The origins of our Royal Family can be traced back to the reign of George IIl in the 18th century, although it was not until 1917 that anti-German feeling led George V to discard the historic name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and adopt the family name of 'Windsor', applying it to the title of the Royal House. During the last quarter of a century, the media, and it might be said the public's fascination with the Royals has grown to unprecedented levels and, for the most part, remains undiminished. The House of Windsor has had to adapt to increasing press and public scrutiny during this time, and accept that the days of unquestioning reverence have passed. The Royal Family remains deeply enshrined as an institution, providing a sense of enduring stability and order, and its contributions to our cultural and social history through charity work and official Royal engagements is undeniable. This book is a 'right royal' celebration of a truly remarkable family - a story told in pictures taken from the ar

With an Introduction by Mishtooni Bose More's Utopia is a complex, innovative and penetrating contribution to political thought, cuhninating in the famous 'de*ion' of the Utopians, who live according to the principles of natural law, but are receptive to Christian teachings, who hold all possessions in common,and view golcl as worthless. Drawing on the ideas of Plato,St Augustine and Aristotle, Utopia was to prove seminal in its turn, giving rise to the genres of utopian and dystopian prose fiction whose practitioners include Sir Francis Bacon,H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley and George Orwell. At once a critique of the social consequences of greed and a meditation on the personal cost of entering public service,Utopia dramatises the difficulty of balancing the competing claims of idealism and pragmatism, and continues to invite its readers to become participants in a compelling debate concerning the best state of a commonwealth.

Gr 9 Up-To read this title is to alter forever mythical perceptions of Viking heroes. The clearly written text avoids romanticizing, yet presents an engrossing, if not glamorous, picture of the Viking era. Hence, while readers may be impressed by the artistic skill, bravery, and determination of Norsemen adventurers, they also see their undeniable brutality. The volume presents not just facts, but riveting accounts of scientific discoveries and historic breakthroughs that have led to the determination of these facts. Thus, the painstaking work of salvaging ships and excavating burial mounds is clearly detailed, and full explanations are given when conclusions can be drawn from discoveries. Text and excellent-quality photographs display how a 10th-century skull, combined with 20th-century laser and computer technology, can bring us face to face with the eerie likeness of a man dead a thousand years. A heavily noted timeline, an extensive bibliography, and a full index add to the overall appeal.-Anita Palladino
