The English Rural Community
This book examines the English rural community, past and present, in its variety and dynamism. The distinguished team of contributors brings a variety of disciplinary perspectives to bear upon the central issues of movement and migration; the farm family and rural labour force; the development of contrasting rural communities; the portrayal of rural labour in both 'high' and popular culture; the changing nature of religious practice in the English countryside; the rural/urban fringe, and the spread of notions of a rural English arcadia within a predominantly urban society. Fully illustrated with accompanying maps, paintings and photographs, The English Rural Community provides an important and innovative overview of a subject where history, myth and debate are inseparably entwined. A full bibliography will assist a broad range of general readers and students of social history, historical geography and development studies approaching the subject for the first time, and the whole should establish itself as the central analytical account in an area where image and reality are notoriously hard to unravel.
Violence in Schools
This publication reviews the highlights of "Local partnerships for preventing and combating violence in schools" conference 2-4 December 2002, Strasbourg (France). The conference discarded repression altogether as a means of curbing violence in schools. Instead, discussion focused on mediation, intercultural dialogue, early warning systems, prevention programmes at primary school level, and above all, on respect for the human rights of both the victim and the defender.
Addressing Pupil's Behaviour

Violence à l'école
Violence à l'école - Un défi pour la communauté locale passe en revue les points saillants de la Conférence du Conseil de l'Europe sur les partenariats locaux pour la prévention et la lutte contre la violence à l'école (décembre 2002). La conférence a catégoriquement écarté la répression comme moyen de maîtriser la violence à l'école. les débats ont été centrés, au contraire, sur la médiation ; le dialogue interculturel, les systèmes de préalerte, les programmes de prévention à l'école primaire et surtout le " respect des droits de l'homme " garanti aux victimes comme aux délinquants. Cette réunion a fait passer un message clair : d'une part, la prévention doit être axée sur l'éducation, et d'autre part, les établissements scolaires doivent s'ouvrir sur l'extérieur et lancer, en partenariat avec les acteurs de la communauté locale, dont la police, des initiatives qui prennent en compte les caractéristiques et les facteurs environnementaux de la collectivité en question.
Hello Again...
14th November 2012 marks the 90th anniversary of the BBC's first ever broadcast and the beginning of the British love affair with radio. This book takes as its starting point those early, tentative programmes broadcast from Marconi House on the Strand, and follows the story of those magical radio voices through the years of economic depression, war, and austerity, to the swinging sixties and up to the digital era. Above all, it celebrates the great, the forgotten, and the notorious voices of radio from the last nine decades, and the programmes they made famous.
Being David Archer
'Hilarious' Mail on Sunday 'Stylish, very funny memoir' Daily Mail Timothy Bentinck has played the part of David Archer in BBC Radio 4's The Archers since 1982. He is also the Earl of Portland and the voice of 'Mind The Gap' on the Piccadilly Line. Aimed primarily at the five million regular Archers listeners, Timothy takes the reader behind the scenes of the longest running drama series in the world, a British institution with a theme tune that Billy Connolly wants to be the National Anthem. But that's not all. With wry, self-deprecating humour, Timothy recounts his enormously varied life - a successful actor in TV, film and theatre, a voice specialist working in every vocal medium. He's also been an HGV truck driver, a US tour guide, a computer programmer and website designer, an inventor with UK and US patents, farm worker, house renovator and he sat as a crossbencher in the House of Lords for three years. Unlike many acting memoirs, this isn't a succession of thespian tales of freezing digs, forgotten lines and name dropping. This is an articulate, funny and thoughtful account of how to survive an insecure life.
