Kris Longknife: Mutineer

By: Mike Shepherd

Kris Longknife is a daughter of privilege, born to money and power. Her father is the Prime Minister of her home planet, her mother the consummate politician’s wife. She’s been raised only to be beautiful and to marry well. But the heritage of the military Longknifes courses through Kris’s blood—and, against her parents’ objections, she enlists in the marines. She has a lot to live up to and a lot to prove in the long-running struggle between her powerful family, a highly defensive—and offensive—Earth, and the hundreds of warring colonies. And then an ill-conceived attack brings the war close to home, putting Kris’s life on the line. Now she has only one choice: certain death on the front lines of rim space—or mutiny...

The Arts in Education

An introduction to aesthetics, theory and pedagogy

By: Mike Fleming

Do the arts improve academic achievement? What does it mean to ‘teach’ art? What should the balance of classic and pop be in the music curriculum? Should we encourage young children on the stage? How do we judge whether what a child produces is good? How do we justify the arts in the curriculum? What should be the balance between form and content when teaching art? The arts in education inspire considerable commitment and passion. However, this is not always matched by clarity of understanding. In this book Mike Fleming introduces the reader to key theoretical questions associated with arts education and clearly explains how these are related to practice. It offers an authoritative account of how ideas relevant to education are addressed by key authors in aesthetics, art theory and cultural studies. Covering all aspects of arts education, the book considers: definitions and theories of art influences on teaching the arts researching the arts teaching and learning creativity assessment. Throughout the book there are examples of practice to illustrate key ideas and a discussion of useful background texts with a summary of content and arguments for further exploration. Written by a leading authority in the field, it is essential reading for students on Arts PGCE and M Level courses, teachers of the arts and policy developers that require more understanding and insight into their practice.

I Was A Teenage Treacle Tin

By: Mike Kent

In I Was A Teenage Treacle Tin, Mike looks back to his childhood and growing up in 1950s London. It was a time of innocence and trust, when parents didn’t worry where their children were or what they were doing as long as they turned up for their tea. Here are the events, situations and characters he encountered during a crowded childhood. His growing fascination with cinema after he’d received a toy projector for Christmas, his traumatic stay in hospital having his tonsils removed, the dentist who cared little about children and terrified him, the teachers who bored him rigid at secondary school, and his thoroughly enjoyable misadventures camping with the Boy Scouts. He also describes his halcyon holidays with his parents in Kent, injuring himself with his home-made fireworks, starting his great love of music with a temperamental wind-up gramophone and the bitter sweetness of first love. With nostalgia and great affection, Mike looks back at a child’s world that can only be imagined today.
