With a second recession looming, Britain is facing a moment of truth. This book examines how the leader of the industrial revolution came to exhibit the features of a 'developing country'; chronic debt, volatile growth and vulnerability to external events. Going South explains how this has happened, arguing that the time for quick fixes is over.

Management-science or management-art? This text addresses this question through a philosophy of an art-related management practice, contributing a paradigmatic thesis of management practiced as an art-form. It goes beyond the extension of aesthetic understanding to management and organization study to aid understanding of management.

This work draws upon important developments in contemporary philosophy and the social sciences, particularly semiotics, hermeneutics, post-structuralism and psychoanalysis, which focus on the centrality of language, discourse and power in order to understand social processes. It applies such study to the professional field of art in education and in doing so develops insights into how art practice is conceived in this field and how children, students and teachers acquire their particular identities. The distinctive and unique approach of the book is that it opens up art education to the broader field of social enquiry into practice, subjectivity and identity thereby situating art education within a shifting ideological and political space. New perspectives are opened for teachers, teacher educators and student teachers as well as researchers and other professionals involved in art education.

Animal Developmental Ecology is the first book to focus specifically on the interactions between the environment and developmental mechanisms with particular emphasis given to the consequences for animal populations. The underlying premise of the book is that the study of physiological mechanisms alongside the analysis of adaptive values will enable rapid advances in our knowledge of this important field. With contributors from well-known experts, the book will be invaluable for all postgraduates and researchers in this area.
