A Learning Profession?
This ground-breaking book uncovers a hidden history of the professional develop¬ment of serving teachers. Drawing on hitherto unpublished archive material, Wendy Robinson reveals an op¬timistic and liberal age of high class conferences in the 1920s and 1930s, in Lon¬don hotels and Oxford colleges, free from government control, where teachers from across the country and abroad, gathered for professional, intellectual and cultural ‘refreshment’. The status attached to these occasions was signified by the celebrities who graced them, including royalty, public intellectuals, educational practitioners and politicians.

Portrait of a Fallen Angel
Frank Walker was a godless man. He saw no use in worshipping a higher power. However, he did see the power of religion and the way it could take hold over grand congregations. Perhaps that was why he chose to worship the devil, so long as it meant a frolic with Bacchus in the woods, bonfires, wild sex with naked maidens, and tumultuous music. Soon, Frank becomes known as the devil-worshipping prophet of a new religion. He gains a devoted following who await his every word. As he and his followers become further and further debauched by their demonic practices, Frank naively believes he can control the beast he has unleashed. However, Frank is in for an unfortunate surprise. He tells his followers their messiah is coming, but what will happen if the devil truly arrives? Like the mythological Icarus, Frank has perhaps flown too close to the sun. He begins to feel powerless over his followers and the forces he has summoned as events spiral towards their inevitable climax.

Encountering Ideas of Place in Education
This book draws together theories, research, and practice on knowledges and pedagogies of place across educational settings. Using empirical research on learning across education systems, each chapter highlights different concepts of place in various contexts such as environments, understandings of place like those experienced by communities and opportunities for embedding place in learning. Chapters are co-constructed by authors working collaboratively across different contexts, tackling key themes such as justice, mobilities, changes, and sustainability, through place. The book indicates how educators can apply creative approaches to teaching within, through and about place in education and will therefore be of relevance to a wider range of academics, teachers and practitioners working in early years settings, schools, universities and other educational context.

Public Consultation and Community Involvement in Planning
Public Consultation and Community Involvement in Planning is the definitive introduction to public consultation for developers, students and planners. The past decade has seen a complete transformation in consultation and community relations in the UK, from increased requirements to consult, to the introduction of neighbourhood planning and a revolution in online communication.
