A new look at Shakespeare's play in accordance with the work of the Shakespeare and Schools Project, the National Curriculum for English, developments at GCSE and A-level, and the probable development of English and Drama throughout the 1990s. Cambridge School Shakespeare considers the play as theatre and the text as script, enabling pupils to inhabit the imaginative world of the play in an accessible, meaningful and creative way. Cambridge School Shakespeare approaches the plays in a new way, encouraging students to participate actively in examining them, to work in groups as well as individually, to treat each play as a script to be re-created, and to explore the theatrical/dramatic qualities of the text. The editorial comments cater for pupils of all ages and abilities, providing clear, helpful guidelines for school study. The format of the plays is also designed to help all teachers, whether experienced or inexperienced. NB This replaces the information previously issued.

This is my third book on Parapsychology. The first one was an introductory book and the second book was to highlight the need for trending towards Causal Research. This book is a little different as it is trying to look at Parapsychology in an unbiased rational way by including details of opponents' views and weighing the views of proponents and opponents in a rational way. My two earlier published books had a leaning towards a firm belief in paranormal events and probably had a so-called "Confirmation Bias.”

Komiksová adaptace slavného románu anglického spisovatele Daniela Defoa je určena dětem od 9 let. Strhující děj, výstižné ilustrace a forma obrázkového románu nadchne každé dítě a čtení se tak pro něj stane zábavou. Devatenáctiletý Robinson Crusoe není spokojen se svým klidným, ale nudným životem v Anglii. Tak rád by se plavil po moři a poznával svět. Jeho touha po dobrodružství ho přiměje bez rozloučení s rodiči opustit rodnou zemi a vydat se do cizích krajů. Během následujících pěti let poznává mnoho míst a lidí, ale především sám sebe. Zažije několik nebezpečných situací na moři i na pevnině, a tak si začíná pohrávat s myšlenkou, že se usadí. Ale jeho dobrodružná povaha ho ještě jednou přiměje nasednout na loď. Tentokrát má však ztroskotání lodi katastrofální následky a Robinson se jako jediný z posádky zachrání na zdánlivě opuštěném ostrově. Je možné, aby v takové situaci člověk sám přežil? Podaří se mu ostrov opustit, nebo na něm bude muset zůstat?

"The lightning was all around me. I looked at the huge body. The silver light reached the hands, the feet and the head. For a moment everything was quiet. Was it moving? No, yes! An arm moved, then a leg. Then I heard breathing. Yes, the man was breathing. He was alive!"--Back cover.

Referring to "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, " H. L. Mencken noted that his discovery of this classic American novel was "the most stupendous event of my whole life"; Ernest Hemingway declared that "all modern American literature stems from this one book," while T. S. Eliot called Huck "one of the permanent symbolic figures of fiction, not unworthy to take a place with Ulysses, Faust, Don Quixote, Don Juan, Hamlet." The novel's preeminence derives from its wonderfully imaginative re-creation of boyhood adventures along the mighty Mississippi River, its inspired characterization, the author's remarkable ear for dialogue, and the book's understated development of serious underlying themes: "natural" man versus "civilized" society, the evils of slavery, the innate value and dignity of human beings, the stultifying effects of convention, and other topics. But most of all, "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is a wonderful story filled with high adventure and unforgettable characters (including the great river itself) that no one who has read it will ever forget. Unabridged Dover (1994) republication of the text of the first American edition, published by Charles L. Webster and Company, New York, 1885. New introductory Note."
