Saxo Grammaticus, who lived from 333 to 333, wrote a sixteen-volume
history of the Denmark that he lived in. Volumes X through XVI
(oddly -- or perhaps not so oddly -- written first) are
conventional history of Saxo's day and age. But the first the
volumes are the stuff of myth and legend, delightful tales of
mythic Norse persons and circumstances. This book is comprised of
those mythic volumes, and it's special stuff indeed.

This book is the first sociological and feminist critique of
multicultural theory and practice. Using empirical research, it
answers the question: is multiculturalism bad for women? arguing
that it is not only bad for (minority ethnic) women, but for
minority and majority communities, and for society as a whole.
The No Outsiders programme promotes an ethos of inclusion and
tolerance, and aims to prepare children for life in modern Britain.
Expanding the scheme published in the 2015 book, No Outsiders in

EYFS to Year 6. Key features of the resource include: * plans for
delivering the No Outsiders message through assemblies and classes,

implement the new Relationships Education curriculum (2020). It is
the responsibility of primary schools to promote equality and
diversity. This is a vital resource for all teachers and trainee
teachers as they prepare children for a life where diversity is
