This work focuses on three important British travellers to Crete
during the 18th and 19th centuries to establish whether or not they
made any significant contribution to the field of research with
regard to the archaeological heritage of Bronze Age Crete. It
brings these 'lost pioneers' of antiquity to the fore and to
recognize their efforts as part of the foundation of the discovery
of the island's Bronze Age archaeology prior to the groundbreaking
excavations of Sir Arthur Evans. They are Richard Pococke
(1704-65), Robert Pashley (1805-59) and Thomas Spratt (1811-88).
Having dealt with the terms that these travellers used in
describing ancient remains, the work looks briefly at the
background to Bronze Age Crete itself. Thereafter the development
from antiquarianism into archaeology is followed to establish the
motives behind these travellers' wanderings in Crete.

In times of great change and development in the education system,
those children who experience difficulties in school because they
are emotionally troubled are particularly vulnerable. Increasingly,
schools are under pressure to produce results which appear good in
the public domain, and so can feel forced to spend money on
activities designed to enhance public reputation, consequently
neglecting those pupils who are difficult to teach because they are
emotionally disturbed. Taking Children Seriously has been written
by those trained and working in this field to provide insights into
how to apply ideas and theories taken from psychotherapy and
counselling to the context of education. The authors demonstrate to
practising teachers approaches for working with feelings in the
classroom and provide ideas which schools may wish to consider to
supplement their present work with special needs pupils. Steve
Decker is a Chartered Psychologist and Head of Counselling Division
at Anglia Polytechnic University. Sandy Kirby is a counsellor and
Professional Tutor at a London comprehensive.Angela Greenwood is an
educational therapist and special needs co-ordinator who has worked
in Britain and Zambia in the primary and pre-school sectors. Dudley
moore is a counsellor and former headteacher of a special school.
All four editors are founders of the Counselling and Therapy
Service for Schools.
The Ouse valley, East Sussex, is a key communication route from the
Channel coast, via the Downs (and the historic county town of
Lewes), to the wide expanse of the Weald. It traverses and
encompasses landscapes and archaeological sites of both regional
and national importance - all connected by the river Ouse and its
valley. This is the first review of the archaeology of this
important landscape - from Palaeolithic to medieval times by
contributors all routed in the archaeology of Sussex. Binding
together the archaeology is a review of the geoarchaeology and
palaeo-environment following which the chapters document the
collective archaeology and potential from the Palaeolithic of
Boxgrove vs Piltdown, via Mesolithic archaeology from the textbook
excavations of Grahame Clark to recent 21st century investigations.
Monuments of causewayed enclosures, long barrows and round barrows
represent some of the Neolithic and Bronze Age evidence with some
extraordinary finds recorded in the Bronze Age. From hillforts and
villas, to medieval rural and urban excavation; the Ouse valley
represents a microcosm of the wider region, the contributions
collectively reveal the importance and significance of this valley
to the development of landscape history and society of a
quintessential English county. The narrative concludes with the
first detailed research agenda for the Ouse valley.
