Outrageous Fortune
Leeds Castle, once home to kings and queens, was a place of spectacular opulence and luxury, and it was here that Anthony Russell spent his childhood; a childhood beyond the reaches of ordinary imagination. Away from the extravagance, the embrace of his nanny and the strong but distant love of his mother, Anthony's childhood was often lonely and fraught with the pressures of upholding the 'Castle Way', unwritten rules that were, perhaps, not the best preparation for life outside the castle walls. The polite reserve of his sheltered existence was inevitably ruptured by the arrival of the 1960s, with its new music, mores, and social freedoms; things both alluring and alarming to a young man who had spent his youth in splendid isolation. Uniquely entertaining, Outrageous Fortune is an extraordinary memoir, an accessible and personable account of how the 'other half ' lives, and a real-life Downton Abbey. As he documents his life at Leeds Castle, Anthony Russell gives us a vivid and intimate glimpse into a fascinating world gone by.
Rethinking Class Size: The complex story of impact on teaching and learning
The debate over whether class size matters for teaching and learning is one of the most enduring, and aggressive, in education research. Teachers often insist that small classes benefit their work. But many experts argue that evidence from research shows class size has little impact on pupil outcomes, so does not matter, and this dominant view has informed policymaking internationally. Here, the lead researchers on the world’s biggest study into class size effects present a counter-argument. Through detailed analysis of the complex relations involved in the classroom they reveal the mechanisms that support teachers’ experience, and conclude that class size matters very much indeed. Drawi...

Maximising the Impact of Teaching Assistants
Teaching assistants have become an integral part of classroom life, yet pioneering research by the authors has shown that school leaders and teachers are not making the most of this valued resource. Results from the Deployment and Impact of Support Staff (DISS) project showed that the more support pupils received from teaching assistants, the less academic progress they made. Yet it is not decisions made by the teaching assistants themselves, but decisions made by school leaders and teachers about how their support staff are used and prepared, which explains these provocative results. Prompted by the wake-up call the DISS project findings provided, this timely book of guidance will help scho...
Between Two Flags
Between Two Flags tells the gripping story of the turbulent yet enduring and loving marriage of John Mitchel and Jenny Verner.

The King of UK Cocaine Smugglers
An inside story on how an elite team of Customs Investigators were able to disrupt the drug trafficking activities of various Organised Crime Groups, including one run by Brian Brendan Wright, who was undoubtedly the most prolific supplier of cocaine in UK history. It was an investigation without parallel in UK Drugs Law Enforcement and took six years to complete with assistance from police and customs in Ireland, The Caribbean, Mexico, Venezuela, Australia, France, South Africa and the USA. Eighteen offenders convicted world-wide and sentences totalling 245 years were imposed. A total of 494 kilos of cocaine were seized in the UK with a street value of £61 million. Five trials were conducted and one of them lasted 14 months- the second longest in UK legal history. The King of UK Cocaine Smugglers gives a thrilling account of the methods used to counteract the activities of drug smugglers and bring them to justice.
