Hayek on Liberty
Not available since the 1980s, this up-dated edition by the leading political philosopher, John Gray, outlines his new position on Hayek. In a substantial new chapter, Gray assesses how far the historical development of the last ten years can be deployed in a critique of Hayek's thought. His reassessment is not only a provoking study of a classical philosopher. It is also a timely contribution to the debate over the future of conservatism, as Gray argues that Hayekian liberalism - 'the most well-articulated political theory of the new right' - is flawed.

Seven types of atheism
\"For a generation now, public debate has been corroded by a shrill, narrow derision of religion in the name of an often vaugely understood 'science.' John Gray's... new book, Seven Types of Atheism, describes the complex, dynamic world of older atheisms, a tradition that, he writes, is in many ways intertwined with and as rich as religion itself.\"--Dust jacket flap.

The Cambridge Primary Review Research Surveys
The Cambridge Primary Review Research Surveys is the outcome of the Cambridge Primary Review - England's biggest enquiry into primary education for over forty years. Fully independent of government, it was launched in 2006 to investigate the condition and future of primary education at a time of change and uncertainty and after two decades of almost uninterrupted reform. Ranging over ten broad themes and drawing on a vast array of evidence, the Review published thiry-one interim reports, including twenty-eight surveys of published research, provoking media headlines and public debate, before presenting its final report and recommendations.
This book brings together the twenty-eight research surveys, specially commissioned from sixty-five leading academics in the areas under scrutiny and now revised and updated, to create what is probably the most comprehensive overview and evaluation of research in primary education yet published. A particular feature is the prominence given to international and comparative perspectives. With an introduction from Robin Alexander, the Review's director, the book is divided into eight sections, covering:
children's lives and voices: school, home and community
children's development, learning, diversity and needs
aims, values and contexts for primary education
the structure and content of primary education
outcomes, standards and assessment in primary education
teaching in primary schools: structures and processes
teaching in primary schools: training, development and workforce reform
policy frameworks: governance, funding, reform and quality assurance.
The Cambridge Primary Review Research Surveys is an essential reference tool for p
