Product Description
This text has been completely rewritten to embrace the new syllabus changes which have taken place since the first edition was published. The book is presented through a progression of topics, beginning with simple concepts and ideas, e.g. the nature of matter and its organization in the structure of the Earth and its atmosphere. The topics then move on to more complex concepts such as atomic structure and the nature of chemical reactions, their uses in industry and the implications to the environment. Each chapter begins with a list of objectives to help the reader focus. Questions are asked throughout the book to help develop skills and each chapter ends with a summary to help aid revision. ...

Product Description
'The Dance at Mociu' is a collection of some thirty short, poetic prose pieces concerning Transylvania, the area of Romania that Peter Riley and his wife visit every year. Part travel report, part story, part epiphany, these luminous pieces cast light onto a mysterious area of 'Old Europe' where clashing empires and ever-changing borders ensured that nothing remained stable but the old traditions and wonderful music. ...

Product Description
Peter Riley's work is translated into many languages. His poetry arises from places inhabited or visited (historical landscapes of central England, far west Wales, southern France, Tunisia, European urban centres), artifice (of music, Roman churches, Irish paintings) and inner experience. The momentum comes from an inhabitation of these places and the search for a finite construct from the individual lived moments. Riley is primarily interested in making a poetry which is "available" rather than "accessible". It is a poetry which offers the reader entry into an experience of the world mediated by the passionate needs of the shaping spirit, while seeking to avoid a reductive or confirming complicity. ...

Product Description
The topics covered in this series are specifically chosen to help children to develop a sense of 'awe and wonder'. They are topic that children and teachers love and now meet perfectly the need of a more creative curriculum. Each topic is closely keyed into the requirements of different subjects in the national curriculum to provide a cross-curricular project.

Activities are provided for children aged from 5 to 11 - enabling teachers to find activities at a level suitable for all their children - extending the more able and supporting the less able. This also means that the books are ideal for teachers who have to teach mixed aged classes and enables topics to be used throughout the whole key stage or school. Children of all ages are fascinated by all aspects of inventions - when things were invented, who invented them,what first inventions were like and how they developed.This book shows how this natural enthusiasm for a topic can be used as a basis for investigative science work, historical study as well as a stimulus for designing and making work in D&T. Topics explored in this title include: simple machines; using energy; water and air travel; measuring time; and, using electricity. ... Read more
