Extension Mathematics
This book is aimed at gifted and talented students in year 7, although it can also be used in the primary curriculum for highly able year 6 students. It consists of tightly focused sets of problems, with each set devoted to core ideas from the Framework but approached in a way that cultivatesmore profound mathematical thinking. The book is structured into a number of sections, which comes in three varieties: tasters, core, and extensions, thus recognising differentiation within the gifted spectrum. The materials can be used within ordinary lessons for top sets.
Sports Law
Long established as the market leading textbook on sports law, this much-anticipated new edition offers a comprehensive and authoritative examination of the legal issues surrounding and governing sport internationally. Locating the legal regulation of sport within an explicit socio-economic context, this refocused edition is divided into four core parts: Governance & Sport; Commercial Regulation; Sports Workplace; and Safety in Sport. Recent developments covered in this edition include: EU competition law interaction with sport under arts. 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union; the current World Anti-Doping Agency code; analysis of the recent Court of Arbitration for Sport Jurisprudence; reforms of the transfer system in team sports; anti-discrimination provisions in sport; engagement with match fixing; a focus on the legal context of 2012 London Olympics. Essential reading for students studying sports law or sports-related courses, this textbook will also prove useful to sports law practitioners and sports administrators in need of a clear companion to the field.
Mathematical Challenge
This book contains almost 600 unusual and challenging multiple-choice problems designed for students aged 11-15. The first part consists of past papers (1988SH93) for the annual UK Schools Mathematical Challenge. The second part contains forty-two short papers of ten questions each in the same style, and are designed to fill a thirty-minute class or homework slot. This collection of unusual, high quality problems will provide an invaluable resource for all mathematics teachers.
Beneath the Shadow
In February 2010, with the help of a friend who works as a photographer with a National Geographic–sponsored cruise line, Justin Gardiner boarded a ship bound for Antarctica. A stowaway of sorts, Gardiner used his experiences on this voyage as the narrative backdrop for Beneath the Shadow, a compelling firsthand account that breathes new life into the nineteenth-century journals of Antarctic explorers such as Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton, and Captain Roald Amundsen. Beneath the Shadow is centered on journal excerpts by eight famous explorers, which Gardiner uses as touchstones for modern-day experiences of harsh seas, chance encounters, rugged terrain, and unspeakable beauty. With equal parts levity and lyricism, Gardiner navigates the distance between the historical and the contemporary, the artistic and the scientific, the heroic and the mundane. The bold and tragic tales of Antarctic explorers have long held our collective imagination—almost as much as the mythically remote land such explorers ventured to—and this book makes those voices come to life as few ever have.
Healing Grounds
A powerful movement is happening in farming today—farmers are reconnecting with their roots to fight climate change. For one woman, that’s meant learning her tribe’s history to help bring back the buffalo. For another, it’s meant preserving forest purchased by her great-great-uncle, among the first wave of African Americans to buy land. Others are rejecting monoculture to grow corn, beans, and squash the way farmers in Mexico have done for centuries. Still others are rotating crops for the native cuisines of those who fled the “American wars” in Southeast Asia. In Healing Grounds, Liz Carlisle tells the stories of Indigenous, Black, Latinx, and Asian American farmers who are revi...
The 1940s House
Fifty-five years after the end of the Second World War, the Hymers family moved into a 1940s house in Kent under the skies where the Battle of Britain was fought. The family experienced many different aspects of life on the home front. Juliet Gardiner draws on the letters and diaries of many home front veterans as well as the experiences of the Hymer family to create a unique insight into life in Britain during the Second World War.

Harry Stafford
"Harry Stafford was never capped by his country, was never part of a major trophy winning side and never played in the top flight of the Football League. His major achievement as a Newton Heath or Manchester United player was a Manchester Senior Cup winners medal, yet he is undoubtedly the most important signing the club ever made." Most Manchester United fans know one of the founding fables of the club... of how Harry Stafford and his Saint Bernard dog helped save the club's forerunner, Newton Heath, and pave the way for the formation of the new club. But what became of United's saviour? When Stafford met millionaire John Henry Davies and traded his dog for the financial backing of his belo...
