The New Shop Class connects the worlds of the maker and hacker with
that of the scientist and engineer. If you are a parent or educator
or a budding maker yourself, and you feel overwhelmed with all of
the possible technologies, this book will get you started with
clear discussions of what open source technologies like 3D
printers, Arduinos, robots and wearable tech can really do in the
right hands. Written by real "rocket scientist" Joan Horvath,
author of Mastering 3D Printing, and 3D printing expert Rich
Cameron (AKA whosawhatsis), The New Shop Class is a friendly,
down-to-earth chat about how hands-on making things can lead to a
science career. Get practical suggestions about how to use
technologies like 3D printing, Arduino, and simple electronics
Learn how to stay a step ahead of the young makers in your life and
how to encourage them in maker activities Discover how engineers
and scientists got their start, and how their mindsets mirror that
of the maker
She could teach more folk round 'ere about what's bloody well
important in their lives - when it comes down to it. What matters .
. . That precious bit of you that gets buried in shit, and she's
there clearin' it all away. Delie is special and she's won a trophy
for picking up litter from the mayor. Every summer she goes on her
holidays to her Aunty Brenda who runs a women's domestic abuse
refuge in a Yorkshire mining village. Delie and her Aunty Brenda
and a pawnbroker called George who wears a dress are The
Flannelettes - a Motown tribute band. Delie is in her twenties but
with a mental age of ten; when she meets Roma - who used to live on
the streets in Rotherham - the two become best friends, sharing
each others' secrets. By the award-winning writer of The Glee Club,
The Flanelettes is a tough, uncompromising play which looks at love
and violence in a shattered community, all playing to a bittersweet
soundtrack of Sixties soul.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of
Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical
understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking.
Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel
Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and
moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade.
The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and
Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a
debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below

Of all my years of growing up, I grew up in 1962... The Glee Club,
made up of five hard-working, hard-drinking miners and a church
organist, is preparing for the local gala. Though they're
established in the working men's clubs, they aren't exactly at the
vanguard of a musical revolution. This is the summer of '62.
Britain and music are about to change, so too are the lives of
these six men. Will anything ever be the same again? A raucous
comedy featuring live music, this new edition of Richard Cameron's
celebrated play was published to coincide with a 2020 revival by
Out of Joint Theatre Company.
A stunning new play by the award-winning writer of The Glee Club
("Dramatic Dynamite" - Evening Standard) School's out, and David
has been sent to spend the holidays with his Aunt Deelie, Uncle
Robert and cousin Charlene in the rough part of town. It's a summer
of stories; In the shed, Uncle Robert prepares to impress the local
history society with his revelations about Charles Dickens in
Doncaster; On the allotment, Charlene acts out her favourite soaps;
Even Gobbo and Wink, Charlene's non-too-bright conspirators, have
rich fantasy lives brimming with the thrills and importance their
real lives lack. But when a child goes missing, accusations are
thrown at David's new friends, and the line between fact and
fiction becomes dangerously blurred...Gong Donkeys is a hilarious,
bizarre and touching story about storytelling, as told by The
Catcher in The Rye, an SAS commando and Charlene from number
27.Gong Donkeys is published to tie in with the play's premiere at
London's Bush Theatre in November 2004.
