4.2 Reactor safety: the Chernobyl incident
The transformation of radioactive uranium and, in some instances, thorium isotopes provides vastly more energy per unit mass of fuel than any other energy source, except nuclear fusion, and therein lies its greatest attraction. The unit considers the advantages and limitations of generating this power and the environmental and security issues that the process raises.

Darfur/Darfur: The Crisis
Six years after Darfur made its appearance on the world stage, the horrific crisis burns on, as these panelists vividly attest. In a forum companion to the traveling exhibit DARFUR/DARFUR, the speakers provide big picture political context, as well as actual images from the field.

What do we mean by "family"?
The idea of ‘family’ is very powerful in contemporary UK culture and policy. Family lives have been the subject of many anxieties both at the personal and policy levels. How do public debates relate to people’s everyday experiences of families? In this unit, you can explore the many attempts at defining ‘family’ and why these complex and contradictory meanings are important to us. We begin to unpick questions of power and inequality, to test our everyday assumptions about families, and
References 1.5.4 Summary The Euro has become an important currency of denomination for government and corporate bonds. There is now emerging a two-currency world, made up of the US dollar and the EU Euro. The advantages to countries of being able to borrow internationally in their own currencies have not been lost to them, so there will be an incentive for the east-Asian countries to develop their own ‘regional’ financial markets. 1.5.3 Looking forward: implications and possible consequences But what are the implications of these developments and trends? Clearly the emergence of a strong east-Asian bond market could threaten both the US dollar and the Euro markets, but this development is still in its infancy, and there are significant political and economic differences of interest amongst the possible east-Asian participants in such a market. So for the time being it will be the Euro and the US dollar that hold centre stage. But in as much as the Euro becomes a stronger currency 1.5.1 A ‘two currency’ world? The introduction of the Euro threatens to have a significant impact on the international monetary economy as well as on the economies of the EU countries themselves. As yet this impact is not altogether clear since the Euro has only been operating for a few years. But certain trends are emerging and the possibilities are opening up. It is the main features of these trends that we concentrate upon in this section. A preliminary point here is that the Euro exchange rate is not a policy va China's Ascent: New Superpower or New Global System? Keynote Berkeley Writers at Work: Linda Williams Rymer's Foedera Volume 10 UNESCO Guidelines and Recommendations for Reorienting Teacher Education to Address Sustainability 5 Conclusion Playing Between Elephants (Trailer)
Professor David Shambaugh, Elliot School of International Affairs, George Washington University presents the keynote speech "China's Global Identities: the Schizophrenic Superpower?". 45th Otago Foreign Policy School - Salmond Hall, Dunedin, New Zealand. Friday 25 June to Sunday 25 June 2010.
Professor Linda Williams, Director of the Film Studies Program, is the author of "Hard Core: Power, Pleasure and the Frenzy of the Visible" and "Playing the Race Card: Melodramas of Black and White, from Uncle Tom to O.J. Simpson". She reads from her work and discusses her writing process.

Covers the period July 1420 to October 1441: the end of the reign of Henry V and the minority of Henry VI. The minority of the new king saw power struggles over the regency and raised questions of how his father's conquests in France could be maintained.
These guidelines and recommendations from UNESCO on ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) have been devised by an International Network of 30 teacher-education institutions from around the world. There are 67 recommendations, nearly half of which focus directly on course design and teacher education. The report argues that educators have a key role in helping to create a more sustainable future. It also acknowledges the urgent need and the enormous challenges involved in re-orientating
Social work is a dynamic profession that is undergoing a period of significant change in Scotland. Social workers have the power to make assessments and decisions that radically alter people's lives. This unit introduces the law as it relates to social work and encourages an understanding of the context of the law in order to make sound decisions.
