Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rumors has it that 'E.V. Odle' was a pen name for Virginia Woolf. However this is not true. (1890-1942) UK editor and author; in the former capacity he was the first editor 1926-circa1935 of the British Argosy Magazine (see The Argosy). As younger brother of the UK illustrator and artist Alan Odle (1888-1948), who was the husband of Dorothy M Richardson (1873-1957), Odle came into close contact with J D Beresford, who had been instrumental in publishing the first volume of Richardson's Pilgrimage in 1915. Odle's Scientific Romance, The Clockwork Man (1923), clearly shows the influence of Beresford, an author central to that form, and may also have been published with his help. In this graceful tale, a Cyborg - in this case a man into whose body a clock-like monitor-cum-Time Machine has been inserted - comes accidentally back through time from 8000 CE to the present (see Time Travel), where in his Mysterious Stranger role he plays cricket and disturbs his auditors by describing a world in which life regulated by Machines is accepted by most, though not all. God, it is hoped, has been taking note of the new, 'improved' version of humanity. All the more moving for its air of calm, The Clockwork Man is a plea to the human beings of the twentieth-century world that they not continue losing the battle against the machine. Other work by Odle includes the short fantasy 'The Curse upon Isaac Knockabout' (April 1923 Gaiety), featuring a magic ring, a curse-bestowing genie and two somewhat stereotyped Jewish tailors. The suggestion that 'E V Odle' was a pseudonym used by Virginia Woolf to write sf is an elaborate spoof. [JC].

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this short book Dewey shows what pragmatist learning theory means for epistemology (what it means to think well) and for pedagogy (the study of teaching and learning). The starting point is a mind already active, curious and interested in what's going on around it, that, given the chance, will figure out how to read its environment for conditions likely to improve its qualitative experience. Learning what things mean in a way that enables you to make a difference you care about is the only kind of learning worth the effort. (Maughn Gregory).

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A delightful travelogue that is really about religion and history and the meaning of life. He was only about 32 when he made the pilgrimage to Rome. He broke most of the vows he took before he embarked on this exploration of his soul. Belloc is at his snarky best here. One can see the determined, almost ruthless polemicist that he was to become. His literary skills are first class and his humor is unforced and springs from deep within his being. It is truly a wonderful excursion into life with a most literate and compassionate companion. (Matthew Dambro).

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Total genius. A depth of characterisation and atmosphere worthy of Dickens. Morrison depicts the picaresque life of the East End of London at the turn of the 20th century with humanity and humour. While it is a mystery story, following loosely in the genre of Morrison's earlier Martin Hewitt detective stories, its power lies in its exquisitely restrained writing. Why is Morrison not taught at universities, alongside Conrad (John Yeoman).
