Historical Traveler Reviews Catalonia Portal de l'Angel Barcelona
Great hotel, but mind the handbag snatchers
The Albinoni is a wonderful hotel in a brilliant location. It is within the gothic quarter and a 5 minute walk from the metro in Catulanya plaza. The rooms are spotless, the staff friendly and the buffet breakfast is excellent value. We enjoyed 4 nights there while taking in the sights of barcelona including watch Barca beat Osasuna 3-0 at the Nou camp. The only downer on our trip was my wife's handbag getting stolen during a visit to the olympic stadium. The handabg was under a table at which we were sitting while having some coffee, the thief walked past the table kicked the bag picked it up and ran. His cheek was breath-taking and I would guess his desperation was probaly due to a drug habit. Apparently this sort of thing is not uncommon in barcelona, so do watch out
Great place
Fantastic location, excellent breakfast. My sister and I took my mum there for her 60th birthday in May and she adored it. We had a room at the front looking onto the pedestrianised street with a balcony. It wasn't the quietest, but it didn't disturb us at all, we soaked up the Catalonian ambience!! We originally were shown a different room which had no view and there were no problems changing it when I asked. There were 3 of us in a room with 3 single beds and there was enough space. It was very clean and serviced on a daily basis. The staff were friendly and helpful. It's easy to get to from the airport. I would suggest taking the airport bus rather than wasting money on a taxi, as it is only 5 mins walk (if that) from the bus stop. Overall, we had a great time.
Ideal Location!
We just spent the last four days at this hotel and were thoroughly satisfied. The location couldn't be more central for first timers to Barcelona. The touristic bus (which we highly recommend) is a block away as well as the cathedral and several good restaurants. We had a very nice room on the back courtyard which was very quiet. The hotel faces a pedestrian walkway which is very animated most of the day and early evening. The staff was very helpful and most spoke fluent English. One gentlemen at the front desk wrote a note for me in Spanish to get cough medecine at a pharmacy. The breakfast buffet was delicious and served in a pavilion in the back courtyard. My only complaint is that smoking was allowed in the breakfast room.
Great location
We stayed at this hotel approx. 3 weeks ago and loved it mostly because of its perfect location. Also, the staff was friendly and answered all our questions, about recommendations, directions, which beach, etc.
Does just what it says on the tin!
Booked this hotel via Expedia and chose the inclusive breakfast price which was definitely worth it. Excellent location. Good clean comfortable room facing rear courtyard - not a pretty view but quiet (apart from the drilling to fix some air conditioning in the shop next door on the first night until 2am!!! BUT not the hotel's fault). Lovely marble bathroom. Front facing rooms would probably be noisy as the pedestrianised street is always full of life! Excellent location - couldn't wish for better. Friendly helpful staff who spoke enough English; Breakfast buffet pretty good - juices, cereals, fruit, cheeses, hams, hot eggs and bacon, croissants, bread (& toast), yogourts, cakes, etc - even included special diet options. Bottom line - happy to recommend it for location comfort and value
Great Hotel
This hotel is located in the heart of Barcelona, on a great pedestrian street. The rooms were clean, nicely decorated and very spacious. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Our trip to Europe included 4 different countries and this hotel by far surpassed all of the others we stayed in while the price was comparable. I feel very confident recommending this hotel.
Great hotel/great locatin/great city
My husband and I stayed here from April 6-9, 2004 and loved every minute of it. The location of this hotel was superb!! The room was very comfortable. The breakfast was very expensive, so we never had a chance to eat there. The hotel was very clean and nice. Barcelona is a wonderful city. I can't praise it enough. The "bus touristica" took us everywhere. You should really buy a tourbook or guide to Barcelona, because there is a tremendous amount of things to see. This is my favorite city and hope to spend about 6 months here at some time in my life. Old town is beautiful. Gaudi is fantastic. I would definitely stay in this hotel again.
Location, Service, Value
Finding the perfect hotel in Barcelona for a family short break within budget can be difficult. I spent five days looking out in the internet, and after reading a lot of reviews, visiting hotel webpages and making strategic calculations over the Barcelona city interactive map, I decided the perfect spot for having access to the most central popular attractions (Barri Gothic, Eixample, etc), and also be within reasonable distance of everything else (Gaudi house and parks, Barceloneta, etc) should be somewhere near where the Catalonia Hotel Albinioni is. Even though there were other more popular and more expensive hotels in the area, I choose this hotel, and I was not dissapointed. The location of the Hotel is Excellent. In a wide peatonal and very busy street near plaza Catalunya. I was walking on the Barri Gothic streets within minutes of arriving the first day. Yet the interior of the hotel was surprisingly quiet and calm providing a good relief from the street outside very busy on pre-Christmas December 2003. The hotel provided me an excellent room with special disabilites requirements that I made when making the booking . The staff was very friendly and provided excellent service. It is true the breakfast is not that impressive and this is certainly not a five star hotel. There might be small deficiencies compared to a five star hotel, but it seems to me it will be difficult to find a better value for money hotel in Barcelona. I recommend to everyone looking for a convenient place to stay for a short break to enjoy what Barcelona has to offer.
