Time Management for Teachers
Increased administrative duties, the National Curriculum, new tests and extra marking mean that teachers are under more pressure than ever. This book provides practical ideas for successful time management.
Peaches
The Stranglers were at the vanguard of punk and new wave whilst never really being accepted as 'proper' punks. Still going to this day, but without original guitarist Hugh Cornwell, the classic line up is Cornwell, Jean Jacques Burnel, Dave Greenfield and Jett Black. This is the line-up covered in this book which goes from the band's conception to Cornwell's departure in 1990.
Campus Express to Masochistville
On board the southbound Illinois Central, stopping at Maybrook, the State insane asylum before arriving at the university town of Masochistville, two unlikely passengers were thrown together, Nelson, a star athlete and cultural anthropology graduate who also happened to be black. And Joy, an apprehensive eighteen-year-old high school graduate, beginning her first year of college, who also happened to be white. This was 1957, two years after Rosa Parks refused to give up her segregated bus seat, yet social restraints on the crowded train didn't prevent the young couple's eventual copulation which led to an unwanted pregnancy and secretive abortion. As the enlightened philosophers' would say, love led to fornication, female jealousy led to betrayal, and sorrow and heartbreak morphed into what is called Masochism.
Finding Runaways and Missing Adults
Every year in the US, almost two million children run away from home. In addition, on the average, the police in our country have at any one time over 100,000 active missing-adult cases. This book will show readers how, with just a little advance preparation and insight, they can greatly increase their chances of finding a missing loved one, even after police have stopped actively looking. With sensationalized child disappearances, teenagers vanishing, and adults faking their own deaths, the challenge of finding missing persons often falls most directly on those who love them. And though in past years this involved a considerable amount of footwork, that is no longer the case. With the adven...
Africa’s Radicalisms and Conservatisms
With Africa as its point of reference and departure, this volume examines why and how the two concepts – radicalisms and conservatisms – should not be taken as mere binaries around which to organize knowledge. It demonstrates that these concepts have multiple and diverse meanings as perceived and understood from different disciplinary vantage points, hence, the deliberate pluralization of the terms. The essays show what happens when one juxtaposes the two concepts and how they are easily intertwined when different peoples’ lived experiences of poverty, political and social alienation, education, intolerance, youth activism, social (in)justice, violence, etc. across the length and bread...
The Old Days
Thane Drummond was born in South Freetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada, the year World War II began. It was a time without electricity, without running water, without a telephone, and without motorized transportation. But times would soon change. In the first of two parts, author Thane Drummond talks about growing up on a 100-acre farm in Freetown on Prince Edward Island. In this memoir, he tells about life as he remembers it from his family to school to friends and recreation. In the second section, Drummond traces his ancestry from Thomas Drummond, the original Drummond immigrant to Prince Edward Island in 1832, to the present day. The Old Days summarizes his ancestors' lives and describes how they lived, reflecting on the mindset and the conditions at the time. With photos included, this memoir provides both a glimpse of what life was like on Prince Edward Island at the beginning of WWII, while giving an overview of one family's cherished history.

The Land Reform Deception
The Land Reform Deception looks at a particularly contentious period in Zimbabwe's recent history, from 2000-2008, when the government seized commercial farms using illegal and violent methods against a largely unarmed population of farmers and farm workers. Robert Mugabe's government began the seizures on a small, targeted scale in an effort to suppress political opposition groups, but they soon escalated into an out-of-control frenzy targeting all farms in the country. The state claimed that the seizures occurred in response to a public cry for land redistribution and to rectify colonial-era injustices, and were part of a structured land reallocation program. Yet, land was often distribute...
Beyond the Thirty-Nine Steps
John Buchan's name is known across the world for The Thirty-Nine Steps. In the past one hundred years the classic thriller has never been out of print and has inspired numerous adaptations for film, television, radio and stage, beginning with the celebrated version by Alfred Hitchcock. Yet there was vastly more to 'JB'. He wrote more than a hundred books – fiction and non-fiction – and a thousand articles for newspapers and magazines. He was a scholar, antiquarian, barrister, colonial administrator, journal editor, literary critic, publisher, war correspondent, director of wartime propaganda, member of parliament and imperial proconsul – given a state funeral when he died, a deeply adm...
