Mckitterick, Bill's Books

The second volume of the history of Cambridge University Press covering the 1690s to 1872.

In Self-Leadership in Social Work, Bill McKitterick calls for change in the practice of the profession. Arguing that the current approaches have minimized the social justice focus and therapeutic and change-oriented interventions, McKitterick explores the ways that strong self-leadership can help social workers refocus their attention on efforts that can achieve positive change. He identifies tactics and strategies for providing leadership within a team and in senior positions. Offering a fresh and innovative view of the field, this book will inspire social workers, managers of social services, and social work students to exercise leadership in their own practice.

“This excellent book is a back to basics reminder of the fundamentals of supervision. It provides an easy to read guide to improve and strengthen the essential yet sometimes neglected supervision process … One particular strength are the good-practice checklists in each chapter; they summarise what is core and crucial to the effectiveness of supervision, provides useful examples of practice and a ‘what to do’ list of actions.” Sofie Franklin, Child Protection Social Worker, UK “This book shows how reflection and critical analysis should be at the heart of good supervision and explains why this is not always achieved. More importantly, it goes on to inform readers on how to get the most out of supervision with examples of good practice. Personally, I have found the book to be most helpful as part of my own early professional development.” Gary Law, Children and Young People in Care Social Worker, Bury Local Authority, UK “In this accessible and comprehensive book, Bill McKitterick brings his wealth of professional experience to bear, reinvigorating professional supervision in social work and reinstating its place at the heart of practice. This is a timely challenge to the tyranny of managerialism and process compliance in social work” Sue White, Professor of Social Work, University of Birmingham, UK Part of a new Social Work Pocketbooks series, this brief and to the point social work resource enables students, social workers, supervisors and line managers to understand what good supervision is and how to implement it. Useful features include: Practical ways for supervisors and social workers to prepare for and use supervision Strategies to improve supervision or start again when it has fallen into disuse Methods and advice to protect and prioritise time and space for supervision Advice on maintaining supervision alongside organisational focus on performance management Addressing supervision in multi-professional settings Written by an experienced practitioner, this book recognises the working environment of social workers and their managers and provides the structure for them to collaborate as peers.

This is the first of three volumes concerning the history of the oldest press in the world,a history that extends from the sixteenth century to the present day.

This thesis studies the impact of teaching intelligent design to evangelical students. Science is often presented as a reason why some find sharing their faith difficult in a secular culture: teaching the science of intelligent design enables Christians to initiate conversations and overcome obstacles with those whose worldview is more Darwinian and materialist. The professional doctoral research employs both action research and practical theology. Lin Norton's pedagogical action research provides the structure for the qualitative research and thematic analysis, showing that students find learning about intelligent design empowering for evangelism. Richard Osmer's model of practical theology enables an interdisciplinary reflection on how intelligent design challenges Western secular culture. Intelligent design is seen as the most integrative of all the different ways of relating science and theology. Theologically, teaching intelligent design is like teaching a modern parable to contemporary society and, just like the Gospel parables, some respond with faith and some reject it. Evangelical students find learning about it both liberating and empowering in their ability to share their faith more confidently with others, especially in schools and youth groups.

The third and final volume of A History of Cambridge University Press, covering 1873-1972.

Explores how the idea of rare books was shaped by collectors, traders and libraries from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. Using examples from across Europe, David McKitterick looks at how rare books developed from being desirable objects of largely private interest to become public and even national concerns.

This book will help experienced practitioners, newly qualified social workers and students alike to prepare for supervision. Guidelines, examples of good and bad practice and checklists make this book a useful tool for understanding what supervision means.

As we rely increasingly on digital resources, what is our responsibility to preserve 'old books' for the future? How was the question of preservation approached historically? David McKitterick's lively and wide-ranging study explores how 'old books' have been represented and interpreted from the eighteenth century to the present day.
