Shelley
Attacked by T.S. Eliot and F.R. Leavis, Shelley's poetry has, over the last few decades, enjoyed a revival of critical interest. His radical politics and arrestingly original poetic strategies have been studied from a variety of perspectives - formalist, deconstructionist, new historicist, feminist and others. Of all the Romantics, Shelly has benefited most from the so-called 'theoretical revolution', as is borne out by the wide range of recent critical work represented in this volume. The 134 essays selected analyse many of Shelley's finest poems, including Alastor, Julian and Maddalo, Prometheus Unbound, Adonais and The Triumph of Life. Michael O'Neill's informed Introduction explores the contours of this debate. Detailed headnotes to the individual essays, explanations of difficult terms, and a further reading section provide invaluable guides to the reader. This collection illuminates the enduring and contemporary significance of the work of a major poet.

The Aebeling
Major (Ret.) Conn MacLeod is no ordinary forty year old – and he has a very long list of achievements to prove it. From his decorated army career, his celebrated status as a world champion in several sports, his acknowledged expertise in history, science, and engineering gained through his numerous university degrees, and his notoriety as a millionaire playboy, he has more notches in his belt and trophies on the wall than ten men combined. Despite living his entire life in a breakneck, carefree and almost suicidal manner, Conn MacLeod has been the proverbial unstoppable force. But they say that all good things must come to an end... has he finally bitten off more than even he can chew? He now plans to go alone to a place that he knows absolutely nothing about – where the risks are unforeseeable and the outcomes inconceivable. Despite any possible preparations, this is not something you do every day – and expect to survive. Conn MacLeod has finally devised a key that will open a portal into a parallel world.

Transforming University Education
What is a university degree for? What can it offer to students? Is it only about getting a job? How can we measure the quality of an undergraduate degree? Paul Ashwin shows how, around the world, economic arguments have come to dominate our thinking about the purpose and nature of university education. He argues that we have lost a sense of the educational purposes of an undergraduate degree and the ways in which going to university can transform students' lives. Ashwin challenges a series of myths related to the purposes, educational processes, and quality of an undergraduate education. He argues that these myths have fuelled the current misunderstanding of the educational aspects of higher education and explores what is needed to reinvigorate our understanding of a university education. Throughout, Ashwin draws on his deep engagement with international research to offer an accessible and thought-provoking analysis of the nature of university education.
The New Power University
In a changing world, what is the social purpose of higher education? Combining a critique of contemporary universities, a manifesto for the future and a provocation to stimulate change, The New Power University examines how higher education can flourish in the 21st century. Using the framing of ‘new power’, Jonathan Grant illustrates how a different purpose for universities is necessary, through the application of a new set of values that puts social responsibility at the core of the academic mission, allowing the university to become an advocate of the policy and political issues that matter to its communities. The New Power University offers both a warning against the complacency of ol...
