Paperback. Condition: New. Lancelot is the central romance of the Vulgate Cycle, in which the chivalric elements in Arthur's court come to the fore. These chivalric elements contain the seeds of Arthur's destruction and the dissolution of the Round Table, as Lancelot's love for Guinevere undermines his bond to Arthur; the tension between love, prowess and loyalty is the undercurrent of the long romance which describes the exploits which he performs in her service. It also includes many stories which are chivalric adventures largely unrelated to the main theme, and uses the device of interweaving these stories to form a huge stream of narrative. This series of episodic pictures leads ultimately to the birth of Lancelot's son Galahad, who is destined to become the hero of the Grail. Parts one and two of Lancelot cover Lancelot's boyhood and his admission to Arthur's court, where he falls immediately in love with Guinevere. The adventures and quests which follow take us to the point where he becomes a companion of the Round Table. For a full description of the Vulgate Cycle see the blurb for the complete set.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book seeks to revolutionise the teaching of arithmetic in the early years of schooling. The author contends that educators have failed to capitalise on recent scientific advances in understanding how children learn and develop, and that this has stifled mathematical progress at primary level. Informed by psychological and statistical research, the book presents conclusive evidence against current practice of teaching arithmetic in the morning when children are least receptive to this type of learning. Describing the benefits of teaching arithmetic later in the day, the author challenges pedagogic practice and methodology and offers in-depth demonstrations of alternative, research-based approaches, and practical guidance for teachers on how to implement these for best effect. Analysing the first stages of mathematical development, the author shows that a radical change in our teaching of arithmetic is not only possible but essential for the full mathematical development of all children. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
