Best Selling Books by Brian Cox

The two best selling books from Professor Brian Cox, bundled into one.

The faith-based reconciliation process is an innovative approach to diplomacy and peacemaking that has been developed over the past twenty years by Brian Cox who brings together a unique background in politics, theological and pastoral training, conflict resolution and international experience. This approach is defined by eight core values and by a deliberative process that focuses on creating a reconciling spirit between antagonists as a prelude to constructive joint problem solving. As a methodology it is not a form of interfaith dialogue or a traditional confl ict resolution model. It is a totally unique process that causes participants to search the depths of their own being and to experience at the deepest level the heart of "the other" in a faith-based context. It is Abrahamic reconciliation!

Ever since he was an undergraduate, Brian Cox, editor of the Black Papers on Education (1969-1977), chairman of the National Curriculum English Working Group which led the Cox Report, and founder-editor of Critical Quarterly, has been a poet. To mark his retirement as John Edward Taylor Professor of English at Manchester University, Carcanet have published his Collected Poems, including work from his previous books Every Common Sight (1981) and Two-Headed Monster (1985) as well as new poems. The poetry has the virtues of his autobiography The Great Betrayal: Memoirs of a Life in Education (1992). The poems come to rest in relationship, in celebrations of marriage and the stabilities of abiding love.

Wer sind wir? Woher kommen wir? Sind wir allein im Universum? Ist unser Dasein reiner Zufall oder wurde der Kosmos für den Menschen geschaffen? – Dieses Buch stellt sie: Die großen Fragen unserer Ursprünge, unseres Schicksals und nach unserem Platz im All. In "Mensch und Universum" gehen Professor Brian Cox und Andrew Cohen den Lösungen dieser Rätsel mit wissenschaftlicher Detektivarbeit auf den Grund. Vom Faustkeil bis Einstein, vom Affen zum Astronauten – die Evolution menschlicher Erkenntnis ist Grund genug, ihre Antworten mit größter Hingabe zu erforschen. "Das Unverständlichste am Universum ist im Grunde, dass wir es verstehen." -- Albert Einstein "Physik ist besser als Rock''n''Roll" – Brian Cox Deutsche Ausgabe des Sunday-Times-Bestellers "Human Universe"

This Three-Books-in-One package is probably the ultimate authority in the field of child protection and safety, not only because the primary author is an experienced police officer and law enforcement college instructor, but because it is presented as training manuals for both parents and children. The author states that "talking to" your children is ineffective. Children who have been told never to talk to or go with a stranger always fail when put to the test. Children must be trained using sound principles of child education. This book provides excellent information about child safety and protection, plus the methodology to teach it effectively. The third book in the package provides excellent stories and poems from the "Days of Yore", with full color illustrations to teach children in an entertaining manner.

Aimed at teachers of English at all levels, this is a commentary on the Cox Reports by Professor C.B.Cox himself. The book gives an explanation of the thinking behind the Reports, an account of the actual process of compiling them, and their reception by the Government and the media.

This book provides teachers with an authoritative guide to implementing the new English curriculum in the classroom. A continuation of Cox on Cox, it also provides an informed account of the debates and manoeuvrings which shaped the new curriculum.
