    At a gathering in ancient Athens, a group of distinguished men assemble for an evening of wine, conversation, and philosophical challenge. Each is tasked with delivering a speech in praise of Eros—the force of love that shapes human desire, ambition, and understanding. 
    In Symposium, Plato presents a series of perspectives that move from the practical to the profound. Love is explored as a source of courage, a guide to beauty, and ultimately, a path toward higher truth. As each speaker builds upon—or challenges—the last, the dialogue unfolds into one of philosophy’s most enduring examinations of human connection. 
    At the center stands Socrates, whose reflections shift the discussion beyond admiration and into inquiry, revealing love not merely as emotion, but as a force tied to knowledge, aspiration, and the pursuit of the eternal. 
    Narrated with clarity and restraint by Paul Landergan, this production preserves the intellectual richness and timeless relevance of Plato’s work, inviting listeners into a conversation that has resonated for over two millennia.

    Written by Richard James, Chess for Schools: From simple strategy games to clubs and competitions is a great resource to help teachers encourage children to enjoy the benefits and challenges of the chess game
    Chess is a game of extraordinary excitement and beauty and all children should have the opportunity to experience it. Indeed, many claim that playing abstract strategy games such as chess provides a wide range of cognitive and social benefits- such as improvements in problem-solving ability and communication skills.
    However, Richard James argues that, because of the complexity of chess, most younger children would gain more benefit from simpler chess-based strategy games and incremental learning. In this practical handbook, Richard provides a wide range of games and puzzles based on these principles which are appropriate for primary schools and explains how teachers can identify children who would benefit from starting young.
    Richard also sets out how this approach can engage the whole community, including working with children with special needs, getting parents involved in learning and playing, and developing partnerships between primary and secondary schools.
    Chess for Schools shares the latest research into how children process information, combined with insights into international best practice in teaching chess to young children. The book demonstrates the transformative effect chess can have on older children, and how this can be promoted in secondary schools. Richard James offers valuable insights into the greater context of chess-playing, expressing how and why chess is a joy to so many worldwide andshares a series of resources and minigames for teachers to use with their learners.
    An ideal resource for primary and secondary school teachers wanting to introduce their pupils to chess.
