This informative entertaining read tells, with wit and
understanding, England
This book, Lives of Reigning and Consort Queens of England:
England's History through the Eyes of its Queens, is a factual
narrative on lives of Norman, Plantagenet, Tudor, Stuart, Hanover,
and Windsorqueens covering a millenium of English History. The
biographical portraits start at the close of the Dark Ages with the
Norman Conquest of 1066, and continue to Modern Time in the life of
present Queen Elizabeth II. This narratiev of fifty short
chronologicalbiographies gives a view ijnto life and courtly
customs from an age far removed from the present toward the way of
life we know today. Through the lives of these women, one sees
England's history unroll. Although the narratives are brief, they
bring individuals to life withoutjudgmental prejudice as unique
personalities. One of the fifty personalities, 7 were reigning
queens, 38 were queen consort wives of moonarchs, and 5 were wives
of "favorites" who did not reign, but who played a significant role
during the life of a ruling king. This sample of wo0men on the
throne, or close to the throne is too large to expect any single
quality can characterize them all: Some served as exemplary
reigning queens, or as consorts whom actively supported a sovereign
husband or son. Some assertively played the part of regent as a
significantr power behind the throne. Some infliuenced historic
events forr eliegious reasons. Many avoided political involvement,
but ahd great influemnce on culture and custom. Some had personal
qualities that made them inherently interesting and desetrving of
friendship. A relatively small number of the queens were entirely
unsuited to be queens. Some queen consorts resisted familiarity and
remain enigmatic effigies. Some were apwns manipulated by historic
events of the time and deprived them of opportunity to elave a
personal mark of hsitory. Others served chiefly as supportive
mothers and wives.

A group of fun-loving teenagers take jobs at a recently re-opened
summer camp, unaware of the circumstances that had led to its
closure: the drowning of a young boy named Jason and subsequent
murder of two counsellors over twenty years before. No sooner has
the camp re-opened for business than the killing begins again, as
the teens are picked off one by one. Followed by seven sequels.
The author uses the work of the eminent Canadian philosopher,
Charles Taylor, to develop a critique of those political
perspectives that are based on instrumental ways to reason about
the world, claiming that such perspectives invariably sever the
connections between the social and natural worlds.
The book is about accountability processes and how they contribute
solutions to our current environmental and global political
problems. This book is different to other literature in this field.
This is so because the dominant accountability discourse is shaped
by what is defined as a neoliberal business case for social and
environmental reform. This book assumes a nirvana stance within
globalisation where all citizens operate within the parameters of
the free market and will recover from adverse economic and
political damage. Further this book uses neoliberalism and
free-market reforms aims as examples to implement efficient
management technologies and create more competitive pressures.
Central to the argument of the book are perspectives on
authenticity, expressivism and interpretivism which are found to
provide a radical reworking of our understanding of being in the
world. These frameworks offer a starting point for rethinking the
way individuals, businesses and communities ought to be dealing
politically with accountability and ecological crises. The argument
builds to an accountability perspective that utilises work from
expressivism, interpretivism, classical liberalism and postmodern
theory. The theoretical quest undertaken in this book is to develop
connections between accountability, democratic, ethical and
ecological perspectives.

provide guidance for how to design and develop most effective,
efficient, and appealing instruction as well as suggesting learning
strategies relevant to the open education era.
