Mass Market. Condición: Good. First Edition. 176 Pages, Store stamp inside back cover. Some light wrinkling but no stains or other evidence of moisture exposure. No other defects noted and pages are free of marks. Seventeen page center section of black and white photographs. This book is not intended for Teachers, University Lecturers, Child Psychologists, Directors of Education or any other professional who knows the answers. It is intended for parents, and those interested in the way children grow up at school, who normally have only their own experience to help them, and who realize that education may have changed since their day. Our own memories of childhood are inevitably limited, evanescent, and clouded with confusion between what was and what might have been. The book is an attempt, superficial no doubt, to steer a middle course amid the conflicting evidence, and to give some idea of what happens to our young from the hour when they leave home to go to school until they come back to tea. Contents in 13 Chapters: Why Education, choosing the First School, The Infant School, The Junior School, Seven to Eleven, The Modern School, The Second School, The Grammar School, Seven to Seventeen, The First Job, The Teacher, School Health Services, and Better Schools for All.…

Much is spoken of the changing role of women, but for working-class girls there has been little change. They are still brought up to marry, have children and care for their homes, husbands and families. It is assumed that they should seek jobs, but these must always take second place. Basing her work on the results of research in four London schools, Sue Sharpe describes and analyzes in this book the many ways in which society constrains women. Mass Market PB.…

Portrait of a youthful Kenneth Clark at the rear panel. Language: English. Weight: 6.5 ounces. Pelican A 369. This text was first published in the UK in 1949. Mass-Market Paperback. Among many honours, Kenneth Clark was knighted at the unusually young age of thirty-five, and three decades later was made a life peer shortly before the first transmission of his acclaimed BBC Television series 'Civilisation'. Three decades after his death, Clark was celebrated in an exhibition at Tate Britain in London, prompting a reappraisal of his career by a new generation of critics and historians, during which his skill as a writer and his enthusiasm for popularising the arts were widely recognised. Both the BBC and the Tate described him in retrospect as one of the most influential figures in British art of the twentieth century. This is an engaging read. It describes the history of western landscape painting, from medieval manuscripts up through the neoimpressionists, Van Gogh and Cezanne. It considers both "realism" and fantasy landscapes, and demonstrates how the depiction of light was always an essential aspect of the portrayal of landscapes, long certainly before the Impressionists. It explains why Constable is the great progenitor, and what was new, and what was not, in the impressionists. He's a gracious and knowledgable writer. A classic of the genre. ; Thin 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 158 pages First Edition Thus [1979], Third Printing (1986); First Printing.…
