Learning Abroad
Commonwealth scholarships began in 1959. They have since moved 25,000 people across borders, launching them into influence as politicians, poets, painters, professors—and the rest. Their stories illuminate the sociology and politics of higher education, of the Commonwealth, and of its member countries: they include the last scholar before apartheid took South Africa out of the Commonwealth, who became a high court judge, and the first after it came back, now a vice-chancellor. Half a century of British society shows up in the record of the Scholarship Commission that made Britain's awards. Its first chairman, the son of a general, was the Lord Chamberlain, taking time off from censoring pl...
UNRAVELING THE SPIDER'S NET
“People are important. Although some persons may consider that people with disabilities cannot live ordinary lives, as long as they believe in themselves, they will survive. Never allow a person or a situation to overpower you.” These words are as true today as they were when my father said them to me in 1945, when he realized that epilepsy would be with me for life.

We are living in turbulent times, witnessing renewed international conflict, resurgent nationalism, declining multilateralism, and a torrent of hostile propaganda. How are we to understand these developments and conduct diplomacy in their presence? Nicholas J. Cull, the distinguished historian of propaganda, revisits the international media campaigns of the past in the light of the challenges of the present. His concept of Reputational Security deftly links issues of national image and outreach to the deepest needs of any state, rescuing them from the list of low-priority optional extras to which they are so often consigned in the West. Reputational Security, he argues, comes from being know...
Living and Laughing with Parkinson's
"Anne Atkin endured many of the symptoms of Parkinson's for eight long, frustrating and painful years. When she was finally diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, her reaction was mixed. She was glad she finally knew the cause of her symptoms but she wasn't happy about the label that came with it. Anne made up her mind, she knew there were some fights she could never win but there would be many that she could, so she set about doing just that. Working on overcoming each challenge one by one, Anne trained her facial muscles to smile and when she succeeded she began to laugh again. With the help of others she set about using art as therapy... Anne has identified many of the challenges of people with Parkinson's. Dealing with them in a light hearted fashion, Anne shows ways in which loved ones will be better able to understand what changes are occurring..."--Back cover.
