    A Nation Decides : The Scottish Referendum in Pictures
    • 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 kinetics and mechanism of sodium aluminosilicate crystallisation in Bayer process scale formation

      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.

      The Spanish-American War and Philippine Insurrection, 1898-1902
    • 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 foster student responsibility for their own learning and create an environment where they thrive? This book introduces the Results Only Learning Environment, focusing on the outcomes of learning rather than traditional methods. In a results-only classroom, students engage in individual and cooperative activities that allow them to demonstrate mastery on their own terms, free from the constraints of standards and conventional pedagogy. By adopting this approach, you can transform your classroom into a vibrant learning community where: * Students collaborate on long-term projects. * They receive continuous narrative feedback. * Yearlong projects address learning outcomes more effectively than traditional assessments. * Freedom and independence take precedence over punitive grading systems. * Students manage themselves, significantly reducing the need for traditional classroom management. Discover how to empower your students to take charge of their achievement in a project-based, workshop setting that challenges them with real-world scenarios, leading to exceptional results.
