Betraying a generation: How education is failing young people
by Patrick AinleyEducation has betrayed its promises to deliver upward social mobility and a brighter future. Young people study harder but learn less, running up a down-escalator of devalued qualifications to become overqualified but underemployed, unable to move forward with their lives. From primary to post-graduate schools – funny phonics through endless testing to phoney apprenticeships and the world’s most costly university fees – Patrick Ainley explains how English education is now driven by the economy and politics, ‘dumbing down’ rather than ‘wising up’. Addressed to teachers and students at all levels of learning, it concludes by suggesting how schools, colleges and universities can begin to contribute towards a more meaningful and productive society.

Betraying Our Selves: Forms of Self-Representation in Early Modern English Texts (Early Modern Literature in History)
by NA NAThis is a lively study of the autobiographical instinct in a variety of 16th and 17th century modes of writing in English, from letters and memoirs to pastoral, polemic and street ballads. The book's central concern is how "selves" are "betrayed" in texts, particularly in the centuries before the autobiography was a recognized genre. It suggests that self-representation in the early modern period was often indirect, emerging in oblique and surprising ways.
Betraying the NHS: Health Abandoned
by Michael MandelstamBased on his experiences of helping to fight cuts and closures in Suffolk, Michael Mandelstam delivers a damning verdict on the mismanagement of the NHS at national, regional and local level. He charts the widespread cutbacks and closures, both rural and urban, to clinics, A&E services, beds, wards and scores of community hospitals. He outlines how humane care, particularly for older people, is compromised by the ruthless determination of NHS management to increase patient throughput and hit government-set targets. The author highlights how the chaotic change to the NHS is being driven by concealed agendas - including privatisation of the NHS, obsessive interference from central government as well as selective use, if not abandonment, of evidence-based practice. Seriously flawed and damaging decisions are the result, affecting the population at large as well as those most vulnerable - older people with chronic and complex needs, people with physical or learning disabilities and people with mental health problems. Above all, he exposes the scandalous lack of transparency and accountability behind changes that threaten to destroy the NHS.

Betrieb von Rechenzentren: Workshop der Gesellschaft für Informatik, Karlsruhe, 23.–24. September 1975 (Informatik-Fachberichte #2)
by A. SchreinerDie Gesellschaft für Informatik trat mit dem Workshop "Betrieb von Rechenzentren" an den grossen Kreis von Firmen, Behörden, Lehr- und Forschungseinrichtungen heran, die Datenverarbeitungs anlagen betreiben. Die Fragen, die sich aus dem Betrieb von Da tenverarbeitungsanlagen ergeben, betreffen die Organisation des Betriebsablaufs, Probleme der Personalschulung und -führung eben so wie Methoden der Leistungsmessung, der langfristigen Planung, der Betriebssysteme, der Anlagentechnik sowie der leistungsbezo genen Kalkulation, um nur die wichtigsten zu nennen. Um sich nicht in diesem weiten Feld zu verlieren, konzentrierte sich der Workshop auf 5 Themengruppen: 1. Organisation und Technik in Rechenzentren 2. Planung in Rechenzentren 3. Betriebsablauf in Rechenzentren 4. Abrechnung und Leistungsanalyse 5. Sicherheit in Rechenzentren. Die Veranstaltung richtete sich an die leitenden Mitarbeiter der Rechenzentren; sie zielte darauf ab, Beiträge aus allen Branchen der Wirtschaft, aus verschiedenen Verwaltungseinrichtungen sowie von Forschungsinstituten und Hochschulrechenzentren zu erhalten. Berichte zu diesem Fragenkomplex, die aufgrund der Erfahrungen mit Anlagen verschiedener Hersteller gewonnen wurden, sollten ebenfalls zur Differenzierung der Betrachtungsweisen beitragen. Die Referate beschreiben entweder exemplarisch den heutigen tech nischen Stand für den Betrieb von Rechenzentren, basierend auf entsprechend ausgewählten und belegten Erfahrungen, oder sie bie ten Ausblicke auf Konzeptionen und Planungen, die als diskussions würdig hinsichtlich der Modernität oder der Systematik angesehen werden können. Hierbei erschien es durchaus wünschenswert, wich tige Bereiche aus der Sicht verschiedener Rechenzentren darzu stellen, da sowohl Unterschiede als auch Übereinstimmungen im De tail für den Praktiker auf diesem Gebiet von grosser Bedeutung sind.

The Betrothed of Death: The Spanish Foreign Legion During the Rif Rebellion, 1920-1927 (Contributions in Comparative Colonial Studies)
by José E. AlvarezFollowing her defeat in the Spanish-American War of 1898, Spain shifted her colonial focus to her Protectorate in northern Morocco. When Spanish conscripts began to fight and to die by the thousands, political fallout forced the government to create a new unit of professional soldiers. This unit would serve the dual function of providing fighting men for Moroccan service, while sparing the lives of conscripted men. Under its founder, José Millán Astray, and his deputy, Francisco Franco, the Spanish Foreign Legion would quickly become the spearhead for Spain's army in Africa. This is the story of the creation, organization, and combat role of the Legion in its formative years from 1919 to 1927.Based upon archival sources in Madrid, Segovia, and Ceuta, this is the first and most complete history in English or Spanish of the early years of the Spanish Foreign Legion. The unit was instrumental in crushing Abd-el-Krim's rebellion against Spanish colonial authority. When the Riffians annihilated the army of General Silvestre at Annual in 1921 and were poised to attack the Spanish enclave of Melilla, it was the arrival of the Legion that pacified its panic-stricken citizens. The force would be in the vanguard of all major offensives undertaken in recapturing the territory lost in 1921, and its amphibious landing at Alhucemas Bay in 1925 marked the beginning of the end for the Rif Rebellion.
