Education for survival is a critique of educational practice, based on the author's personal experience and forty years of teaching in universities, as well as observation of the progress of the author's children and grandchildren through school and university. The author concludes that a process of superficial learning, followed by exams and immediate forgetfulness, serves no useful purpose for the student or for society as a whole. Feats of memory are richly rewarded, to the exclusion of all other abilities. Much that has survival value, such as simple hygiene, is not taught or is treated as another academic subject, to be examined and then forgotten. Science is taught as history, without discovery or imagination, and most schools do not include subjects such as engineering. Many students decide that they cannot do maths because the subject is taught unsympathetically and too quickly, with the result that they cannot manage their own finances.From the time that universities in England and Wales were obliged to charge tuition fees there has been a tendency to devise courses that are superficially attractive but add little to the student's employability. In many cases, a student who has common sense and a level of practical ability finds that an academic course does not suit them. On graduating they find jobs hard to find and society loses a potentially useful contributor. Schools often regard entry to university as a success but if the outcome is a loss of income, with no saleable skills, nobody gains.Education for survival is presented as a series of essays that can be read separately, covering a wide range of topics from the education of politicians to the structure of the school day, provocative in parts but always constructive.

Children are the life-blood sentiment for this author, as you will see, they are the lights in which to illuminate those lives they choose to enlighten.Her book has been brought into this hemisphere so that it can become a source of universal consciousness. Orb carries all that wish to travel within her sphere. Her dream is to heal.
DeVille started as a bobby on the beat and rose rapidly through the ranks of the Metropolitan Police to become one of their foremost detectives. The stories in this collection are based on his experiences and are all true - except one, and even that is true-to-life. DeVille dealt with many crimes and misdemeanours but always fairly, never over-stepping the mark. His stories reveal a caring and considerate approach to his criminal flock. At the same time these stories are often excursions into a curious land where truth is stranger than fiction and populated by uncommissioned police dogs, invisible cyclists, flying-horses, gorilla-suited interviewers, and straight-talking crickets. In fact the more serious his subject, the more hilarious the story he tells. In his tales of The London Village of Melsham, included in full in this collection, he shows his affection for the larger-than-life characters who once lived and worked in that place and who always kept him on his toes not so very long ago.DeVille did murders. Or rather he investigated them. And in telling his often grim tales, he reveals much about his own psychological make-up. In order to deal with the horrors of dismembered bodies and inconceivable wickedness, DeVille is driven to repeat his story, to repeat it to any and all who will listen. He regularly gathers a crowd of listeners and commands a table at the Pig & Whistle, somewhere in the depths of South London.Throughout this book DeVille confesses much to his Writer, who affectionately prods and prompts, revealing the full extent of DeVille's devotion to duty and the welfare of all. This is the true story of Detective DeVille of the Metropolitan Police, of Detective DeVille the Urban Shepherd.