Pleaseant stay
I was happy with the Albinioni, the building was pretty, the location was excellent. It's on a wide pedestrian street full of shops and colorful street preformers, just one block from Placa Catalunya. Just take the bus from the airport, get off at Placa Catalunya and walk down a block, very convinent.Service was very good, rooms were modern, pleaseant and clean. Nice wood floors and balcony. We had a balcony facing the back courtyard so we weren't bothered by noise from the packed front streets.Overall our stay was excellent. The only negative was the additional 11 euros per person for breakfast, i thought that was a bit much so we just picked up pastries from the bakeries nearby and ate on our balcony.We rented a double room at the end of January 2004 for 90 euro, plus v.a.t. taxes and no breakfast.
Good value and location for price
Great location on the Playa de Catalunya. The staff was friendly and nice. Rooms are comfortable, however did not have air conditioning in May, they may turn it on in summer months (advertised as having it.
Nice small balconies at back, rooms are quiet. Front room face placa and would not be as quiet. Nice bathrooms and amenities.

What a rush.
The University of Northern Colorado football team had everything going on Saturday, especially the running game, and got its biggest victory since joining the Big Sky Conference in 2006 with a 52-14 victory over Idaho State at Nottingham Field.
UNC running back Tromaine Dennis rushed for a Division I school record 178 yards as the Bears scored a record for points in a Big Sky regular-season game and got Earnest Collins Jr. his first conference victory as UNC's coach.
It also snapped an 11-game losing streak for the Bears in conference play with the last victory coming at the end of the regular season in 2010 against
Portland State.
"That was fun," Collins said. "It was awesome to get the win today. We have been talking to our kids all week about that we still have a goal intact to have a winning season, but we've got to win this first one of five straight. It's just getting the kids to understand that and believe that and this is a good jumpstart to that."
There was no doubt about that.
On this day, everything was clicking on all cylinders for UNC. The Bears (1-3 in conference, 2-5 overall) racked up 537 yards of total offense, led by Dennis and UNC quarterback Seth Lobato.
Lobato, the former Eaton High School standout, completed 16-of-22 passes for 243 yards and a career-high five touchdowns while Dennis added a pair of touchdowns.
Dennis, in his second start of the season after transferring late in the fall from Butte College, ran around, over and through a Bengals defense that came into the game last in the conference in rushing defense, giving up 375.8 yards per game.
The Bears were averaging only 74.2 yards coming in, but finished the game with 291 yards on the ground.
"Coach told me we were going to run a lot," Dennis said. "They stressed technique-sound football, read my keys and make sure I know what I am doing and I executed pretty good today and the offensive line did a great job."
On the defensive side, UNC held a Bengals offense that was averaging 25.3 points per game to only 14 with one of those scores coming late in the game in garbage time with UNC holding a 52-7 lead.
The defense also forced two interceptions from ISU quarterback Kevin Yost and recovered two fumbles that helped the Bears dominate the game from start to finish.
Redshirt freshman defensive end Chris Urbaniak was a big part of the defensive effort as he finished with a sack, forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
The turnovers helped create confidence in the defense.
"That really got us hyped," Urbaniak said. "Our coach always preaches BIA and that is just best in America and hustle. We were really running to the ball today trying to make plays and that is how the plays were made. And he also wanted us to play fearless and I feel like our defense did that today in this game."
It was the kind of game that has been a long time coming for a team that has been longing for a conference victory like this since making the transition to Division I.
"I've been preaching just if we can execute all game long how good we can be," Lobato said. "And I think we were able to see that today."

Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory
- Network: HBO
- Series Premiere Date: Jan 12, 2012
- Summary: This is the third documentary from Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky about the West Memphis Three. Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley were convicted of killing three children in 1993. After several appeals, the three men were released in August 2011 after entering an Alford plea.
