The Idea of Education
This book represents a ‘position statement’ from the intellectually vibrant and challenging debate that emanated from the inaugural conference project launch entitled 'The Idea of Education' held at Mansfield College, Oxford in July 2002. The book conveys a wide spectrum of views about 'the idea of education' in recognition of the fact that 'the idea' is not as straightforward as it may appear on the surface. It seems the universities are not alone in this apparent uncertainty of definition. Further Education seems equally nonplussed as regard its purpose or raison d'être. Furthermore, even for those within the sector, it appears to be a point of much contention as to where Further Education ends and Higher Education begins. The book is divided into three main sections: The Current Structures of Education, Issues within Contemporary Education and The Ambitions of Education. The chapters wrestle, sometimes at variance with each other, with the paradoxes and concerns felt by each writer grappling with the idea of education.

Creating a Learning Society?
Lifelong learning is a key government strategy - both in the UK and internationally - to promote economic growth and combat social exclusion. This book presents a highly innovative study of participation in lifelong learning and the problems which need to be overcome if lifelong learning policies are to be successful. It: provides a systematic analysis, based on innovative empirical research, of the social and economic realities which actually determine patterns of participation in lifelong learning; shows what the factors are that shape people's participation, or their decision not to participate; offers new insights into the processes of lifelong learning, which have important implications for the development of more effective policies.
De houtsnip
Het 24e deel in de succesvolle vogelserie van Atlas Contact, het leven van een prachtige bosvogel met een kenmerkend lange, rechte snavel: De houtsnip De houtsnip is perfect gecamoufleerd, waardoor hij nauwelijks opvalt tussen de afgevallen bladeren op de grond. Bij gevaar rekent de vogel tot het laatst toe op zijn camouflagekleuren en drukt zich op de grond. Pas als je, als achteloze wandelaar, bijna op ’m stapt vliegt hij op, de wandelaar ondertussen een hartverzakking bezorgend. De houtsnip is een wat plompe vogel, ongeveer zo groot als een duif, met een kenmerkend lange, rechte snavel, waarmee hij diep de grond in komt om regenwormen te vangen. Verder valt deze bosvogel op door zijn relatief korte poten en grote ogen. Aan dit laatste kun je zien dat het eigenlijk een nachtdier is. De houtsnip is beroemd vanwege zijn baltsvluchten waarbij hij knorrend en niesend zigzaggend tussen en over de bomen vliegt. Omdat houtsnippen slecht recht voor zich uit kunnen zien, knallen ze tijdens de najaarstrek nogal eens tegen ramen en muren op; houtsnippen zijn daarom helaas ook geziene gasten in vogelhospitalen. De houtsnip is het 24e deel in de succesvolle Vogelserie van Atlas Contact.
