John Grote, Cambridge University and the Development of Victorian Thought
￥333.44
John Grote struggled to construct an intelligible account of philosophy at a time when radical change and sectarian conflict made understanding and clarity a rarity. This book answers three questions:* How did John Grote develop and contribute to modern Cambridge and British philosophy?* What is the significance of these contributions to modern philosophy in general and British Idealism and language philosophy in particular?* How were his ideas and his idealism incorporated into the modern philosophical tradition?Grote influenced his contemporaries, such as his students Henry Sidgwick and John Venn, in both style and content; he forged a brilliantly original philosophy of knowledge, ethics, politics and language, from a synthesis of the major British and European philosophies of his day; his social and political theory provide the origins of the 'new liberal' ideas later to reach their zenith in the writings of Green, Sidgwick, and Collingwood; he founded the 'Cambridge style' associated with Moore, Russell, Broad, McTaggart and Wittgenstein; and he was also a major influence on Oakeshott.
Britain's Television Queen
￥39.14
Focusing purely on Queen Elizabeth II's relationship with television, this book shows how she was ahead of the game in helping to change the face of British television from the outset of her reign in 1953 when she let the cameras into Westminster Abbey. The Queen embraced television at a time when Winston Churchill and her government advisors recommended that she should keep them out - on the grounds that the cameras would destroy her royal mystique - right through the 1950s which was Britain s television decade (for reasons that are not generally understood today), when Britain became the first nation in the world to have public service television. In 1969 the Queen opened the doors to the cameras once again for the invention of Britains first family-reality-TV, fly-on-the-wall programme, showing how she and her husband the Duke of Edinburgh and their children, Charles and Anne, went about their daily lives, thereby giving the seal of royal approval to reality-TV, ahead of the first programmes in the United States and the UK that followed in her wake. Queen Elizabeth II can accurately be described as a television queen, the first monarch to understand and embrace television and, in particular reality-TV, which is why she was light years ahead of other royals and her government ministers. Television was for her a right of passage and, not until she ran into bad and stormy weather with Princess Diana in the 1980s and 1990s, did she have any image problems with television. These problems no longer remain today, evidently, as once again the television arrangements are in full swing for her Diamond Jubilee celebrations this June. Queen Elizabeth II remains the most televised and visualised person in the world.

￥19.52

Greetings Noble Sir
￥39.14
Nigel Flaxton enjoyed a satisfying career in education covering the second half of the 20th century, This is an account of some of his experiences from old-fashioned monastic seclusion in training college just after the Second World War to three headships of new schools, the last being an upper school of over 900 students. Written with gentle humour, often at his own expense, he also comments on the very considerable changes in education in a broad sense during that period. He includes nearly two years in the RAF, to which he was frustratingly called up shortly after he qualified and his unprecedented promotion to Sergeant after one year. .Following what he expected was retirement he continued with government initiatives encouraging greater use of modern technology in schools, then further part-time support to schools using timetable software. This is not just a book for professionals. It will be of interest to anyone who enjoys reading other people's personal memoirs, especially someone with an obvious sense of humour.
Jill's Leading Ladies
￥48.95
When Jill Allen-King OBE, suddenly lost her sight at the age of 24, with little help and advice available from Social Services she had to teach herself to cope with a whole new way of living that had its own set of challenges to overcome, including looking after her daughter, Jacqueline, born soon afterwards. It wasn't until seven years later that Jill successfully completed a training course with her first guide dog and finally, after years of being virtually housebound, was able to begin rebuilding her confidence and reclaiming her independence.Drawing on her own experiences of the problems and dangers that face the blind and partially sighted, as well as those with other mobility difficulties and disabilities, Jill has devoted her life to raising awareness of the needs and rights of the disabled, particularly in regard to access to public buildings, and campaigning for these issues to be considered by householders, businesses, councils and the government. None of this would have been possible without her six guide dogs over the past 40 years: Topsy, Bunty, Brandy, Quella, Lady and her current dog, Amanda.This book, following close on the heels of Jill's autobiography, Just Jill, is a heartfelt tribute to her trusted four-legged friends, who have given her companionship, instilled her with confidence and guided her safely in both her personal life and in her incredibly important voluntary work throughout the UK. No one can fail to be inspired by Jill's perseverance and achievements or by the fantastic work that guide dogs carry out for their owners. Although now in her seventies, with new challenges for those with disabilities always on the horizon, such as electric cars, shared streets and changes to the benefits system, Jill's contributions to the fight neither cease nor cease to amaze.

