Product Description
This series is based explicitly on National Curriculum programmes of study, attainment targets and assessment. The fact that there is one book per subject for each age range makes it easy for the parent to identify what they need to buy. There is an 8-page parents' pull-out section which gives explanations, advice and suggestions for extension activities, while integral assessment procedures allow parents to identify and focus on their child's special needs. The approach aims to make learning enjoyable and fun. Although the series is based on the National Curriculum for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the content and approach would be appropriate for most English speaking areas. ... Read more

Product Description
Written for lay people, this book offers optimism and hope to people with brain damage and those who look after them. The authors describe the patient's possible handicaps in order to show how they can be overcome. They explain what strokes and head injuries are, who the victims may be and why, what the patient feels and can expect to feel in the future, how carers can help, and how patients can help themselves. The recovery stages are described, with practical advice on how everyone involved can help make the best of each situation. The underlying concepts are based on the most up-to-date expertise available in the rehabilitation of brain-damaged patients.

Product Description
Volume I of this critical edition of Shelley's prose--the first since the Julian Edition (1926-30)--provides authoritative texts of The Necessity of Atheism, the Irish pamphlets, the vegetarian essays, The Assassins, A Refutation of Deism, On Christianity, the "Hermit of Marlow" political writings, and several reviews. The texts, which are based on first editions and manuscripts, were all written between Shelley's last months in Oxford in 1811 and his departure for Italy in 1818. They are conservatively edited, with all changes from copy-text noted, along with revisions, deletions, and a historical collation of significant earlier editions. The Introduction provides a description of these editions, a full statement of editorial principles and practice, and an account of the relevant political and social context as Shelley knew and wrote about it. The commentary pays particular attention to the problems of dating the manuscripts, and contains more detailed copy-text descriptions, more thorough accounts of provenance, and more information on sources and allusions than any previous edition of the works. Location lists of rare first editions are comparably more complete than those provided in earlier bibliographies. ... Read more
