The British free festival movement, and the way that it was viciously quashed by successive waves of The Establishment is a story that many have skirted around, but until now no one has done justice to. Ian and Bridget's extraordinary book is an oral history of these turbulent times and deserves to be seen in the same illustrious light as Days In The Life: Voices from the English Underground, 1961-71 by Jonathan Green. Ian and Bridget have done a great service to music lovers and social historians alike.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49531686224145,"sku":"GOR007816478","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49539314549009,"sku":"GOR013567388","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1908728574.jpg?v=1751314725"},{"product_id":"hall-and-oates-on-track-book-ian-abrahams-9781789521672","title":"Hall and Oates On Track","description":"Best known for a string of 1980s pop soul classics such as 'Private Eyes', 'Maneater', and 'Out Of Touch', Daryl Hall \u0026amp; John Oates are far more than the much caricatured image of the tall blonde one and the short one with the moustache. Through peaks and troughs of the preceding decade, their Philly soul sound twisted and turned, with forays into psychedelic rock with Todd Rundgren and an embracing of new wave tunes as the 1970s progressed. Their records are full of luscious harmonies and catchy melodies, but with an experimental side that's often been overlooked by those who know them principally from 'Rich Girl' or 'I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)'.     This book unpicks the multiple facets of the best-selling musical duo act of all time, recounting the stories behind the songs, and charting the myriad paths they've taken, to reveal a very different Hall \u0026amp; Oates behind their popular image.     Hall \u0026amp; Oates on track, the first critical exploration of their work in book form for over thirty-five years, examines their entire output, from Whole Oats to Do It For Love, taking in bonus tracks, compilations, covers and live albums, to give the reader a proper overview of their fifty year career.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49740643991825,"sku":"NGR9781789521672","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53043135873297,"sku":"GOR014711932","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/178952167X.jpg?v=1751185412"},{"product_id":"hawkwind-book-ian-abrahams-9780946719693","title":"Hawkwind","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49949222437137,"sku":"GOR005480737","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53156653367569,"sku":"GOR014786226","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0946719691.jpg?v=1751396939"},{"product_id":"hawkwind-book-ian-abrahams-9781542379038","title":"Hawkwind","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50059308040465,"sku":"GOR009562820","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51036353757457,"sku":"NIN9781542379038","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1542379032.jpg?v=1751341126"},{"product_id":"strange-boat-book-ian-abrahams-9780946719921","title":"Strange Boat","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50706956026129,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50706956321041,"sku":"GOR004154458","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0946719926.jpg?v=1751202560"},{"product_id":"practical-work-in-secondary-science-book-ian-abrahams-9781847065032","title":"Practical Work in Secondary Science","description":"This is a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of teaching minds-on practical work in secondary science. Practical work is an essential feature of science education. Questions have however been raised by some science educators about its effectiveness as a teaching and learning strategy. This book considers the effectiveness of practical work and suggests that, as currently practised, it is essentially a 'hands-on', rather than 'minds-on' activity. Whilst such an approach is generally effective in getting pupils to do things with objects and materials, it is relatively ineffective in developing their conceptual understanding of the associated scientific ideas and concepts. Ian Abrahams wishes to redress this and provides guidance to all aspiring and experienced secondary science professionals for making practical work - in biology, chemistry and physics - a 'minds-on' as well as a hands-on experience for their students. It will be of value to those on M-level secondary science PGCE programmes, as well as those undertaking postgraduate level research.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52477269573905,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52477270524177,"sku":"NLS9781847065032","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781847065032.jpg?v=1759845349"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-ian-abrahams.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
