I ve always wanted to look clever, but at the age of twenty years and three months I have to admit that I look like a person who has never even heard of Jung or Updike. Adrian Mole is an adult.

But living at home, clinging to his threadbare cuddly rabbit Pinky , working as a paper pusher for the DoE and pining for the love of his life, Pandora, has proved to him that adulthood isn t quite what he expected.

The ⠜Scales of Training,⠝ ⠜Training Scale,⠝ and ⠜Training Pyramid⠝ are familiar terms to riders. Around the globe and across disciplines, equestrians hear reference to them or study them as a part of their equestrian education. Dressage rider and trainer Sue Grice grew up with these concepts, too, and like many, found them to be not only fairly boring, but also confusing when it came to actually implementing them as part of daily training. In the course of her work with other riders, she came to realize that although many seemed to know about the Scales of Training in theory, few actually applied them in practice. Grice determined that this was because there was really no clear framework or methodology for implementing the system in a progressive manner.So Grice conceived a new approach based on the standard but with a focus on a better rate of success. Success could be achieved when the rider was engaged with the system and understood how to continually adhere to it, even as advances (or falters) might occur. For over 30 years she has continued to develop and apply her ideas, and now she has finally brought them together to share with the world in this book.Here readers find a detailed plan for applying what Grice calls the ⠜Training Spiral.⠝ She does not try to rewrite what history has shown to work in the development of the riding horse, but instead simply provides a fresh framework that enables riders and trainers to:- Apply the classical elements of the Training Scale in a more progressive and logical manner, and,- Employ them systematically within daily training as well as over a longer period of time.Grice provides clear explanations of how to use each of the six elements (Rhythm, Suppleness, Contact, Impulsion, Straightness, and Collection), how the elements are to be used in order, and what can go wrong if they are applied in the wrong order. Clear examples are given at all levels of training, and detailed case studies demonstrate how the Training Spiral can succeed where traditional systems have failed. The spiral structure provides a means of applying the Scales of Training in practice that is not just logical but also extremely easy to follow. The clarity of Grice s approach also helps horses understand what is being asked of them, leading to a happier relationship between horses and riders, and training that progresses more quickly and easily overall.The Training Spiral is an invaluable and immensely practical guide for trainers and riders at all levels, from novice to advanced.

All the relevant information is here, based on a wealth of knowledge and experience.⠝ TESSupporting Mathematical Development in the Early Years provides practical guidance for parents, teachers and other early years workers who want to give children a good start in mathematical development. Showing how competent children are as mathematicians from an early age, the book offers an overview of young children⠙s mathematical behaviour at home and in early years settings.

This sudden reversal of fortune was a seminal event in the history of the two principal nation-states of western Europe, ending four centuries of the English dynasty⠙s presence in France and separating two countries whose fortunes had once been closely intertwined, creating a new sense of national identity in both. The legacy of these events would influence their divergent fortunes for centuries to come. Behind the clash of arms stood some of the most remarkable personalities of the age: the Duke of Bedford, the English Regent who ruled much of France; Charles VII of France, who patiently rebuilt his kingdom after the disasters of his early years; the captains populating the pages of Shakespeare ⠓ Fastolf, Montagu, Talbot, Dunois and, above all, the extraordinary figure of Joan of Arc who changed the course of the war in a few weeks at the age of seventeen.⠘The Hundred Years War ends in England s agonising defeat ⠓ but triumph for Jonathan Sumption . . .

This contemporary guide for early years practitioners and students delves into the adversity and challenges faced by the EY sector in recent times. It offers hope as it champions the unique knowledge, skills and behaviours of the EY practitioner and how they can exercise individuality in response to the diverse needs of children and their families in today s society. In addition it is fully mapped to the requirements of the new Early Years Lead Practitioner HTQ.In recent years, early years practitioners have faced significant turbulence, including the Covid-19 pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis, climate instability, and the underfunding and closure of childcare provision. These challenges have necessitated a re-evaluation of what it means to flourish as humans, how this can be nurtured in children, and ultimately how to optimise practice in the EY sector. The sector now has a unique opportunity to redefine its vision for children in our society. Structured to inspire, chapters delve into six key themes: the educator and developer of children, the custodian, the planner, the advocate, the collaborator, and the innovator.This book offers a reflective and challenging stance to critically evaluate the intentions that underpin EY policy and practice and how to reimagine practice in these changing times so that it aligns with child-centred values. Content is closely aligned with the new Early Years Lead Practitioner HTQ, positioning it as an essential resource for this qualification. It includes critical questions, reflective exercises, and case studies, enabling readers to directly apply their knowledge to practice and use this text as a comprehensive, one-stop guide.

