Tales of Bellerophon -on the Banks of the Shalimar

By: Tony Ashenden

In January 2005 Tony Ashenden sat down after lunch and ... disappeared. When he reappeared 20 minutes later his entire world had changed. During the next nine months a series of extraordinary experiences led him to question his sanity and the very meaning of life. Tales of Bellerophon -On the Banks of the Shalimar is the tale of one man's soul journey, a perilous adventure into unknown worlds beyond our form and time; in which he struggles both to understand these experiences and to reconcile his own identity with the different person he becomes. How events of childhood and youth are revealed for their true meaning and life's purpose expands beyond comprehension. Are we one or many? How did Man evolve? These and other fundamental questions are answered in this life changing account. This book is a revelation of human nature beyond the grave, of a continuity that sobers the most expectant and will shock those secure in their belief that death is the end.

In Pursuit of Right Order

By: Tony Ashenden

This is a workbook essentially -the meditations reveal instrumental understanding, the power to receive and act upon intuitional knowledge. Ideally you should be taught these modes of meditation by a qualified BodyMind Power Meditation teacher, but should you view this book unaware of a teacher, and want to get started -then you can. Follow the guidance given in the book, the practise is inherently safe, but should you begin to experience mental and emotional changes disturbing your sense of well-being, stop the practise and consult a practitioner who is knowledgeable of psychic expression, and/or a reputable counselling person. BodyMind Power Meditation is not a religious practise - neither does it encourage you to be religious, you can be an Atheist, Agnostic, or profess to be Humanist. You can be a psychic practitioner, a complementary or alternative therapist or none of these, perhaps a hard-nosed business person! This practise can benefit all, whatever your way of life.

Effective Schooling for the Community

Core-Plus Education

By: Tony Townsend

This book offers a new perspective on the management of schools by bringing together the knowledge and understanding of school effectiveness and community education. Tony Townsend argues that the core activity of the school, to provide a learning environment for children, should be supplemented by educational activities that service the needs of the community as a whole. He offers a model for the development of the `core-plus' school, including practical ideas for school leaders to build strategies for improving school programme possiblities and processes to encourage greater community involvement.

Teacher Education in Australia: Investigations into Programming, Practicum and Partnership.

By: David E. Lynch,Tony Yeigh

In the last decade in Australia teacher education has undergone numerous critical reviews, yet little on the teacher education front appears to have changed. Related to this, the teaching profession's struggles to cope with a changing world have been publicly documented and an increasing push for improved school outcomes from Australian governments, at both the state and federal level, appear as regular pieces in the national press. This forms a complex situation involving competing concerns, and raises questions concerning what to make of the situation and how to move teacher education forward in Australia. This book seeks to answer these questions by providing an evidence-based framework for investigating and directing teacher education practice into the future.

EBOOK: EDUCATION AND THE MIDDLE CLASS

EBOOK: EDUCATION AND THE MIDDLE CLASS

By: Sally Power,Tony Edwards,Valerie Wigfall

It is often assumed that for middle class and academically able children, schooling is a straightforward process that leads to academic success, higher education and entry into middle class occupations. However this fascinating book shows these relationships to be complex and often uncertain. Based on the biographies of 350 young men and women who might have been considered 'destined for success' at the start of their secondary schooling, the book maps out the educational pathways they took. It analyses their subsequent achievements and entry into employment and compares them with their parents, with one another, and with their generation. Identifying patterns in the data, it also explores examples of extraordinary success and failure, and various forms of interrupted and disrupted careers. As well as documenting a compelling human story, the findings have important implications for current policy debates about academic selection, access to elite universities, and the limits of meritocracy.

Rendezvous with Death

Artists & Writers in the Thick of It, 1914–1918

By: Tony Geraghty

This book sheds new light on the colorful personalities including Wilfred Owen, Rupert Brooke, Alan Seeger, Ivor Gurney, Edward Thomas, Isaac Rosenberg, Ralph Vaughan Williams and George Butterworth, all major figures among England's creative artists during the First World War.Thanks to the authors research and knowledge, the book is a very English story about the tragically short spring of English artistic creativity between 1910 and 1920; the greatest such renaissance since Shakespeare and Purcell in the 17th century. It focuses on these exceptional poets, composers and artists' experiences in the front line and what resulted from these.A short personal Preface records that the authors father, Sergeant Major Anthony Geraghty (later anglicized as Garrity) survived one year and 271 days on the front line with the British Expeditionary Force in France and Flanders including the Somme, in which he served alongside the composer Butterworth in 13th Battalion, Durham Light Infantry.

Steel

A Design, Cultural and Ecological History

By: Tony Fry,Anne-Marie Willis

Steel has, over centuries, played a crucial role in shaping our material, and in particular, urban landscapes. This books undertakes a cultural and ecological history of the material, examining the relationship between steel and design at a micro and macro level – in terms of both what it has been used to design and how it has functioned as a 'world-making force'. The research for the book is informed by diverse sources including industry journals, contemporary accounts and technical literature – all framed by rich, early accounts of iron and steel making from the middle ages to the opening of the industrial age, and most notably, the crucial works of Vannoccio Biringuccio, Georgius Agricola, Andrew Ure and Harry Scrivenor. In contrast, trans-cultural accounts of the history of metallurgy from eminent sinologists and cultural historians like Joseph Needham and G.E.R. Lloyd are used. Readings on the pre-history and history of science, as well as histories and philosophies technology from scholars such as Siegfried Giedion, Merritt Roe Smith, L.T.C Rolt, Robert B. Gordon inform the analysis. Social and economic history from historians such as Eric Hobsbawn, William T. Hogan and David Brody are consulted; labour process theory is also examined, particularly the influential writings of F.W. Taylor in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and his contemporary critics, like David Nobel and Harry Braverman. Many other disciples also inform the account: histories of urban design and architecture, transport and military history, environmental history and geography.

Fringe to Famous

Cultural Production in Australia After the Creative Industries

By: Tony Moore,Mark Gibson,Chris McAuliffe,Maura Edmond

Fringe to Famous examines exchange between small scenes of cultural production and mainstream institutions and markets. Drawing on Australian examples in music, streetwear, comedy, screen and digital games, it argues that there has been much greater crossover between the two than is generally recognized. The book resists a tendency to represent fringe and mainstream as abstract opposites, bringing a focus instead to concrete historical formations. It offers an alternative both to romantic celebrations of a 'pure' fringe – discredited now by half a century of critical responses to the counterculture – and to an increasingly hardened anti-romantic reaction. Drawing on extensive original interviews, Fringe to Famous offers an overview of transformations in Australian culture since the 1980s, concluding with suggestions for cultural policy 'after the creative industries'. It proposes an idea of 'generative hybridity' between fringe and mainstream that allows us to imagine new possibilities for arts and culture in the 2020s and beyond.
