The Ludlows of Bucks and Oxon
In the late 1600s the parish registers for Kingsey in Buckinghamshire recorded the birth of Francis Ludlow son of Edward and Elizabeth. It is not clear where Edward and Elizabeth married, nor indeed where they lived prior to the birth of their son. This book contains the story of them, their children and their descendants who bore the Ludlow surname from 1699 to the present day.
The Little Dry
The ""little dry"" comes at the mid-point of the tropical rainy season, lasts but a short time, and is soon forgotten when the rains return. It cannot compare with the long dry season, when all the equatorial belt lies parched and withered. Secessionist Biafra waged a ""little war,"" and who now remembers the Ibo and this time of his ""little dry"" Janice, an American artist married to Obi Ezendu, an Ibo, returns with him to Nigeria after his eight years of study in the United States. At this time the first military coup, led by Ibo officers, is in effect. They are assigned a lovely house in Enugu, the eastern regional seat where Obi is employed in the Ministry of Education. Janice, a simple, idealistic girl gets her first jolt when she learns of Obi's native wife, Ezinma, chosen for him by his family one week before his departure for the States. Azikwe, a bright, lovable child of seven is the fruit of this marriage. After the counter-coup when the Ibos are no longer in power, they secede and set up the State of Biafra. All other Americans are evacuated, but Janice elects to stay with the Ibos.
Mathematics Education and Subjectivity
This book is centrally concerned with how mathematics education is represented and how we understand mathematical teaching and learning with view to changing them. It considers teachers, students and researchers. It explores their mathematical thinking and the concepts that this thought produces. But also how these concepts acquire cultural layers that mediate our apprehension. The book examines some of the linguistic and socio-cultural filters that influence mathematical understanding. But above all it introduces some contemporary theories of human subjectivity, in which subjectivity is seen primarily as consequential to, rather than productive of, our attempts to represent or categorise th...
New Teacher Identity and Regulative Government
This book seeks to address the question of how the task of teaching mathematics to young children might be better understood. But rather than starting out with a conception of mathematics derived from the many histories mathematics might claim as its own we centre the analysis instead within the social practices that surround the teaching of the subject to children aged four to eleven in English primary schools today. That is, we do not commence with an a priori conception of mathematics and see what people are saying about it. Rather, we start from what people are saying and see where this points. We probe how the desires of society have manifested themselves in a societal decision to teach...
Becoming a Mathematics Teacher
The book is centered on how major curriculum reform shapes mathematics and the professional practices of teachers. This book documents in real time the implementation of a major government numeracy programme and its receipt by trainee and new teachers. It documents the complete life span of that initiative. The account is targeted at an international readership in terms of how curriculum reform more generally shapes mathematics in schools and the practices of teachers. A key dimension of the book is an alternative view of mathematics education research in which the task of teacher development is understood at policy level where large numbers of teachers were interviewed to assess how policies were being processed through individuals. The book provides an easy and accessible commentary utilising contemporary theory to describe how such teachers reconcile their personal aspirations with the external demands they encounter in negotiating their identities as professional teachers.

Brenton Plays: 1
Howard Brenton is one of Britain's best-known and most controversial dramatists Christie in Love is based on the story of John Christie, the 19th century serial killer, "like Genet, [Brenton] feels for the outcast...But he's less sentimentally involved with his criminals, clearer about his ultimate strategy to show the unreality of straight lines in a curved universe, of the roles society forces on us." (Observer). "Doing our 'umble best, Ma'am to wreck society", Magificence puts the small people and their protests against the bourgeois state on stage; it was described as "A wonderful piece of theatre; annexing whole new chunks of modern life and presenting them in a style at once fruitful a...
