The title calls up a day in 1969, on which a series of odd—at first droll, later increasingly unsettling—incidents begin to beset a doctoral student in Paris. Trying to wrap his head around the forces that threaten to take over his life, Marty and his best friend Augustus spiral into a deepening crisis, even as they question whether what they stumbled upon is only a figment of their imaginations. Unfortunately for them, their summer will end tragically, raising a host of questions about what exactly they encountered on the streets of the fever-hot city.

The Ides of August is a book about friendship, love, and social change, as much as it is about our place in a universe, which is not only stranger than we imagine, but stranger than we can imagine

The underpinning theme of this book is how children develop as writers and how self-awareness raises achievement. It offers creative approaches to increasing pupil motivation and performance by involving, amongst other things, Drama and ICT.

The contributors offer practical advice on ways to meet the needs of boys, able children, SEN pupils and those learning English as an additional language; how to plan effective lessons; how to be flexible within the framework of the NLS; and the role of assessment and how it contributes to self-understanding.

Central to all classroom practitioners and students, this innovative book improves general understanding of the process related to composition and transcription and helps to raise the standards of writing in all classrooms.
