I heard about Rob Ryan's work from my art teacher, and studied it this year as pieces of art but it wasn't until I read the book that I realised that it's a lot more deep than just pretty pictures and nice words. The work is really beautiful, and I particularly liked the fact you could see how it was made and all the hours that went into it. Some of the double pages take your breath away and it was more than what I expected from the book. The writing was also serendipitously good; handled badly it could have been twee or pretentious, but it seemed childlike whilst still relatable, to me. The book really struck a chord, and I'd really recommend it.

Good colourful presentation that stimulates interest., 2001-11-07
Geography matters Higher is an excellent text book for the study of geography. There are many photos and diagrams that can be used alone to develop childrens understanding. The text and questions can be differentiated to enable deeper understanding from lower ability children whilst still stimulating interest. The case studies are up to date and relevant in todays world, including the turkish earthquake of 1999. This book makes a refreshing change to the David Waugh Series that are all too common in todays secondary schools.

An interesting premise, but never really seen through, 2007-04-11
Back in the mid 1990s Marvel apparently killed off some of it's long-standing characters, only to re-launch their adventures from the beginning, putting a new spin on old concepts, giving us Marvel Heroes Reborn. This volume collects the first twelve issues of the Avengers series.

The Heroes Reborn version of the Avengers starts off by dangling some intriguing mysteries before us. Hawkeye's identity seems to be being hidden from us - as his face is - and at one point the dialogue breaks off moments before potentially revealing that he might have been the Reaper's brother ("Eric you're my only ..."), which, in conventional Marvel Universe terms would have made him Simon Williams and not Clint Barton! There's also a tantalising back story that's dangled before us about the previously unseen first mission to find Zemo. Coupled with other teasers, like Thor's hammer being a living person this saga seemed to be really building up to go somewhere really interesting. Ultimately none of these threads were followed up on, making this reader less than happy. Hawkeye turned out to be Clint, just wearing a face mask, and the whole enigma of the first mission and Thor's hammer disappeared quietly.

Because of the Industrial Revolution storyline cutting across all the Heroes Reborn titles you also need to read the Iron Man volume to make sense of what's going on there (and you really need to read all the Marvel Heroes Reborn volumes to appreciate the scope of the finale, which seems to end on a low note here - each of the volumes ends with Galactus' attempt to devour earth, and only by Doom going back in time three times is he happily defeated with no major casualties.)

It's a good read but, as I've already said, one I don't feel lives up to its promise.
