Promoting the inclusion of climate change and sustainability issues
within the primary curriculum, this cutting-edge guide provides
age-appropriate activities, curriculum links and opportunities for
progression in knowledge and skills across lower and upper KS2.
Designed to bring contemporary issues to life, the set of
progressions include engaging and detailed lesson plans based
around the Science National Curriculum throughout KS2. The book
introduces essential curriculum concepts and teaches species
identification, showing pupils how to encourage care and action for
the natural world through outdoor activities linked to key
curriculum goals. It demonstrates ways to progress children’s
learning through leadership in a model science curriculum and by
the reformation of their own school grounds. Situating this
teaching outside the classroom ensures that the developing concepts
and knowledge are grounded in the real world, and being outdoors
also has huge benefits for children’s mental health and
wellbeing. The guidance and templates for development planning are
underpinned by current research, while vivid case studies bring
these ideas to life.
This book examines the relationship between critical realism and Marxism. The authors argue that critical realism and Marxism have much to gain from each other. This is the first book to address the controversial debates between critical realism and Marxism, and it does so from a wide range if disciplines. The authors argue that whilst one book cannot answer all the questions about the relationship between critical realism and Marxism, this book does provide some significant answers. In doing so, Critical Realism and Marxism reveals a potentially fruitful relationship; deepens our understanding of the social world and makes an important contribution towards eliminating the barbarism that accompanies contemporary capitalism.
The chapters in this volume are the edited versions of invited
addresses to the XXVI International Congress of Psychology held in
Montreal in August 1996. As one major goal of the Congress was to
promote communication among specializations in scientific
psychology, the speakers were asked to survey their research area
and present their own work in a way that would be accessible to
their colleagues in other areas. Another purpose of the meeting was
to bring researchers together from different parts of the world,
reflecting their different approaches to the scientific study of
mind, brain, and behavior. Consequently, the eminent researchers
who have written the twenty-six chapters included in the present
volume were drawn from universities and research institutes in
North America, Europe, Japan, Russia, Israel, and New Zealand. The
chapters cover a range of topics in human and animal experimental
psychology. The first section deals with psychobiological processes
- the interplay of body and mind in determining intelligence,
stress, and pain. The next five chapters address current issues in
neuropsychology and neuroscience, including the neural correlates
of attention and vision. A third section looks at learning
processes in humans and animals, and a fourth deals with a range of
topics in perception and cognition. The final five chapters take a
developmental perspective, presenting theoretical and empirical
analyses of the acquisition of perceptual and cognitive abilities.
Overall, the collection illustrates the growing trend to break down
traditional barriers between areas of experimental psychology;
there are many instances of profitable interactions between
researchers studying aspects of behavior and those studying the
biological bases of these behaviors. The twenty-six chapters give
an excellent overview of current research in scientific psychology.
Contemporary capitalism is always evolving. From digital
technologies to cryptocurrencies, current trends in political
economy are much discussed, but often little understood. So where
can we turn for clarity? As Michael Roberts and Guglielmo Carchedi
argue, new trends don't necessarily call for new theory. In
Capitalism in the 21st Century, the authors show how Marx's law of
value explains numerous issues in our modern world. In both
advanced economies and the periphery, value theory provides a
piercing analytical framework through which we can approach topics
as varied as labour, profitability, automation and AI, the
environment, nature and ecology, the role of China, imperialism and
the state. This is an ambitious work that will appeal to both
heterodox economists and labour movement activists alike, as it
demonstrates the ongoing contemporary relevance of Marxist theory
to current trends in political economy.
Published in 1965: This book is about the Period in which the Whig
Party was in power between 1807 - 1812. It talks about Economics,
Parliamentary reforms and wars.
Part of the National Curriculum Outdoors series, aimed at improving
outside-the-classroom learning for children from Year 1 to Year 6
Teaching outside the classroom improves pupils' engagement with
learning as well as their health and wellbeing, but how can
teachers link curriculum objectives effectively with enjoyable and
motivating outdoor learning in Year 6? The National Curriculum
Outdoors: Year 6 presents a series of photocopiable lesson plans
that address each primary curriculum subject, whilst enriching
pupils with the benefits of learning in the natural environment.
Outdoor learning experts Sue Waite, Michelle Roberts and Deborah
Lambert provide inspiration for primary teachers to use outdoor
contexts as part of their everyday teaching and showcase how
headteachers can embed curriculum teaching outside throughout the
school, whilst protecting teaching time and maintaining
high-quality teaching and performance standards. All of the Year 6
curriculum lessons have been tried and tested successfully in
schools and can be adapted and developed for school grounds and
local natural environments. What's more, each scheme of work in
this all-encompassing handbook includes primary curriculum
objectives; intended learning outcomes; warm-up and main
activities; plenary guidance; natural connections; ICT and PSHE
links; and word banks. Please note that the PDF eBook version of
this book cannot be printed or saved in any other format. It is

