In Clothing Gandhi’s Nation, Lisa Trivedi explores the making of one of modern India’s most enduring political symbols, khadi: a homespun, home-woven cloth. The image of Mohandas K. Gandhi clothed simply in a loincloth and plying a spinning wheel is familiar around the world, as is the sight of Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and other political leaders dressed in "Gandhi caps" and khadi shirts. Less widely understood is how these images associate the wearers with the swadeshi movement―which advocated the exclusive consumption of indigenous goods to establish India’s autonomy from Great Britain―or how khadi was used to create a visual expression of national identity after Independence. Trivedi brings together social history and the study of visual culture to account for khadi as both symbol and commodity. Written in a clear narrative style, the book provides a cultural history of important and distinctive aspects of modern Indian history.

This new and completely redesigned edition surveys the myriad holy men, mystics and ascetics of India: their prehistoric origins; beliefs, gods and sects; initiation, training and daily lives; appearance, practices and belongings; sacred places and festivals; austerities, the inner fire and the quest for a higher plane of being. It is a vibrant, arresting and carefully curated gallery, taking in long-haired sages, devotees of Shiva, Vishnu and Brahman, naked wanderers, silent hermits, holy warriors, painted showmen, mantra-chanting yogis, ash-clad madmen, and seekers after and pathways to Enlightenment. Dolf Hartsuikers expert explanations, wry comments and striking, revealing photos bring to life the mysterious and varied lives of the Sadhus.

Disruptive behaviour has a severe impact on both teachers' morale and pupils' levels of attainment - and tackling this problem is an enormous challenge for primary schools. A recent study commissioned by the NUT found that more than 80 per cent of teachers in schools of all types in rural, urban and inner city areas say that pupil behaviour has deteriorated during their time of teaching. Teachers are looking for effective solutions. This series consists of ready-to-use activity books which provide ideas and exercises designed to improve pupils' behaviour and also give guidance on preventing and correcting misbehaviour. Each title relates to the National Curriculum guidelines for Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) for Key Stages 1 and 2. Included are "Quick Start" activities which require little or no preparation, over 25 photocopiable activity sheets and "Task Cards" written for pupils which provide further individual and group activities."
