From highlands to islands, wrecks to reefs and caves, Wild and
Temperate Seas is a new-style guide which will whet your appetite
for UK diving. These are over 50 personal favourites at some of the
UK's most popular underwater destinations. Dorset Dives author Will
Appleyard and his team of experienced collaborators share their
picks as they showcase our beautiful coastal locations. Many of the
dive sites featured in this new guide already appear regularly in
avid UK divers' log books. Others are visited by only those with
local knowledge and some rarely see divers at all. All are special
in some way to those who have contributed and evidence for those to
whom the UK underwater is still a mystery that once you tame these
wild and temperate seas there really are some magnificent
experiences to be had. As a wise man once said 'There's no such
thing as bad weather, just the wrong thermal protection'
(paraphrased). So, demist your mask and embrace the emerald, don
your drysuit and conquer the cold... this book shows what
incredible quality is waiting to be found if you just scratch the
surface of UK diving. Wild and Temperate Seas is an introduction to
some of the UK's best dives covering over 50 accessible sites in 15
beautiful locations across the nation. Includes wrecks and reefs,
boat and shore dives. By experienced contributors and with stunning
images by award-winning underwater photographers, the book is
perfect for anyone new to or considering scuba diving in the UK and
those seeking inspiration.

More than any other technology, cars have transformed our culture.
Cars have created vast wealth as well as novel dreams of freedom
and mobility. They have transformed our sense of distance and made
the world infinitely more available to our eyes and our
imaginations. They have inspired cinema, music and literature; they
have, by their need for roads, bridges, filling stations, huge
factories and global supply chains, re-engineered the world. Almost
everything we now need, want, imagine or aspire to assumes the
existence of cars in all their limitless power and their complex
systems of meanings. This book celebrates the immense drama and
beauty of the car, of the genius embodied in the Ford Model T, of
the glory of the brilliant-red Mercedes Benz S-Class made by
workers for Nelson Mandela on his release from prison, of Kanye
West's 'chopped' Maybach, of the salvation of the Volkswagen Beetle
by Major Ivan Hirst, of Elvis Presley's 100 Cadillacs, of the
Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost and the BMC Mini and even of that
harbinger of the end - the Tesla Model S and its creator Elon Musk.
As the age of the car as we know it comes to an end, Bryan
Appleyard's brilliantly insightful book tells the story of the rise
and fall of the incredible machine that made the modern world what
it is today.

Communication is a key theme of the UK's Qualified Teacher Learning
and Skills Standards. This accessible book helps readers to
understand the theories and principles that underpin effective
communication and apply this theory to improve their communication
with learners, colleagues, and others in professional life. It
examines the environment of educational settings and looks at how
individuals themselves communicate with the sector. It gives
detailed advice on communication skills and promoting a supporting
learning environment. It goes on to include notes on communicating
for specific teaching situations, inclusion, and working with
colleagues. Finally, it covers resources for communication and
their adaptation for different situations.
This study explores the relationship between social characteristics
of scientists and the interpersonal sharing of technological
knowledge. The findings illuminate attributes of reputation
conducive to the voluntary transfer of timely, relevant,
technological knowledge among individual R&D scientists in the
same multidivisional, multinational firm.

This is a study of the psychological development of readers of
fictional stories across the whole lifespan. The author argues that
regardless of personality and background, readers go through a
regular sequence of stages as they mature from childhood to
adulthood, which affects how they experience and respond to
stories. Each subsequent stage requires an advance to a way of
thinking about a story which is qualitatively different from the
previous one. Appleyard's evidence for these claims is drawn from
numerous studies of reading and from interviews with readers of all
ages. The developmental perspective provides a useful framework for
assessing the implications of competing theories of reading, for
charting the evolution of young readers as they mature, and for
locating and understanding the varied responses of adult readers.
Literary theorists, teachers of reading and literature at every
level, developmental psychologists, and general readers interested
in the power of reading should find this a useful book.
Carbon is unique in the range of structures and properties that are
displayed by its material forms. The bonds in diamond, within the
plane ofgraphite and in the fullerene molecules, C, are the
strongest covalent bonds possible. This strong covalent bonding 60
leads to some exceptional intrinsic properties, examples ofwhich
are: the greatest Young's modulus (in diamond, within the graphite
plane and in single walled nanotubes) the highest room temperature
thermal conductivity (in diamond and within the graphite plane)
high hole mobility in doped diamond exceptional thermal stability
ofthe structure in graphite It is because of the extreme thermal
stability that such a wide range of materials is available. Atomic
mobilities are low at all but the highest temperatures. Sintering,
melting and casting ofcarbon are not feasible processing operations
and carbon/graphite components are exclusively produced from the
pyrolytic decomposition of organic precursors. The vast majority of
engineering carbons have Sp2 type bonding and are related in some
way to the structure of graphite. In the c-direction the bonding in
graphite is of van der Waals character with the result that
graphite is highly anisotropic in its properties and is probably
unique in showing both the highest and lowest bond strengths in
different directions in the same crystal."

