An intricate mix of beauty, utility, wildness, and domestication: that's the quintessential British garden. From its medieval beginnings as a yard for livestock and vegetables, the cottage garden became a retreat for the gentry of the 17th century, and then took on a new dimension of sophistication--though it never relinquished its original functional roots. Take a tour through rows of medicinal herbs, topiary, woodland, meadow flowers, and even exotic species. A lovely and inspiring tribute to a classic form of planting.

This student book covers Levels 4-7 and is structured to match the sequence of the QCA Scheme of Work Units, and the National Framework for Science Guidelines. Each lesson can commence with a really quick starter activity. The teacher support materials, of course provide hundreds more! "Scientifica" aims to provide just the right proportion of 'reading' versus 'doing'. There is enough text on each page for students to develop their literacy skills, but each lesson spread also contains an optional activity or two to access the real experience of Science. Ideas and Evidence articles are presented in each text in a more magazine style.

As the world approaches a new century, and many people anticipate the great advances of modernity, Cambridge University sits mired in the traditions of the past. Here, the university Proctors still operate as a private police force, aggressively acting to protect the undergraduates in their charge from the women of the town. They make good use of the euphemistically named Spinning House to confine any women they consider likely to corrupt the morals of the university, though the town's infamous house of correction has a brutal reputation, where inmates reputedly die from the cold and lack of care. As a new set of Proctors unleash a wave of terror on the young women of Cambridge, three of them, Rose Whittle, Hope Basset and Aurelia Travers, struggle to make their way in a world dominated by men, while campaigning newspaper, the Mercury, fights for the town to retake charge of the streets, and the right of women to go about their business without fear of arrest and incarceration. In The Spinning House Affair Jane Taylor eloquently brings to life the historic struggle of women in the 19th century, and highlights that the fight of women today is a continuation of the struggles of the past.
