Men in Primary Education
Why are just 1 in 7 primary teachers mal? eveloped from the Men Teach Primary network, this thought-provoking book explores the complexities surrounding this under-representation. It asks what the absence of men means for all children, for schools and for the profession as a whole. Through insightful research, personal reflection and the lived experience of educators, this book celebrates the universal rewards of primary teaching, and examines the structural barriers and benefits men encounter alongside the persistent social stigma they can face. Drawing these threads together, it sets out meaningful short and long-term strategies for building more gender-balanced teaching teams and explains the right reasons for wanting more men in the profession.

Daughter of Mother-of-Pearl
Daughter of Mother-of-Pearl collects Mandy-Suzanne Wong’s reminiscences, dreams, investigations, and experiments in being with small invertebrates whose vulnerability and creativity inspire radical reimaginings of Earthlinghood. In graceful linked essays, Wong wonders: What constitutes a self if a starfish can twist off one of his arms to explore the seafloor on its own? What is an animate being, considering a living snail is also an inanimate shell? What does love mean to a jellyfish, or time to an octopus? Her encounters with nonhuman animals reshape her language into different forms from collage to fragments, and prompt uncommon engagements with various texts. She looks behind words like “invasive” and “endling” in scientific articles and in poetry, questions natural selection with a bubble-rafting snail, sees the bivalve in Dostoevsky, and studies a speculative treatise about a “vampire squid from hell.”Personal yet de-personal, at once tender and challenging, Wong’s essays invite humans to rethink our relationship to other beings. Instead of capturing and destroying them, using them as resources or reflections of ourselves, she asks us only to coexist with them—to cherish them although, and because, we cannot fully know them.

Druhý suvenýr
Zdánlivě obyčejná sebevražda řadového úředníka v pražské vile představuje teprve začátek napínavého detektivního příběhu. Když se totiž policejní inspektor Kafka ponoří do vyšetřování, odhalí spojitost s legendami opředenou smrtí Jana Masaryka.
Mohlo se jednat o sebevraždu, nebo byl oblíbený ministr zahraničí zavražděn? Jak vypadaly jeho poslední dny a hodiny? A co by vlastně mohlo být tím druhým suvenýrem, který by snad konečně mohl odhalit pravdu o Masarykově smrti? Další úmrtí na sebe nenechají dlouho čekat. Každá nová stopa rozmazává hranici mezi pravdou a klamem.
Druhý suvenýr je strhující literární thriller, který spojuje napětí, historii a neúnavnou snahu o dosažení spravedlnosti — vyjde pravda konečně najevo, nebo bude navždy pohřbena?

Gyilkosság a képtárban
Ágoston épp élete legunalmasabb vakációját tölti, amikor váratlan telefonhívást kap a nagyapjától. A fiúnak Kapitány Káprázatos Képtárába kell sietnie, de amit ott talál, attól leesik az álla! A vadnyugati műalkotások között egy cowboy véres hullája fekszik a földön. Vajon ki lőtte le és miért? És hogyan került a holttest a bezárt épületbe?
Gondolkodásra azonban nincs idő. A nagyapja egy ősi varázslat segítségével átjárót nyit a képen, és mielőtt Ágoston felocsúdhatna, azon kapja magát, hogy a prérin ügetnek egy indián tábor felé.
Különös nyomozásuk egyik képből a másikba robusztus kastélyokon, morajló tengereken és zsúfolt londoni utcákon át egészen a hold sötét oldaláig vezet. A tét pedig egyre emelkedik: meg kell találniuk a gyilkost, mielőtt az elpusztítaná a híres festmények mágikus világát…
Fiala Borcsa új könyve, a Gyilkosság a képtárban izgalmas utazásra hív a híres, gondolatébresztő vagy épp meghökkentő képzőművészeti alkotások terébe.
Szinvai Dániel 27 fejezethez alkotott 27 illusztrációjának segítségével pedig olyan festők művei elevenednek meg az oldalakon, mint Eugene Delacroix, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Vincent van Gogh vagy Bernáth Aurél.
Herefordshire's Military Heritage
Herefordshire has always been a border region and prone to conflict. During the Iron Age it was the dividing line between the Silures and Dobunni tribes and many hill forts in the area are still visible. The division heightened with the coming of the Romans as the Dobunni accepted Roman rule but the Silures carried out a successful guerilla campaign against the invaders. The arrival of the Saxons pushed the people that came to be called the Welsh back through the county, so that when the Normans took control, they found an unruly land that demanded their full attention and building of border castles by the Marcher Lords. Throughout the medieval period Herefordshire was fought over by the Vikings, Normans and the Welsh, culminating in the rebellion of Owain Glyndwr. Civil wars also played out among the green fields of Herefordshire, from the Anarchy of the twelfth century to the Wars of the Roses of the fifteenth century and the Civil War of the seventeenth century. Later, Herefordshire supplied many men for Britain’s armed forces in its county regiments, not least in the world wars of the twentieth century, and the county is a fitting home for the Special Air Service, the most feared unit in the British Army. This book will be of interest to all those who would like to know more about Herefordshire’s remarkable military history.

