The Reverend Ernest Cudlipp, almost 45, urbane and intelligent, is vicar of a prominent Fifth Avenue church in New York. Men and Brethren follows him through a singularly eventful summer weekend, his dealings with parishioners and friends, his professional and personal relationships. His solutions to the problems he confronts are characteristically forthright, often unorthodox, a product of the struggle between his beliefs and his experience. Mr. Cozzens has written a deceptively powerful novel, filled with ironical intelligence, incisive portraiture, and onrushing action. "Altogether vivid, exciting and unusual…it makes a deep impression."―Cyril Connolly, New Statesman. "A remarkable portrait…The plot is so suave and sophisticated as to be completely beguiling…Cudlipp himself, no matter how much you may dislike him, and perhaps because of that dislike, is virulently alive."―New York Times. "A brilliantly integrated and authentic characterization…Mr. Cozzens deserves almost special praise for creating a clergyman as real as Ernest Cudlipp."―Louis Kronenberger, The Nation. “It's a perfect gem and should be a must on the list of everyone involved in the church and in the modern novel at its best.”―Churchman.

<p>This book examines the implications of the 1988 Education Reform Act in respect of the National Curriculum including core subjects, foundation subjects, attainment targets and the national arrangements for the assessment and testing of pupils. It covers the implications of marrying the national curriculum requirements to other major curriculum initiatives (TVEI, GCSE, CPVE, AS levels) and will draw comparisons with some European countries. The management of the curriculum will be looked at from a number of standpoints: primary head, secondary head, local authority adviser, chief education officer, HMI, school governor and parent. The book examines the impact of the changes on the minds of those who have to run the schools, revealing their assumptions and strategies as they are about to embark on adjusting their own school's curriculum to the national requirements. It illuminates some issues for headteachers and others who will have to implement the changes and also looks at Local Education Authorities whose role will change not merely in the period of implementation, but subsequently as they act as regulatory bodies of the new system.</p>
