Books by John Adamson

A mysterious letter delivered to a Paris apartment uncovers a startling chain of events 500 miles away in a UK city. Coincidences or God at work? Jeanne has no doubt but colleague Roger must remain sensitive to wife Judy's childhood vulnerability. Meanwhile an eclectic group of characters who are searching for answers to life's big questions are rocked by the arrival of a stranger in their midst. Lining their journey are humour and suspicion as well as despair and outrageous love. But nothing can be straightforward for one of their number.

This collection offers a distinctly Asian voice for English language education and addresses some of the unique needs of Asian learners in EFL contexts. Teachers and researchers from nine Asian countries present some of the most current and innovative research in five distinct and fascinating areas of EFL teaching and learning.

John Adamson provides a new synthesis of current research on the political crisis that engulfed England in the 1640s. Drawing on new archival findings and challenging current orthodoxies, these essays by leading historians offer a variety of original perspectives, locating English events firmly within a 'three kingdoms' context.

A magnificent new study of the political crisis that produced the overthrow of King Charles I, and came to engulf all three Stuart kingdoms - England, Scotland, and Ireland - in war during the 1640s.