The stories have been selected not only for their subject but also for their size, the vast majority of them falling under 15 000 words. In other words, this collection s examination of the brevity of one s existence is echoed by the length of the stories themselves.Frances Wilson has selected these twelve stories and provided an original introduction to James s work.

Bullying doesn t just happen on the playground, but over text and DM. Depression and anxiety are drastically on the rise.

Dr. Ziegler masterfully unlocks the enigma surrounding modern puberty and offers evidence-based strategies, interventions and answers to middle childhood s most perplexing questions and concerns. In these pages she provides: - Science-based advice to recognize the first signs of puberty and navigate the changes to come. - Candid and actionable guidance for getting your kids to talk about anxiety, depression and their complicated feelings. - Insight into the changing world of gender and sexual identity, and how to guide your child through this complicated new landscape. - A thoughtful and sensitive discussion of how race intersects with puberty and mental health, and how all parents can approach this mindfully and inclusively. - A clear explanation of the invisible threads linking mood swings, self-image and social media exposure. - Road-tested, real-world guidance to handle bullies, mean girls and other friendship and social challenges. The Crucial Years gives you everything you need to guide your child through the hazards and thrills of puberty and help them emerge as well-rounded, confident young adults.

The first new translation in over a century of the the brilliant epic novel that inspired Les MisérablesFrom July 1842 through October 1843, Parisians rushed to the newspaper each week for the latest installment of Eugène Sue s The Mysteries of Paris, one of France s first serial novels. The suspenseful story of Rodolphe, a magnetic hero of noble heart and shadowy origins, played out over ninety issues, garnering wild popularity and leading many to call it the most widely read novel of the 19th century. Sue s novel created the city mystery genre and inspired a raft of successors, including Les Misérables and The Count of Monte Cristo.The intricate melodrama of The Mysteries of Paris unfolds around a Paris where the fortunes of the rich and the poor are helplessly tangled, despite the vast gulf between them. In the Cité, a seedy neighborhood where criminals gather, Rodolphe encounters a young prostitute of breathtaking purity who goes by the name Songbird. He saves her from an attack by a ruffian called the Slasher, setting off the dominoes of an epic narrative traversing the ranks of French society. As Rodolphe pursues his own mysterious quest for redemption, a circle of characters from all walks of life forms around him-some following his every move and others gravitating to his boundless generosity. From the nefarious pairing of the Schoolmaster and the Owl, a hardened criminal and an unfathomably cruel street merchant, to Morel, a gem-cutter so virtuous he refuses to steal even the smallest ruby to feed his starving family, the lines between good and evil in Sue s Paris are always clear, but never unyielding. Though the immense literary and historical resonance of Sue s magnum opus has been for years overshadowed by Hugo s achievement, this stunning new translation is a revelation, promising to bring the unmitigated pleasures of Sue s cliffhangers and criminals to a new century of readers. Sensational, steamy, tightly-plotted, pulpy, proto-socialist, heartbreaking, and riveting, The Mysteries of Paris is doubtless one of the most entertaining and influential works to emerge from the 19th century.

An illustrated overview of the Hundred Years War, the longest-running and the most significant conflict in western Europe in the later Middle Ages. There can be no doubt that military conflict between France and England dominated European history in the 14th and 15th centuries. The Hundred Years War is of considerable interest both because of its duration and the number of theatres in which it was fought. Drawing on the latest research for this new edition, Hundred Years War expert Professor Anne Curry examines how the war can reveal much about the changing nature of warfare: the rise of infantry and the demise of the knight; the impact of increased use of gunpowder and the effect of the war on generations of people. Updated and revised for the new edition, with full-colour maps and 50 new images, this illustrated introduction provides an important reference resource for the academic or student reader as well as those with a general interest in late medieval warfare.
