Lion in Winter is the gripping tale of the Great Britain ice hockey team's fluctuating fortunes, from being the first European Champions in 1910 through to the nadir 0f 1981, when a drop to the bottom of the world rankings resulted in a self-imposed exile from international competition. Detailing the pinnacle of international achievement with victory at the 1936 Winter Olympics, it chronicles a roller-coaster record from underdogs to bulldogs - and back again - several times. No other champion ice hockey nation has scaled the heights and plumbed the depths like the British. A definitive work of record, it is researched and written by two of the game's foremost historians and features the only complete GB Player register ever published, complemented by a wide variety of rare illustrations.

"This volume offers a multifaceted selection of studies on 19th-century Belgian reformers and initiatives they instigated to solve the ‘social question’ by ‘civilising’ and moralising the lower classes. Around 1850 Belgium was continental Europe’s most heavily industrialised state. From the mid-century until the Belle Époque many international social reform associations were based in Belgium, as well as their main international actors. This book aims to place the history of social, moral and educational reform in Belgium during the long 19th century within a broader European perspective. This collection of contributions by both young and established scholars from various disciplinary backgrounds not only fills some gaps in Belgian historiography, but also offers a better understanding of broad epochal processes such as the bourgeois civilising offensive, the expansion of educational action and the historical growth of welfare states.
L'ouvrage, issu d'une thèse de doctorat, tente de comprendre comment le conseiller principal d'éducation peut engager une relation d’accompagnement individuel tout en exerçant ses responsabilités d'organisation de la vie collective dans l'établissement. A partir d'entretiens puis de questionnaires, l'auteure montre que les CPE jouent trois rôles différents auprès des élèves accompagnés : un compagnon, qui lui porte une attention bienveillante ; un accompagnateur qui se charge d’étayer son parcours ; un guide,enfin, qui intervient pour inscrire l’action individualisée dans un cadre socialisant. La relation d’accompagnement s’enrichit en outre de la création de collectifs de travail au sein de l’établissement. [Résumé d'après celui figurant p. 11]