Respect and Reputation
￥73.48
In this increasingly violent and troubled world, people demand to be respected. But what is exactly is respect? Is it learned or earned? How do you go from being a 'nobody' to a 'somebody'? How do you respect others and equally how can you get other people to respect you? Can you only be truly respected if you have a reputation? There is probably no one more qualified to talk about respect and reputation in prison than Charles Bronson. Tagged one of the most violent prisoners in the UK, Charlie has spent over thirty years in solitary confinement, is respected by both prisoners and wardens alike and has a fearsome and frightening reputation. In complete contrast, although he has spent much of his life surrounded by violence, former bouncer and bodyguard Robin Barratt would now prefer to take a passive path away from any conflict. In this fascinating book, Barratt and Bronson examine in detail respect and reputation including how to behave in prison, how to treat other prisoners, how to be a great door supervisor, when to show respect, how to gain the respect of others and ultimately how to develop an awesome reputation both in prison, on the doors and in life generally. With lots of real life anecdotes as well as contributions from many other hard men (and a few women), this gripping book takes its reader into the psychology of a world rarely explored.
Just Jill
￥73.48
Just Jill is an inspirational and moving account of one woman's triumph over adversity and how she used her own experience of disability to benefit others.When she was growing up during the 1940s very few people were aware that Jill Allen-King had lost one eye as the result of measles when she was a baby. Her disability was a taboo subject and she attended a normal school, progressed to catering college and secured employment as a cook. However, tragedy struck for the second time when glaucoma rendered her completely blind at the age of 24 on what should have been one of the happiest occasions of her life - her wedding day.For the next seven years Jill barely left the house, too scared to go outside unaccompanied and afraid that she would never again be able to participate in the activities she loved, such as dancing. The birth of her daughter, Jacqueline, gave her renewed purpose but could not give her back the thing she desperately needed - her independence. It was only when Jill got her first guide dog that she began to rediscover the world outside her front door and take those first giant steps towards regaining her confidence and freedom. Jill's autobiography charts her journey from partially sighted child to totally blind adult and beyond, a process of readjusting and learning through grit and determination and then using her knowledge and experience to do everything in her power to help others and to campaign for reforms to secure a safer, fairer and more disability-aware environment. It is a story that will provide encouragement to those that are struggling to cope with disabilities and also educate people from all spheres of life about the challenges and needs of disabled people. At the age of 70, Jill continues to fight for the cause, and hopefully her story will inspire others to take up the baton.

First Class Phonics - The Complete Course
￥245.15
First Class Phonics is a series of books designed to help children quickly become proficient readers and writers by using Synthetic Phonics, a high-quality teaching method recognised all over the world. In Synthetic Phonics, children focus on the skills that enable them to read and spell words accurately. It is essential that children develop the ability to hear, identify and manipulate individual sounds in order to read fluently.The eight books in the series provide a complete reading programme in which children are taught to recognise the importance of every sound they hear in the spoken word and learn to blend these sounds so that they can read words from the very beginning of the program.Children progress from blending simple single sounds in Book One to using digraphs (two letter sounds) and trigraphs (three letter sounds) in later books. In the earlier books children are taught one letter or letter group for each sound but are gradually introduced to different groups of letters that make the same sound as well as the different sounds that can be made from an identical group of letters.Children are also taught words that they cannot initially 'sound out' as 'tricky words' that are learnt by sight. As children learn the different sounds that a group of letters can make these words cease to be 'tricky words'.With lots of fun activities to reinforce learning in each book and a complete story in which children practice the skills they have learnt children quickly become fluent readers with a love for books.

