Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hywel Roberts and Debra Kidd's Uncharted Territories: Adventures in learning is a book of prompts, provocations and possibilities designed to nourish creativity and generate ideas that will get teachers and pupils excited about learning. In this time of high-stakes testing, growing mental health issues among young people and increasing pressure on teachers to focus on rote repetition and practice papers, we have to step back and ask: "What is the purpose of education?" If you think it is to get children through tests, then this book is probably not for you. If, however, you think it is to develop wisdom in children - the capacity to think, to apply knowledge, to empathise, to weigh up evidence, to consider consequences and to make informed choices - then this book is most definitely for you. Rooted in practice and grounded in research, Uncharted Territories invites a reassessment of what curriculum coverage can look like and provides an abundance of hooks into exploratory learning that place learners - of whatever age - knee-deep in dilemma, so that they are thinking deeply, analytically and imaginatively. These are not knowledge organisers or schemes of work; rather they are inspirational forays into imagined contexts for learning which, as fantastical as they may appear, always have the real world as their destination. Signposted by story starters and inductive questions - not to mention the beautiful illustrations which are sure to fire children's imaginations - Hywel and Debra's innovative routes to learning will help teachers stray from the beaten track of the curriculum and instil in learners a sense of purpose as they discover, manipulate and apply knowledge and skills across a range of collaborative, cross-curricular problem-solving contexts. Each chapter focuses on a different place - such as a remote castle or a mysterious cave, where the learning will be applied and challenged - and is packed with starting points and "what ifs ...?" to establish rich landscapes for exploration and a wide range of opportunities for discussion and writing. To help map out the territory ahead, Hywel and Debra guide the teacher around the key learning landmarks linked to each context's overarching concepts and lines of inquiry, and point out the many different curriculum areas to which the explorations naturally lend themselves to. The authors go further by offering transferable ideas which can be adjusted to work with whatever age group, as well as a variety of context-based tasks to enable the teacher to explore how elements of, for example, literacy and/or numeracy could be incorporated in order to save curriculum time. While Uncharted Territories is a rallying call to arms for the imagination, in each of its chapters Hywel and Debra also delve into the why in order to present the teacher with a comprehensive debrief of the learning processes and the theoretical and academic underpinning. Furthermore, the authors provide a helpful listing of drama techniques and relevant books and poems that can be incorporated into the learning journeys, as well as useful advice on how to assess and evidence their outcomes. Designed for use with learners of all ages, from early years to secondary.

Book excerpt: Love is like a seed that germinates by chance. When properly nourished, it will be able to overcome all odds and obstacles. Though man has managed to conquer virtually all available frontiers of human endeavor, love has remained elusive. It is unpredictable and remains alone in its own territory, from where it often tends to conquer men instead. Cynthia and Thomas, each an only child, met in secondary school. They fall in love and remain together through to college. They overcome a few intrigues and blackmails from jealous mates, but Thomas was equal to the task as he exposes the blackmailers who wanted to separate them for their own selfish reasons. A bitter separation in college exposed the ugly side of love till they reunite at the end to marry and maybe live happily ever after.

Book excerpt: When one of the last remaining American theatre icons, Academy Award-winning actress Estelle Parsons, asked her journalist daughter, Abbie Britton, to record her professional accomplishments and the development of her acting process, Britton made an inspiring discovery: that here were lessons which anyone could live by. In a fascinating personal investigation between actor and journalist, mother and daughter, Parsons shares her maverick spirit as she moved through uncharted territories in the theatre, and on the road in search of great plays to perform. This is for anyone whose compass may take them off the map into the unknowns of creativity. It is about how to become curious and release fears to craft a successful life. While the narrative provides common-sense and profound lessons, it also chronicle’s the gains and losses of complicated family relationships—encouraging anyone who wants to live courageously. Uncharted Territory: Life Lessons from the Theatre, is a roadmap to a life of fearlessness and truth, and the places we go to discover our deepest sense of belonging, as told by Academy Award-winning actress Estelle Parsons to her journalist daughter, Abbie Britton.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My name is John Crichton. 'I'm lost'. An astronaut. Shot through a wormhole. In some distant part of the universe. 'I'm trying to stay alive'. Aboard this ship. 'This living ship'. Of escaped prisoners." During its fourth and - for the present - final season, "Farscape" was the Sci-Fi Channel's highest rated original series. With its dedicated fan-base, "Farscape" seasons are still top-billing Sci-Fi DVDs. This first proper analysis of the show, written by a scholar-fan, uncovers "Farscape's" layers and those of the living spaceship Moya. Jes Battis proposes that "Farscape" is as much about bodies, sex and gender, as it is about wormholes, space ships and interstellar warfare. It is this straddling of genres that makes the show so viewable to such a broad audience, of which almost half are women. He explores "Farscape's" language and characters, including Moya, its creation of 'family and home', of masculinity and femininity, and the transformation of an all-American boy.
