Teen Spirits
Relating to both the practice of teaching media studies and also to theoretical questions within media and cultural studies, this study examines pop music, media studies and the micro-cultural politics of adolescence. It argues that media education has neglected pop music, and that, as something of enormous significance in the lives of young people, it merits a serious place in the field.; The author provides accounts of media studies in action, including detailed accounts of classroom discussions, interviews with students and teachers, examples of students' work and their biographical reflections. He links this to broader debates both within cultural studies and around the place of pop music in young people's lives.; "Teen Spirits" should be of interest to students of media and cultural studies, as well as to practicing teachers, and readers with an interest in questions of youth and identity.
True Love
Here are just a few of the messages that young people today are constantly exposed to: - You're missing out if you don't have sex. - Marriage is out of date. - Casual sex is OK. - Sex is the goal of a night-out. - Sex is all about me and my satisfaction. - Sex can be experienced without consequences. - There are no rights and wrongs in relationships, just what we prefer. - Sex is a means of securing love. This book shows these things to be the half-truths and lies that they are, and points young people to what the Bibles teaches. Singleness and marriage are shown to be God's gifts and 'going out' something that can be done in a God-honouring way. The temptations - pornography, masturbation, homosexuality and social networking - are discussed. There is practical pastoral help in a section 'What to do if you have made mistakes.' The authors are the founders of Lovewise, a charity which seeks to help schools and youth groups by providing presentations on the subjects of marriage, sex and relationships from a Christian perspective.
Scientific developments relating to the Abortion Act 1967
Given that abortion is a complex issue and that the Committee's remit is to examine scientific and technological issues, the Committee explicitly ruled out looking at ethical or moral aspects of abortion in the published terms of reference for their inquiry. Therefore, this report focuses on scientific and medical developments relating to the law on abortion, particularly developments since 1990, when evidence of improved outcomes for very premature neonates led to a reappraisal of the threshold of foetal viability and the reduction of the then 28 week limit on most abortions to the current 24 week limit. The report considers the key issues that have emerged and, where it is felt appropriate and justified, the Committee draws conclusions about what the science and medical evidence currently before us indicates. However, because it is recognised that science and medical evidence is only one of many factors that are taken into account when legislating on this issue, the Committee does not make any recommendations as to how MPs should vote on abortion law. A minority report, written by two Committee members, is included as formal minutes to the report.

Born to Run
A New York Times bestseller 'A sensation ... a rollicking tale well told' - The Times At the heart of Born to Run lies a mysterious tribe of Mexican Indians, the Tarahumara, who live quietly in canyons and are reputed to be the best distance runners in the world; in 1993, one of them, aged 57, came first in a prestigious 100-mile race wearing a toga and sandals. A small group of the world's top ultra-runners (and the awe-inspiring author) make the treacherous journey into the canyons to try to learn the tribe's secrets and then take them on over a course 50 miles long. With incredible energy and smart observation, McDougall tells this story while asking what the secrets are to being an incredible runner. Travelling to labs at Harvard, Nike, and elsewhere, he comes across an incredible cast of characters, including the woman who recently broke the world record for 100 miles and for her encore ran a 2:50 marathon in a bikini, pausing to down a beer at the 20 mile mark.
Diverse Educators
Structured around the Equality Act and written collaboratively, Diverse Educators: A Manifesto aims to capture the collective voice of the teaching community and to showcase the diverse lived experiences of educators.
Medical Nihilism
Medical nihilism is the view that we should have little confidence in the effectiveness of medical interventions. Jacob Stegenga argues persuasively that this is how we should see modern medicine, and suggests that medical research must be modified, clinical practice should be less aggressive, and regulatory standards should be enhanced.

How do books attract their readers? This collection takes a closer look at book covers and their role in promoting sales and shaping readers' responses. Judging a Book by Its Cover brings together leading scholars, many with experience in the publishing industry, who examine the marketing of popular fiction across the twentieth century and beyond. Using case studies, and grounding their discussions historically and methodologically, the contributors address key themes in contemporary media, literary, publishing, and business studies related to globalisation, the correlation between text and image, identity politics, and reader reception. Topics include book covers and the internet bookstore; the links between books, the music industry, and film; literary prizes and the selling of books; subcultures and sales of young adult fiction; the cover as a signifier of literary value; and the marketing of ethnicity and lesbian pulp fiction. This exciting collection opens a new field of enquiry for scholars of book history, literature, media and communication studies, marketing, and cultural studies.
