The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.This collection reveals the history of English common law and Empire law in a vastly changing world of British expansion. Dominating the legal field is the Commentaries of the Law of England by Sir William Blackstone, which first appeared in 1765. Reference works such as almanacs and catalogues continue to educate us by revealing the day-to-day workings of society.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Peter the Great through British Eyes

Peter the Great through British Eyes

Anthony Cross

Cambridge University Press
2000
sidottu
Peter the Great's visit to England in the first months of 1698 has been called 'the most picturesque episode in the history of Anglo-Russian relations', and lives on most vividly in popular memory for the devastation caused at Sayes Court, John Evelyn's house and garden in Deptford. Recent celebrations of the tercentenary of that visit have refocused attention on the most famous of Russian tsars, but the story of Britain's love-hate relationship with him over the intervening centuries has never before been told. This study analyses changing British reactions to Peter in an extremely wide variety of printed sources - newspapers and journals, letters and collections of anecdotes, histories and biographies, novels, poems and plays. A final innovative chapter is devoted to images of the tsar as interpreted by British painters from Godfrey Kneller to Daniel Maclise, and by a whole cohort of engravers, illustrating biographies and travel accounts.

Peter’s War

Peter’s War

Anthony Warwick-Ching

TROUBADOR PUBLISHING
2025
nidottu
It’s summer 1944. The Allies are still locked in life and death struggle with the Axis, and few yet talk of peace. But a select contingent from Britain is combining with our American and Russian allies in something very new. Their mission? To build order from the ashes in vanquished enemy countries. Their weapon? The Allied Control Commissions. Unlike the punitive protocols after the Great War, the spirit of these unique instruments of peace is to be co-operative and constructive. The story is told by Peter Ching, a young British Intelligence officer posted to a succession of military governments. His letters are vivid, humorous and frank as he migrates from sunny Algeria to war-wracked Italy, the snowy peaks of the Balkans and a newly-liberated Greece facing civil conflict. His longest posting is Sofia. A highlight of the book is the profound respect he develops for his Red Army comrades. Many have heroic war records but defy daunting reputations and baleful commissars by proving punctilious, competent and very friendly. Fatefully, within months of the Nazi surrender ideological tensions are threatening the fragile partnerships. And a rare moment when British and Russian soldiers could work constructively together in the great cause is passing into history.

Master & Madman: The Surprising Rise and Disastrous Fall of the Hon Anthony Lockwood RN

Master & Madman: The Surprising Rise and Disastrous Fall of the Hon Anthony Lockwood RN

Shortlisted, Democracy 250 Atlantic Book Award for Historical Writing Despite the coming social reforms undertaken at home, the world of the Georgian British Empire was nothing if not class-conscious and leery of outsiders. But Anthony Lockwood, with no known certain record of his parentage and whose first appearance in history is his signing onto the USS Iphigenia in Jamaica in 1795, certainly broke through this mould. His naval record almost exactly spanned the French wars and the War of 1812, and he was commended for bravery in action against the French, was present at the Spithead Mutiny, shipwrecked and imprisoned in France, appointed master attendant of the naval yard in Bridgetown Barbados, and served as an hydrographer in the English Channel and the West Indies before beginning a three-year marine survey of Nova Scotia and the Bay of Fundy. All of this certainly seems eventful enough, but he was just getting started. Despite being an "outsider", Lockwood was able, due to his experience in the Navy, to acquire an appointment as the Surveyor General of New Brunswick and become the right-hand man to Governor George Stracey Smyth. Also appointed as Receiver General, his rise to the top of society seemed all but assured -- despite the "handicap" of his low birth. But was he accepted or only tolerated by the aristocratic high New Brunswick society? On June 1, 1823, after several days of confronting authorities, picking fist fights, and riding from one side of the province to another, Lockwood took to his horse, brandished two pistols, and declared that he was taking over the government. This one-man coup d'etat failed, and he was declared mad. Jailed and later placed under house arrest, it would be November 1825 before he was officially removed from office and went home to England, where he spent much of the rest of his life in and out of asylums. With his own destruction of many of his records as well as the loss of more to a shipwreck and a fire, the story of Anthony Lockwood was a difficult one to research. With an exhaustive bibliography and notes, here, for the first time, is the bizarre, true story of Lockwood's almost unprecedented rise and disastrous fall.

Reassessing the Impact of Teaching Assistants

Reassessing the Impact of Teaching Assistants

2011
sidottu
Over the last decade, teaching assistants (TAs) have become an established part of everyday classroom life. TAs are often used by schools to help low-attaining pupils and those with special educational needs. Yet despite the huge rise in the number of TAs working in UK classrooms, very little is known about their impact on pupils. This key and timely text examines the impact of TAs on pupils’ learning and behaviour, and on teachers and teaching. The authors present the provocative findings from the ground-breaking and seminal Deployment and Impact of Support Staff (DISS) project. This was the largest, most in-depth study ever to be carried out in this field. It critically examined the effect of TA support on the academic progress of 8,200 pupils, made extensive observations of nearly 700 pupils and over 100 TAs, and collected data from over 17,800 questionnaire responses and interviews with over 470 school staff and pupils.This book reveals the extent to which the pupils in most need are let down by current classroom practice. The authors present a robust challenge to the current widespread practices concerning TA preparation, deployment and practice, structured around a conceptually and empirically strong explanatory framework. The authors go on to show how schools need to change if they are to realise the potential of TAs.With serious implications not just for classroom practice, but also whole-school, local authority and government policy, this will be an indispensable text for primary, secondary and special schools, senior management teams, those involved in teacher training and professional development, policy-makers and academics.

Neural Network Learning

Neural Network Learning

Martin Anthony; Peter L. Bartlett

Cambridge University Press
2009
pokkari
This book describes theoretical advances in the study of artificial neural networks. It explores probabilistic models of supervised learning problems, and addresses the key statistical and computational questions. Research on pattern classification with binary-output networks is surveyed, including a discussion of the relevance of the Vapnik–Chervonenkis dimension, and calculating estimates of the dimension for several neural network models. A model of classification by real-output networks is developed, and the usefulness of classification with a 'large margin' is demonstrated. The authors explain the role of scale-sensitive versions of the Vapnik–Chervonenkis dimension in large margin classification, and in real prediction. They also discuss the computational complexity of neural network learning, describing a variety of hardness results, and outlining two efficient constructive learning algorithms. The book is self-contained and is intended to be accessible to researchers and graduate students in computer science, engineering, and mathematics.

The 36 heartfelt and personal accounts about fire management contained in To Burn or Not to Burn reveal not just the differing perspectives on fire management but perhaps more importantly, how Australians interact with the land on a more profound level which may provide a greater understanding on the future role of fire in mainland Australian landscapes."Being a Volunteer was part of the way to help our community." - John Cullen "Hero firefighter, villain prescribed-burner is where it's at." - Neil Burrows "If wrong people burning country at wrong time, then everyone loses." - Otto Campion "It's now time to have our own Australian approach." - Roger UnderwoodIn 2016, Anthony Kerr embarked on a road-trip around the country with his family and decided to interview Australians on how they felt about fire management. Fire has been an integral part of Australian landscapes for thousands of years, but has its role been sufficiently understood?Foreward written by Peter Whitehead
