1066 in Perspective
1066 in Perspective is a landmark publication offering a new interdisciplinary assessment of the impact of the Norman Conquest. Drawing upon research presented at the Tower of London on the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, the contributors, all of whom are scholars of international renown, examine 1066 from a wide range of perspectives: military, social, political, architectural, ecclesiastical, gender and art history. Published by the Royal Armouries, 1066 in Perspective is ideal for scholars, students and general readers wishing to understand the Norman Conquest in greater detail.
The Hidden Story
Two different and opposite kinds of readers are developed at the very beginning stages of reading instruction as the result of different and opposite kinds of teaching. One kind of reader is taught to read by the 'sound' of print, and reads automatically and with great accuracy. The other kind of reader is taught to read by the 'meaning' of print, as Chinese characters are read, and not only reads inaccurately, but is actually encouraged to do so by so-called 'psycholinguistic guessing.' The Hidden Story explains why the teaching of 'psycholinguistic guessing' to beginning readers, although it manifestly results in a life-long disability, has been the 'experts'' instructional preference ever since 1870, although the term itself is a relatively recent invention.
It's Part of What We Are - Volumes 1 and 2 - Volume 1: Richard Boyle (1566-1643) to John Tyndall (1820-1893); Volume 2: Samuel Haughton (18210-1897) to John Stewart Bell (1928-1990)
Biographies of more than 100 Irish scientists (or those with strong Irish connections), in the disciplines of Chemistry and Physics, including Astronomy, Mathematics etc., describing them in their Irish and international scientific, social, educational and political context. Written in an attractive informal style for the hypothetical 'educated layman' who does not need to have studied science. Well received in Irish and international reviews.
