practice. The
book challenges the misconceptions of many present-day educators
about the analytical lens offered by the Frankfurt School theorists
which is often dismissed by policymakers and practitioners. Written
by leading scholars based in the UK, USA, and Canada, the
contributors emphasize and explain the importance of educational
aesthetics, dialectics, education and civilization, the structural
transformation of education’s place in the public sphere, and
education as revolution and enlightenment.
