Although in its infancy, the history of women in Wales and Scotland before and during the Reformation is now thriving. A longer tradition of historical studies has shed light on many areas of women's experience in England. Drawing on this historiography, Christine Peters examines the significance of contrasting social, economic and religious conditions in shaping the lives of women in Britain.
Gender assumptions were broadly similar in England, Wales and Scotland, but female experience varied widely. Women in Early Modern Britain, 1450-1640 explores how this was influenced by various factors, including changes in clanship and inheritance, the employment of single women, the punishment of pregnant brides and scolds, the introduction of Protestantism, and the fusion of fairy beliefs with ideas of demonological witchcraft.
Peters' text is the first comparative survey and analysis of the diversity of women's lives in Britain during the early modern period.

Physics Now! 11-14 is one of three Pupil's Books that cover the requirements of the National Curriculum for science at Key Stage 3, the Common Entrance Examination at 13+ syllabus and equivalent junior science courses. Based on Physics Now! 11-14, the clear text and colourful illustrations and photographs fully explain the concepts and encourage background reading. Boxed sections are used to show how scientific ideas have developed and how they are applied in today's world.

Throughout there are numerous questions that test a range of skills including comprehension, application, analysis and evaluation. These may be used as a basis for classwork or homework. There are also 'For discussion' sections to encourage group discussion.

In this new edition, the Chapters have been reorganised to reflect the QCA Scheme of Work and there is additional information of fuses and circuit breakers, energy transfers and transmitting electricity, the effects of gravity and ways of measuring speed. There is also an expanded Chapter on the Solar Sysytem.

Each book has a glossary and is supported by a Teacher's Resource Book that contains details of practical work.
