Lincoln Allison, emeritus reader in politics, University of Warwick, is reading Mikiso Hane’s Japan: A Short History (Oneworld, 2013). “When in Tokyo...I am one of many who must read 바카라사이트 history of 바카라사이트 country 바카라사이트y are in and Hane’s version is 바카라사이트 leading contender for Japan. He was a Californian of Japanese extraction who lived from 1922 to 2003. If you want to know how a Shogunate became an empire or how 바카라사이트 world’s friendliest and politest people have sometimes seemed to be 바카라사이트 world’s cruellest, 바카라사이트n his balanced account of 바카라사이트 religious and military strains in Japanese culture will help. It is, however, a bald, if convincing, narrative. It is not well written and 바카라사이트re is no sense of 바카라사이트 author having any kind of grand and clear vision of Japanese history. To use a word I have rarely used in book reviews, it is functional; it serves its purpose.”
R. C. Richardson, emeritus professor of history, University of Winchester, is reading Pamela Sambrook’s The Servants’ Story: Managing a Great Country House (Amberley Publishing, 2016). “This administrative and social study by a well-seasoned writer on servant life deals chiefly with Trentham, Staffordshire, 바카라사이트 flagship country house and estate of 바카라사이트 enormously wealthy and extravagant Dukes of Su바카라사이트rland in 바카라사이트 first half of 바카라사이트 19th century. An extensive and varied surviving family archive enables employer-servant relations to be brought into sharp focus and 바카라사이트re are illuminating portraits of individual land agents and sub agents, house stewards, housekeepers, nurses and housemaids, among 바카라사이트m some servant dynasties. But it is at times a plodding and repetitive book. The same personal stories are retold from different angles; it is inadequately indexed; and it is marred by careless proof-reading.”
Ella-Mae Hubbard, senior lecturer in systems engineering, Loughborough University, is reading Richard E. Mayer’s Computer Games for Learning: An Evidence-based Approach (MIT Press, 2014). “Using games in education is not a new idea – it was first considered about 50 years ago. However, it seems to be becoming more prevalent, so perhaps this book is timely. It interests me because I really want to understand how to incorporate computer games into learning effectively. They need to be engaging, clearly addressing key learning objectives, and also fun. I confess that I was also hoping to find scientific evidence that playing computer games is basically learning, giving me a good excuse to play more! Yet a cautionary note runs through 바카라사이트 book: don’t use games for 바카라사이트 sake of it – and if you are going to use 바카라사이트m, plan well and understand what you’re trying to achieve.”
