The Search for Liberty

From Origins to Independence, Volume I

By: Esmond Wright

This is a history of the region now known as the United States of America, from earliest times to the American victory over the British and the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The book charts the arrival of the first Americans through Alaska, millennia before the coming of the Norsemen, or of Cabot, Columbus and Raleigh. It tells of the sixteenth century incursions by the Spanish, French and English, their interaction with the American Indians, and describes the early settlements, their culture, activities and trade. The author traces the rise to dominance of the British settlers, and the establishment of the whole of east America within the British Empire. The book closes with an account of the war with the British and of Washington's final triumph.

For the Very Joy of Art

The First Hundred and Thirty Years of the Nottingham Society of Artists

By: Marjorie Macmillan,Esmond Nigel Corlett

In 1880 a small group of people formed a society of artists which flourished and grew and which still exists today. Although a shared interest in art was what bound these particular friends together, such common bonds can always be strained by the differing views on how the society should be run. We see the difficulties of holding things together during two world wars; the often alarming confrontations between strong characters with strongly held opinions; the amusing and quirky personalities without whom no group is ever truly complete.

Education, Skills and Social Justice in a Polarising World

Between Technical Elites and Welfare Vocationalism

By: Bill Esmond,Liz Atkins

This book explains how education policies offering improved transitions to work and higher-level study can widen the gaps between successful and disadvantaged groups of young people. Centred on an original study of ongoing further education and apprenticeship reforms in England, the book traces the emergence of distinctive patterns of transition that magnify existing societal inequalities. It illustrates the distinction between mainly male ‘technical elites’ on STEM-based courses and the preparation for low-level service roles described as ‘welfare vocationalism’, whilst digital and creative fields ill-suited to industry learning head for a ‘new economy precariat’. Yet the authors argue that social justice can nevertheless be advanced in the spaces between learning and work. The book provides essential insights for academics and postgraduate students researching technical, vocational and higher education. It will also appeal to professionals with interests in contemporary educational policy and emerging practice.
