This text is written to match exactly the specification for teaching Advanced Chemistry from September 2000. There are two strands, AS and A2. The AS book is designed to meet the level required of the Advanced Secondary qualification, the A2 book helps students tackle the greater challenges of the A2 year. The accompanying resource packs have photocopiable question sheets linked to the books. These provide extra support, practice and extension questions for homework assignments, revision, and key skill development. The resource pack content is also available on customizable CD-ROM, with artwork from the books that can be projected on OHTs.

"It's more humane to face a firing squad than a classroom, humiliated because of illiteracy. One is swift, the other leads to a lifetime of isolation and hardship. Timekeeper is my triumph over letters. Parts of my journey are no longer clear. Forty-eight years later, I have re-imagined events that seem most consistent to my memory. In 1959 ground swept under my feet like a starving man scrambling for his next meal. I'd fled a dysfunctional family in Virginia. I met many people along the way, but no one could compare with Chief in Oklahoma. He filled a void in me and taught me how to join together the many pieces of life. Chief wasn t surprised that I'd crossed the country at the age of fourteen. I was a big kid and had become hardened to the ways of the streets. Right away Chief understood why I didn't fit in. The main thing was, I couldn't read. He looked into my soul and saw the suffering I'd endured in the white man's world. He also saw into my future. Anyone with a lick of sense would ve been frightened of Chief, an old medicine man with strange powers. But after everyone else had given up on me, he saw how I could help myself. At first I thought he was foolish as a fish flopping on a riverbank when he said I should go north to a place he'd visited as a boy. Hell, that was back before we had automobiles. But he said I would go with a great power. I couldn't imagine where the power would come from. I thought it had to be a strong car, a big Buick Road Master. Every boy my age wanted a car. But the old man gave me a name, Timekeeper. I was no longer Johnnyboy, the affectionate name my Mama had called me. But the gift of the new name stayed a mystery for forty-eight years, the time it took me to figure out Chief's predictions. For all those years I've searched for his meaning, and now I know."

Johnny Boy Atkinson is at it again, but he comes at you from a completely different direction. In Timekeeper he gives you the moving story of a young man's difficult journey to overcome illiteracy and the mean-spirited abuse of one's own dysfunctional family. In Dark Shadows Red Bayou-with his masterful storytelling ability-Atkinson brings you the murder mystery thriller par excellence. John Atkinson has been nominated for the 2009 Library of Virginia award in fiction for his novel/quasi-memoir Timekeeper. Over the years many of his articles and short stories have appeared in syndicated publications and magazines.

The male has an oval white spot on the inner web of the first three quill feathers, and at the tip of the two outer tail feathers. The goat sucker is a migratory and solitary bird, appearing with us about the middle of May, and retiring in September or October. It makes no nest, but lays two oval whitish eggs, marbled with light brown on the bare ground amongst heath or fern. It frequents woods, and feeds in the evening on beetles. It chatters by night, with a singular noise. " We have witnessed the singular manner in which this bird takes its prey, consisting of moths and beetles, which it pursues with great agility on the wing, occasionally throwing itself backwards, and thrusting out its foot, with which it seizes and conveys them to its mouth with great deliberation: probably its serrated claws may assist this operation." W. ORDER IV. COLUMBM. Base of the bill covered with a soft tumid membrane, the tip arcuated. Stomach muscular, or furnished with a gizzard. GENUS XXXI, COLUMBA. Bill weak, straight, slender, a little bent at the apex; nostrils oblong, half covered by a soft tumid membrane; tongue entire; legs short. Dr. Fordyce has proved by experiments, that all birds, especially during the time of laying, require a certain quantity of calcareous matter for the perfect formation of their egg-shells. In opposition to this opinion, however, Dr. Paris, in the 10th vol. of Lin. Trans, says, " That a deficiency of calcareous matter in the system is the cause of the absence of the shell, no one will deny; but that it depends on some internal state, and not on the privation of lime, may be shewn by the following circumstance. A hen, which I kept for ...
