The Book of the Dead
Written in response to the Hawk's Nest Tunnel disaster of 1931 in Gauley Bridge, West Virginia, The Book of the Dead is an important part of West Virginia's cultural heritage and a powerful account of one of the worst industrial catastrophes in American history. The poems collected here investigate the roots of a tragedy that killed hundreds of workers, most of them African American. They are a rare engagement with the overlap between race and environment in Appalachia. Published for the first time alongside photographs by Nancy Naumburg, who accompanied Rukeyser to Gauley Bridge in 1936, this edition of The Book of the Dead includes an introduction by Catherine Venable Moore, whose writing on the topic has been anthologized in Best American Essays.
Black Robinson
A greedy, vain and unscrupulous man bent on self-aggrandisment. This controversial study of George ('Black') Robinson, first Chief Protector of Aborigines in Australia, reveals a man long held to be the worthy civilizer and Christianizer of Tasmanian Aborigines to have been a monster of deceit and a betrayer of those it was his role to protect-a man who made perhaps the most repellent contribution of all to what was to become the decimation of Tasmania's Aborigines.

Ethical Problems in Higher Education
The Ivory Tower Myth suggests that the world of higher education has no moral problems. Unlike ethical conflicts in business, politics and medicine, ethical problems in higher education receive little publicity. But devotion to the pursuit of knowledge does not ensure ethical behavior. Power, competition, pressure and lust for recognition create moral conflicts. Some are unique to higher education but many are common to the world off-campus. This book uses ethical theories as a tool to analyze real examples from our colleges and universities. Topics include: academic freedom, plagiarism, cheating, research fraud, equal opportunity, evaluation, tenure, student-faculty relationships.

No Blame Approach
`I just wanted to tell you that we love the NO BLAME Approach! It has absolutely worked wonderfully' - Jennifer Thomas-Simmons, LCSW, Prevention Specialist, Office of Prevention Programs, Student Support Services 'The system is totally opposed to the traditional approach which looks to punishment to regulate pupils behaviour. As a systematic and rational approach to an ever pressing school problem, these materials are highly recommended and they deserve to succeed' - Education Review This video and accompanying INSET workbook have been developed from a successful, thought-provoking, school-based programme to deal with bullying. It asks staff to question existing practice, challenging the idea that support for victims or punishment of bullies will prevent future incidents. The video introduces a step-by-step, teacher-led initiative that we have found to be successful in many schools. Victims report that the bullying has stopped and the perpetrators, surprised that they are not being punished, express helpful attitudes and change their behaviour. The materials can be used for school-based in service training and development.
