Описание: Christine Carpenter's influential work on late-medieval English society aspires to encompass a wide spectrum of human experience. Her vision of "total" history embeds the study of politics in a multi-dimensional social framework which ranges from mentalities and ideology to economy and geography. This collection of essays celebrates Professor Carpenter's achievement by drawing attention to the social underpinning of political culture; the articles reflect the range of her interests, chronologically from the thirteenth century to the sixteenth, and thematically from ideology and culture, through government and its officials, the nobility, gentry and yeomanry, the law and the church, to local society. The connection between centre and locality pervades the volume, as does the interplay of the ideological and cultural with the practical and material. The essays highlight both how ideas were moulded in political debate and action, and how their roots sprang from social pressures and interests. It also emphasises the wider cultural aspects of topics too-easily conceived as local and material. Benjamin Thompson is Fellow and Tutor in History at Somerville College, Oxford; John Watts is Professor of Later Medieval History at the University of Oxford and Fellow and Tutor of Corpus Christi College, Oxford. Contributors: Jackson Armstrong, Caroline Burt, Tony Moore, Richard Partington, Ted Powell, Andrea Ruddick, Andrew Spencer, Benjamin Thompson, John Watts, Theron Westervelt, Jenny Wormald.

Overview of the story so far:
Will has been working all day long for the farmer on the Island of Ozimoth. One good thing about the day, thought Will as he rode his bike home: 'Today is payday'. The farmer had paid Will the same amount of money as he usually paid him, but this time, the farmer had given Will a 10% bonus because he had really worked hard for the last two weeks. Will was busily thinking about the bonus and wanted to know how much money the farmer had paid him. He was thinking too hard and suddenly, while riding his bike on the way home, he has an accident - Will comes off his bike and finds he is lying on the grass at the side of the gravel road next to a field. While he was trying to collect his thoughts, after the accident and still lying on the grass, Will thinks he hears the familiar sound of a space ship's motor. He is right, he does Will, joins the Grigan Leader, and his guards and they journey to the Planet of Grigan. While on Grigan, Will takes an un-expected journey to the Planet of Zadril. Scene One takes place when Will is hurtling down the large, black hole under the large tree on the Planet of Grigan
Because stress is such a serious subject, I have decided to tackle it with a light-hearted approach. I have used cats as part of the conversation throughout this book; cats seem to live a life of their own and only do what they want to do. Therefore, I'm going to focus on managing stress and work with the conditions and life situations that most people experience daily. I am also going to take you through the stories of Mary and Joe. Mary and Joe are the pseudonyms given to the some of the case studies. These are 'real-life' experiences for the people involved. In some instances, the name of the person is real as in the study of Nidal. You and I are going to take on the subject of stress together. After reading this book, you will own the power within your mind to create this positive way of living and working for now and into the future. The journey is what you make it. My purpose is to give you good, researched information that will allow you to get the maximum out of your life. I have introduced a chapter on the food you eat - many people don't realise, the food they eat can also make them feel stressed. With the cat conversations continuing and towards the end of the book, I introduce you to Mindfulness and how you can apply this ancient philosophy and technique in your life, many times a day, when needed. Becoming sensitive takes time and patience and is a goal you achieve through determination. With this information, you become strongminded, and have the ability, to Beat Stress in 20 Seconds. It's a startling realisation, when you take your power back, you can feel the strength of life surge through your mind and body. My aim is not only for adults to understand stress and how destructive unmanaged stress can be but to also make this knowledge easily available to young people. Managing stress is easy when you know how to manage it. I have therefore added a sign at the end of each chapter, this sign will prompt you into taking action, which will immediately allow you to work with managing the stress you are experiencing.
Why should you write a book? If you want to have your story remembered, write it down. Writing your story can relieve stress, contribute to your wellbeing and be your legacy - it is worth the effort, so start today.

Hypothesis for writing this book: Through education, attitudes can be changed to start to eradicate family and domestic violence. This book sets out the guidelines to keep you safe.
"Teaching money management in a fun and interesting way is a tall order. On the whole, most teachers do not feel they have the skills, knowledge or resources to tackle personal finance education. Can Will Jones help? Context, narrative and purpose are three essential ingredients to feed dialogue and discussion, and the Will Jones resources for primary schools mix all three in a dynamic way. Children join Will and Ben on a rich adventure set on the wealthy planet of Ozimoth, where they can find out more about how to manage money, and realise the importance of a money system, using a fictitious currency called Rupins. The story and play aim to get children thinking more carefully about what to do with their money and the life choices they can make. The charming narrative is well written: the story would work well as a class reader and the play could be staged as an assembly. The Rupins concept is a great place to start and children will enjoy the adventure..." Source extracted: TES Times Education Supplement No 4714 8 December 2006 International Accreditation.

