A bordo de veleros en peligrosas travesías, sorteando el Cabo de Hornos atadas al mástil de la embarcación, circunvalando el planeta antes de la apertura del Canal de Suez, padeciendo enfermedades y hambre, pero con el ánimo intacto, las viajeras del pasado nos demuestran que no hay límites cuando lo que uno se propone es viajar. Pilar Tejera, autora de varios libros dedicados a las trotamundos victorianas, desvela nuevas y sorprendentes aventuras en su último libro: Viajeras por los Mares del Sur. En palabras suyas, "Detrás del mito de la Bounty, del Capitán Cook, de Herman Melville o de la paradisiaca experiencia de Gauguin en Tahití, un puñado de aventureras vivieron sus mayores experiencias en las islas del Pacífico Sur hace más de 100 años". Antes de la llegada de los turoperadores y los grandes trasatlánticos. ¿Cómo eran Fiyi, Vanuatu o Samoa, antes de la llegada del turismo de masas?, ¿dónde se alojaban los viajeros?, ¿qué comían?, ¿cómo se movían por estas islas? El libro es un viaje al pasado que resucita los diarios de más de 20 trotamundos, a través de las cuales descubrimos otra forma de viajar, y lugares que fueron en su día paraísos casi inalcanzables para el viajero común. Historias de antropófagos, bailes tribales, playas vírgenes, leyendas y viajes en barcas nativas por los caudalosos ríos de estos archipiélagos desfilan por las páginas del libro llevando de la mano al lector a un mundo ya desaparecido. "Gran parte del encanto de deambular por aquellas montañas era saber que dos años atrás, ¡sin duda nos habrían comido!". Con afirmaciones como esta, de la trotamundos victoriana Constance Cumming, el libro recoge las situaciones que tuvieron que afrontar aquellas viajeras. Fanny Stevenson hace honor como muy pocas al famoso dicho de que "Detrás de un gran hombre hay una gran mujer". Fue quizás la gran viajera, porque como los peces que no pueden dejar de moverse para respirar, coleteó por medio mundo para sentirse viva y dar una esperanza de vida al único hombre que amó. Pionera entre los buscadores de oro, pintora en el París de los impresionistas y aventurera hasta el extremo de irse a los Mares de Sur y formar con los indígenas una comunidad, Fanny intentó ser madre, esposa, amante y pintora. Siguió la estela de su gran amor por medio mundo para buscar los climas más propicios a su tuberculosis, hasta desembarcar en Samoa, la última morada del gran escritor. Beatrice Grimshaw, escritora y viajera de origen irlandés, fue enviada por el Daily Graphic como reportera de las islas del Pacífico, lo que le llevó a visitar destinos tan exóticos como las Islas Cook, Fiyi, Niue, Samoa, Annie Brasse y que circunvaló el planeta a bordo de su propio velero fue una pionera entre las pioneras en Fiji, Constance G. Cumming y la pintora Agnes Gardner King son otras de las damas incluidas en este revelador libro que nos transporta al corazón del océano.

<p> In the center of the novel is the fate of Adjutant Bonaparte Roland de Montrevel, and already in connection with this story we are faced with the image of Napoleon himself. But this does not stop Dumas from paying him much attention in the novel. And if at the beginning of the novel Napoleon appears as a very young general of the period of the Egyptian campaign and subsequent events, then in the finale he already measures the crown after Marengo and his other brilliant victories.</p>

<p> <span>Probably one of the most complicated books ever written, the story parallels Homer’s The Odyssey, and touches on every theme that exists, as well as explores every literary style that exists. At times, it has extremely lude and graphic sexual content and very foul language. Taking Homer’s Odyssey as a structural framework, Joyce builds on it a complex narrative of Dublin characters on one day – Thursday 16 June 1904. Each chapter features a different prose-style to match its theme or subject. One chapter is even written in a manner which traces the history of English prose, from the Renaissance to modern advertising jargon.This includes the famous final chapter which is an unpunctuated eighty page soliloquy of Molly Bloom as she lies in bed at night, thinking over her life and the events of the previous day. Ulysses is a cornerstone of modern English Literature – written by an Irishman in Trieste, Zurich, and Paris.</span></p>

This book presents a fresh approach to bridging the perceived gap between academic and classroom cultures. It describes a unique form of research partnership whereby Cambridge University academics and school teachers together grappled with and reformulated theory – through in-depth case studies analysing practice using interactive whiteboards in five subject areas. The inquiry exploited the collaborators’ complementary professional knowledge bases. Teachers’ voices are particularly audible in co-authored case study chapters. Outcomes included deeper insights into concepts of sociocultural learning theory and classroom dialogue, more analytical mindsets, sustained new practices and ways of working collegially. The book reflects upon the power of lesson video review and details how the co-inquirers negotiated “intermediate theory” – bridging educational theory and specific settings – framed in mutually accessible language and embodied in interactive multimedia resources for teacher development. These include video clips, analytic commentary from multiple perspectives, lesson materials, plus optional prompts for reflection and critique – not models of “best practice”. The resources make pedagogy explicit and vividly illustrate the book’s ideas, offering theory-informed yet practical tools designed with and for practitioners. Hennessy and colleagues have tested a model of ongoing, teacher-led development and innovation, professional dialogue and classroom trialing stimulated by discussing selected multimedia resources. The book will interest academic and teacher researchers, initial teacher educators, professional development leaders, mentors, plus practitioners interested in using interactive whiteboards and dialogic teaching. It explores widening approaches to collegial development to reach educators working in other contexts (with and without technology). This could involve intermediate theory building or shortcutting by sharing and adapting the outcomes – springboarding teachers’ further critique and professional learning. “I cannot recommend this book too highly … it weaves a complex developmental story with a range of facets. It emphasises clearly the rigour of the research that was conducted, while demonstrating the complexity of the inter-relationships, practices and issues for both teachers and researchers in developing practical and theoretical knowledge. Its graphic insights through text and associated media provide exemplars for teachers and those who work with teachers as a rich resource. It shows us all what can be achieved and the means of achieving it.” Prof. Barbara Jaworski, University of Loughborough
