"This book is for teachers of 'A' level English looking for ways to incorporate new teaching and learning styles and cross-curricular themes into classroom work. It will also be useful to teachers of English who are being encouraged to diversify into the increasingly popular area of Communications." "The authors define 'entitlement' in terms of processes (the development of students' confidence and autonomy as learners) and content (material which invites an informed and critical response to society). The first part of the book is concerned with 'A' level English literature and explores a variety of teaching and learning styles and a range of socially relevant issues that can be accommodated within English literature texts. Part Two concentrates on Communications Studies and shows how students gain confidence, independence and 'grasp' upon the world through the course and its assessed tasks." "The emphasis of the book is practical, and at every stage of their argument the authors provide examples of successful classroom practice which could readily be adapted to the needs of any English Department."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

One of Creasey most beloved series included Chief Inspector George Gideon of Scotland Yard, written under the J.J. Marric pen name. The Gideon series was also the most lauded. Anthony Boucher called Gideon’s Day, Creasey’s best work. HFR Keating included Gideon’s Week in his 100 Best Crime and Mystery Books. Mystery Writers of America awarded Creasey the Edgar for Best Novel for Gideon’s Fire. Gideon’s Day was dramatized into a film in the late 1950s, and the books became a television series in the early 1960s. Beyond the twenty-one novels, Creasey (as Marric) wrote a series of short stories featuring the Chief Inspector. These appeared in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine nearly 50 years ago, and this marks the first time that all of these works have been compiled into a book.

This pamphlet deals with how New Labour can make a difference for the better to the lives of the British. It acknowledges how achingly people want to see change, not rhetoric; and how important it is to the Labour Party itself to be able to deliver sensible changes at a low cost.

Commander George Gideon of Scotland Yard focuses his prowess on a mysterious murder, and the suspense builds as he encounters a grave threat to the future of England's churches

In the pitch darkness of the London Blackout, assassins' bullets struck home with deadly accuracy, for somehow, incredibly - the killers had the power to see in the dark. Gordon Craigie, head of Britain's top security Department Z, faced the gravest challenge of his career - for if that power fell into enemy hands, all Europe would be imperiled.

Roger Handsome West of Scotland Yard, its best and most down to earth detective, finds himself fighting for his life, after he is called upon to investigate a brutal attack on Danny O Hara. It had taken place in a luxury penthouse, where there was a mirrored bedroom and a mysterious, concealed, safe. The trail leads to an abortion clinic catering for starlets and a major film studio, but how are these linked and why is West in more danger than even he realises?"
