Most Popular Books by David James

This book reprints and analyses reviews of music hall acts from the family magazine The Red Letter, which was published by the Scottish based firm D C Thomson from 1899 to 1987. The articles under review range in date from 1902 to 1914, covering theatres all over Britain and acts from around the world. The reviews are uniquely detailed and shed light not only on the early acts of comics who would later go on to achieve wider fame, such as Will Hay and Robb Wilton, but also reveal the acts of long forgotten performers. These so-called ‘wines and spirits’ acts—acts that would never top the bill but who nevertheless toured the halls, sometimes for years on end, such as female impersonator Albert Letine, comedy magician Chris van Bern and female stand up Anna Dorothy amongst many others—deserve to be remembered every bit as much as the top of the bill acts. The articles are arranged in sections, covering race, gender, character comedy, physical comedy, male comedy and specialty or ‘spesh’ acts. The reviews reveal not only the contents of the acts but also the audience reactions to those acts and prevailing contemporary Edwardian attitudes. The articles are accompanied by their original illustrations, some of which are unique and, like the articles themselves, unseen for over a century.

In this study of Fichte''s social and political philosophy, David James offers an interpretation of Fichte''s most famous writings in this area, including his Foundations of Natural Right and Addresses to the German Nation, centred on two main themes: property and virtue. These themes provide the basis for a discussion of such issues as what it means to guarantee the freedom of all the citizens of a state, the problem of unequal relations of economic dependence between states, and the differences and connections between the legal and political sphere of right and morality. James also relates Fichte''s central social and political ideas to those of other important figures in the history of philosophy, including Locke, Kant and Hegel, as well as to the radical phase of the French Revolution. His account will be of importance to all who are interested in Fichte''s philosophy and its intellectual and political context.

An accessible guide to creating schedules that amplify school and district priorities, support best practices in teaching and learning, heighten student engagement, and enhance equity. A school’s schedule can be as important to education outcomes as its budget or strategic plan. The secret to making the schedule a tool for school improvement is to approach schedule design not as a technical task, centered on making everything fit like Tetris blocks, but as a strategic one. In this book, informed by research and their work with hundreds of schools, scheduling experts Nathan Levenson and David James explore how strategic scheduling can turn a "good enough" schedule into one that supercharges learning and engagement without additional costs or more FTEs. If you are ready to * Figure out which schedule type is best for your students and staff; * Disrupt harmful tracking and ensure every student has access to highly skilled teachers and rigorous curriculum; * Deliver optimum hours of core instruction while expanding electives and providing opportunities for student voice and choice; * Precisely match staffing to course enrollment to free up personnel and funds for other purposes * Find time for critical intervention and enrichment blocks; and * Communicate scheduling decisions more effectively to parents, families, and district leaders ... then it’s time for strategic scheduling. Offering targeted advice for best-practice scheduling at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, this book will help school and district leaders—and the teachers and students they serve—make the most of every school day and every school year.

This is not a book. It’s a sock drawer of riddles, a spoonful of paradox, a poetic shrug wrapped in existential glitter. This Book Has No Meaning (But Do You?) is an invitation to wander through a landscape where logic takes tea with nonsense, metaphysics wears mismatched socks, and every poem is a small rebellion against the tyranny of interpretation. These verses don’t behave. They don’t sit still. They don’t explain themselves. Instead, they wink, wander, unravel, and dare you to follow. Your journey begins in the Library of Unfinished Thoughts—a vast, echoing hall where blank books lean against half-written poems, and philosophical footnotes trail off mid‑sentence as if they’ve remembered something urgent and wandered away. A sign above the entrance sets the tone: Meaning not guaranteed. Identity optional. Here, ambiguity hums in the air like a fluorescent light with opinions. Lamps flicker in iambic pentameter. A drawer labelled “Purpose” refuses to open, no matter how politely you ask. The librarian is a sock with a monocle and a mild existential crisis. It speaks only in rhetorical questions and files manuscripts according to emotional temperature. Somewhere in the back, a spoon delivers a lecture on the metaphysics of toast to an audience consisting of a coat hanger, a teacup, and a man who insists—quite earnestly—that he is a metaphor. No one argues with him. In this place, he might be right. As you wander the aisles, you’ll encounter books such as Why Am I a Fork?, The Ontology of Lint, and How to Misinterpret Yourself in Seven Easy Rhymes. Each poem you open becomes a mirror—sometimes cracked, sometimes fogged, always reflecting something you didn’t expect to see. These verses don’t resolve; they dissolve. They don’t offer meaning; they invite it. They don’t tell you who you are; they ask why you’re asking. This Book Has No Meaning (But Do You?) is not here to be understood. It’s here to un‑stand you—to loosen your grip on certainty, to coax a laugh from the void, and to make you wonder, just for a moment, whether the void might be laughing back. It’s a celebration of ambiguity, a dance with the absurd, and a reminder that sometimes the most honest questions are the ones that refuse to answer themselves. Step inside. The nonsense is waiting.