For You - The Beginning Of An Exciting Journey
Life is full of surprises. A greater surprise can come about when you discover your own inner strength and tenacity. By stopping, listening to your inner voice and taking the time to respect the great internal gifts you have, life's journey can become an exciting adventure.
As you read and work through the different essential flower and plant oils, you will discover the awakening of your senses; the power the oil contains, and how this power can transcend within you and work with your higher self.
Included in the book are the steps to take in learning how to breathe properly. Breathing correctly is essential to maintaining good health and wellbeing. By breathing properly, essential oils can add to your quality of life, happiness and longevity.
It's the combination of breathing properly and using essential oils, I believe, that will allow the human being, regardless of any situation, to become grounded, responsible and work through the most difficult of experiences.
Stress is inevitable in life, in fact, if we didn't have stress in our lives, we would never get any jobs done, bills paid or other mundane tasks accomplished. It's too much of the wrong type of stress that causes pain, illness, heart attacks and disease. By working with your breathing on a daily basis, using essential oils as though they were your best friend and understanding how your human system, including your mind works, your life gains a quality of wellbeing that may have eluded you over your life time.
Not all oils are for all people; there's a certain resonance about an oil that works with you. You will feel comfortable, at ease, satisfied and know that you are working with a unique combination. As you work through your life and life experiences, you will understand that each oil essence is different - oils will fit different situations and conditions.
Over time, your needs and demands will change - an essential oil you once loved, may become redundant; this is not the fault of the oil; you have changed and the conditions you are working with may have changed. There are different oils for different human experiences.
Having said all of the above, it's important to breathe properly - it's the combination of breathing and enjoying essential oils that will make the difference in your life.

Hypothesis for writing this book ~ People can make intelligent decisions about the food they eat once they understand how the manufactured chemistry of the product affects their health.
DEVILS IN OUR FOOD - LET'S CHANGE THIS SITUATION For thousands of years we have grown or collected our food from healthy soil, rivers, and seas. In the Twenty-First Century we are faced with polluted soils from fertilisers and contaminated seas and rivers. Our rivers and seas are polluted from the overuse and discarded plastics and fertiliser run off. Our marine life is under threat and our land environment is changing from global warming. The nutritional value of the food we bought fifty - sixty years ago is no longer in the food we eat today. In many instances, we are paying good, hard-earned money for unhealthy food that will lead to illness in children and possibly premature death in many young people. We are in fact, eating ourselves to death. For change to happen, we each individually need to take action for change to come about. In my book, 'Devils In Our Food, ' I've identified over 300 additives (devils) that are contributing worldwide to health problems in many people, including children. Long-term suffering from many diseases are on the increase and science, in many instances, is pointing to the food we are eating. Many foods, while growing in the fields, are sprayed with different fertilisers that are said to be safe, and years later, through illness, we find they are anything but safe. Once picked or harvested, such as corn, barley and other crops, these foods go through a series of processing where many food additive and preservatives are added. If we look at dough mixes, including bread, a staple food not only eaten in Australia but worldwide, there are over sixty different poisonous additives that are used in different breads and cakes around the world. In this new book on Devil Free Recipes - Recipes Without Additives, I'm introducing you to a new way of cooking and eating delicious food you can make at home. The student is not forgotten, students on budgets can make mouth-watering food at the weekend or during holiday times, store it in the freezer and eat when needed.
This is an exciting novel that can be used by children in so many different ways. Primarily, the book can be read as a fun, exciting book that allows children to think the right way: How much money do they have? How do they spend and save money? When do they use a helmet when cycling and what are the consequences of not using one? Maintaining and looking after things - Will's bike is fixed by a member of the Grigan race from the Planet of Grigan. Family values, rules and ethics. Will learnt such great lessons on the Planet of Zadril; I loved page 161. Lovely ending; makes you want to read the next book.❜ Liz Pennell, Teacher and Mother

Описание:
A 'Must Have' book if you are thinking of investing money in a business or if you are in sales or thinking of going into sales as a career move. The Author covers many areas often missed by conventional education - and writers on the subject. She speaks from the knowledge of having done it, 'been there and experienced the experience.' Because of the lightness in the words spoken, it gives the reader a greater understanding of how the selling process works. The book covers: Crafting the Written Message - A necessary need for all people in business, Advertising, Newsletter Writing, Start-Up Funds and explains the all important Project Task Plan and she explains how many professional organisations miss this vital step. Keeping the story moving are vital case studies turned into light hearted stories - the story of Mary and her exclusive chocolates, Nigel and his bright, red and deliciously tasting tomatoes and how Joe is facing barriers to his project because his market is smaller. This book helps you find your career path in selling or your 'Business Legs' when going into a new venture. Interesting, Must Have, Exceptional and Admirable to have pulled so much vital information into one small and simple book.