Richard Cameron's most popular and acclaimed work together in one
volume introduced by the author This volume includes Can't Stand Up
for Falling Down, Pond Life, Mortal Ash and All of You Mine. Can't
Stand Up for Falling Down, written as interweaving monologues, is a
contemporary coming-of-age play set in rural Yorkshire and centres
around a death that may not be quite as accidental as it seems
"Cameron's play is itself cumulatively and salutarily
devastating...building up a picture from many partial perspectives,
the monologues are beautifully arranged" (Independent); Pond Life
is a play about a life-changing fishing expedition "the
unpatronisingly sensitive vignette of adolescence explores more
angles than angling in these youngsters' lives" (Mail on Sunday);
Mortal Ash is a tale of youthful love, death and regeneration; All
of You Mine deals with the miners' strike of 1984 and it's effects
on an ex-pit village near Doncaster "there is a remorseless
Ibsen-like vigour about the way he uncovers lies, motives and bad
faith" (Sunday Times)." Over the past few years, Cameron has
emerged as the shrewd chronicler of a small-town, post industrial
England whose experience is quite distinct from that of city
dwellers." (Guardian)
From its beginnings in the 1960s, sociolinguistics developed
several different subfields with distinct methods and interests:
the variationist tradition established by Labov, the
anthropological tradition of Hymes, interactional sociolinguistics
as developed by Gumperz, and the sociology of language represented
by the work of Fishman. All of these areas have seen a great deal
of growth in recent decades, and recent studies have led to a more
broadly inclusive view of sociolinguistics. Hence there is a need
for a handbook that will survey the main areas of the field, point
out the lacunae in our existing knowledge base, and provide
directions for future research. The Oxford Handbook of
Sociolinguistics will differ from existing work in four major
respects. First, it will emphasize new methodological developments,
particularly the convergence of linguistic anthropology and
variationist sociolinguistics. Second, it will include chapters on
sociolinguistic developments in areas of the world that have been
relatively neglected in the major journals. Third, its chapters are
written by contributors who have worked in a range of languages and
whose work addresses sociolinguistic issues in bi- and multilingual
contexts, i.e. the contexts in which a majority of the world's
population lives. Finally, it will include substantial material on
the rapidly growing study of sign language sociolinguistics.
Four short plays for young actors
Making Scenes 3 is an exciting selection of plays commissioned by
the Royal National Theatre for the BT National Connections festival
for young actors in 1995.
Indian Summer by Harwant Bains; Kulwant returns to India and
becomes fascinated with an ice-cream seller and the Holy Man who
has sat for years with a sword through his mouth. When Kulwant
pulls out the sword and offers the man a tutti-frutti ice-cream, a
remarkable friendship is established.
Almost Grown by Richard Cameron; set in Yorkshire this is the story
of how a tragic accident has affected the lives of three
friends.
The Ice Palace by Lucinda Coxon; in this magical rites of passage
tale Siss and Unn are best friends at school, but when Siss goes to
visit her one day they set out on an adventure into a magnificent
frozen waterfall from which Unn will never return.
The Dark Tower by Louis MacNeice; Roland must follow his ancestors'
and brothers' footsteps on a journey through time, by ship across
the sea of doubt, past ghost towns of history and through 'deserts
of dried-up hopes', until he reaches the Dark Tower.
Each play includes Production Notes, dealing with setting and
staging, costume, lighting and casting. Also included are a set of
questions and exercises for workshop classes.

Flower Girls is the funny, beautifully observed and uplifting story
of a group of disabled women who live and work at The Crippleage,
Edgware. Inspired by the personal testimony and reminiscences of
real-life Flower Girls, the play shifts effortlessly between the
unsettled early years of World War II and the seemingly more
liberated world of 1965. Their stories reveal an indomitable spirit
and a fierce determination to find their place in the world, a
world that prefers to keep them at a safe distance. "A red button.
From a red coat...I collected them. From every coat of every new
arrival at the orphanage, before they were sold to the rag man. And
I would wait until they were at their homesick worst. A penny to
hold it, a shilling to keep it." Britain's foremost disabled-led
theatre company Graeae joins forces with The New Wolsey Theatre
Ipswich to present the world premiere of this play on 5 October
2007. The play is published as a programme text to coincide with
the production.
When one of a group of youngsters with learning difficulties, in
their last term at a special school, has an epileptic fit in her
mother's kitchen and burns herself, the rest come up with a way to
help. But helping means raising money. How they manage to reach
their target through their ingenious fundraising events, and how
along the way they are forced to come to terms with the harsh world
outside their school, is a funny and moving story of a class of
eight 'strugglers' who win and lose and win again through
friendship, love and determination.
