School Shit
Kevin candidly presents the highs and lows of a teaching career spanning four decades, and gives useful advice on how to motivate children to learn. The book is intended to appeal to practising professionals, anyone considering teaching as a career and those with an interest in what goes on behind school doors. Kevin's style relies heavily on humour, particularly when recalling children's mischievous natures. The fun element is being systematically squeezed out of learning and teaching. Fear of failure underpins the ethos of many of our schools. Children and teachers too often find themselves operating in a stifling educational culture that prioritises performance data. Educational success is defined by the measurable. Child-centred education has become an anachronism. The case is argued that individual children and their unique talents and abilities matter. Radical changes to school practices are advocated if our institutions are to do justice to school populations of the future.

Frankencrayon
Ingenuity and surprise rule in this funny and colorful companion to Red: A Crayon’s Story written and illustrated by Michael Hall, the New York Times–bestselling creator of My Heart Is Like a Zoo. The crayons are ready to tell the thrilling tale of Frankencrayon. The costumes are made, the roles are cast, the pages are all set—but then disaster strikes. Someone has scribbled on the page! Hideous! Horrifying! The story can’t go on! Try as they might, the crayons can’t erase the scribble, and this picture book must be canceled. Until the crayons playing the title role of Frankencrayon think of a solution, that is. Michael Hall breaks borders and invites readers behind the scenes with his irresistible, clever style and bold artwork. A book about seeing beauty in unexpected places and the magic of storytelling.

The Temptation
Why, beginning in the late 1960s, did expressive objects made by poor people come to be regarded as "twentieth-century folk art," increasingly sought after by the middle class and the wealthy? Julia Ardery explores that question through the life story of
Radclyffe Hall
The Well of Loneliness is probably the most famous lesbian novel ever written, and certainly the most widely read. It contains no explicit sex scenes, yet in 1928, the year in which the novel was published, it was deemed obscene in a British court of law for its defense of sexual inversion and was forbidden for sale or import into England. Its author, Radclyffe Hall, was already well-known as a writer and West End celebrity, but the fame and notoriety of that one book has all but eclipsed a literary output of some half-dozen other novels and several volumes of poetry. In Radclyffe Hall: A Life in the Writing Richard Dellamora offers the first full look at the entire range of Hall's published...
Community Relations and the Troubles in Northern Ireland
Community relations policy has been an almost permanent feature in Northern Ireland since 1969, yet it has rarely been considered as an object of study. This book provides historical depth to its analysis, by documenting the various manifestations of the notion of community relations in public policy during the Troubles period. Drawing on a variety of written and oral primary and secondary sources, it offers a unique, rich perspective on the meaning and intent behind community relations policy at certain critical junctures. In addition, by examining this period through the lens of one policy, the book sheds light on important questions such as who intervened in policy-making during the conflict, who sought to influence the process and, eventually, who took the decisions. It also considers the varied roles played by community workers. This meticulous analysis reveals previously unknown aspects of the evolution of community relations policy and presents a compelling micro-history of policy-making and governance during the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
