"a rich inter-weaving of carefully articulated critical stances... It is impossible, in a short review, to do justice to the quality and variety of all these perspectives... The result is strong coverage of the territory set out in the title, in ways that many working in the field will find valuable." (Phil Hodkinson, Journal of Education for Teaching)Universities are undergoing a series of profound changes. One of the more pronounced of these involves the partnerships that are now being formed between business enterprises and higher education. The emergence of these partnerships has much to do with the changing economy, which is increasingly based around knowledge and information - the traditional stock-in-trade of the university. Knowledge capitalism has given a renewed impetus to higher education. One expression of this is work-based learning, which challenges the scope and site of the university curriculum. This book analyses this development from a number of perspectives: critical, historical, philosophical, sociological and pedagogical. Its various contributors argue that work-based approaches contain much that is challenging to the university, and also much that could help to create new frameworks of learning and new roles for academics. Working Knowledge offers a comprehensive examination of the new vocationalism in higher education.

Following his earlier works, The Shape of Christology and The Shape of Soteriology, John McIntyre now addresses one of the most difficult aspects of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit -- namely the heterogeneity of the biblical and traditional material from which the doctrine derives. Professor McIntyre reviews the entire history of the doctrine, examining biblical references, Greek patristic thought and other sources. He considers whether the modern church has "betrayed" the insights, vision and experience of the New Testament church and points to the areas in which the church must act if it is to recover the sense of the immediacy of the Spirit both in its corporate life and in the Lives of individuals.

A thoroughly revised and expanded edition of this classic work to complete John McIntyre's trilogy in Christian doctrine: soteriology, pneumatology and Christology.McIntyre analyses the three classic christological formulations: the two-nature model with divine and human natures uniting in Jesus Christ; the psychological model, derived from the chalcedonian understanding of the humanity of Christ, and from a strong devotional desire to know his mind; and the revelation model, which has dominated western Christology for most of the twentieth-century.

The Children of Peace, which existed from 1812 to 1890, was started by former Quakers from the United States who set up a utopian community near Toronto. With their propensity for fine architecture, music, and ritual, adherents to the sect attracted the attention of the religious, political, and social élites. Their leader and founder, David Willson, was one of the most prolific religious writers and theorists in Canada at the time. The Children of Peace sought to create a church where God spoke directly to all and where both Christians and Jews could find a home. McIntyre looks at life in the community and places the sect within its broader historical contexts. His examination of the community's buildings and artefacts provides insight into the beliefs and behaviour of its adherents. Children of Peace makes an important contribution to the growing field of religious and cultural history in Canada.

This new volume, written by 13 recognized experts in their fields, is the first work to simultaneously investigate three major contexts in which technology transfer occurs--North-South, West-West, and East-West--and to bring together state of the art findings in this crucial issue. Drawn from papers prepared for a recent international conference on technology transfer, it includes the work of distinguished academicians, officials of government and international bodies, technical experts, corporate executives, and international lawyers. In the opening section, four specialists consider the transfer process from the vantage point of particular disciplines--economics, political science, law, and history--offering an integrative framework and principles instead of the usual narrow political or economic analysis. The second group of essays deals with North-South technology relations, stressing the role of technology in development, the prospects for the creation of scientific and technological capabilities in developing countries, and the central role of technology transfer in the agricultural/political economy of the Third World. The section on West-West transfers focuses on technological relations among industrialized nations, the status of Japan as a technological power, the interaction of science and technology, and the rule of multinational corporations. The final section investigates the strategic and military dimensions of technology transfer with Communist bloc nations. Three important topics are discussed: Western technology trade control policies toward the Communist block; the impact of Western technology on Soviet bloc countries; and China's emerging technology relations with the United States and other industrialized nations. A critical overview assesses the role of technology transfer in the overall technological process as well as in international affairs. Up-to-date bibliographies for each section makes the volume especially useful as a research tool for scholars and practitioners in the field.

With their sharp teeth and keen sense of prey, sharks outlived dinosaurs and have survived 400 million years. BBC journalist and veteran diver John McIntyre has been swimming close to these sleek, swift predators for much of his adult life. His Sharks: Savage Predators of the Oceans is both a tribute to these mythic creatures and a cogent examination of our often-bumbling encounters with them.
