Reading Enrichment List 2020-2021 A Level Wider Reading Enrichment List 2020 – 2021 As you make the jump from GCSEs to A Levels, it is important to develop an understanding of your subject that goes beyond the textbooks you are required to read. Wider reading can give you an advantage in exams by providing you with a wealth of knowledge that sets you apart from other candidates, opening your eyes to the views and opinions of subject specialists, and generally deepening your understanding of a topic area. Not only does engaging in wider reading support you in your A Level exams, but it is an essential practice that all universities will be looking for evidence of in your personal statements. When you apply to university or an apprenticeship next year, it is crucial that you demonstrate an eagerness to explore your chosen subject and prove that you are capable of balancing additional reading alongside your schoolwork. It is a good idea to start reading around your subjects early on in the term, so as to avoid the mad rush when UCAS comes along – aiming to read two or three books a month will provide you with an invaluable foundation of knowledge that will support you over the next two years. Below is a list of recommended reads by the UCGS subject departments to help you on your reading journey. Happy reading everyone!

    PEW LITERARY Spring Rights Guide 2021 NON-FICTION 2 THE MARTYR AND THE RED KIMONO A Polish Monk’s Sacrifice and a New Generation of Hope in Japan Naoko Abe The Martyr and the Red Kimono is the story of two Japanese men—a 91-year-old Franciscan monk, Tomei Ozaki, who survived the Nagasaki bomb in 1945 and lives there in an old people’s home, and 89-year-old cherry guardian Masatoshi Asari from the northern island of Hokkaido— whose lives have been shaped by a Polish monk, Father Maximilian Kolbe. Father Kolbe had been drawn to Japan by the story of how the Japanese saved some 780 Polish orphans in Siberia, during the Russian civil wars of the 1920s, bringing the children to Japan and then repatriating them to Poland. So Father Kolbe came to Nagasaki in the 1930s, where he established a monastery and spent six years ministering to the descendants of Japan’s hidden Christians, the Kakure Kirishitan, who were still discriminated against after centuries of repression but at least then living openly, and in their thousands, around their newly built cathedral in central Nagasaki. Kolbe then returned to Poland where he became caught up in the Nazi invasion. He died at Auschwitz in 1941, having volunteered his life to save another prisoner. He was canonised in 1982, with the Pope commenting that Kolbe was the “patron saint of our difficult century”. Tomei Ozaki and Masatoshi Asari have never met, yet their beliefs—the importance of Japan confronting its past, a love for all fellow humans—have been shaped by Father Kolbe’s example.

  • Handbook of Public Communication of Science and Technology
    handbook of public communication of science and technology Communicating science and technology has become a priority of many research and policy institutions, a concern of many other private and public bodies, and an estab- lished subject of training and education. In the past few decades the field has devel- oped and expanded significantly, not only in terms of professional practice, but also in terms of research and reflection. As well as introducing the main issues, arenas and professional perspectives involved, this unique volume couples an overview of the pro- blems faced by practitioners with a thorough review of relevant literature and research. The handbook format makes this a student-friendly resource, but its breadth of scope and expert contributors mean it is also ideal for practitioners and professionals working in the field. Combining the contributions of different disciplines and the perspectives of different geographical and cultural contexts, this original text pro- vides an interdisciplinary as well as a global approach to public communication of science and technology. Contributors include mass communication scholars, sociol- ogists, discourse analysts, public relations practitioners, science journalists, and others. It is a valuable resource for students, practitioners and professionals in the fields of media and journalism, sociology, history of science, and science and technology. Massimiano Bucchi is Professor of Sociology of Science at the University of Trento, Italy. He is author of several books including Science and the Media (Routledge, 1998) and Science in Society (Routledge, 2004), and is co-editor of Journalism, Science and Society Relations (with M. Bauer, Routledge, 2007). Brian Trench is Senior Lecturer and former Head of the School of Communications, Dublin City University, Ireland.
