Managing Pastoral Care
Pastoral care provision in schools has become increasingly marginalized in recent years. However, emphasis on the needs of the "whole learner" has become ever greater. Coupled with this is a growing recognition of theadverse effects of a wider social malaise on the development of students. This book stresses the need for a radical rethink and reprioritizing of pastoral support. It promotes the belief that pastoral care can contribute to and improve academic achievement, and analyzes every aspect of pastoral care and PSE.
Boys' Bodies
"Kehler and Atkinson's edited collection, Boys' Bodies, is a book that should be read by teachers, teacher educators, education policy makers and health professionals, given its impressive theoretical and empirical focus on how the embodiment of competing masculinities plays out in schools, with implications for all boys and their well-being, and for all those wishing to understand and address issues of physical inactivity and obesity in and through schooling."---Professor Bob Lingard, School of Education, University of Queensland --Book Jacket.
Becoming an Entrepreneur
Becoming an Entrepreneur: A Guide To Achieving Your Dream has been a work in progress for three year. As I leave one of my client’s office, there is learning and lessons that can be shared. Therefore the book is written in a format of stories of entrepreneurs striving to accomplish their vision and mission. Their businesses are growing and flourishing while at the same time facing challenges that all entrepreneurs must face in order to be successful. I have tried to provide the reader with critical success factors they must consider in becoming an entrepreneur. I have also ended each chapter with questions the reader needs to think about as they launch their business or take their business to the next level. So, as you read my book, put yourself in the shoes of these entrepreneurs and ask yourself, “How would I respond to their experiences?”

Changing Identities in Higher Education
In this timely and innovative book scholars from Europe, the UK, North America and Australia, explore their own sense of identity, reflecting both on their research and scholarly interests, and their work experiences. Taking the form of a debate, Changing Identities in Higher Education helps to widen the contemporary space for debates on the future of higher education itself. The book is split into three parts: part one presents a set of essays each on a set of identities within higher education (academic, student, administrative/managerial and educational developers). part two includes responses to Part one from authors speaking from their own professional and scholarly identity perspective part three illustrates perspectives on the identities of students, provided by students themselves. With its original, dialogic form and varied content, this book is of interest to all those concerned in current debates about the state and nature of higher education today and those interested in questions of identity. It makes especially useful reading for students of higher education, lecturers in training, academics and managers alike.
The Academic Citizen
With increasing focus on excellence in research and teaching, the service role of the individual academic is often neglected.

Drawing from extensive examples from models around the world, The Academic Citizen points to the benefits of effective communication with colleagues in the faculty, across the university and in corresponding faculties across the world, as well as those in maintaining positive associations with the wider world.
