What makes clay an important enough medium to warrant an entire book about its use in the educational setting? Clay in the Classroom helps teachers go beyond understanding clay as only a medium for playtime or special occasions. When used in appropriate and well-planned activities, clay can help young children develop cognitive as well as affective skills. Many teachers are searching for ways to balance the emphasis on computers and technology in the classroom. Here, through an inexpensive medium called clay, is one approach which research indicates can meet the emotional, physical and creative needs of young children, and allow them to become better prepared for the cognitive demands of the educational process.

15 March 1939: German troops enter Prague and for Czechoslovakian Jews the terror begins. This is the story of one of the survivors. 'It is difficult to categorise this book. I suppose you could say it is an autobiography and leave it at that, yes; but it is slightly other than that. It is an autobiography with the shape and rhythms of a novel, the orderliness of a novel, the heartbeat of a novel. All the baggage of the novelist is here - love and loss, friendship and betrayal, terror and humour, joy and despair, good and evil, death and survival - but there is no fiction, none of the novelist's attention-seeking tricks, nothing is manipulated as a novelist would manipulate, the pattern is inherent not imposed. Helen Lewis does not speculate, she never invents; there is only Truth, witnessed Truth. She tells her story with awesome integrity and in her hands it becomes more than just her story, it becomes history. 'This book is the testimony of a woman who has survived the unsurvivable. That in itself is a miracle, if you believe in such things; the book is another. It is written with such stylistic grace that it is impossible to believe that English is not the writer's mother tongue. There is wit and candour as well as sorrow, and a good, controlled anger, which never displays itself in censure or rancour... 'Only the dead know the whole truth and some of those witnesses who survived have taken upon themselves the painful task of speaking for them. It is our task to listen and never to forget.'

This volume presents a series of experimental investigations designed to explore the identification and characterisation of ancient arable farming through a feature-based morphology approach, and to assess previous work regarding the ability of soil micromorphological approaches to identify ancient tilled soils on the basis of profile and horizon characteristics. Studying ancient arable land use through soil micromorphology involves identifying remnant indicators of the processes and activities involved in cultivation in thin section. Regarding ancient tillage, there are two major types of indicators which should be examined micromorphologically: profile or horizon characteristics associated with the impact of cultivation on the soil, and the characteristics of macroscopic tillage features themselves. Much primary research has focused on the former, although the latter may prove to be both the least ambiguous, and of the most use in relating microscopic indicators to macroscopic archaeological features. This volume discusses experimental study of both of these aspects, in comparison to archaeological remains, and presents a feature morphology-based approach to the study of ancient arable land use.
