The TurnAround ToolKit
Lynn Winters's and Joan Herman's The Turnaround Toolkit is written for school leaders who are focused on transforming instruction, and who may be working under significant time constraints to reverse declining student achievement or public perceptions of school failure. Based on the evidence that simply implementing “continuous improvement” is not enough to close the achievement gap, The Turnaround Toolkit provides a nine-step formative evaluation program designed to achieve an immediate and consistent focus on improving instruction in order to bolster student achievement. In a straightforward and accessible fashion, Herman and Winters explain three overarching “Turnaround Tasks” tha...
Joan Eardley
Joan Eardley (1921-63) is considered to be one of the most influential Scottish painters of her generation. Her paintings and drawings reflect urban and rural Scotland in an expressive visual language unlike any other artist's. This new, highly illustrated survey of her painting does renewed justice to the range, scale and power of her work.
Spirit of Place
This volume examines the work of five figurative artists working in Britain in the 1950s: they are Joan Eardley (19211963), Sheila Fell (19311979), Eva Frankfurther (19301959), Josef Herman (19112000) and LS Lowry (18871976). Each of them established a strong identification with the place in which they chose to live and work and that represented, for a significant part of their careers, the primary focus of their practice. Each associated themselves with a specific place: Eardley, the Gorbals in Glasgow; Fell, the mining community and landscape of her native Aspatria, Cumbria; Frankfurther, Londons East End and its multi-cultural working-class communities; Herman, Ystradgynlais in South Wale...
Music and Ceremony at the Court of Charles V

The Propaganda Model Today
While the individual elements of the propaganda system (or filters) identified by the Propaganda Model (PM) – ownership, advertising, sources, flak and anti-communism – have previously been the focus of much scholarly attention, their systematisation in a model, empirical corroboration and historicisation have made the PM a useful tool for media analysis across cultural and geographical boundaries. Despite the wealth of scholarly research Herman and Chomsky’s work has set into motion over the past decades, the PM has been subjected to marginalisation, poorly informed critiques and misrepresentations. Interestingly, while the PM enables researchers to form discerning predictions as regards corporate media performance, Herman and Chomsky had further predicted that the PM itself would meet with such marginalisation and contempt. In current theoretical and empirical studies of mass media performance, uses of the PM continue, nonetheless, to yield important insights into the workings of political and economic power in society, due in large measure to the model’s considerable explanatory power.
