Advisory Councils and Committees in Education

By: Maurice Kogan,Tim Packwood

First published in 1974, Advisory Councils and Committees in Education is an analytical account of the role of advisory councils and committees in creating and promulgating educational policies. The book reviews systematically the content of twenty-eight reports starting with the Hadow Report of 1926, in terms of developments in educational philosophy, government and administration, social policy and the economics of education. It also analyses the membership and working of the committees. The study is based on historical and organizational analysis. It is concerned not only with what the councils did but takes up the wider questions of the place of such councils and committees in educational government and their relevance for changing assumptions about other ways in which government is advised. This book will be of interest to students of education, pedagogy and public policy.

Want to Go Out for a Bite?

Marv Albert's Favorite Pick-Up Line and Other Jokes from the Headlines

By: Tim Harrod

Whitewater. O.J. Simpson. Microsoft. Marv Albert. It takes dedication to seriously follow the day's evolving issues. But crack a joke about current events and you've got everyone's attention! In this first in a series of annual jokefest wrap-ups, editor Tim Harrod has collected some of the funniest gags based on events in the world during the past year. From Michael Jackson to sheep cloning to presidential blunders, "Want to Go Out for a Bite?" delivers timely laughs. Filled with riddles, knock-knocks, clever cracks, and short anecdotes, "Want to Go Out for a Bite?" taps into the American mainstream with some of the best quips and witticisms about some of recent history's most turbulent times. -- If the best gift one can receive is something a child has made, does that mean the best gift is anything from the Kathie Lee Gifford clothing collection? -- What does it mean when the flag at the post office is flying at half-mast? Now hiring! -- How successful was McDonald's $.55 Big Mac promotion? Ronald McDonald recently spent a night in the Lincoln bedroom. With "Want to Go Out for a Bite?", fans and followers of the day's events can take a lighter approach to news. Culled from the giant pool that is today's media, this book is the consummate gift for every American who has been overloaded with information about politics, celebrities, and conspiracy theories -- and needs a way to kick back and guffaw. What better way to make sense of the day's events than to make fun of them?

Endangered Rivers and the Conservation Movement

Endangered Rivers and the Conservation Movement

By: Tim Palmer

A dam proposal sparked the first great conservation battle in the United States when John Muir fought to safeguard Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park. Since then, people have worked to preserve free-flowing rivers from Florida to Alaska, and in doing so, they have changed the way natural resources are managed in America. In Endangered Rivers, Tim Palmer traces the growth of this movement and he chronicles the development of a national consciousness that values our rivers as lifelines for wildlife, fisheries, parks, wilderness, recreation, and communities. Based on careful research and hundreds of interviews, Palmer's information-packed narrative is regarded as a classic in the field of conservation. The first edition of this book is now updated and includes two new chapters that chart the course of conservation during the past twenty years and explore how the movement to protect rivers will likely change in the twenty-first century. This book will fascinate all who care about rivers and it will engage those who seek to understand environmental history, resources management, and the evolution of government programs in response to people's changing needs.

Politics Weird-o-Pedia

The Ultimate Book of Surprising, Strange, and Incredibly Bizarre Facts about Politics

By: Tim Rowland

Government and politics might seem twisted today, but they’ve always been strange. There’s something about public office that, throughout time, has transcended normalcy. Politics Weird-o-Pedia presents some of the oddest and most interesting political absurdities and tidbits from around the world, from Peter the Great’s tax on beards to a lawmaker’s mistress whom he kept on the congressional payroll despite her admission that “I can't type, I can't file, I can't even answer the phone.” Eminences include: Some of America’s Founding Fathers wanted to jail newspaper reporters. A Mongolian conqueror liked to build cement walls out of the bodies of his vanquished opponents (while they were still alive). An all-female resistance to nuclear missiles in Britain resulted in a protest that lasted for nineteen years—long after the missiles were gone. Politics Weird-o-Pedia doesn’t stand still for a minute. It is intriguing, funny, and occasionally startling. It is more than a collection of trivia, adding bits of context and historical vignettes that make it clear that no matter how dysfunctional politics and government might seem today—we’ve been through it all many times before.

Worcestershire's One Championship Match Cricketers

By: Tim Jones

This definitive and expertly researched work chronicles the careers and life stories of 61 Worcestershire cricketers who played just a single game of Championship cricket for the county. The breadth and depth of material not only provides the career details of each player, which you would expect to see in such a publication, it reaches way beyond that. It includes at least one photograph of each player, and in several instances, details of births, deaths, schools, universities attended and chosen careers; have been included or corrected based on new information which has come to light. Coupled to that, it provides a fascinating insight into the lives of players and dovetails as a social history of the last 120 years. Due to this research, and because of the thorough work undertaken by the author, the identity of two players has been changed completely. It has; therefore, necessitated the re-writing of existing and hitherto definitive, established cricket records. While many of the players may not be household names, the book celebrates their remarkable lives and careers away from the cricket field, because each has a unique story to tell. Included are great Test cricketers, stalwarts of league cricket and those who excelled in their own professions or served their community and country with dignity. Whether at other sports, within education, business and commerce or during times of conflict - the latter tinged with sadness that two of the players paid the ultimate sacrifice - they all helped to forge a unique place in Worcestershire's cricketing history.
