Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Young's Literal Translation of the Bible is a strictly literal
translation of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. It was written
in 1898 by Robert Young. It is a great resource for anyone serious
about finding out what the original authors of the Bible actually
wrote. It includes the preface to the 1st, Revised and 3rd
Editions.
The theory of critique, or 'critical theory', as developed by
Habermas and applied to education by Young, is far from being
merely negative. It is quite explicitly an optimistic educational
theory, in which the hope for rational progress, peace, global
understanding and ecological sanity, is celebrated. Now that
dogmatic Marxism has been swept into the rubbish bin of history, it
may be possible to engage in a less paranoid appraisal of the
claims of critical theory - the most revisionist legacy of Marxism.
A close look shows it to be eminently practical,
democratically-minded and responsible. In this book, Young
summarises critical learning theory, shows its relationship to
educational research, particularly research on classroom
communication, and demonstrates its value for classroom teachers in
a variety of 'real-life' classrooms. Far from being a utopian
approach, it comes to grips with the everyday problems of teachers
in real, imperfect, underfunded schools. Motivation, interest,
getting through the work, achieving real understanding and
teacher-planner relationships are fully discussed, using classroom
transcripts.
Insect pests remain a major threat to crop production primarily
because of their ability to inflict severe damage on crop yields,
as well as their role as key vectors of disease. Early
identification of pests is critical to the success of integrated
pest management (IPM) programmes and essential for the development
of phytosanitary/quarantine regimes to prevent the introduction of
invasive insect pests to new environments. Advances in monitoring
of native and invasive insect pests of crops reviews the wealth of
research on techniques to monitor and thus prevent threats from
both native and invasive insect pests. The book considers recent
advances in areas such as sampling, identifying and modelling pest
populations. With its considered approach, the book explores
current best practices for the detection, identification and
modelling of native and invasive insect pests of crops. The
contributors offer farmers informed advice on how to mitigate a
growing problem which has been exacerbated as a result of climate
change.
Robert Young's famous translation of the New Testament Gospels, in
which each passage is written to reflect its exact and literal
meaning, is presented here in this attractive edition. For his
translation of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Robert Young used two
resources: The Textus Receptus (TR) are manuscripts in Greek whose
origins date to antiquity. Collated and published by the
Renaissance theologian Erasmus, these texts were used in
translations by Christian luminaries such as William Tyndale,
Robert Estienne and the scholars who composed the celebrated King
James Bible. Prior to their arrangement by Erasmus, the Greek texts
had been faithfully copied by monk scribes through the generations.
Majority Text (MT) - or the Byzantine text - are the commonest form
of text used for describing the character of the New Testament.
This textual criticism was cross-referenced by Young, that he could
present his own work in the most consistently literal manner
possible.
The works Minis had a long and distinguished competition history
between 1959 and 1970, when British Leyland bosses closed the
Abingdon Competition Department. The car started its competition
career chasing class awards with the diminutive 850cc Mini, but
once race car designer John Cooper persuaded BMC that they should
build a hot version, the Mini Cooper was born and things moved up a
gear. With the introduction of the Mini Cooper S, the car soon
became a world beater. Winning the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally in the
hands of Paddy Hopkirk was a watershed moment which the Abingdon
team repeated three times. During that 11-year period, 77 works
Minis were built, competing in more than 300 events, most of them
international rallies. The 1969 season, when the works Minis went
racing, is also covered, along with the rallycross events. The book
covers each one of those 77 cars which, in their distinctive red
and white paintwork, were a force be reckoned with wherever they
competed. Build details of every car are provided, drawn from
factory build sheets, with information also on when cars were
reshelled and identities swapped. The details of the events entered
and the drivers are the result of analysing hundreds of
contemporary race and rally reports. The result is the most
in-depth study of the works Minis ever published, made possible by
years of research by Robert Young, a lifelong Mini enthusiast.
