He and his best friend Dominika investigate and are transported to a world of trolls, faeries, dragons, and the evil creatures known as The Inkwish. Once there, Martin learns that the creatures of Tantalis are in trouble. His loyalty is torn between Dominika and Queen Fara who recognises Martin as someone Tantalis has been expecting for a long time. He faces threats from Diablo, the leader of the Inkwish, who brings Tantalis, a land that has not seen conflict for aeons, to the point of war, and in the process discovers the truth of dragon flight, previously unknown to Man. He learns that ancient legends on Earth might not simply be stories told through the generations, but in fact a reality that reaches out to demand the utmost of him....and bring him to the brink of death. The Key to Tantalis is a gripping read in the true tradition of the Narnia genre.

Book excerpt: For centuries, philosophers, scientists, and charlatans have attempted to decipher the baffling mysteries of our past, from Stonehenge to the lost continent of Atlantis. Today, however, DNA testing, radiocarbon dating, and other cutting-edge investigative tools, together with a healthy dose of common sense, are guiding us closer to the truth. Now historian Peter James and archaeologist Nick Thorpe tackle these age-old conundrums, presenting the latest information from the scientific community–and the most startling challenges to traditional explanations of mysteries such as: • The rise and fall of the Maya • A lost cache of Dead Sea Scrolls • The curse of Tutankhamun • The devastation of Sodom and Gomorrah • The Nazca Lines and the Vinland Map • The existence of Robin Hood These true mystery stories twist and turn like a good whodunit, as James and Thorpe present the evidence for and against the expert theories, shedding new light on humankind’s age-old struggle to make sense of the past. Ancient Mysteries will entertain and enlighten, delight the curious and inform the serious.

Book Synopsis The University and Public Education by : Harry Judge
Download or read book The University and Public Education written by Harry Judge and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines an important aspect of the relationship between higher education and the public - especially secondary - system of schooling in Britain. Higher education has influenced secondary schools in a number of ways, and not least in the development of school examinations. The contributors to this book – each of them experts in their fields analyse the contributions made by some university luminaries, most of them still household names. These personalities have contributed in a variety of ways such as: becoming Ministers of Education contributing powerfully to successive reform movements using their status as members of that mysterious class called 'the great and the good' to mould public policy and to chair prestigious commissions choosing to centre their own research and scholarship on matters related to schooling. Using Oxford University as its chosen case study, this book places these studies in the wider context of the role of Oxford in public and political life, and in an international context. It examines critically the overall contribution of one university to the formulation of national policies, questions the extent to which that contribution has been unique and beneficent, and offers explanations of the contemporary decline in that influence. This book was previously published as a special issue of the Oxford Review of Education.
