Summary

 Edited by David Cameron, Steve Munby and Mick Waters, Unfinished Business is both a tribute to Sir Tim Brighouse and a call to action based on Tim's approaches, commitment and ideas. 

 The first part of the book celebrates Tim's life and achievements. This includes contributions from his son Harry and longstanding colleagues and friends such as Bob Moon, David Woods and Jo n Coles. These accounts provide a rounded picture of Tim and, in a sense, make the case for listening to him and commemorating him in action rather than simply celebrating his memory. This part also includes contributions from David Blunkett and Estelle Morris that underline Tim's national status. 

 The second part of the book is forward-looking with contributions from close friends, career colleague, policy makers, politicians and the people that Tim thought made the most difference: teachers in schools. Contributors explore what we need to do now in order to continue Tim's work in their particular area of expertise. Contributors include:

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
In Stephenie Meyer's "The Host," Earth has been invaded by a parasitic alien species known as "Souls." These Souls take over human bodies, erasing the host's consciousness and memories. The story follows Wanderer, a Soul inserted into the body of Melanie Stryder. However, Melanie's consciousness refuses to fade, creating a unique internal struggle as Wanderer experiences her host's memories and emotions. 
The novel explores the conflict between the Souls' quest for a peaceful utopia and the human resistance fighting for their survival and freedom. As Wanderer becomes more connected to Melanie's memories and the humans she encounters, she is forced to question the Souls' motives and grapple with her own sense of identity. The story delves into themes of love, loyalty, survival, and the nature of humanity in a world where the lines between self and other become increasingly blurred.
