Parallel Lines is a collection of eight very different scenarios
set in seven very different versions of Earth. Each mission is
self-contained, but the collection can be played as a complete
campaign with the characters forming an elite team in Valhalla's
Mjollnir Section.The adventures include the Salem Witch Trials, a
post-apocalyptic Camargue, an Orwellian Britain, epic journeys by
airship and Trans-Siberian Express, a voyage to the bottom of the
sea, an investigation through the streets of a disintegrating
Edinburgh, and a murder hunt through a dystopian London.Packed with
wild ideas and creative locations, along with dozens of colourful
NPCs (and some distinctly weird ones), Parallel Lines is
transplanar adventuring at its very best.Parallel Lines requires
access to both Luther Arkwright: Roleplaying Across the Parallels
and Mythras for full enjoyment.

Every day, the human awakes to a new world, a new dawn and a new
cascade of nonverbal communication. It may be the pleasant scent of
a rose, the soft touch of a loved one, the sight of sun rays on a
bedroom floor or the excited chatter of a child. Whatever form it
takes, your environment and all who inhabit it send nonverbal
signals all day long - even while they sleep. The Routledge
Dictionary of Nonverbal Communication celebrates this
communication, examining a very wide selection of nonverbal
behaviors, actions and signals to provide the reader with an
informed insight on the world around them and its messages.
Compiled in the form of a dictionary, the book is presented as a
series of chapters with alphabetical entries, ranging from
attractiveness to zeitgeist. The book aims to provide the reader
with a clear understanding of some of the relevant discourse on
particular topics while also making it practical and easy to read.
It draws on a wide selection of discourse from fields such as
neuroscience, psychology, anthropology and psychiatry. The
dictionary will be an essential companion for anyone wishing to
understand nonverbal communication. It will also be especially
useful for those working in the field of nonverbal communication.
John White's study is the most substantial work on what the aims of
education should be since Whitehead's Aims of Education of 1929. It
draws on material not only from schools and colleges, but also from
the broader educative or miseducative nature of the 'ethos' of
society and some of its major institutions. Sifting the different
views about aims which are now prevalent and circulating in the
world of education, he integrates the more defensible of them into
an articulated set of positive recommendations. The study takes a
broadly philosophical and non-technical stand; it is written to
help practitioners orient themselves in what is often bewildering
territory, at a time when the question of what the aims of
education ought to be has acquired a new urgency for politicians
and educational administrators, as well as for those directly
involved in educational institutions, head teachers and their
staff.
Written prior to the introduction of the national curriculum, this
volume argued for precisely that: a broad framework of a compulsory
education at national level for all schools. The author considers
the question of the content of his proposed compulsory curriculum
in terms of principles derived from a fundamental ethical position
and from an analysis of kinds of human activity that seeks to
establish important educational priorities. The discussion covers
arguments concerning intrinsically worthwhile activities, the need
for a practical component of the curriculum and the priority that
humanistic studies should have. It puts forward a case for a new
concept of voluntary education, partly on the model of the Pioneer
organizations of Eastern Europe, to supplement the compulsory
curriculum.
