A parliamentary by-election happens when a seat in the House of Commons becomes vacant between general elections, whether because the sitting MP dies, resigns, goes bankrupt, is convicted of a crime or is subject to a recall petition. By-elections can often appear to break the mould of British politics, signify the seemingly terminal decline of a particular political party or indicate the end of a premiership. Some take on iconic status or attract celebrity candidates and are remembered several decades after they take place. Others quickly disappear into the depths of our memories. As these pages will testify, however, theres rarely a dull contest.In this latest anthology, Iain Dale picks the most consequential by-elections of the modern era and presents a series of thoroughly researched and absorbing essays by some of our finest political writers, including Sir Vernon Bogdanor, Sir John Curtice, Simon Heffer, Julia Langdon, Lord Lexden, Andrew Marr, Tim Shipman and many others.This remarkable book uncovers unique stories of political tragedy, triumph, success and failure, set against the backdrop of some of the most dramatic moments in British parliamentary history.

What a wonderful book. Wolves through a prism of love, understanding and fascination. Derek Gow, author and ecologistWolves have been hunted to extinction in many countries, clung on in isolated populations near human communities and thrived in remote wilderness: theirs is a story of adaption and survival that is not yet finished.Once prevalent in Britain, the wolf has been much maligned and persecuted, but it has also been missed, and the return of the wolf in this compendium of tales mirrors the aspiration to reintroduce this ancient species to Britains recovering wild places.The wolf has wended its way into our collective imagination through traditional narratives around the world. Known as shapeshifter, this animal has weaved itself into our folklore for centuries; from the compelling protagonist and agent of change to the wily trickster and persecutor, and today as a totem of hope for the rewilding movement.Storyteller and outdoorsman Chris Salisbury ensures the legacy of this beloved creature lives on in an unforgettable collection of wolfish tales to tell out loud.

A primeira parte de nosso esforço repousa na análise dos resultados dos anos iniciais (1º ao 5º) do ensino fundamental (EF), que aqui chamaremos de fundamental 1 (F1); em seguida, nos ocuparemos dos resultados dos anos nais (6º ao 9º) do fundamental 2 (F2). Num terceiro momento, assumimos o desao de "comparar", com todo risco latente, o resultado dos fundamentais 1 e 2. Esperamos, ao nal, poder apresentar questes necessarias perante os desaos da politica educacional local e geral. No esforço de um olhar por dentro, observando a logica interna do Ideb, para assim, melhor compreender os resultados "para fora", ou seja, o que se quer esconder ou no se pode revelar: a) estaria o Ideb apenas reetindo as diferenças sociais e/ou em que medida os dados do Ideb contribuem para alimentar uma concorrencia entre as escolas, estudantes e familias, dilatando e aguçando as diferenças "escolares" e sociais? b) Alem de potencializar, estaria o Ideb se nutrindo das diferenças sociais? A primeira possibilidade pode sugerir uma condiço passiva, e as seguintes nos alertam para processos endogenos que podem dialogar com situaçes externas. Conversaremos com os "resultados" em nivel municipal observando por escola e regio. Partindo das escolas, de sua riqueza viva, concreta, e relacionando os resultados do Ideb as diferentes condiçes socioeconomicas em que as escolas esto imersas, esperamos desnudar/denunciar, alem do apartheid educacional, o olhar e as açes maniqueistas/alienigenas dos tecnoburocratas, e acrescentar um ingrediente a mais, a saber, as condiçes socioeconomicas e culturais que atravessam as escolas e esto presentes, querendo ou no, no desempenho e nos resultados destas. Logo, sustentamos que no existe neutralidade politica ou pedagogica nos resultados do Ideb. Como resultado temos o fetiche-deus-nota ou, nesta condiço, bonus e produto de uma fetichizaço do processo educativo, deliberado para alguns e inadvertido para muitos, imperando a individualizaço e a competiço, tira-se qualquer culpa dos expurgos de alunos e professores mal avaliados, da desidrataço de conteudos, da perda da horizontalidade nas relaçes de trabalho, no funcionamento das escolas e centralidade do trabalho pedagogico, tornando-o apenas um alimentador de plataformas, das degeneraçes das formaçes etc.
