Enterprise Learning in Action
For over a decade the education and employment systems of western industrialized countries have had to adapt to the changes brought about by the post-industrial age. The recession of the early 1990s has led the education and business communities increasingly to look for ways to co-operate in preparing young people and unemployed workers for a new social and economic order. Enterprise learning in action draws on case studies in community and enterprise learning from around the world to show how young people and the unemployed can be taught the enterprise skills which will enable them to survive in an uncertain world. Dale E.Shuttleworth looks in particular at how this can be done outside the formal school system and within the community in ways which are responsive to the particular needs of each locality. His message is overall one of great optimism for a future in which those who are at present rejected by the system can become active and valued contributors. Enterprise learning in action will appeal to all students and researchers from primary through to adult education and to those in local economic development.

Liquid Gold
This book traces the history of liquid crystal display (LCD) development from simple laboratory samples to the flat, thin LCDs that have become an important part of everyday life, appearing in television screens, computers, and cellular phones as well as numerous other consumer and industrial products. It provides insight into how these products were developed and what might be expected in the future. This account is a personal, in-depth look at the evolution of a high-technology industry from the eyes of the author, who watched it grow from inception to ubiquity over nearly forty years. The story that is told in this book goes beyond the technical details and into the ideas, visions, struggles, deceptions, and ambitions of the scientists and engineers who made it possible. In addition, the diverse field of LCD technology encompasses not only electronics but also physics, chemistry, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, marketing, and sales. Consequently, this book will be of interest to physical scientists from several disciplines as well as engineers and students.