Sword-and-sandal disaster epic directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and
starring Kit Harington. Set before and during the Mount Vesuvius
eruption of 79 AD, the film follows the plight of
slave-turned-gladiator Milo (Harington) who falls in love with
Cassia (Emily Browning), the daughter of a wealthy merchant who has
recently become engaged to Corvus (Kiefer Sutherland), an
influential Roman Senator. As the mountain erupts and quickly
destroys the city of Pompeii as well as its surrounding
communities, Milo must track down his one true love before all hope
of survival is annihilated.
Gustavus Adolphus (1594--1632) dominated his age: he made Sweden
the leading power of Northern Europe, was the principal upholder of
the Protestant cause in the Thirty Years War, and was a great
administrator as well as a brilliant soldier. His toleration and
reforms helped define the development of the modern state. This
concise study of his career, by the doyen of modern historians of
the North, appeared in 1973. Long unavailable but now revised,
expanded, updated and reset, it makes a welcome return in Profiles
in Power.

Alcimus Ecdicius Avitus, bishop of Vienne and a vigorous defender
of Christian orthodoxy, was born into the senatorial aristocracy in
southern Gaul in the mid-fifth century and lived until 518. The
verse in Biblical and Pastoral Poetry was written in the late fifth
or early sixth century. Avitus's most famous work, the Spiritual
History, narrates the biblical stories of creation, the Fall and
expulsion from paradise, the Flood, and the Israelites' escape from
Egypt. He revitalizes Christian epic poetry, highlighting original
sin and redemption and telling the history of Christian salvation
with dramatic dialogue and rich description. In Consolatory Praise
of Chastity-a verse treatise addressed to his sister, a consecrated
virgin-illuminates the demands of the ascetic life from the
perspective of a close family member. Avitus seeks to bolster his
sister's resolve with biblical examples of mental fortitude,
constructing a robust model for female heroism. This volume
presents new English translations of Avitus's two extant poetic
writings alongside the Latin texts.
This collection reflects the growing interest realist critics have
shown towards forms of discourse theory and deconstruction. The
diverse range of contributions address such issues as the work of
Derrida and deconstruction, discourse theory, Eurocentrism and
poststructuralism. What unites all of the contributions is a sense
that it is essential to provide a realist alternative to the
hitherto dominance of social constructionism, hermeneutics and
postmodernism, over many of the issues discussed.
By developing a realist perspective the different authors attempt
to embed discourse within the structured nature of the reality of
the world. Realism can situate language, discourse and ideology
within context specific, or 'causally efficacious' circumstances.
Realism can help to uncover issues of power, representation, and
subjectivity and how discursive and other social practices produce
real effects. This can help us understand the manner in which
(non-discursive) social structures are reproduced through various
forms of ideology and discourse. And by knowing this, we can start
to address questions concerning human emancipation and how the
world is to be transformed.
Contemporary capitalism is always evolving. From digital
technologies to cryptocurrencies, current trends in political

How should I make (and spend) money? What gives my life meaning?
Should I be afraid of death? Philosophical questions such as
these--timely, personal, and relevant to daily life--are explored
in the best-selling TWENTY QUESTIONS. Through an exploration of
classical and contemporary approaches to these problems in
philosophy, literature, and beyond, TWENTY QUESTIONS provides a
comprehensive and engaging introduction to philosophical reasoning.
Yesterday ended in disaster. Very late at night, I decided to write
down everything that had happened; the only way I could think of
coping. Following a series of devastating rejections, Michele
Roberts began keeping an account of her life in the hope it might
help mend her shattered sense of self. In this intimate and wryly
honest journal she reflects on cities and countryside, loss and
love, food, friendships, sisterhood, pleasure and memories, her
abiding relationship with France and with literature. Over the
course of a year a new pattern of being develops, until, finally,
she finds a better relationship between inner and outer worlds.

Joseph Conrad is a key figure in modernist fiction, whose
innovative work engages with many of the crucial philosophical,
moral and political concerns of the twentieth century. This
collection of major critical readings of his work is arranged
according to the issues which each critic addresses, issues which
are of crucial importance, and in many cases remain controversial,
within contemporary literary theory and criticism.
Following an opening section on the critical tradition, indicating
how the study of Conrad's work has been politicised since the
1970s, there are sections on 'Narrative, Textuality and
Interpretation', 'Imperialism', 'Gender and Sexuality', 'Class and
Ideology', and 'Modernity'. Within each section two or three
critical excerpts offer contrasting and complementary accounts of
the fiction, while the headnotes to each piece and the introduction
place these excerpts within the wider critical debate, clarifying
for the reader both the theoretical issues and the interpretation
of Conrad's fiction. A glossary of terms and a bibliography
categorised by critical approach complete a volume which will
provide an invaluable resource for students of Conrad and
twentieth-century literature as well as other readers of Conrad's
work.
