GenAI has rapidly and universally disrupted teaching, learning, and assessing with integrity. In this Element, the authors first orient readers to the academic integrity landscape and then examine historical technological disruptions to academic integrity for lessons learned. Readers are then transported to 2045 with a fictional depiction of the type of university that will unfortunately emerge if we continue our historical practice of layering technology onto a 20th century educational platform rather than reenvisioning academic integrity. After analyzing this possible future, the authors offer a multi-layered and balanced approach to the problem through developing guidelines, policies and procedures, rethinking assessment design, and cultivating humans who will act ethically, in the age of AI. Overall, this Element offers evidence-based strategies that instructors and institutions can adapt to their contexts, emphasizing that as humans, we have the agency to shape the integrity we want and deserve.

A Centenary for Socialism is an essential read for all who want to know about working class struggles across the last two centuries. It i the first-ever single volume history of the Communist Party, produced to mark its centenary. Here we put the record straight, especially where we got things wrong. Since 1920 the Communist Party has played a vital and sometimes decisive role in many struggles for working class advance. It is a volunteer force attracting those who want the liberation of all and are prepared to give their all, to make that happen. This book is best read alongside Red Lives - a compendium of biographies of extraordinary rank and file communists - men and women, black and white, young and veteran. A Centenary for Socialism shows that the motivation for their activism is found in the injustices, oppression and exploitation of the capitalist system and British imperialism. Communists have played a key political role, educating and organising worker's movements, fighting for working class power, colonial liberation, equality and against racism, but they have also played a very visible role in the sciences and the arts, in sports, industry and culture. Communists fight for the liberation of workers in Britain, but are internationalist to their very core. From the early days of strike action to block the export of arms to surpress the Bolshevik revolution, mobilising to fight fascism in Spain and later, young activists to fight apartheid in South Africa - the story is one of international solidarity. British communists were imprisoned alongside their Indian comrades in the jails of an empire of exploitation - depicted below in 1920 - over which Rajani Palme Dutt said, "the sun never set and the blood never dried." You will read here accounts and facts, that have never appeared in print before. We invite you to approach the contents with an open mind and a will to engage in debate and action. Because the Communist Party is so rooted in the British working class and is part of a global movement of the future it has navigated victories and defeats, to continue the fight.

Sold as a multi-volume set – the individual volumes are also available for purchase. This is the complete collection of six paperback volumes on the history of the Transport & General Workers’ Union (now called UNITE), from 1880 to 2010. The history of the TGWU is the core of this collection, with a significant emphasis on the union’s regions, as well as several key themes, such as equality, internationalism, the wider labour movement, and its attitude to the conflict between capital and labour.

Sold as a multi-volume set – the individual volumes are also available for purchase. This volume traces the history of the TGWU from its zenith in the period of the Labour Government to its nadir in 1992. It easily divides itself into two distinct periods. The first from 1974-79 saw a reforming Labour government which, recognising trade union strength, was determined to ‘bring about a fundamental and irreversible shift in the balance of power and wealth in favour of working people’. It marked the zenith of the TGWU in which the union played an important role, overseeing the repeal of anti-union Industrial Relation Act, and the enactment of a raft of pro-worker legislation. But this was insufficient to sustain the 'Social Contract' between the Labour Government and the Trade Unions– leading to the ‘Winter of Discontent’ and the Tory election victory of 1979. The second period, 1979-92, witnessed the nadir of the TGWU. A right wing Conservative government led by Margaret Thatcher, was determined to reverse all the gains of preceding Labour administrations. Anti-union legislation and the cruel tool of unemployment created the economic and political conditions to decimate trade unions. Defensive struggles could not stop the defeats suffered by car workers, miners, printers and dockers. Trade union membership declined in the Thatcher years, leading to a bleak period of industrial defeat and union retrenchment, characterised by mergers and reorganisation - mitigated only by positive moves to tackle endemic racism and sexism in an attempt to involve previously disregarded women and black workers.

Mystery surrounds Aunt Henny. She is aunt to all but related to no one in Kamola. When a nemesis from her past arrives, she must decide whether to flee as she'd done all those years ago, or stand her ground in the town she's made her home and risk going to jail. When secrets come out, will the lives of Genevi ve, Montana, and Aunt Henny ever be the same?

Sold as a multi-volume set – the individual volumes are also available for purchase. This is volume 1 of six accessible volumes covering UNITE’s history from 1880-2010. The history of the TGWU is the core of this collection, with a significant emphasis on the union’s regions, as well as several key themes, such as equality, internationalism, the wider labour movement, and its attitude to the conflict between capital and labour. This first volume (1880-1931) covers the formation of the TGWU. It was rooted in an era in which, starting in the 1880’s, a mass trade union movement was formed. The drive to amalgamate the unions was spearheaded by Ernest Bevin and resulted in the creation of the TGWU, 1920-22 - a period which witnessed an intensification of pre and post WW1 militancy. Such militancy continued, albeit unevenly until 1926 and was met with resistance from employers and the State culminating in the mighty confrontation of the General Strike. Politically the union had a close relationship with the Labour Party and its two minority Governments (1923-4 and 1929-31). The defeat of 1926 marked a watershed in British labour history in which, again, the TGWU played a key role. Trade union militancy was succeeded by an attempt at negotiated accommodation with the employers, known as ‘Mondism’. Bevin was central to this development.

In 2017 an intense fundraising campaign ensured that what came to be known as 'the Galloway Hoard' was saved for the nation. Since then work has been ongoing to preserve and understand it. Over 5kg of silver bullion, many unique and enigmatic gold objects, the rare preservation of textiles and an unusual range of other materials, make the Hoard the richest collection of Viking-age objects every found in Britain and Ireland. Dr Martin Goldberg and Dr Mary Davis provide the first full description of the Hoard and place the find in a wider historical and geographical context.
