sidottu
Edward Aitken-Davies (1899-1981) served as an Education Control Officer in the British Zone of occupied Germany from the early summer of 1945 until December 1949. He thus experienced the implementation of policy in the Zone from the very beginnings of the occupation until the founding of the Federal Republic of German y in 1949. During the period 1945 to 1947 he wrote weekly letters home to his mother. Those letters, together with the many speeches he gave in Germany during his time as a leading British officer in the Hanover region have not hitherto been available to researchers but can now be made accessible in edited form. The letters are placed in the context of developments in British policy and with explanatory notes on the detail. Taken together, his letters and other documents provide insights into the day-to-day lives of the impressive group of individuals who oversaw the development of education in Germany from post-war chaos to the reform and stability which restored the education system of the country to a pre-eminent status in Europe.

Augmenting Public Relations examines how existing technologies used in Public Relations (PR) are being significantly augmented because of the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The book describes the opportunities and pitfalls of AI, recent and emerging technologies, and projections in their development, offering an introduction to practitioners on how they, too, can create their own AI-enhanced tools.The developments in augmented, virtual and meta-reality, aided by AI, have now become serious contenders for commercial communication, and the ability to harness this visual capability is explained in some detail. As is the ability for practitioners to automatically monitor and feed websites using Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). The book also considers computer games as a form of communication, and the evolving application of games supported by AI. In recent years, the PR monitoring industry has deployed AI to search for content of interest to clients across a vast range of media. It throws up huge amounts of data to be managed. The book explores how such resources can be harnessed for intelligence gathering and activity deployment in easy-to-understand language. The book also covers a range of other activities from ‘brain to computer communication’ to chatbots, including applications used by the Internet of Things, Security Issues and Crisis Management, and the crucial subject of Ethics.Examining a range of new practices for the PR industry, and covering both principles and applications, this book will be of great value to students, academics and practitioners alike.

Educating the Germans examines the role of the British in the 'reconstruction' of education in occupied Germany from 1945 to 1949. It covers war-time planning for a future role in overseeing education at all levels in Germany, looks at policy and its implementation, describes the British personnel involved and their interaction with German authorities, and assesses the lasting effects of the British effort in securing the future development of education from Kindergarten to university in the emerging Federal Republic.Thoroughly researched and employing a wide range of sources in Britain and Germany, this is an important study for anyone looking to further their understanding of Germany, and Britain's relationship with Germany in the immediate post-war era.
Over the past two hundred years German education policy and practice has attracted interest in England. Policy makers have used the 'German example' both to encourage change and development and to warn against certain courses of action. This monograph provides the first major analysis of the rich material from government reports (including work by Matthew Arnold), the press, travel accounts, memoirs, scholarly publications and the archives to uncover the nature of the English fascination with education in Germany, from 1800 to the end of the twentieth century. David Phillips traces this story and uses recent work in theories of educational policy 'borrowing' to analyze the reception of the German experience and its impact on the development of English education policy.
