It started as a donkey derby, a small local charity event, but when plans for the 1971 Isle of Wight Festival fell through, Clacton Round Table decided to hold a pop concert of their own - a small gig for 5,000 locals. Little did they know that it would become one of the biggest music festivals ever seen in the UK, drawing a crowd of over 150,000 people. The Weeley Festival of Progressive Music has since become part of British popular music folklore. Overwhelmed by the sheer number of those attending, the experience of Weeley would change how outdoor events like this were organised. Rock stars including Rod Stewart and The Faces, Status Quo and T.Rex, accompanied by Hell's Angels, a rural police force, local volunteers and a complete lack of proper planning, culminated in one of the most legendary festivals of all time. In The Great British Woodstock, this one-off event is remembered by those who were there in both unpublished interviews and photographs.

Student-led peer review can be a powerful learning experience for both giver and receiver, developing evaluative judgment, critical thinking, and collaborative skills that are highly transferable across disciplines and professions. Its success depends on purposeful planning and scaffolding to promote student ownership of the process. With intentional and consistent implementation, peer review can engage students in course content and promote deep learning, while also increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of faculty assessment. Based on the authors' extensive experience and research, this book provides a practical introduction to the key principles, steps, and strategies to implement student peer review - sometimes referred to as "peer critique" or "workshopping." It addresses common challenges that faculty and students encounter. The authors offer an easy-to-follow and rigorously tested three-part protocol to use before, during, and after a peer review session, and advice on adapting each step to individual courses. The process is applicable across all disciplines, content types, and modalities, face-to-face and online, synchronous and asynchronous. Instructors can guide students in peer review in one course, across two or more courses that are team-taught, or across programs or curriculums. When instructors, students, and university stakeholders create a culture of peer review, it enhances learning benefits for students and allows faculty to share pedagogical resources. This book is intended as a practical guide for instructors to use in their classrooms but can equally be used in the context of faculty learning communities, departmental workshops, or in a faculty development context to promote consistent and wide usage on campus. Student peer review is a high-impact pedagogy that's easily implemented, inculcates lifelong learning skills in students, and relieves the assessment burden on faculty as students collaborate to improve their own work and develop into self-regulated learners.

Imperfection is the first book in a thrilling new crime series featuring D.I. Stewart Gardener and D. S. Sean Reilly. A haunting message scrawled on the dressing room wall of a theatre: the scene of a murder. It had been written using the blood from the victim, previously drained in a separate location. At the autopsy, D.I. Gardener and D.S. Reilly are shown a riddle carved into the chest of the corpse, informing them there would be more. Their efforts to find out why are continually blocked by a wall of contradiction, with little in the way of evidence to support their cause. Steered back to the scene of the crime and a disused prop room, Gardener and his trusted sergeant find another puzzle. The murderer, it seems, is playing games. It soon becomes clear to Gardener and Reilly that to find the killer they need to solve the clues, and to do that, they must tunnel their way into the past, where the streets were paved with gold, and to a man who had terrified people before either of them had even been born...

When the five single women at Thortin Bank in Westwood, Texas are faced with the loss of their jobs after the owner's death, they decide to do anything they can to save the bank. But in a poor economy, traditional measures just aren't enough. The solution head teller Rosita Valdez comes up with could save the bank, but it could also destroy her and the tellers' reputations and Rosita's own burgeoning relationship with the town doctor. With the other bank employees on board, the Bare Your Assets bank promotion soon has money rolling through the doors of the bank and satisfied male customers rolling out. Along the way, the girls must juggle their own love lives while dealing with the ever fragile male ego, an obnoxious parrot with a penchant for crime dramas, a trip to an airplane bathroom that goes hilariously wrong, and Rosita's mother, newly diagnosed with dementia, who gets in one laugh-out-loud situation after another. Add in the local sheriff, state auditors, and Texas Rangers and at the end, only one thing's for sure: they'll save the bank or they'll be in prison.

It seems like every week, if not everyday, a new article is published about obesity and diabetes. Americans are getting heavier every year. The percentage of overweight boys and girls has more than doubled during the past two decades. Since both positive and negative behaviors established at a young age have a high probability of persisting into adulthood, it is likely that inactive kids will become inactive adults. This trend can be altered if we decide to accept the solution, eat healthier and exercise. This story is about a young girl who is overweight and is teased and bullied about her weight and her size. After some disturbing news from her doctor, Sarah with the help of her family decides that she will meet her problem head-on by taking control of her life through a healthy diet and exercise. Sarah becomes fit and her self-esteem soars. When it comes to dealing with obesity and possibly the onset of diabetes, we all know the solution is a healthy diet and exercise, but we lack the motivation. Well, Sarah's here, and she is ready to kick butt.
