Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new town of Milton Keynes was designated in 1967 with a bold, flexible social vision to impose "no fixed conception of how people ought to live." Despite this progressive social vision, and its low density, flexible, green urban design, the town has been consistently represented in British media, political rhetoric and popular culture negatively. as a fundamentally sterile, paternalistic, concrete imposition on the landscape, as a "joke", and even as "Los Angeles in Buckinghamshire". How did these meanings develop at such odds from residents' and planners' experiences? Why have these meanings proved so resilient? Milton Keynes in British Culture traces the representations of Milton Keynes in British national media, political rhetoric and popular culture in detail from 1967 to 1992, demonstrating how the town's founding principles came to be understood as symbolic of the worst excesses of a postwar state planning system which was falling from favour. Combining approaches from urban planning history, cultural history and cultural studies, political economy and heritage studies, the book maps the ways in which Milton Keynes' newness formed an existential challenge to ideals of English landscapes as receptacles of tradition and closed, fixed national identities. Far from being a marginal, "foreign" and atypical town, the book demonstrates how the changing political fortunes of state urban planned spaces were a key site of conflict around ideas of how the British state should function, how its landscapes should look, and who they should be for.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Established in 1967, Milton Keynes is England's largest new city and one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the UK. It is also a suburban city, genuinely liked and appreciated by most of its citizens. For many reasons, however, Milton Keynes is misunderstood, and its valuable recent lessons are mostly ignored in debates about national urban policy. This book discusses the popular and intellectual prejudices that have distorted understandings of the new city. A city is nothing without its people, of course, so Mark Clapson looks at who has moved to Milton Keynes, and discusses their experiences of settling in. He also confronts the common myth of the new city's soullessness with an account of community and association that emphasizes the strength of social interaction there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessing Communication describes and includes a practical assessment of functional communication in four parts. It will be of particular value to speech and language therapists and teachers working with pupils who have severe learning difficulties. It considers communication skills from the earliest interactions to the skills of children working within level one of the National Curriculum English. It will enable the reader to build a careful and detailed assessment of 'how' and 'what' a child is communicating and to assess a wide range of communication difficulties. A completed assessment will supply information to construct an individual, total communication system for each child, which can include sign, symbol and speech output devices. It will enable differing professionals to assess together using a shared framework and to then plan realistic support for an individual child. The assessments provided are photocopiable.