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK Once in a great while a writer comes along who can truly capture the drama and passion of the life of a family. David James Duncan, author of the novel The River Why and the collection River Teeth, is just such a writer. And in The Brothers K he tells a story both striking and in its originality and poignant in its universality. This touching, uplifting novel spans decades of loyalty, anger, regret, and love in the lives of the Chance family. A father whose dreams of glory on a baseball field are shattered by a mill accident. A mother who clings obsessively to religion as a ward against the darkest hour of her past. Four brothers who come of age during the seismic upheavals of the sixties and who each choose their own way to deal with what the world has become. By turns uproariously funny and deeply moving, and beautifully written throughout, The Brothers K is one of the finest chronicles of our lives in many years. Praise for The Brothers K “The pages of The Brothers K sparkle.”—The New York Times Book Review “Duncan is a wonderfully engaging writer.”—Los Angeles Times “This ambitious book succeeds on almost every level and every page.”—USA Today “Duncan’s prose is a blend of lyrical rhapsody, sassy hyperbole and all-American vernacular.”—San Francisco Chronicle “The Brothers K affords the . . . deep pleasures of novels that exhaustively create, and alter, complex worlds. . . . One always senses an enthusiastic and abundantly talented and versatile writer at work.”—The Washington Post Book World “Duncan . . . tells the larger story of an entire popular culture struggling to redefine itself—something he does with the comic excitement and depth of feeling one expects from Tom Robbins.”—Chicago Tribune

Welcome to the world of poems for fun. This book continues the journey begun in the earlier Limericks for Fun series. As with the previous collections, it uses clear, easily recognisable patterns designed to encourage children—and all who remain young at heart—to experiment with creating stories of their own through the familiar structure of poems. Readers need only imagine a tale and begin with the repeated opening lines, which support pattern recognition while allowing each poem to remain unique and carry its own message. For simplicity and continuity, the same characters appear with the same titles throughout the series, allowing young readers to follow their progress as each new story unfolds. Simplicity remains the first principle when learning any new skill: begin with what feels natural, keep the structure light, and feel free to adapt the rhyming scheme to suit personal preference. The beauty of this approach to learning poetry—or storytelling, if preferred—is that there is no right or wrong. What matters most is the enjoyment found along the way and the confidence gained as children grow into storytellers in their own right. This collection presents twenty whimsical poems crafted to spark imagination, laughter, and lively conversation between young readers and the adults who guide them. Though the verses may appear to be cheerful nonsense—tales of animals with unusual dreams, curious habits, and impossible adventures—each rhyme is intentionally designed to help children build confidence as readers, strengthen memory, and develop the verbal and analytical skills that support early learning. Poems are powerful tools for young readers because their rhythmic patterns, predictable structures, and playful rhymes make them naturally memorable. Children often repeat them effortlessly, absorbing vocabulary and sentence patterns through enjoyment alone. With parental guidance, each rhyme becomes more than a short poem—it becomes a shared moment of discovery, where reading is joyful rather than instructional. Parents and carers are encouraged to read aloud, explore sounds and meanings, ask questions, and invite children to retell the stories. These small interactions deepen comprehension and strengthen memory. Alongside reading, children are invited to draw the scenes they imagine, reinforcing visual thinking and giving them a sense of ownership over each poem. With twenty poems per book, this collection offers a balanced rhythm of reading, discussion, and creative exploration. May it become a treasured companion—one that invites laughter, sparks imagination, and opens the door to the lifelong pleasure of reading.

Epidemiology is the study of how often diseases occur in different groups of people and why. Epidemiological information is used to plan and evaluate strategies to prevent illness and as a guide to the management of patients in whom disease has already developed. This short book aims to provide an ABC of the epidemiological approach, its terminology, and its methods.

The Addresses to the German Nation (1808) is one of Fichte''s best-known works. It is also his most controversial work because of its nationalist elements. In this book, David James places this text and its nationalism within the context provided by Fichte''s philosophical, educational and moral project of creating a community governed by pure practical reason, in which his own foundational philosophical science or Wissenschaftslehre could achieve general recognition. Rather than marking a break in Fichte''s philosophy, the Addresses to the German Nation and some lesser-known texts from the same period are shown to develop themes already present in his earlier writings. The themes discussed include the opposition between idealism and dogmatism, the role of Fichte''s ''popular'' lectures and writings in leading individuals to the standpoint of idealism, the view of history demanded by idealism and the role of the state in history.
