New titles for January
**********************

In 'The education debate', part of our Policy and Politics in the
Twenty-First Century series, Stephen Ball provides a substantive account of
current education policy trends and offers a way to make sense of what is
happening to our experience of education, as learners, as teachers, as
parents and as citizens. Read an extract in our reading room
(https://www.policypress.org.uk/general/reading_room.php) or, for more
information, go to

'Uprooted' is Roy Parker's fascinating exploration into the economic,
religious, political and personal forces that led to some 80,000 British
children being sent to Canada between 1867 and 1915. We are currently
offering a 30% discount on this title - please go to

'A deafening silence', by Patrizia Romito, analyses male violence against
women and children, and the mechanisms society develops to push it out of
sight. Read an extract in our reading room
(https://www.policypress.org.uk/general/reading_room.php) or go to

In 'Well-being', Beverley Searle considers what makes us happy, using a new
approach that directly addresses the circumstances under which high
subjective well-being is experienced, often with surprising results. For
more information, please see
https://www.policypress.org.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=&products_id=1231

'Partnerships', by Niels Åkerstrøm Andersen, improves our understanding of
the shifting ground on which partnerships and agreements must be reached in
today's hyper-complex society. Please see