Becoming a Reader argues that, whatever our individual differences
of personality and background, there is a regular sequence of
attitudes we go through as we mature, which affect how we
experience fiction, from the five-year-old child absorbed in the
world of fantasy play, through the seventeen year old critical
seeker of the truth, to the middle-aged reader recognizing their
own experiences in fictional characters. Becoming a Reader argues
that this sequence of responses can be worked out and described.
The evidence for these claims is drawn from numerous studies of
reading and from interviews with a great many readers, young and
old. The developmental perspective provides a useful framework for
assessing the implications of competing theories of reading and for
charting the evolution of individual readers. Finally, in allowing
us to predict our reading experience, the book allows us, as
adults, to choose what to do with the power which reading gives us.

An evocative historical thriller based in one of London's original
suburbs. Set in 1912, Bedford Park is not just a London suburb: it
is a crucible for enlightenment and modernity inhabited by people
who wish to better themselves - and those who should know better.
It is a singular place, architecturally sidestepping the modern
whilst encouraging those with new ideas to take up residence. Into
this mix sails Cal Kidd from America. In a coffee-house he makes
the acquaintance of Binks, a man whose occupation in the City is
vague but he seems to know everybody. And so Cal meets real-life
characters like Maud Gonne and Frank Harris, while Ford Madox Ford,
W.B. Yeats and Joseph Conrad appear also. Then Binks is gruesomely
murdered, and after never really having to deal with anything in
his life, Cal the observer now has to act. The spirit of the age is
what makes BEDFORD PARK so evocative, a time when everyone tries to
invoke the future but often looks to the past to achieve it. Among
the host of vivid characters, the greatest is London itself, a city
in a constant state of flux whose centre is journalism. All the
detail makes the place exotic and exciting - the marathon at the
Olympics in 1908, a ride on the Flip Flap in White City, news being
chalked up on dock walls for those who couldn't afford papers, a
woman peeling potatoes in the Biosphere cinema in Bishopsgate.
London has to comment instantly upon itself or be commented upon,
always new and important.
Let Dorset Dives take you on a personal journey to 50 of the
greatest dive sites the Dorset coastline has to offer. Here, there
are so many opportunities to get wet and against one of the
country's most beautiful backdrops - the Jurassic Coast. A UNESCO
World Heritage site, the Dorset coast boasts seriously good scallop
diving, sheltered, shallow or deep wrecks, scenic reef dives, easy
shore dives and daring drifts. Will has chosen a selection of dive
sites spanning the length of the Dorset coastline, all within a
comfortable depth for the recreational diver and some of the sites
featured will certainly require diving more than once. The wrecks
are illustrated by Max Ellis, based on the original rough sketches
John Liddiard made for DIVER magazine's `Wreck Tours' feature, with
minimal coloured backgrounds added. With a Foreword by Paul Rose.
The teacher training framework, introduced in September 2007,
requires all teachers in the post-16 sector to possess knowledge,
understanding and personal skills to at least level 2 in the
minimum core for language and literacy. Coverage and assessment of
the core has to be embedded in all Certificate and Diploma courses
leading to QTLS and ATLS status. This book is a practical guide to
language and literacy for trainee teachers in the Lifelong Learning
sector. It enables trainee teachers to identify and develop their
own language and literacy skills and also to support their
students' language and literacy.