Ez Jay Dobyns története, azé a szövetségi ügynöké, aki els?ként férk?zött be a törvényen kívüli Hells Angels Motorcycle Club legbels?bb köreibe. A 21 hónapon át tartó akció kis híján az életébe került, és majdnem ráment a családja és az ép esze is. Kezd? ügynökként mellbe l?tték, úgy vásárolta a gépfegyvereket, mint más a tejet, 160 km/órás sebességgel száguldozott az autópályán, illetve részt vett a Hells Angels és halálos ellensége, a Mongols klub között kitört háborúban. Ez csak pár olyan esemény, amit Dobyns felidéz ebben a lélegzetelállító, els? olvasatra hihetetlennek t?n?, de az els?t?l az utolsó szóig igaz történetben. Dobyns nem titkolja el szívszorító kalandjának egyetlen részletét sem. A motorostalálkozókon és a klubházakban rendezett bulikon, a közös motorozások és verekedések alatt összebarátkozik k?kemény motorosokkal, a metamfetamintól hajtott n?ikkel, fegyvermániásokkal, pszichopata sittesekkel, és még a Mocskos Pár nev? elitklub tagjaival is, akik a Hells Angels nevében különösen kegyetlen, er?szakos b?ncselekményeket követtek el. Az er?sen ?rzött bulikon olyan legendás Hells Angels-tagokkal találkozik, mint Chuck Zito, Johnny Angel vagy a motorosklubok keresztapája, Ralph „Sonny" Barger. A beilleszkedéshez mindkét karját teletetováltatja, hogy a tiszteletüket kivívja, megfogadja, hogy bebizonyítja: k?kemény gyilkos. A legnehezebb azonban a rákényszerített kett?s élet: h?séges felesége és szeret? gyermekei, valamint a motoros lét között ?rl?dik. Megfogadja, hogy ? lesz az els? olyan szövetségi ügynök, akit a Hells Angels teljes jogú tagjának választanak, és beférk?zik a klub áthatolhatatlannak hitt legbels?bb köreibe. Ezért nagy árat kénytelen fizetni: a cél érdekében olyan mélyre alámerül ebbe a veszélyes világba, hogy kis híján elveszti önmagát, de kénytelen rádöbbenni, hogy miközben ? beépült a klubba, az is beépült az ? életébe, és amennyire a Hells Angels tagjai sem csak kifejezetten rosszak, ? sem csak jó. A Donnie Brasco maffiába való beépülésére emlékeztet? története mindenki szemét felnyitja a motorosbandák zárt, titokzatos világára. Ilyen messzire Hunter S. Thompson korszakalkotó munkája óta nem jutott senki a Hells Angelsszel. A könyvb?l mindent megtudunk arról a leny?göz?en veszélyes, de egyben vonzó bajtársiasságról, a nihilizmusról, a gy?löletr?l és megfélemlítésr?l, valamint a tagok között valóban létez? testvéri szeretetr?l, ami az egyetlen, t?sgyökeres amerikai b?nszövetkezetet jelképezi.

