I Sing of Bricks
Angela Topping’s poems are full of joy, tempered by sadness and always unflinchingly honest. She writes in a range of voices, always concentrating on the human experience, sometimes through unusual routes, like bricks, shoes, a single glove. These are poems in which the senses inform the striking imagery, where love is measured in actualities, and observation is close and truthful. Her feet are firmly rooted to the earth, though her head may be full of dreams and memories. Her working class childhood combined with her subsequent immersion in Literature, and passion for writing from an early age, combine to make her work accessible as well as poetically exciting. I Sing of Bricks is her fourth book for adults. If you have not yet been converted to her magical poetry, this chapbook is a wonderful introduction.

Apocalypso
Poetry. Angela Topping's carefully crafted poetry probes love, death, parenthood and the intricacies of relationships. She exposes human frailty in her unpacking of family history, the suppressed eroticism of forbidden love and the magic of the everyday. Her wit is metaphysical in its playfulness and she slyly makes us laugh at ourselves. She uses familiar figures such as Peter Pan and Frankenstein's monster to comment on marriage and parenthood, using imagery which is often both deeply sensuous and startlingly original. Angela Topping writes in a very sharp, clear voice that never minces words and makes you see the wider significance of a seemingly minor event. This book shows a strong awareness of craft and a dlightful use of words -- City Life.
Peer-assisted Learning
Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) involves children in school consciously assisting others to learn, and in so doing learning more effectively themselves. It encompasses peer tutoring, peer modeling, peer education, peer counseling, peer monitoring, and peer assessment, which are differentiated from other more general "co-operative learning" methods. PAL is not diluted or surrogate "teaching"; it complements and supplements (but never replaces) professional teaching--capitalizing on the unique qualities and richness of peer interaction and helping students become empowered democratically to take more responsibility for their own learning. In this book, PAL is presented as a set of dynamic, robust...

Lives of the Dead
Hanoch Levin's poetry stands alone as a single volume in his collected works, which run to fifteen volumes of drama and prose. Levin's poetic voice - mordant, witty, irreverent, erotic and highly satirical, yet also whimsical and delicate - is arresting, distinctive and unusual. When this volume was published in Israel, it proved to be enormously popular and went through three editions in its first year and has continued to be reprinted since. This bilingual edition makes his poetry available to an English-language readership for the first time - to date Levin is only known in the UK as a playwright.
