Education and the British Empire: cultural imperialism or vital preparation for independence and nationhood? This question lies at the root of the history of the education services in India and the colonial territories. Clive Whitehead, a distinguished educationalist, has brought... together these studies of the life and work of leading practitioners, covering over 100 years up to the end of empire, the onset of independence and beyond. He includes both administrators and teachers on the ground, like Sir Hans Vischer, Arthur Mayhew, Eric R. J. Hussey, Sir Christopher Cox, Frank Ward, Freda Gwilliam - the 'Great Aunt' of British colonial education - and the great social anthropologist turned educationalist, Margaret Mead. Leading issues are tackled, including academic education for the future Platonic Guardians who would run the territories after the British departed, provision of technical and scientific training, the need for mass education and literacy in English and local languages, equal opportunities for all and education for women and, perhaps the most vital principal with global implications, how to link Western knowledge with unique indigenous history and culture.

So the last shall be first, and the first last... (Matthew 20:16) More than 90% of readers read only the first chapter of any book that they get for reading. No wonder so many people who pick up The Holy Bible have a hard time believing in God. The first book of the original Holy... Bible, The book of Genesis, which starts out with the words: In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth is full of incredible stories that may be very hard to believe without first developing at least a little bit of faith in the word that purports to be God's Word. But how is one to develop faith without reading the word of God first? Consisting of three volumes the original edition of The New Beginning Holy Bible, also known as Your Out of Order and Backwards Bible, starts out by presenting the testimony of John (the beloved disciple) from the five books of John. Starting with John 1:1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God, and ending with his Revelation then backwards through the other three Gospels and backwards through the rest of the books of the New Testament from last to first. You will notice a great difference in the style of the fourth gospel, the gospel we call John, and the first three, which we put together calling them the synoptic gospels : Matthew, Mark, Luke. Both tell about Jesus, but in two different ways. For the synoptic gospels, the humanity of Jesus is always in the forefront; it's a human understanding. It's a human face; it's a human personality being described and narrated. But in John, no, truly a human face and a human voice, but not really a human understanding, rather a divine one. The benefit to today's reader is that he/she gets to the most interesting words to be found in the Bible quickly including The Holy Bible's most famous passage John 3:16-21 within 15 minutes of reading. The promise of salvation through belief in the name of Jesus is presented to the reader immediately. That promise alone will urge

First published in 1981, Education and the Individual presents a reasoned case for maintaining the maximum freedom of choice in education in those areas where the interests of the individual and the state conflict. The book argues that ultimately the freedom to opt out of the edu...cation system altogether must be protected, as well as the freedom to choose a religious education in a secular state, or a secular education in a religious state, and freedom from political indoctrination. It analyses what is required of education in a liberal society, and explores its implications for the wider international context of human rights. It also promotes the basic rights of freedom of choice in education and, wherever conflict is inevitable, it argues for the issue to be settled in favour of the individual, rather than the state. Education and the Individual will appeal to those with an interest in the history of education, the philosophy of education, and the relationship between education and politics.

Improving Schools with Blended Learning is specifically designed to address the important issues needed to successfully modernise education within the context of technological change. It does this by first providing a clear roadmap for designing Blended Learning environments able... to respond to the technological imperatives challenging schools at present, and then illustrating this roadmap via specific, original research that details the how to aspects of a successful technology-based design process. School leaders, teachers, teacher education students and researchers will all find highly relevant information about how to manage for disruption in the new and informative approach to Blended Learning they will discover in this book. This book arose from two different research projects the authors have been pursuing over the last 3 - 5 years, including school improvement research and Blended Learning (BL) research designed to investigate the role of technology in effective teaching and learning. By combining the insights gained from these two different research areas, this book is able to present a novel understanding of BL that is both insightful and clearly evidence-based. Improving Schools with Blended Learning also provides several original contributions to specific knowledge in the areas of BL and school improvement that most educators will find highly useful, including the use of BL schemas, a clear and extended BL continuum, how to measure and evaluate the success of BL, how to scaffold teacher ICT knowledge and skills, and a specific process for contextualising applied BL in relation to the 'disruption' imperatives of the Knowledge Economy.
