When one goes into print, one gives everybody the right t say what they think about it.
Some of them will be arseholes.
I used to stick negative reiews on my wall as a motivator to make the next book perfect.

Call it something else - 'cost-saving', 'energy security', 'future-proofing', 'public safety', 'flood protection', 'drought preparation', 'weather-proofing'.
Just don't mention the words: 'clean', 'green, 'warming' or 'climate'.
The NEED is still there, it's just the presentation needs to adjust.

In your exam you are going to get a question which asks you to comment on changes in an aspect of medicine over time, or at least a question which asks you to compare the medicine of two different eras.

Another offering
SIGNIFICANCE OF VESALIUS
www.johndclare.net/Medicine_2.3...

Give Β½ the class only the Pros, Β½ only Cons; tell them to form a view of Vesalius.
Then rearrange into mixed groups of 4 (2 Pros, 2 Cons) & tell them to debate to a consensus.

Good. It will allow the female students, should they wish, to enter into the full range of play, without the need to 'act like young ladies'.
Apologies if this response offends, or appears old-fashioned; it accepts the reality of school life.

The Theory of the Four Humours grew out of the Greeks attempts to explain the world: four elements, four seasons = four bodily fluids (the 'humours') all sharing the same qualities – hot or cold, wet or dry.

Anybody who thinks of the USA as the 'chickens' does not understand the terms of trade; America/Americans are the fox.

Wish they were but, unfortunately, I fear they are not. Plenty warmongers and sycophants here, sadly.

Correct; you beat me to it. I symoathise with the sentiment, but the allusion is erroneous.

Hats off to the Cabal of Clifford, Arlington, Buckingham, Ashley and Lauderdale – they are surely the most mnemonically obliging group of people in English politics ever.

HISTORIOGRAPHY OF THE CAUSES OF THE KOREAN WAR

Neither have they any ethics.

One failing publisher cancelled my contract - after I submitted it - on the ground he spotted plagiarism (absolutely not true) ... and then published my manuscript barely-altered under his own name.

They win because we cannot afford to sue.

He still went bankrupt.

A Vietnamese interpretation of the Vietnam War

ĐẀU TRANH
Given that the historiography of the Vietnam War is so often Western-oriented, this is my attempt to write an alternative summary history, which looks at events wholly and exclusively from the North Vietnamese perspective:
