This book is a detailed study of higher education institutions affiliated to particular religions. It considers the debates surrounding academic freedom, institutional governance, educational policy, mission and identity together with institutions’ relations with the state and their wider communities. A wide range of institutions are examined, including: Christian, Islamic and Jewish universities in the US, Europe and the Middle East. Essentially, this volume questions whether such institutions can be both religious and a ‘university’ and also considers the appropriate role of religious faith within colleges and universities.

Designed for all students learning to teach in secondary schools, and particularly those on school-based Initial Teacher Training courses, the books in this best-selling series complement our key textbook Learning to Teach in the Secondary School and its companion Starting to Teach in the Secondary School. Each book in the series applies underpinning theory and addresses practical issues to support students in school and in the higher education institution in learning how to teach a particular subject. This revised edition of the student reference guide for student teachers of history enables the reader to teach history in a way that pupils will find interesting, enjoyable and purposeful. It incorporates a wide range of ideas about the teaching of history with practical suggestions for classroom practice, and ideas for further investigations of particular aspects of teaching and learning in history. The book also covers questions such as how to provide for differential learning and how to utilise the potential of new technology in the history classroom. The new edition has an updated chapter on ICT and reflects the recent changes in emphasis in the history curriculum including citizenship, and social, cultural and ethnic diversity. The induction of newly qualified teachers is addressed as are recent concerns about teachers' subject knowledge. The first edition rapidly became the key textbook in this field and has consistently enjoyed large sales. The second edition is destined to perform even better.

Most of us today have reservations about the direction our country is taking. We are beginning to question the wisdom of our leaders, both in Congress and in the White House. Recent polls indicate that our President has a 30% approval rating (or less) while the ratings are even lower for the Congress. Most of us regret that our military ever entered Iraq, as we witness the mess we have made there and the missing "back door" for getting out. Meanwhile things are becoming more uncertain here at home as we see increasing fuel costs and declining home values. Inflation, which is scarcely ever mentioned by our politicians, is steadily eating away at our exposed underbelly. Our decayed infrastructure is crumbling while our tax dollars needed to repair it are being thrown away in the Middle East.Crime here at home is growing increasingly more violent, as is the entertainment we relish. Our national pastime has become unrestrained lust with the accompanying result of uncontrollable sexually transmitted diseases. The current presidential field has produced another round of guaranteed "same old failed policies," with not a hope of correcting what is wrong with our country. The system is what is wrong. The Author asks, "Why don't we try following the instruction manual for a change?" The answers to our problems have been with us all along...but nobody would believe our Creator's words. Very soon now, everyone will be ready to listen as the winds of nuclear war are unleashed and global devastation overtakes us. The Author invites you to see the future that awaits us, as faithfully recorded in the Holy Scriptures. It is far different than most of us have been led to believe.
