Educational Failure and Working Class White Children in Britain

Are schools failing working class children or does working class life present alternative means for gaining social status that conflict with what it means to do well at school? Focusing on Southeast London, this book provides insight into class values and reveals the complex cultural politics of white working class pride.

"Australia's Foreign Relations" is a rigorous, lively and comprehensive "insider" account of how Australian foreign policy works. It runs the full gamut of issues fundamental to Australia's place in, and relationships with, the world. It is aimed at researchers, policy makers and students of international relations, international economics, politics and history. Foreign Minister Gareth Evans and Bruce Grant are uniquely placed to present this authorative view. They provide a critique of the new internationalist agenda, from human rights and global environmental issues to arms control, and explain just what foreign ministers and diplomats actually "do". "Senator Gareth Evans has been Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade since September 1988. Bruce Grant is the author of a number of major books about foreign relations, particularly those with Asia.".

The Good, the Bad, and the Moral Dilemma examines how the quandary of the moment fits among the big moral issues. Drawing on a range of thinkers from the past, G. R. Evans explores the way practical questions of behavior have been approached through the centuries.

"I've danced the night away with handsome African women in Tombo Mary's, fallen in and out of love from Zanzibar to Yokohama, and seen the sun rise and set from Ghana to Nauru. I've brawled with crazy tanker crews in the Madhouse at Cucacao and been jailed in Chile. I've sailed with men you could trust your life with - and often did."

This is the practical introduction to the analytical approach taken in Volume 2. Based upon courses in partial differential equations over the last two decades, the text covers the classic canonical equations, with the method of separation of variables introduced at an early stage. The characteristic method for first order equations acts as an introduction to the classification of second order quasi-linear problems by characteristics. Attention then moves to different co-ordinate systems, primarily those with cylindrical or spherical symmetry. Hence a discussion of special functions arises quite naturally, and in each case the major properties are derived. The next section deals with the use of integral transforms and extensive methods for inverting them, and concludes with links to the use of Fourier series.

The subject of partial differential equations holds an exciting place in mathematics. Inevitably, the subject falls into several areas of mathematics. At one extreme the interest lies in the existence and uniqueness of solutions, and the functional analysis of the proofs of these properties. At the other extreme lies the applied mathematical and engineering quest to find useful solutions, either analytically or numerically, to these important equations which can be used in design and construction. The book presents a clear introduction of the methods and underlying theory used in the numerical solution of partial differential equations. After revising the mathematical preliminaries, the book covers the finite difference method of parabolic or heat equations, hyperbolic or wave equations and elliptic or Laplace equations. Throughout, the emphasis is on the practical solution rather than the theoretical background, without sacrificing rigour.
