This is a very special become the highlight of the festival accessible to all. Welcome to a world of discovery. international literary calendar” Richard Walker, Editor Catherine Lockerbie, Director Nations Unlimited: Exploring the Future World Borders The 2005 Book Festival launches a major international theme about the future of nations. What are nations for and how do they behave in the 21st century? Beginning in Edinburgh, this vital series of events will extend across three countries, Scotland, Norway and Sweden – and three festivals, Edinburgh, Stavanger and Gothenburg – in a unique Northern European collaboration, a pioneering Book Festival first. This is a globally important theme for everyone who cares about their country and the world. Look out for Nations Unlimited events, many with star names and leading thinkers, running throughout the programme. We explore many aspects of nationhood: identity, borders, emigration and immigration, exile, religion, statelessness, multi-culturalism and more. We ask why, in an age of globalised business, mass communication and the internet, do borders and national identities still mean so much to us? Why do we still go to war over nations? We invite writers to share their views on this fundamental question for our little crowded planet. Is the nation-state still the right way to organise ourselves? What, if any, are the alternatives? How can we as individuals have any influence on nations? This unique three nation collaboration involves the Edinburgh International Book Festival; Kapittel, Special Nations Unlimited Exhibition: The Scent of Longing Stavanger International Festival of Literature and Freedom of Speech (14 – 18 Sept 2005, Powerful and moving photographs of humanity on the move – refugees, families fleeing their www.kapittel.com); and the Göteborg International homes – show what it means to have to leave your nation behind.

  • Caldicott School Reading List Which Book?! – Please Do Read This Introduction!
    Caldicott School Reading List Which Book?! – Please do read this introduction! In an ideal world we would all be free to spend many a leisurely hour browsing in bookshops and libraries. However, the fantastic abundance of titles available for children and ‘young-adults’ today can make finding the ‘right’ book an all too lengthy and sometimes baffling task. The following list is by no means comprehensive, but we have endeavoured to include as wide a range of fiction as possible – both classics and modern publications – as well as some non-fiction. We hope that this will go a little way toward encouraging an abiding love of stories, and knowledge, in every boy. Whilst there are many authors in this list, by no means have we included all of their books. If you find that you enjoy a book by a particular author, why not try something else written by them? We also understand that it is sometimes hard to choose a book based solely on title and author, however, if we were to include a brief blurb about each book, then it would take years to read the reading list! We recommend that you use this list, along with the internet, to do a bit of research to find blurbs and reviews and decide if you like the sound of a particular book. The list is 20 pages long, but broken down into Junior, Middle and Senior School Sections, with modern fiction first in each section, followed by classics, with a list of non-fiction work right at the very end.