Nem voltam én szerelmes Adyba, vagy ha voltam, nem tudtam róla. A szerelem féltékeny, ragadozó, osztozni senkivel és semmiben nem tudó érzés, telítve testi vonatkozásokkal, ingerekkel, vágyakkal. ?n ezt a szerelmet nem is ismerhettem. Sohasem fájt, hogy idegen asszonyok szeretik, lányok szédülnek eléje, találkákra megy, vagy áldozó, nagy asszony-szerelmet terítenek lába elé. Deésfalvi Boncza Berta. Bimbi. Csinszka. Múzsa és k?lt?n?, emlékiratíró... Ady Endre, Tabéry Géza, Babits Mihály, Harsányi Zsolt, Márffy ?d?n jegyességek, szerelmek, szakítások, házasságok. Vallomás és kitárulkozás. Kiútkeresés egy nevel?intézet szobájából vagy fiatalon már a végzet asszonya? Románc a Svájcban tartozkodó Tabéryvel, kés?bb találkozás Adyval, de eljegyzés egy erdélyi mérn?k-íróval? Aztán házasság Adyval? Aki Léda szerint csak sovány, mint eserny?nyél, el?l-hátul sexuális duzzanatokkal. Ki is ez a h?lgy, aki végül eléri, hogy 1914. április 23-án találkozhasson Adyval Csucsán? Boncza Berta naplójának néhány részlete el?sz?r 1932-ben jelent meg a Nagyváradi Napló hasábjain, majd négy évtizeddel kés?bb a Magyar Nemzetben látott napvilágot az erdélyi író, újságíró Ruffy Péter tolmácsolásában, aki Csinszka kéziratos füzeteit és Kárpáti Aurél kiegészítéseit dolgozta fel. A memoár nem hiánytalan, hiszen a házasság t?rténetét már nem tudta megírni Csinszka, csupán az Ady halála után írt három Vallomás készült el 1919 és 1922 k?z?tt. A huszonkét fejezetre osztott írás el?sz?r jelenik meg ?nálló k?tetben, Márton István, a Ruffy Péter-hagyaték gondozójának utószavával, valamint néhány kül?nleges gépiratfotó, levél és dokumentum kíséretében, melyek fényt deríthetnek eddig nem vagy kevésbé ismert rejtélyre: mi lett az ?rmindszenten maradt Csinszka-levelekkel? A mendemondák szerint Ady rokonai elégették... Valóban agyvérzésben hunyt el a k?lt?n?, vagy más áll a háttérben? A mendemondák újabb szerelemr?l regéltek... Hova lettek a kiadatlan versek, amelyek nem kerültek be az egyetlen versesk?tetbe 1931-ben? Minden reggel és minden este imádkozott Nagymama velem. Eldolgozott két keze k?zé fogta az én parányi kezemet, és azt a másik imát, amit este a Miatyánk után mondottam el, ? találta ki. R?vid, egyszer? és jó kis ima volt. Kérésb?l és k?sz?netb?l állott. Mindazokért kértem a jó Istent, akik hozzám tartoztak. Apámért els?sorban, de a csucsai virágok, kutyák, madarak is bele lettek sz?ve...

Az egész életét a férje k?ré építette fel, és csak a válás után szembesül azzal, hogy amíg ? az aranykalitkában üld?gélt, a világ k?rül?tte teljesen megváltozott. A férje a cégein keresztül minden pénzüket kimentette a k?z?sb?l, a lánya Londonba k?lt?zik, Nóra teljesen magára marad. Nem kap munkát, és a férfiak is úgy néznek át rajta, mint az ablaküvegen. Igazságtalan harc megvívására kényszerül az id? ellen, hiszen kultúránkban az évek múlásához leértékel?dés társul. Az ?regedéssel együtt járó elmagányosodás pedig – akár a nátha vagy az influenza – az élet természetes velejárójaként van jelen az életünkben. A t?rténtek után azonnal új társat kezd keresni, társkeres? oldalon regisztrál, ezáltal megalázó helyzetek sokaságának kitéve magát, melyeket a fiatal n?kre vadászó, macsó férfiaktól kell elszenvednie. Talajvesztett és elkeseredett, úgy érzi, minden és mindenki azt sugallja, t?r?dj?n bele, hogy vége, és kezdje el a visszaszámlálást. Mígnem egy reggel arra ébred, hogy…Nóra t?rténetéhez hasonlóak nap mint nap százával keresztezik utunkat, ám az ?vé azért lehet iránymutató, mert felismeri: az életkor nem az élet egyre meredekebb és egyre síkosabb lejt?je, hanem akár a felemelkedés természetes folyamata is lehet. Csupán d?ntés kérdése, melyik irány érvényesül.
