Author: Dr. Renald Blundell

Dr Renald Blundell delves into the question of love in terms of its varied dimensions, namely love being a concept as old as humankind, a fundamental instinct, a conscious choice and eventually a real experience. He manages to fuse into one whole his academic competence achieved through study and his own human perception as acquired in daily life. Thus the author identifies himself with the average reader and eventually induces towards a personal stand. This book provides a sort of handbook which can prove quite practical and useful to teachers, parents and all involoved in education, both civil and religious.

Communication and Power in the Colleges  (Re-viewing the networks and vectors of communication and power in the first years of Malta's State Colleges Reform) has just been published. It is available from all leading bookshops in Malta and Gozo.

This book does not look at the teachers' drive towards their aspirations solely through a historical or chronological recounting of the stages leading to 1919. The teachers' occupation is examined through an analysis of the conditions of work, the methods of recruitment, appointment and classification, teacher training and the development of salaries, all of which help the reader to conceive a clearer picture of what teachers went through while at their daily work within schools. It may also be surprising to note that certain problems concerning teachers evident in the past, are still with us, to some extent or other, even today. The study also entails a detailed enquiry of 19th and early 20th century educational thought about the teachers' role and duties in schools. It is revealing how adjourned Maltese thinkers were with regards to the scope and objectives of education in general and the function of the teacher in particular.
