How much is scientifically known about lecturing? Is the lecture method any use? What makes a lecture effective? Now in its sixth edition, this has been the standard text on lecturing technique for the thirty years following its first publication in 1971. The chapters have all been fully updated and extended to incorporate new issues facing education in the twenty-first century. The book: - details factors affecting the learning of information, - considers the techniques of lecturing (including organisation), - shows how to make specific points, use handouts, and obtain feedback, - discusses virtual teaching techniques for distance learning, - offers alternative approaches when lecturing is not appropriate. Using scientifially-controlled findings, this book confronts the accepted wisdo, to suggest that the lecture method can convey information; but it cannot be used effectively on its own to promote thought or to change and develop attitudes. Research also suggests that there are consistent differences in the effectiveness of individual lecturers. With such crucial information for lecturers and professional trainers at all levels of experience, this book will arouse great interest

Henry IV's conversion to catholicism in 1593 and Papal absolution in 1595 were traversed by multiple problems and difficulties. These religious events were inseparable from concurrent political, diplomatic and military issues. The subject is therefore examined both within its civil war background and the wider, European context. This treatment is original, not least in its comprehensive coverage of the Papal dimension. Until now, the role of the Papacy has been consistently misinterpreted, while the manner in which the absolution was ultimately achieved has been known only through sketchy and misleading summaries. Volume I covers the period 1572-1589, ending with the murder of Henry III. This act of regicide precipitated the accession of Henry IV during a period of civil war. Volume II covers the remaining years 1589-1596, from Henry's accession to his abjuration and coronation, the end of the war with the Catholic League, the declaration of war with Spain in 1595 and, finally, the negotiation in Rome of his absolution. This fresh account of certain aspects of the life and career of Henry of Navarre makes a substantial contribution to the knowledge and understanding of the history of western Europe in the later sixteenth century, and of France in particular. It will be useful to scholars, research students and teachers, and may also be enjoyed by informed general readers.

The paddle steamer holds a unique place in the history of maritime engineering. When the engineers of the early 19th century experimented with steamboats they chose the paddle wheel as the form of propulsion. Within 20 years the paddle steamers were at work on inland waters and short sea passages. The first ocean-going steamships were paddlers. They were the link between sail and screw, a role they performed for nearly 60 years. But in shallow waters they prevailed for over 150 years. Plying between the seaside piers and along the major rivers they were as familiar to holidaymakers as Punch and Judy shows and donkey rides. The deep-sea sailors called them "Butterfy boats", but they were by no means as frail as the name suggested. In the two world wars they served alongside the warships of the Royal Navy and had their finest hour during the Dunkirk evacuation. They were graceful, elegant ships, but in the jet-age too slow and uneconomical. In the 1950s they went to the breaker's yards in droves, and now there are only a few left. This text tells the story of the paddle steamers, and of the men who built, owned and sailed them.
