Hatshepsut is now famous for being the first female pharaoh of
Egypt, but for thousands of years her rule was shrouded in secrecy,
even by Hatshepsut herself. Under her rule Egypt grew and
prospered, and many great monuments were built, yet she died
suddenly in mysterious circumstances. Suitable for readers aged 8+,
each book in History Starting Points explores the life and times of
a key historical figure, from Alfred the Great to Hatshepsut. It
tells the story of the subject's life, using vital primary source
material, such as what contemporary people wrote about the figure.
Alongside this, each book builds up a vivid picture of the
historical era in which the person lived, from Anglo-Saxon Britain
to the civilisations of ancient Greece and Egypt. Included
throughout are cross-curricular links to other key subject areas
such as literacy, science or geography, and the text is supported
by cartoon, myths and legends and fun craft projects to make.

philosophical origins of technology education. Carefully curated,

teacher educators, researchers, lecturers and professors in
technology education.
Six Months in Ascension, first published in 1878, contains an
account by Isobel Sarah B. Gill of the 1877 scientific expedition
to the island of Ascension, in the South Atlantic, undertaken to
measure the distance of the sun from the earth by observing the
opposition of the planet Mars. The expedition, funded by the Royal
Astronomical Society, was led by Isobel's husband, the astronomer
David Gill, with a heliometer and other scientific instruments
provided by Lord Lindsay. Isobel accompanied the expedition as her
husband's companion. Her account offers personal details and
stories omitted from the scientific reports on the expedition
written by her husband and colleagues and it contains beautiful
descriptions of the island of Ascension. The book offers a rare
view of the personal, practical and behind-the-scenes side of a
nineteenth-century scientific expedition and provides a fascinating
insight into the gender roles of learned Victorian society.
Alfred was the only English king to ever be given the title 'Great'. Why? He successfully defended Britain from wave after wave of Viking invaders, formed the first English army and navy, encouraged English people to talk in their mother tongue and set up the beginnings of a renowned, progressive legal system.
