Lou was used to hearing voices and seeing strange things, but this just felt . . . different. There was an urgency embedded in the plea, a plea that was getting more and more persistent and hard to ignore. Would Lou and the T-Weaves find the mystery voice in time to save an entire realm, or would evil win the battle that lies ahead?

This analysis of Australian schooling relates international sociological research to the actual experiences of teachers in the classroom, and sets those experiences in the wider context of the Australian school system and of the socioeconomic conditions which shape children before they even enter school. From this basis of understanding, it shows how theory can be used to help teachers to reflect on and improve what they do in school. Approachably written, it will interest not only educationalists with a special interest in Australian and comparative education, but also all those who are interested in creating a better and fairer education system for all children.

The Royal Gunpowder Mills at Waltham Abbey form a major chapter in the history of explosives in England. Waltham Abbey Powder Mills were among the earliest powder manufactories in the country, and continued existing as an explosives factory for some three hundred years. This book documents the lives of some of the more colourful personnel employed at the Mills during the period from 1787 to 1841. Its production was initiated by Lynne Lennard, the former General Manager of the Waltham Abbey Royal Gunpowder Mills. This is an easy-reading companion volume to our more technical "Workforce of the Royal Gunpowder Mills: 1787-1841". Both are based on the considerable volume of Personnel Records held in the National Archives and on documents and images held within the Archive of the Waltham Abbey Royal Gunpowder Mills.

Governments around the world are trying to come to terms with new technologies, new social movements and a changing global economy. As a result, educational policy finds itself at the centre of a major political struggle between those who see it only for its instrumental outcomes and those who see its potential for human emancipation. This book is a successor to the best-selling Understanding Schooling (1988). It provides a readable account of how educational policies are developed by the state in response to broader social, cultural, economic and political changes which are taking place. It examines the way in which schools live and work with these changes, and the policies which result from them. The book examines policy making at each level, from perspectives both inside and outside the state bureaucracy. It has a particular focus on social justice. Both undergraduate and postgraduate students will find that this book enables them to understand the reasoning behind the changes they are expected to implement. It will help to prepare them to confront an uncertain educational world, whilst still retaining their enthusiasm for education.
