Charlie's A to Y: A dog's definitions in verse

Charlie's A to Y: A dog's definitions in verse

Helen M. Clarke

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2018
nidottu
A book for dipping into, this is a collection of 135 rhyming poems explaining the meanings of words from the point of view of a dog. Charlie is three quarters chihuahua and one quarter papillon. He has very definite ideas about life, and feels he possesses profound insight into the human condition. These definitions reflect Charlie's personal experience and perspective. He has no concept of rabbits and so there are no poems about rabbits. Similarly, he doesn't know any interesting words beginning with Z and so his alphabet ends with Y.

Vast Expanses

Vast Expanses

Helen M. Rozwadowski

Reaktion Books
2018
sidottu
Vast Expanses is a cultural, environmental and geopolitical history that examines the relationship between humans and oceans, reaching back across geological and evolutionary time and exploring different cultures around the globe. Our ancient connections with the sea have developed and multiplied with industrialization and globalization, a trajectory that runs counter to Western depictions of the ocean as a place remote from and immune to human influence. This book argues that knowledge about the ocean – discovered through work and play, scientific investigation, and also through the ambitions people have harboured for the sea – has played a central role in defining our relationship with this vast, trackless and opaque place. It has helped people exploit marine resources, control ocean space, extend imperial or national power, and attempt to refashion the sea into a more tractable arena for human activity. An understanding of the ocean has animated and strengthened connections between people and their seas. To comprehend this history we must address questions of how, by whom and why knowledge of the ocean was created and used, in both the past and the present; through this, we can forge a healthier relationship with the sea for the future.

Emile and Isaac Pereire

Emile and Isaac Pereire

Helen M. Davies

Manchester University Press
2016
nidottu
Emile (1800–75) and Isaac Pereire (1806–80) were pivotal and sensational figures, their lives and careers a lens through which to re-examine the history of France in the nineteenth century. Among the first generation of Jews emancipated by the French Revolution, they became significant Saint-Simonians, contributing to its philosophy of financial and economic reform. They were the first to implement the new rail technology in France and to launch the first investment bank of any size in Europe, the Crédit Mobilier. The Pereires ultimately came to stand behind banks and railways throughout Europe and in the Ottoman Empire. They were thus major players in France’s and Europe’s industrialisation and the modernisation of its banking system. This book is equally a social and cultural history of the Jews in France, addressing the means through which the Pereires managed their business empire and the contribution of family life to its success. It is their first full-scale biography in English.

After Jack Clapper's untimely death, his son Barry, and daughter-in-law, Felicity, remained under a cloud of suspicion. Jack had been very controlling and although he had promised to hand the Clapper's Cove farm over to his son one day, he still held the reins at age seventy-six. Felicity had also experienced issues with him. Felicity and Barry both had fertility problems, and although treated, they didn't have any children. When Barry died suddenly, three young people in their early twenties attended his funeral. They'd recently learned Barry was their biological father, but only Ken, who closely resembled Barry, revealed his identity to Felicity on the day of the funeral. The three half siblings didn't know of each other, and Barry died without knowing he'd fathered three children-Rose Louise, a motel manager; Ken, a farmer, and Luke, a landscape gardener. They were born to unrelated mothers in diverse circumstances and grew up in different towns. Each of them faced challenges growing up, as two of them were raised in single-parent families in an era when single mothers were expected to give up their babies for adoption. They met each other while in their early twenties, but they, at first, were unaware they share the same father. One by one, Felicity learned of their existence-a ready-made family she'd always longed to have who welcomed her into their lives. Romance flourished and resulted in three marriages. Felicity value-added to the Clapper's Cove farm by building holiday cottages for people with disabilities. When tragedy struck unexpectedly, the remaining half siblings learned of their relationship to Barry and provided family support to Felicity and one another. Eventually, Felicity and Barry were exonerated of any involvement in Jack Clapper's death when the circumstances were revealed publicly in a surprising way.

Consultants and Consultancy: the Case of Education

Consultants and Consultancy: the Case of Education

Helen M. Gunter; Colin Mills

Springer International Publishing AG
2017
sidottu
This book is a comprehensive study into and about consultants doing consultancy, and having influence in ways that generate concerns about an emerging ‘consultocracy’, with privileged access to governments and public services. It presents a detailed mapping of consultants and consultancy in education as a site of change and modernisation in public sector service provision. It considers consultancy at a macro-level of globalised policy, at a meso-level of national government policy, and at a micro level with vivid descriptions and analyses of consultants at work. The rapid rise of ‘edubusinesses’, combined with the restructuring of public services in western style democracies, has generated new types of ‘knowledge actors’ within education policy. Three main developments that have led to this change are: the entry of education policy and service consultants from within major companies into the public education market place; the emergence of ‘celebrity’ entrepreneurial actors and private businesses who make interventions into Universities and schools; and the rapid growth of small businesses based on individuals who have relocated their work from the public to the private sector. Such knowledge actors and the complexities they bring to public education are as yet under described and largely un-theorized. Based on current research and drawing upon a range of theoretical tools, this book fills the gap. Gunter and Mills provide an invaluable contribution to scholarship on the neoliberal restructuring of public education by mapping and analyzing the under-examined yet central role of corporate education consultants. Their thoughtful and thorough discussion expands our understanding of how consultants promote and trade in the ideologies of corporate culture. Gunter and Mills show how consultants are integral to both knowledge making practices in schools and a radical reform agenda for schools in the UK and around the globe. This is an accessible and important volume for not just policy and politics scholars but anyone concerned about defending public forms of education and associated living at a moment when they are increasingly being positioned for pillage by profiteers.