- Genre(s): News/Documentary
- Show Type: TV Movie
- Season 1 premiere date: Jan 12, 2012
- Episode Length: 90
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 3 out of 4
Mixed: 1 out of 4
Negative: 0 out of 4
The hallmark of all three films has been their understanding and embrace of subjects' self-presentations./
Paradise Lost 3 never loses sight of the sickening black humor of it all--how Echols, Baldwin, and Misskelley became, in effect, mere extras in a shadowplay about the omnipotence of the state. In the shadow of such sickness, all the personal dramas can't help but pale, but there are still surprising and powerful moments.
The new film, despite the astounding story it tells, is the most conventional, least urgent and, cinematically, the least interesting of the three.

Victor Martinez hit three home runs, the Tigers pounded out six as a team and Detroit rallied from an early hole to beat the Kansas City Royals in the opener of a four-game series.
There should have been ample reason to celebrate.
Instead, there was just a little bit of melancholy in the clubhouse after a 10-4 victory Thursday night, the fallout of an injury to J.D. Martinez that could keep the outfielder out for up to six weeks.
Martinez was tracking a fly ball in the second inning when he hit the wall. He left the game and was taken for an X-ray, which revealed a non-displaced fracture in his right elbow. He'll have a CT scan on Friday.

Authorities Are on the Scene at PETCO and PetSmart Supplier
It's déjà vu all over again, and it'll probably have you wondering: What is PETCO thinking? Other than, "Hey, we can make some money!"
A PETA undercover investigator worked for more than three months at Sun Pet Ltd., an animal dealer in Atlanta that sells hamsters, mice, gerbils, birds, fish, and other small animals directly to PetSmart, PETCO, Pet Supplies "Plus," Petland, and Walmart. He documented that animals were cruelly killed, abusively handled, and kept in severely crowded, filthy conditions. Surprised?
PETA's investigator witnessed numerous abuses. A worker put hamsters in a plastic bag and bashed them against a table in an attempt to kill them. He also reported that many sick and injured animals died after PETCO and PetSmart stores returned them like damaged goods to Sun Pet without enclosing any food or water for the long journey, instead of providing them with veterinary care or ending their suffering.
PETA turned over the investigator's findings to law-enforcement authorities. This morning, officials descended on Sun Pet's massive warehouse.
Sun Pet sells hundreds of thousands of animals annually, just like U.S. Global Exotics (USGE), the exotic-animal dealer that PETA investigated late last year. That investigation resulted in the seizure of more than 26,000 animals, the largest animal seizure in history. (Perhaps also not surprisingly, Sun Pet has ties to USGE. Before that hellhole was raided and shut down, Sun Pet purchased hamsters from USGE and then sold them to PETCO stores, among others!)
This is PETA's fourth exposé revealing the abusive and filthy conditions endured by animals who are eventually sold at PETCO stores and our third exposé revealing conditions for animals who are eventually sold at PetSmart stores. Please tell PetSmart and PETCO in no uncertain terms to stop selling animals in their stores.
PETA investigations amply demonstrate that appalling neglect and abuse is just business as usual for companies that buy and sell living beings, so please tell your coworkers, friends, and everyone you know not to shop in their stores.

I hope that this f… persons feel some day the pain of this animals. Should i have the chance to catch one of those persons this person would feel the pain a live long…thats for sure. rgs. from germany
Pl stop this cruelty at any cost. one day Man will eat the earth.
It is so terribly they have all the same feelings as we have but very short life. and peoples found the way how to make real hell feom every day of their short life. We can be proud it seems! and everybody knows 99 of experiments in laboratories are done just for any plan for to prove what we know already or n ot need to know at all. Why we call ourself humane? We are much worse then everyone whom we call animals!!!! I think God and Nature will give us back all what we did so bad on this planet….
Sem palavras. Um ser humano que trata assim os animais no poder mais respeitarse a si prprio nem aos outros. Por Favor Parem com as torturas aos Animais!!! STOP NOW this treatments to the animals!!!!!
Horrible! My God how awful! Is there a mailing address we can complain via?
People like this should be behind bars! And there should be a law that forbids having animals as pets!!! Obama do something for these creatures that can't speak or stand up for themselves! Thank you PETA for being the greatest.
Well we can only pray that these so called 'people' are stopped without hesitation. One would assume wronglythat working with animals would mean they are animal lovers.Thank God for the wonderful work of Peta for uncovering such atrocities.
This is sick these places need to be shut down like now ! Every body needs to go to these places kick off about it so every1 that is shopping there hears everything these places will soon learn that they can't treat animals like this !
