Main Figure

As I write (Spring 2012) I am aware that I have been a member of the Mathematical Association for fifty years. I joined during the annual conference in 1962 when Dr Combridge was the main figure in the society. The highlight was a session at the conference (at King's College, London) by Geoffrey Matthews showing how matrices might be introduced into the school curriculum. Some treated this as hilarious, others as a signpost to the future. My friend Frank Budden and I regarded it as a premature ploy, which, we thought, might not tum out to be such a good idea. We subsequently wrote a successful book Mathematics through Geometry (1964) arguing in detail why the modem mathematics revolution—which was then gathering pace—might end in tears. We identified spatial imagination as the heartland of mathematics, and contrasted it with a denial of spatial imagination in the abstract calculi which were all the vogue at the time.

Positivist Approach

<p>This article discusses the resistance experienced by the clinical legal education movement in Italy due to a widespread legal positivist approach which views law as a self-contained technical subject, and excludes interdisciplinarity from the law school curriculum.</p><p>The choice that the newly-born Italian CLE movement now faces is the option to either become a new socio-legal epistemology of law in action and a social change-maker, or to ascribe to a simple restyling of legal education to include certain practical activities aimed at introducing students to the profession. The future of the movement will depend on whether the rapid increase in the number of clinics will be matched by appropriate reflection on "how clinics might be consciously designed around exposing students to gaps between the law in books and the law in action".</p>

Successful long-term plans for gardens require creativity and objectivity and need to include the insight of the horticultural teams caring for them. Garden plans take different forms and there are rival schools of thought about the merits of using external consultants or authoring exclusively in house. This essay makes the case for a ‘third way’, blending the skills of internal and external teams, and shows how the past can inspire the future.