Love and Virtue in a Secular Age
In a comprehensive meditation on freedom and reason, Ralph Hancock reveals the pressing need for renewed confidence in virtue and agency. With an emphasis on reclaiming the moral preconditions of Christian love, Love and Virtue in a Secular Age offers a thought-provoking study on the effects of secularism on Christian morality. Ralph C. Hancock brings eminent scholars of the Christian Aristotelian tradition, such as Thomas Aquinas and Pierre Manent, into conversation with insights from Leo Strauss's critique of Christianity. Love and Virtue in a Secular Age sheds light on the various ways in which the increasing prevalence of secular humanitarian sensibility has voided the idea of humanity of its natural substance. In a probing reflection poised at the intersection of the theological and the political, Hancock outlines a new theological ethic according to which faith must redeem a certain pride and particularism on behalf of real Christian communities and the virtues they enact.
Bexhill-on-Sea Through Time
Bexhill-on-Sea, often simply called Bexhill, is a seaside resort located on the south coast of England, in East Sussex. The town was transformed by the arrival of the railways in the mid-nineteenth century. Once a haunt of smugglers, Bexhill became popular, attracting many to live by the sea or visit the town. The 7th Earl De La Warr developed Bexhill as a fashionable resort, building new streets and grand houses and hotels and later generations continued this work, most famously with the 1930s’ De La Warr Pavilion. Today, the town retains a quiet and dignified appeal for its many visitors and residents.In spite of the many changes that have occurred in Bexhill-on-Sea, the town has retained its identity, with historical buildings alongside the new. This fascinating selection of old and new images of Bexhill-on-Sea will be essential reading for all those who know the area.
Scenic North Wales Bus Journeys
The scenery of North Wales is well known for its breathtaking views and historic landmarks, with towns and villages having their own unique history and modern-day function. But one thing that links them all, quite literally in many instances, is the bus, the ever-vital lifeline for communities enabling people to travel to the shops or to medical appointments, to school or college, or to work. The bus can provide journeys that rail cannot, and does so here with a backdrop of castles, lakes, forests, market towns and the stunning coastline.Travelling from east to west, Simon Ackers visits Wrexham, Flintshire, Denbighshire, Conwy and Gwynedd, with scenic sights framing the variety of bus types and operators as they go about their daily work, with each picture providing an insight into the location and the vehicle.
London's Titans
The Titan was an integral double-decker bus built by Leyland Motors, becoming the standard double-decker produced by the company in the 1980s. The type was not as popular as its main competitor, the MCW Metrobus. As with this latter model, London Transport was Leyland’s best customer for the Titan. Leyland built one of the prototype Titans to London specification and it was used on trials from Chalk Farm garage in May 1976. The first six entered service with London Transport from Hornchurch garage in December 1978. The first 250 were built at the former AEC facility in Southall. Production then moved north to Leyland’s own factory in Workington. The last members of the fleet were delivered to London Transport in 1984, with 1,125 being built new for London. These were joined by five additional Titans from West Midlands PTE in 1984, as well as a former demonstrator, bringing the total to 1,131. At the time of privatisation, Titans passed to six of the new London operators. A number of Titans passed to London Pride and the Big Bus Company for further use as tour buses. David Beddall documents the Titan’s service in London, both in normal passenger service and as a tour bus, through a diverse selection of high-quality images.
Nobility and Fortune
Noble Fortunes is the story of how, between 899 and 975, England was transformed from an idea into a kingdom. It is the story of the unification of a nation. It is also the story of a royal family, with a shadowy patriarch and a warrior princess and a dissolute reprobate. It is the story of a deeply principled archbishop and a deeply unprincipled archbishop. It is a story of heroic deeds and squalid misdeeds.Above all, it is the story of an ongoing contest for power: between rival candidates for the throne, between Crown and Church, between north and south, and between the English and the Norse.
Bradford Murders and Misdemeanours
Bradford in the century between 1850 and 1950 witnessed extraordinary growth and changes. Its wealth was based on the textile industry and the city became known as the ‘wool capital of the world’. It was a city of migrants, many from Ireland, and despite the efforts of philanthropic industrialists such as Titus Salt wealth and poverty often lived close to each other. The city was a breeding ground for crime and Bradford Borough Police Force was formed in the 1840s, dealing with the ‘high crimes’ of murder and large scale robberies and frauds, to ‘low level’ crimes such as petty theft, vagrancy and loitering. Delving into original sources, court reports and newspaper archives, the authors also look at the effects of illegal gambling on crimes before the 1960 Betting & Gaming Act and the particular involvement of young people in crimes and their punishments.This collection of true life crime stories from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries gives a vivid insight into life in Bradford in the past. This book will fascinate anyone with an interest in the history of crime as well as those who want to know more about the history of Bradford.

