This series helps teachers demystify physics by showing students what it looks like. Field trips to hot-air balloon events, symphony concerts, bicycle shops, and other locales make complex concepts more accessible. Inventive computer graphics illustrate abstract concepts such as time, force, and capacitance, while historical reenactments of the studies of Newton, Leibniz, Maxwell, and others trace the evolution of theories. The Mechanical Universe helps meet different students' needs, from the basic requirements of liberal arts students to the rigorous demands of science and engineering majors. This series is also valuable for teacher professional development.
Brand-new edition - new, clear vocabulary sections, texts, topics and activities. Culture sections within each unit enable students to explore differences and draw comparisons with their own cultural backgrounds.

The Wanderer
I met him at the crossroads, a man with but a cloak and a staff, and a veil of pain upon his face. And we greeted one another, and I said to him, "Come to my house and be my guest."
And he came.
My wife and my children met us at the threshold, and he smiled at them, and they loved his coming.
Then we all sat together at the board and we were happy with the man for there was a silence and a mystery in him.
And after supper we gathered to the fire and I asked him about his wanderings.
He told us many a tale that night and also the next day, but what I now record was born out of the bitterness of his days though he himself was kindly, and these tales are of the dust and patience of his road.
And when he left us after three days we did not feel that a guest had departed but rather that one of us was still out in the garden and had not yet come in.
Isn't poetry a powerful tool! - one of the poets i remember reading as a kid... - s.

The book is clearly written and although intended for an audience with some knowledge and language difficulties would be accessible to a person coming to the topic for the first time....I would recommend it to any practitioner who wanted to find out more about the relationship between speech, language and communication difficulties and the development of literacy.
This book contains over sixty of the best loved English nursery rhymes, arranged according to themes and beautifully illustrated in full colour.
A special section at the back of the book includes the music for the songs as well as notes for the parents and teachers. These give suggestions on how to use the rhymes with their children, at home and in the classroom.
