Exploring History Student Book 1: Monarchs, Monks and Migrants
Exploring History Student Book 2: Cavaliers, Colonies and Coal
Exploring Northumberland History was born out of a deep-seated love of the heritage, history and landscape of this very special county. Its marvellous geography, its unique political position, its special place in the history of the north and the character of its lively inhabitants have woven together to produce that unique Northumbrian charisma. Northumberland is a huge county and was frequently described in early documents as a wasteland, and indeed, it suffered greatly as a buffer state between the continually warring kingdoms of England and Scotland - sometimes taking sides but in reality owing allegiance to neither. This new book is a clever blend of contemporary photographs and historical fact, coloured with old folk-stories and mystery to lead us on an exciting exploration through the history of England's most northerly county.
This book offers a broad sweep of history through exploration of six case-study subject areas and in the light of three key themes: consumers and producers; beliefs and ideologies; and state-formation. The selection of documents illuminates the links between concurrent events in diverse places and illustrates the legacies of important social, religious and political trends.--[book cover].

From surgery to vaccines, man has made great strides in the field of medicine. Quality of life has improved dramatically in the last few decades alone, and the future is bright. But students must not forget that God provided humans with minds and resources to bring about these advances.

In Exploring the World of Medicine, author John Hudson Tiner reveals the spectacular discoveries that started with men and women who used their abilities to better mankind and give glory to God. The fascinating history of medicine comes alive in this book, providing students with a healthy dose of facts, mini-biographies, and vintage illustrations. Includes chapter tests and index.
Giving students opportunities to read like historians has the potential to move their thinking and understanding of history in monumental ways. In Exploring History through Young Adult Literature: Middle School, Volume 1 each chapter presented in this volume provides middle school readers with approaches and activities for pairing a young adult novel with specific historical events, eras, or movements. Chapters include suggested instructional activities for before, during, and after reading as well as extension activities that move beyond the text. Each chapter concludes with a final discussion on how the spotlighted YA text can inspire students to be moved to take informed action within their communities or beyond. Through the reading and study of the young adult novels students are guided to a deeper understanding of history while increasing their literacy practices.
Walking around Lee-on-the-Solent provides tantalising glimpses into its past - whether it's the balconied Victorian buildings in Pier Street, the Art Deco frontages above the shops in Marine Parade West, the airfield with its gliders soaring peacefully overhead, the hovercraft museum, the sight of yachts on the sparkling waters of the Solent, or the lengthy list of names on the War Memorial.
