Combined English and Maths is the brain child of a series of observations of students as they struggle with subjects, especially science in schools and colleges due to poor foundations in English and maths. Some learners may know the basics of a particular subject but have difficulty putting things on paper or on a screen and hence cut and paste from internet websites. The truth comes out when they are asked to write a report on an experiment they have carried out themselves; which may not be found anywhere on the internet.Poor language and mathematical skills create a barrier and inhibit the prog-ress of students in many subjects. Instructions for carrying out practical tasks have to be understood. This is impossible without improvement in language skills. Students have to engage in calculations in order to present and con-clude experimental results. This is also impossible without basic mathemati-cal skills.Adult learners especially foreign students express a great deal of distress and lose confidence in learning science especially biology due to poor nu-meracy and literacy skills, though they may have studied the subject to a high level in their home countries. Others have difficulty finding jobs or have no confidence in going to look for work due to poor language skills.This book is aimed at supporting a wide range of individuals with the basic skills in maths and English. It begins with the very basics in both subjects and progresses to somewhat challenging sections. It is written in an interesting manner to engage students and the general public at large.

Or in a small town nearby?Are the disused coalmine, Bell Inn, maternity clinic, pickle factory, and St. Mary's Church pointing you in the right direction?Bus stop protesters are certainly rural, and believable, so the location is likely to be well away from a large town that offers a highly efficient transport service.Names have been changed to conceal identities, though one or two real ones might have slipped through, which would be enough to reveal the place that inspired this remarkable Aber Tidy story.Good luck

Seeing it opens up the world of Astral experiences.Though we go through a form of physical transformation at so called death, our mind, soul and personality do not lose consciousness. We have an eternal soul with certain looks and a personality, an eternal mind with abilities, memories and experiences of many different lives lived through centuries of existence. The exploration of our inner self is not a new phenomena. In the past it has been referred to as 'lifting the veil' or 'searching for the holy grail'. Alchemists have referred to it as the Philosophers Stone and down through the ages religious and mystical texts have also made reference to it.By reading and absorbing the knowledge presented in this book, the reader will achieve an awareness of the Astral Plane pertinent to their own personal journey.

Stimulated by the research resulting in his first book on the Celts (In Search of the Celts) the author follows this dynamic race's progress through the first centuries of the Christian era. Targeting primarily teenagers and young adults seeking basic facts on their Christian inheritance, the author briefly summarizes the early development of Christianity in Western Europe. The book is an assembly of sketches on the main movers and shakers, integrated with the astonishing story of the dedicated Christian priests and supporters - all mainly "Irish" - who spearheaded the miraculous revival of Christianity in Western Europe and the British Isles through the fourth to tenth centuries by reconverting a population who had relapsed back into paganism in the face of the vicious Viking assaults of that period. The amazing story tells how a country considered to be backward and illiterate became to be regarded, almost overnight, as offering all young people (male and female alike) the world's best literary and Christian education available in the whole of Western Europe, a reputation it maintained for some eight centuries until the Benedictine and Carthusian monks assumed the crown in the thirteenth century.This book is testimony to the courage, dedication and self-denial of thousands of Irish Celtic Christian priests and their army of supporters.

This book offers an introduction to the thought of Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951). Wittgenstein's life, in its earlier and later phases, is considered in chapters that interleave the reviews of the philosophy of language Wittgenstein set out in Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921) and Philosophical Investigations (1953). The issues of difference and continuity between these two works is given much consideration. Later chapters consider Wittgenstein's approach to philosophy and to thinking about religion and ethics. Along the way key ideas on philosophy, and relevant lines of argument that contribute to Wittgenstein's intellectual development are explained.For this revised edition, the author has updated and extended the index, cleaned up some errant typos in the manuscript, and made a few refinements to the text.Stephen Loxton worked in the UK for some 40 years in various roles in education until retiring in 2019, and relocating to Lusaka, Zambia, where his wife works for the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa. He continues to read, research and write, and has recently completed a study of Nietzsche and his On the Genealogy of Morals - Nietzsche and the Old Flame, and a study of Charles Taylor's The Ethics of Authenticity is forthcoming.
