Motivating Your Secondary Class (PDF)
by Maurice J Galton Susan StewardWhy do so many pupils in Years 7, 8 and 9 'switch off' and make very little progress in the core subjects such as English and mathematics? What can teachers and schools do to improve pupils' attitudes and motivation?

Chapters cover: Making a Good Start to Secondary Education Creating a Cooperative Classroom Climate Improving Communication between Pupils and Teachers Why are some classrooms more successful? How can school structures influence positive relationships? nbsp; The book is a much-needed resource for all secondary teachers, and is particularly useful for year and subject heads. 9781847872593 9781446221099 9786612304729 9781849204330

The Study of Religion: An Introduction to Key Ideas and Methods (PDF)
by Ron Geaves George D. ChryssidesThis is a student introductory guide to the history and methodology of the study of religion. This new guide fulfils two main aims: to introduce the history and methodology pertaining to the study of religion (including ideas of key theorists) and to raise and discuss the main problems in current scholarship in world religions. Increasingly, recognition has been given to the importance of methodology in the study of religion, and, with justification, methodological issues are generally taught to first year students in order to equip them for systematic academic study of the topic. Unfortunately many of the theories that impinge on methodology are explained in a highly complex way, which even advanced students find it hard to understand. This book will unravel the complexity of these issues for students. In addition to theories relating to Religious Studies, examples will be drawn from a variety of the world's historical religious traditions, spanning the range of major ones and some minor ones. The student will in this way gain some understanding of the fundamental ideas of the world's religions as well as an introduction to methods of study.

The Blacks (PDF)

Theologies of the Old Testament (PDF)
by Erhard GerstenbergerThis is a history of religion rather than a theological book. In the introduction, Erhard Gerstenberger argues that the Old Testament contains many different theologies and he pays attention to the context in which the Old Testament is studied. He follows this up with an outlined study of the history of Ancient Israel, and goes on to examine faith, cultic practices and ethics as illustrations of belief in God (or gods, or goddesses) in each of the different stages. The approach is essentially sociological with close attention paid to both archaeology and the biblical texts, and each chapter raises the issue of what these investigations mean for belief in the modern world.

Oil and Gas Law: Current Practice and Emerging Trends (2nd edition) (PDF)
by Greg Gordon John Paterson Emre ÜsenmezThe United Kingdom Continental Shelf is now routinely described as mature. It is no longer a new frontier of oil and gas exploration, with the steep climb up the production profile ahead of it and the principal question being how high that profile will rise. Rather, it is an established hydrocarbon province on the downward slope of the production profile, with the main question being how steep that decline will be.Insofar as this is the case, a new book on the subject of the law affecting oil and gas operations on the UKCS may appear to be rather late in joining the game. On the contrary, however, it is the very fact that the UKCS is now a mature province that provides the rationale for this book: maturity brings with it new problems and challenges and can present existing problems and challenges in a new light.But maturity also has a much more positive aspect: the accumulation of years also brings with it the accumulation of experience. Industry and government (and their respective lawyers) have learned a great deal in the 40 or so years of hydrocarbon operations on the UKCS. Mistakes have been made along the way and lessons have sometimes been learned the hard way. But the legal and regulatory framework that is now in place on the UKCS an justifiably claim to be one of the most advanced anywhere in the world.This book brings together academic and practising lawyers, all based in Aberdeen, Europe's Energy Capital, to consider the key regulatory and contractual dimensions of the mature hydrocarbon province.Editors:Greg Gordon, Lecturer in Law, University of AberdeenJohn Paterson, Reader in Law, University of AberdeenEmre U?enmez, Lecturer in Law, University of AberdeenTable of Contents:Introduction and Context1.

Guantanamo and Beyond: Exceptional Courts and Military Commissions in Comparative Perspective (PDF)
by Oren Gross Fionnuala Ni AolainThis book brings together the viewpoints of leading scholars and policy makers on the topic of exceptional courts and military commissions with a series of unique contributions setting out the current 'state of the field'. The book assesses the relationship between such courts and overlapping legal arenas including constitutional law, international law, international human rights law and international humanitarian law. The Military Commissions scheme established by President George W. Bush in November 2001 has garnered considerable controversy. In parallel with the detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the creation of military courts has focused significant global attention on the use of such courts to process and try persons suspected of committing terrorist acts or offenses during armed conflict.
Crime and Inequality
by Chris GroverThis book examines key relationships between material circumstances and crime, and analyzes the areas of social policy - in particular social security and labour market policy - that are most important in terms of dealing with inequality at the lower end of the income hierarchy. It seeks to explain why inequality is linked to offending behaviour and the evidence underpinning explanations for this, and looks in detail at the relationship between offending and anti-social behaviour and its management through social policy interventions. Crime and Inequality draws upon both criminological and social policy approaches to understand this vital relationship, moving beyond criminological approaches which often fail to analyse the way the state attempts to manage poor material circumstance, offending and anti-social behaviour through social policy. The main aims of the book are threefold: to draw upon the disciplines of both criminology and social policy to understand the relationship between crime and inequality; to provide an in-depth analysis of those aspects of social policy that have a bearing on the context, management and punishment of offending behaviour; to examine government crime and anti-social behaviour policies in the context of social security and labour market policies, and to identify the tensions that have resulted from attempts to address social justice issues while also making individuals responsible for their actions.

Catholic Resistance in Elizabethan England: Robert Persons's Jesuit Polemic, 1580-1610 (PDF)
by Victor HoulistonDuring his lifetime, the Jesuit priest Robert Persons (1546-1610) was arguably the leading figure fighting for the re-establishment of Catholicism in England. Whilst his colleague Edmund Campion may now be better known it was Persons's tireless efforts that kept the Jesuit mission alive during the difficult days of Elizabeth's reign. In this new study, Person's life and phenomenal literary output are analysed and put into the broader context of recent Catholic scholarship. The book bridges the gap between historical studies, on the one hand, and literary studies on the other, by concentrating on Persons's contribution as a writer to the polemical culture of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.As well as discussing his wider achievements as leader of the English Jesuits - founding three seminaries for English priests, corresponding regularly with Catholic activists in England, writing over thirty books, holding the post of rector of the English College in Rome, and being a trusted consultant to the papacy on English affairs - this study looks in detail at what is arguably his greatest legacy, The First Booke of the Christian Exercise (more commonly known as the Book of Resolution). That book, first published in 1582, was to prove the cornerstone of Persons's missionary effort, and a popular work of Catholic devotion, running to several editions over the coming years.Although Persons was ultimately unsuccessful in his ambition to return England to the Catholic fold, the story of his life and works reveals much about the ecclesiastical struggle that gripped early modern Europe. By providing a thorough and up-to-date reassessment of Persons this study not only makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the polemical context of post-Reformation Catholicism, but also of the Jesuit notion of the 'apostolate of writing'.This book is published in conjunction with the Jesuit Historical Institute series 'Bibliotheca Instituti Historici Societatis Iesu'.