A History of Bus Operators in Preston
The earliest recorded operators of buses in Preston were pioneers who provided services from nearby surrounding villages in the 1910s. The local town services were initially provided by the Corporation’s tramway system with buses only being introduced in 1922. From 1919, Ribble Motor Services gradually became the dominant operator connecting the town to the rest of Lancashire and beyond. Other significant operators were J. Fishwick & Sons, Scout Motors and Viking Motors.The various out-of-town operators established their own bus stations in the town centre while the Corporation bus services used on-street stands. This situation prevailed until 1969 when a new central bus station was opened in the centre and all bus services were transferred accordingly.This book also details special services such as football and works buses and holiday traffic, which used to snake along the Arterial Road (Blackpool Road) in the postwar boom years carrying holidaymakers to the Fylde coast in their tens-of-thousands. The once-every-twenty-years Preston Guild and its impact on local services over the years is not without mention.Mike Rhodes documents the bus operators who have served Preston with many rare and unpublished photographs and informative captions.
Secret Kilmarnock
Kilmarnock is the largest town in Ayrshire. For much of its history it was a market town serving the surrounding area but during the Industrial Revolution it became a manufacturing centre. Connected to the harbour at Troon and later Glasgow by the new railway network, coal, goods and passengers were transported to and from Kilmarnock. The town grew rapidly, swallowing neighbouring villages, and became known for businesses as Johnnie Walker, Saxone Shoes, DMK Carpets and Andrew Barclay Sons & co locomotive builders. Although many of these businesses have now disappeared Kilmarnock has diversified and regenerated, and in this book local journalist, historian and author Frank Beattie explores lesser known aspects of the town’s past, highlighting its strong cultural as well as industrial heritage.With tales of remarkable characters, unusual events and tucked away or disappeared historical buildings and locations, Secret Kilmarnock will appeal to all those with an interest in the history of this town in Ayrshire.
