Time to get rid of some books <Sniff>

May 16, 2021

It’s a decision I’ve been forced into, but I have decided to reduce the number of books I have. Who forced me? Me. I didn’t realise this at the time we bought our abode, but it turns out that the walls aren’t expandable. I’m fed up with having double or sometimes even triple rows of books on the same shelf.

In the process of identifying which books to send off to a new home, I’ve discovered some books I’d forgotten about and now look forward to reading (again). Other books are no longer useful to me. Actually, the process has not been as traumatic as I feared, though I haven’t actually got rid of any books yet.

The books are largely in the areas of education, business and technology.

I thought I would try and sell them, and as I don’t fancy using eBay, or carting a load of books into central London (where there are some excelled second-hand bookshops, I thought I’d use a book buying service.

I’ve identified three possibilities, these being Zapper, Ziffit and We Buy Books. I’ve started to explore them, but if anyone reading this has any experience of them, or others, I’d be delighted to hear from you.

I submitted my review of this book to Teach Secondary magazine, an educational magazine in the UK. The first review below is what the magazine published. The second one is what I actually wrote! In substantive terms there is little difference between the two, but you may find it interesting to see what the editor altered.

History lesson, by Terry Freedman.jpg
Is The computing Curriculum Too Masculine? Revisited 16 years later!

One of the apparently insoluble problems of the age is how do you encourage more girls to take up Computing? I think a lot can be done, and have done so myself, but I wonder how far a lot of the effort fails to get to the heart of the issue, which could be the curriculum itself, the way it is taught, or a combination of the two?
