Class 47?
This volume marks the 50th anniversary of Class 47 and is the result of many years of detailed research in the archives, rewriting much of the accepted wisdom of the type's history.

Representing Organization
This text is an attempt to bridge the gap between the abstractions of current theories of organization and the somewhat excessively grounded material that forms the bulk of literatures within the information systems and knowledge management communities.
Crystal Doorways
Attuning oneself to one s self, and harmonising with the energies that surround one and one s immediate environment is the basis for this innovative book. For those who work with crystals regularly, on an amateur or professional basis, a copy of Sue and Simon s work should be a must for your collection. British Astrological and Psychic Society Newsletter Crystal Doorways focuses on a very particular system of using crystals and colour to bring about changes in your consciousness and an increasing understanding of the energy world around us. The idea of using crystals placed on and around the body has been known for a long time, but most layouts required a vast number of large and expensive crystals or an honours degree in geometry to work them out. Developed as a result of running many courses, Crystal Doorways gives a clear, immediately understandable, system of energy nets using small, easily obtainable crystals. These energy nets are simple, usually only requiring small tumbled stones, but they can be extremely powerful. Each net is illustrated and described in full, with what stones to use, where to place them, potential uses and background information.
Shaping for Mediocrity
In 2021, as part of a programme called Shaping for Excellence, bosses at the University of Leicester made redundant numerous scholars in what was simultaneously an attack on academic freedom and trade union organisation. The authors of Shaping for Mediocrity not only had front-row seats in the campaign against these mass redundancies, they were in the ring - both as targeted employees and as trade union officers and negotiators. Shaping for Mediocrity tells the inside story of these attacks and the campaign against them. It situates this story within a longer history of struggle to make the university a place where critical thinking is possible, showing how events in Leicester are both reflective of higher education in the UK following four decades of neoliberal 'reform' and a particularly egregious instance of the increasingly authoritarian management of public institutions such as universities.
Dark Academia
The unspoken, private and emotional underbelly of the neoliberal university
Demo(s)
This book is framed as a dialogue, between Hugo Letiche’s iconoclastic appeals to demonstrate (as in a demo) for a pedagogy/philosophy/politics of (re-)territorialization (as in the demos), and Jacques Rancière’s calls for dissensus and a new sensibility (le partage du sensible) that may lead to radical democratization. Writing here are: Asmund Born, Damian O’Doherty, Joanna Latimer, Hugo Letiche, Geoff Lightfoot, Simon Lilley, Alphonso Lingis, Stephen Linstead, Garance Maréchal, Jean-Luc Moriceau, Rolland Munro, Rukmini Bhaya Nair, Peter Pelzer, Yvon Pesqueux, Burkard Sievers, Isabelle Stengers, and Niels Thyge Thygesen. These authors explore learning and education, research and investigation, writing and practice, in the context of the study of organization and of organizing. They champion affect, hope, poetic narrative, slow science, justice, the commons, engagement and fairness.
Architecture and Capitalism
Architecture and Capitalism tells a story of the relationship between the economy and architectural design. Eleven historians each discuss in brand new essays the time period they know best, looking at cultural and economic issues, which in light of current economic crises you will find have dealt with diverse but surprisingly familiar economic issues. Told through case studies, the narrative begins in the mid-nineteenth century and ends with 2011, with introductions by Editor Peggy Deamer to pull the main themes together so that you can see how other architects in different times and in different countries have dealt with similar economic conditions. By focussing on what previous architects experienced, you have the opportunity to avoid repeating the past. With new essays by Pier Vittorio Aureli, Ellen Dunham-Jones, Keller Easterling, Lauren Kogod, Robert Hewison, Joanna Merwood-Salisbury, Robin Schuldenfrei, Deborah Gans, Simon Sadler, Nathan Rich, and Micahel Sorkin.
