This volume has been curated from two sources:Â presentations
from the Conference on Rings and Polynomials, Technische
Universität Graz, Graz, Austria, July 19 –24, 2021, and papers
intended for presentation at the Fourth International Meeting
on Integer-valued Polynomials and Related Topics, CIRM,
Luminy, France, which was cancelled due to the pandemic. The
collection ranges widely over the algebraic, number theoretic and
topological aspects of rings, algebras and polynomials. Two areas
of particular note are topological methods in ring theory, and
integer valued polynomials. The book is dedicated to the
memory of Paul-Jean Cahen, a coauthor or research collaborator with
some of the conference participants and a friend to many of the
others. This collection contains a memorial article about Paul-Jean
Cahen, written by his longtime research collaborator and coauthor
Jean-Luc Chabert. Â

The city of Preston in Lancashire is renowned for its industrial
heritage, with centuries of textile manufacturing and its boom
years during the Industrial Revolution. However, as this book
reveals, industry is but one aspect of its rich and fascinating
past. In ‘Preston: A Potted History’, local author Keith
Johnson explores the city’s heritage, charting its journey from
earliest times right up to the present day. He highlights the

interludes that have taken place in the city, which was known in
Saxon times as Priest’s Town. Not surprisingly monks and
monasteries, churches and chapels, preachers and parsons have all
contributed to the growth of the place. Through successive
centuries the author looks at Preston’s people and their
progress, the transport and trade, industry and innovations,
celebrations and ceremonies, education and entertainment, along
with the political and military conflicts. This engaging and
informative book reveals the poverty and penury, tragedy and
turmoil, and the triumphs and transformation that Preston has
undergone throughout history. Illustrated throughout, this
accessible historical portrait will be of great interest to

An authoritative collection of papers which argues for issues of
language curriculum development to be made explicit. Issues of
language curriculum development underlie all stages in the planning
and implementation of language teaching programmes. This
authoritative collection of papers argues for these isses to be
made explicit. The stages which the book deals with are: curriculum
planning, specification of ends and means, programme
implementation, and classroom implementation. Evaluation is also of
crucial relevance at each stage. The 'curriculum' is taken to mean
all the factors which contribute to the teaching and learning
situation, and the emphasis of the book is on the interdependence
of these factors. The contributors are leading practitioners and
researchers with experience in various parts of the world. They
identify the problems faced and the directions to be followed in
relating current theory with practice in curriculum development.
This collection will be of key interest to teachers,
teacher-trainers, course directors and designers, and all others
concerned with designing and implementing language programmes.

A Preston Chronicle newspaper headline in 1866 of 'Thievery,
Knavery & Harlotry in Preston' described a town struggling with
crime and its consequences. Justice had been swift from the days of
horse thieves and highwaymen, when the gloom of the gallows or
transportation brought fear to the less fortunate who lived among
poverty and pestilence. Some would earn notoriety for their
dreadful deeds, while others received pity for their plight. In
Preston Murders and Misdemeanours, local author Keith Johnson
brings together a collection of tales from the court archives to
chronicle the events that occupied the courts and brought criminals
to justice. Judges and justices, coroners and court clerks,
barristers and briefs all played their part in a time when justice
was swift and often delivered harshly with unflinching retribution.
The poacher, the pickpocket, the prostitute and the pilfering thief
were all punished for their crimes - whether petty or paramount.
Keith Johnson tells of those who were murdered, poisoned,
mistreated or cheated. He reveals the killers, thieves, swindlers
and fraudsters who faced the glare of the courtroom and felt the
long arm of the law. This journey through the justice system in
this Lancashire city exposes the harsh realities of life and the
curiosities of the past that are both compelling and
thought-provoking.
The Lancashire city of Preston has an illustrious history
stretching back to Roman times. From the thirteenth century onwards
it became renowned for its textiles and it was later one of the
major towns of the Industrial Revolution. Originally at the heart
of the cotton industry, the town is now a sprawling university city
and has achieved remarkable things. This proud heritage, a strong
sense of local identity and character has given the city and its
people much to celebrate throughout the centuries. In Celebrating
Preston, local author Keith Johnson chronicles the significant and
positive aspects of the city's history from inventions to industry,
landmarks to leisure, and newsworthy events to notable
achievements. Discover those Preston folk who toiled willingly to
make their vision of a more prosperous and pleasant place come to
fruition. New buildings and structures have been cause for
celebration, as have the numerous public parks developed within the
city's boundaries. Within the fields of industry, commerce, art and
literature many Prestonians have made an impressive contribution.
The author looks back on the royal visits to the city and the
occasions when local people turned out to acknowledge military and
sporting heroes, or simply to commemorate historic and national
events. Illustrated throughout, this fascinating book offers a
marvellous and refreshingly positive insight into Preston's rich
heritage, its special events and important moments. Celebrating
Preston will be a valuable contribution to local history while
providing a source of many memories. It will be of great interest
to local residents, visitors and those with links to the city.
Preston has a rich history that fortunately was captured on camera
from its days as a cotton town. In Preston Reflections, local
author Keith Johnson presents a fascinating visual chronicle,
reflecting on the endeavours and achievements of bygone generations
that made the university city of today. This book shows readers
glimpses of Preston past and present. There have been periods of
poverty, progress and prosperity, and displays of pomp, pageantry
and patriotism, all of which have left us with images to cherish.
Every picture tells its own story and the images featured, which
ingeniously merge historic and modern scenes in one view, reflect
the changes through time in a unique and enchanting way. Each one
enables you to linger in the past and compare the current view.
Viewing the old and new images uncovers layers of history perhaps
forgotten yet at the root of the lives of earlier generations. This
superb collection of pictures cleverly mirrors life in Preston
today and in bygone times.
