Synopsis of my book: In today’s world, many people worry about terrorist threat of exploding nuclear or dirty bomb, chemical weapons or biological weapons more than did in the past. This book has tried to reduce their fear by describing the nature of each of these weapons, their adverse health effects and difficulties in using some of them as a weapon of mass destruction. In addition, instead of feeling helpless, the guidelines described in this book can help you to understand the risk you are facing, as well as what you can do to protect yourself and your family- not just from uncertain risks like explosion of dirty bomb, toxic chemicals or harmful infective agents, but also from other risks such as diagnostic x-ray-based procedures, radiation received during flight at high altitude and working in the environment of radiation equipments.

St Aiden's Homeschool Website Updates - 05 February 2009

Wow! I cannot believe we are well into February already. The Northern Hemisphere will soon be experiencing spring days whilst the Southern Hemisphere will begin its autumn days. Where is the time going to J

As promised in the last website update we have a focus on one of the greatest literary masters in history, Charles Dickens. I have compiled Comprehension & Literature Unit Studies on some of his well-known and lesser-known works. The age groups for these will vary dependent upon the age and aptitude of the learner.

Each Unit study is accompanied by an Executive Study, which is helpful when summarising for written comprehension. Normally this is aimed at much older students. I have included these because of the length of some of the manuscripts… I know one is 943 pages long.

The download links can be found at these pages:

David Copperfield


Master Humphrey's Clock

Oliver Twist

The Battle of Life

The Holly Tree

The Cricket On The Hearth

The Chimes

A Child's History of England

On Dickens Main Page you will find an autobiography on the man himself, as well as some interesting books of fact, The Works of Dickens. Also are links to some really informative sites on Dickens and his works.

I have also compiled a comprehensive literature unit study on Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn. It’s a large file and it was eventually necessary to break it down into the original “parts” of the book. So there are 8 sections to the book, each one illustrated beautifully, and a separate download link for the Literature Unit Study. Please let me know of any broken links in this section as it was reformatted a number of times until I was happy with the final books.

Items that are not uploaded to the website but are available for free download at Currclick are:
