Politics and Law

June 23, 2009

Teachers of Politics and Law and their students may like to check out the State Library of New South Wales HSC Legal Studies: News Watch blog.  Its purpose is to provide “information about recent changes to the law, recent cases, new legislation” and to identify relevant new publications.  Two of its recent posts deal with Lorana Bartels’ paper The Status of Laws on Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs in Australia and the issue of taser stun gun use in NSW.

Creative Graphics

Take Me BackTraditional history textbooks take a back seat to this highly creative presentation of the facts in DK’s Take Me Back. Read Captain Cook’s Blog or Napoleon’s social networking site, not to mention the myriad other formats you will discover in this book, which is thoroughly satisfying in its visual appeal and imagination. Wonderfully inspiring for graphic arts. Definitely one for the school library and for the coffee table at home.
