Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Studying English Literature is a unique guide for undergraduates beginning to study the discipline of literature and those who are thinking of doing so. Unlike books that provide a survey of literary history or non-subject specific manuals that offer rigid guidelines on how to write essays, Studying English Literature invites students to engage with the subject's history and theory whilst at the same time offering information about reading, researching and writing about literature within the context of a university. The book is practical yet not patronizing: for example, whilst the discussion of plagiarism provides clear guidelines on how not to commit this offence, it also considers the difficulties students experience finding their own 'voice' when writing and provokes reflection on the value of originality and the concepts of adaptation, appropriation and intertextuality in literature. Above all, the book prizes the idea of argument rather than insisting upon formulaic essay plans, and gives many ways of finding something to say as you read and when you write, in chapters on Reading, Argument, Essays, Sentences and References. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. What was the Enlightenment? Was it a unified body of thought generated by an established canon of 'great thinkers', or were there many areas of contradiction and divergence? How far-reaching were its critiques intended to be? Was it a revolutionary body of thought, or was it merely a catalyst for the revolutionary age which followed it? Did it mean the same for men and for women, for rich and poor, or for European and non-European? In this important new textbook Dorinda Outram addresses these, and other, questions about the 'Enlightenment'. She sets the major debates of the period against the broader social changes such as the onset of industrialisation in Western Europe, the establishment of new colonial empires, and the exploration of hitherto unmapped portions of the world's surface. This unique and accessible synthesis of scholarship will be invaluable to any student of eighteenth-century history. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In most subjects it would be unthinkable to ask children to write what they cannot say. Yet in mathematics children who 'cannot do' a question are freqeuently given more paper and pencil examples. Talking Points contains suggestions for encouraging children to think and talk about mathematics. The ideas are grouped by topic and arranged approximately in order of difficulty from level 1 to level 6 of the National Curriculum. The book will thus be invaluable for all teachers in primary schools and many teaching the lower years of secondary school. The ideas vary from the imaginative: - Could an elephant walk through the door of the classroom? What would you need to know? to thoughts with a practical basis: - Estimate the school's floor area. What about its volume? The introduction discusses the purpose of the book, suggests strategies for planning and organising the work, and gives ideas for extending and evaluating the discussions. The rest of the book provides different ideas to support five or more minutes of discussion. One section describes talking points in full with suggested questions, lists of vocabulary that could be brought in, aims, organisation and follow-up. The other sections contain lots more ideas described more briefly. The suggestions focus on the use of mathematical vocabulary, the use of imagery and mental arithmetic strategies.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The rise of feminism is undeniably one of the major events in the development of literary criticism this century. Feminist approaches have pushed forward both the theory of literary criticism and the understanding of individual works of literature. K. K. Ruthven's lucid introduction to the subject offers a broad survey, looking at the impact of Marxism, structuralism, and post-structuralism on feminist critical practice; the argument that literary language has been shaped by masculine bias; and feminist claims for distinctive styles and traditions of women's writing. As a lively contribution written by a man to a highly controversial topic dominated by women, K. K. Ruthven's study is original and even provocative, but above all serves as a valuably clear and sympathetic guide to the complexities of an important issue in modern literary studies.

The use of binoculars for observing the sun, the Moon, the planets, comets and shooting stars is then described.
