.A Dictionary of Stylistics (Studies in Language and Linguistics)
Search: Wales
from: Longman

February 28, 2001
I bought this book as a supplemental reference for the Open University course E301 The Art of English. However I also found it very useful for U211 Exploring the English Language.

It contains plenty of otherwise hard-to-find entries that are well-worded and explained. This dictionary is just the thing if you want a handy and comprehensive reference to key terms and concepts of stylistics.

Expensive, but worth the money.

.50 Walks in Brecon Beacons (50 Walks In...)
Search: Wales
by: Automobile Association

May 31, 2003
This is a really good guidebook for walking in the Brecon Beacons, I've followed quite a lot of the routes and they have been easy to follow and greatly rewarding. The rating system works well and makes it easy to pick an appropriate walk regardless of ability, time constraints or anything else. This could be the perfect book for people who want to get to know the area a bit more by following some well thought out routes before planning their own walks, as by the time you get to the hardest walks you get experience some thrilling moments (especially the final assent up Pen Y Fan from the North ridge in walk 32!) and beautiful wild scenery. The writing is style is warm with the author's fondness for the area really shining through and for ... Read More:

.AQA Law for AS (A Level Law)
Search: Wales
by: Jacqueline Martin

March 28, 2008
This Update, was very much needed, to accomodate for future specifications. Much better than the older version.
Its clear cut, done to the bone!, it also has many cases, which are needed in the exam.

This is a great book however, keep checking the specification for your year, to see if there is anything the book missed out or didnt cover well. Other than that, its a great book to learn from.

.Castles: England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales
Search: Wales
by: Plantagenet Somerset Fry

October 28, 2005
Lovely to own, interesting to read, this book is also useful as the definitive guide to the most impressive historic buildings and sites in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. This is the latest revision of a classic bestselling book.

British and Irish castles are fascinating and romantic places to visit. Whether they're ruins, restored heritage sites or still occupied, they evoke times past, the scenes of historical events that shaped our countries and our people - battles, sieges, executions, negotiations, kidnappings and betrayals. Grim and compelling history written in stone.

The vast majority of the castles were constructed as a result of the Norman invasion and are generally characterised by the motte and bailey. ... Read More:

.Blue Sky July: A True Tale of Love, Light and 'Impossible Odds'
Search: Wales
by: Nia Wyn

October 01, 2007
The story is wonderful and inspiring. My child's difficulties are nothing in comparison but there were still similarities. I could see how the mother got locked into treatments. I can't afford them but would try everything if I could.

The author writes partly in prose partly in poetry and I really enjoyed this although I felt some polishing was still needed. The transition could be a bit clunky and I found myself trying to read the prose to a poetical rhythm which didn't work and I annoyed myself! However, it is a different approach to the masses and worked perfectly for the subject matter.

Go girl!

.Blackstone's Guide to the Mental Health Act (Blackstone's Guide)

January 10, 2008
As a mental health student nurse studying for a BSc (hons) Degree, there are two areas that I continually struggle with day in and day out, the first is medication and the second is the Mental Health Act 1983, can you imagine the confusion when the Amended Mental Health Act 2007 came out. This book has been really good for me as it not only includes the full mental health act but also the amendments from 2007. also, this book includes mental capacity act. Basically, it has everything you need to help you plough through the current legislation in preparation for the 2007 act implementation in October. Details of certain mental act sections are easily located and explained. I did ponder about awarding 4 stars to this publication as a lot of the work tends to ... Read More:

I have this book and Law of Contract by Richards. This book is great to take when I'm travelling on the train, unlike all my other law books it isn't very big and is light. I do find Richards book easier to read but the cases are very clear in this book.

I was taught by Adrian Chandler and he, of course, recommended his book. I bought it as a help for seminar preparation and have to say that this book has been a fantastic help throughout the year, especially when it came to exam preparation. There are so many questions to practice, with an answer provided. I would not have wanted to miss this book.
