The National CV of Britain is a unique forward-looking history that has the Influential Islanders ‘Applying for the future’.

Download or read book Being British written by Peter Whittle and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-06 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics look set to make 2012 as successful as the royal weddings of 2011 when it comes to creating a surge of patriotism across our once self-assured land. But despite the latest wave of nostalgic British pride, Britain is in the midst of an identity crisis, with British values and identity the butt of scorn and sneers. Motivated by the sense that the notion of Britishness has been hijacked, and intrigued by the ever-vexed question of British identity and what it really means, Peter Whittle has set out to examine what's actually wrong with being British. With his trademark wit and insight, Whittle explores how, despite being chipped away at from all sides for the past five decades, pride in being British has shown an amazing ability to survive.
Download or read book The History of Geoconservation written by Cynthia V. Burek and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2008 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to describe the history of geoconservation. It draws on experience from the UK, Europe and further afield, to explore topics including: what is geoconservation; where, when and how did it start; who was responsible; and how has it differed across the world? Geological and geomorphological features, processes, sites and specimens, provide a resource of immense scientific and educational importance. They also form the foundation for the varied and spectacular landscapes that help define national and local identity as well as many of the great tourism destinations. Mankind's activities, including contributing to enhanced climate change, pose many threats to this resource: the importance of safeguarding and managing it for future generations is now widely accepted as part of sustainable development. Geoconservation is an established and growing activity across the world, with more participants and a greater profile than ever before. This volume highlights a history of challenges, set-backs, successes and visionary individuals and provides a sound basis for taking geoconservation into the future.

Book excerpt: ""All the relations and uprisings of the ancient Jews in their contacts with the Romans can only be properly resolved and understood, I contend, when the entire sphere of activity is transferred to ancient Britain."" This long lost final book by the renowned catastrophist author William Comyns Beaumont, uncle of Daphne Du Maurier, is the fourth in his series on the revised history and geography of Britain and the world, exposing the centuries-long conspiracy initiated by Emperor Constantine the Great at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. The plan, to move the historical and religious sites of Britain to their now-familiar locations in the middle east, was intended as a short-term fix, to strengthen the Roman Empire, but the whole world still suffers the consequences today. .".".the belief persists that Israel is the ancient home of the Jewish people, and the ancient conflict carries on there, by proxy...

Download or read book International Perspectives on Academic Assessment written by Thomas Oakland and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1995-06-30 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goals and content for this book are derived from three important and ongoing efforts: to advance the institution of education and to promote educational opportunities to children and youth worldwide, to promote effective assessment policies and practices that enhance sound educational practice, and to address the need to develop tests and other assessment practices in less developed countries as well as to augment and alter a number of traditional assessment practices in developed nations. These three issues provided the focus for a four-day conference that was held at St. Hugh's College, Oxford University, in June 1993. The conference theme-Test Use with Children and Youth: International Pathways to Progress-underscores the importance of addressing testing issues as efforts to improve educational opportunities for children and youth move forward. Leaders from more than seventy nations met at the United Nations sponsored World Summit for Children in 1990 to support ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Worldwide recognition that every individual has the right to develop her or his potential led to the ratification of provisions setting minimum standards for children's education.
