Doubts and Certainties
Lord Dainton, known throughout his life as Fred, was the ninth child of a Sheffield stonemason. A lifelong advocate of higher education, he became Professor of Chemistry in Leeds and Oxford, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Nottingham during the period of radical student unrest, and Chairman of the University Grants Committee. In retirement, as Chairman of the British Library Board, he persuaded Mrs Thatcher to authorise construction of the new u500 million building for the British Library at St Pancras. He died in 1997, just as the Library opened to the public. In this memoir, written in the last two years of his life, Fred discusses the nature and organisation of education and research, dealing with ethical issues as well as policies and practicalities. He offers shrewd glances below the waterline of government and the establishment, with a veritable roll-call of famous names and a wealth of anecdote to enthuse the scientist, social historian and general reader alike."

Education Reform and the Quest for Excellence
This book investigates and analyses critical issues in education reform and discusses possible pitfalls in the current global drive to promote excellence. Instead of documenting the successes and frustrations encountered by education reformers in specific jurisdictions, this book aims to offer directions for education reformers, and sets out to be prescriptive rather than descriptive. While the cases covered here are focused on Hong Kong, they are no less useful in throwing light upon the direction of education reform all over the world. The first section of the volume, “Conceptual Framework”, provides the theoretical underpinnings for the design and implementation of education reform. T...
The History of the University of East Anglia, Norwich
The University of East Anglia at Norwich was one of a number of new universities founded in Britain in the 1960s in response to the need to increase the provision for higher education. Remarkable for its architecture, primarily by Denys Lasdun, and for its superb Sainsbury Art Collection, its history is a telling commentary on the opportunities and problems faced by British universities over the last forty years. The History of the University of East Anglia Norwich is a full account of UEA's foundation, growth and distinctive character. Michael Sanderson highlights both the university's successes and failures, at the same time painting a picture of life, teaching and research on the campus. By examining the real problems faced by a leading British university, he has provided an important contribution to British educational history.
