Relive the Scottish Referendum for Independence with stunning photos and artwork from the campaigns, rallies and social media... On the 18th September, 2014, the world watched as Scotland became the only nation in history to reject Independence. As the day arrived, there was a surprising surge for people wanting independence, which caught the other side of the campaign off guard. The general feeling on the Scottish streets was one of extremely nervous anticipation that Independence was nigh. As the nation watched the results come in, the anticipation was replaced with shock and there was an over-whelming sense of heartbreak. Over the course of the following days, as political promises were broken, a new movement and energy grows within Scotland. Scotland may not be Independent yet, but it lives to fight another day...

The study focuses on sodium aluminosilicate scale formation during alumina production, particularly investigating sodalite and cancrinite. It explores the scaling mechanisms, supersaturation, and kinetics of desilication reactions that lead to precipitation. Researchers determined the equilibrium solubilities of these scales in synthetic Bayer liquor across various temperatures and measured their growth kinetics, revealing specific order dependencies and activation energies. Additionally, the transformation from sodalite to cancrinite was identified as a solution-mediated process, suggesting that adopting a seeding strategy could minimize scale accumulation in heat exchangers.

A new epic begins fueled by visions promising him prolonged life and political power, the dying Corajidin, leader of a millennia-old dynasty, has brought the nation of Shrīan to civil war. But is his bright destiny assured, or do the events unfolding around him promise a more ignoble, and finite, future Indris, warrior-mage of the Sēq Scholars and scion of a rival Great House, is caught in the upheaval. Driven by loyalty and conscience to return to a city that haunts his past, Indris reluctantly accepts the task of finding a missing man, the only one able to steer the teetering nation toward peace? The celebrated warrior-poet, Mari, touches both men's lives: one as daughter, one as lover. As her world unravels around her, can she be true to both her duty to blood, and her own desires for freedom and happiness.

This is a pictorial look at aspects of life in Britain and in other parts of Europe in the run up to the start of WWII using press photographs from the era. It examines the reality behind the claim that Britain was a nation prepared for the coming war. The images reproduced here are now in the archives of The Times and The Sunday Times . The 1930s are put in context by referencing back to the end of the Great War and the Versailles Treaty. The book explores how Britain and, to a lesser extent, France were confronted with the next world war even as they struggled, in both material and psychological terms, to recover from the previous one. Another theme is whether the press was complicit in the country's unpreparedness for what was to come. The Times under the editorship of Geoffrey Dawson, seemed in every sense, to be an organ of the establishment and Dawson was more than happy to temper the paper’s coverage of Hitler’s excesses so as not to undermine the appeasement policy of Neville Chamberlain and Dawson's close friend Edward Wood, ennobled as Lord Halifax, Britain’s Foreign Secretary. The photographs in If War Should Come present a fascinating glimpse of turbulent times. Striking and memorable images are accompanied by informative and insightful captions to give a different but utterly absorbing perspective on this fascinating era.

Want to make your students more responsible for their own learning? Want to create an academic environment in which students thrive and develop a genuine thirst for knowledge? Want to improve your students' standardized test results but avoid a "teach-to-the-test" mentality that throttles creativity and freedom? In this book, Mark Barnes introduces and outlines the Results Only Learning Environment—a place that embraces the final result of learning rather than the traditional methods for arriving at that result. A results-only classroom is rich with individual and cooperative learning activities that help students demonstrate mastery learning on their own terms, without being constrained by standards and pedagogy. By embracing results-only learning, you will be able to transform your classroom into a bustling community of learners in which?* Students collaborate daily on a number of long-term, ongoing projects.* Students receive constant narrative feedback.* Yearlong projects target learning outcomes more meaningfully than worksheets, homework, tests, and quizzes.* Freedom and independence are valued over punitive points, percentages, and letter grades.* Students manage themselves and all but eliminate the need for traditional classroom management.Learn how your students can take charge of their own achievement in an enjoyable, project-based, workshop setting that challenges them with real-world learning scenarios—and helps them attain uncommonly excellent results.
