Once it was just Mods and Rockers or Hippies and Skinheads. Now we have Riot Grrls and Rappers; Modern Primitives and Metalheads; Goths, Clubcultures and Fetishists; Urban Tribes, New Age Travelers and Internet fan groups. It is - unsurprisingly - becoming increasingly difficult to pinpoint exactly what "subculture" actually means. The Post-Subcultures Reader is the first book to reconsider the use of this term. Is it possible to work within its existing limitations? Can we reformulate outdated notions of this expression to make it applicable to the twenty-first century? And to what extent

The world-wide reform movement has now been in process for thirty years and it is therefore perhaps an appropriate point to consider its implications for the work of teachers thus far and to ponder on the future. It would be widely agreed that the reform movement in general, and in relation to teachers work in particular, has brought advantages and disadvantages. It has stimulated teacher development and increased the accountability of teachers to clients including the state as client. On the other hand, it has led to the intensification of teachers work and to the deprofessionalisation as wel

As more and more westerners study and practice Buddhism, reliable modern translations of the Buddha’s teachings are increasingly in demand. One of the main sources for knowledge of the Buddhadharma is the four Pali Nikayas or "collections" of his sayings. Written in Pali, an ancient Indian language closely related to Sanskrit, the Nikayas are among the oldest Buddhist texts and consist of more than one and a half million words. This new translation offers a selection of the Buddha’s most important sayings, reflecting the full variety of material contained in the Nikayas: the centra

1915. And a biographical note by Margaret Lavington. A collection of verse from the English poet, who at the outbreak of World War I joined the Royal Naval Division, served at Antwerp, and was in the Dardanelles expedition when he died of blood poisoning at the island of Skiros. Handsome and athletic, Brooke was also charming, intellectual, and witty, and was universally sought in society. His early fame and tragic death have made him an almost legendary figure and he is remembered as the War Poet.