I can't understand how people can be so heartless and so cruel!!! I wish I could take all them idiots who treat animal this way and just send them in a box some where and let them know how it feels to be treated that way. Animal abuse and animals used in product testing and for fur is a disgrace to this society and to this planet!!! If alien could see us I hope they give some of the people brain cells so they could think about what they're doing and not do this kind of things! Much love from Sweden to all PETA folks and especially PETA itself!! Thanks for being a voice for those sweet animals that don't have one. I hope I will be able to stand up for them in the future myself like Michelle Culver.
wtf how mean srsly people should treat animals like that coz they have feelings too and also how would they like to be treated like that. animals deserve to have a life. they should be killed to eat or for science or furskin and wat ever else.
At times human beings can be the worst animals on earth and this video has proven this fact! I call these guys INSIDE BASTARDS!! BASTARDI DENTRO la sola parola che si addice a questa gentaglia! VERGOGNA!!
Please close all of these terrible places where they torture animals in this way now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is just plain sick.
This really angers me that a person could have no heart shame nor brains for that matter! I really believe that there must be something wrong with these people that do horrible things to animals. This is truly disgusting and a end needs to put to this horrible treatment for all animals around the world! Thank you PETA for all your hard work and bringing this not only to us animal lovers attention but to the rest of the world who might never have known the cruelty that actually takes place.
Aren't you ashamed to cause such pain and sufferings in these beautiful beings? Please stop it!
I used to work at a Petsmart and I had to quit because it became too depressing for me. I wish I'd had the courage back then to try and expose them somehow. Not everyone there is horribe… us in the pet care department really did care for the animals it's why we worked there. However we don't get properly trained and when an animal would get sick we did not have the power to take it to the vet. All we could do is ask and bug the manager to take it to the vet but he'd rarely do so. We would try to do our best paying extra attention to them and using store supplies such as med and vitamin supplements but many times we'd fail. It was extremely distressing when I'd open in the mornings check on the animals and find one dead that could have been saved had it been taken to the vet. PETA I wish I'd had your courage. I'm sorry I didn't. Maybe there's still something I can do.
Stope animal abuse. Dont buy anything handling and dealing with animal life. Ada
This is really so horrible. These are obviously people who are driven by money no feelings or compassion for the life of an animal. To me this is sad a life is a life and it should be treated with respect. If you can not respect a defenseless animal how can you respect anything mostly yourself. This is heartless and cruel.
I fail to comprehend that human beings can treat other living creatures this cruel. To see things like this really upset me. A society's grade of civilisation can be measured on how it treats weaker beings and I think this way of treating any living creature is beyond any words existing. The russian author Dostojevski says somewhere in the novel THE BROTHERS KARAMASSOV "…..and the animals treat them kindly as they are God's most innocent beings. Don't take away their joy of life and their will to live. But we the humans pollute the earth and leave dirt in our footsteps alas so do we all". And this was said as far back as in 1840'es. Yes this cruelty MUST STOP WE WILL NOT STAND FOR IT! Thank you to Peta for drawing out attention to this injustice.
I ask God everyday to PLEASE HELP ALL THE LITTLE CHILDREN AMD THE ANIMALS IN THE WORLD.THIS MAKES ME CRY ROSE
My heart broke into a million pieces watching this! How could anyone be so cruel!? I mean do they enjoy killing and suffocating little hamsters? Oh and that Guinie Pig!! That was terrible!!
STOP CRUDELTY WITH ANIMALS!!!Now we have live cells to make experimentes.Animals are bore to live like they are they are not toysthey have pain and they are sensitive.Plese don not use animals any more!!!!And if you do that unless kill them before making crudelty on them.Thanks
unbelievable … so cruel
Somebody needs to plaster posters all over the front of the stores for the public to see. THE TRUTH JUST MAY HELP a little when it comes to ppl possibly turning away from the entrances. I would really like to take pictures of me stuffing those azzez into bags and bashing them across tables and than stuff them into steamy hot boxes and ship them to the farthest place possible.
stop shopping at these stores.
To be perfectly honest rodents make awful pets for most people anyway. People get them for their children or because they are board. When the novelty passes and they usually end up neglected. I would not recommend anything that's in a cage as a pet.
I bought 2 Guinea Pigs from Pass Pets in Knoxville TN before they closed and one of them died before I got it home.
Never buy any animal or anything at petsmart or petco! 4 years ago my boyfriend surprised me with two cute baby rats from Petsmart. This was of course before we knew how horrible it was to buy from pet stores or breeders. They got top notch care from both of us. only the best lab blocks food water tons of attention. We kept them in a huge cage and always washed our hands before handeling them. But… they were extremey sick all the time. They had mycoplasma pneumoniae. This is common in Rats even from breeders. You are lucky to get one that isn't sick. It was heart wrenching to watch their slow death. They only were with us 1 12 years. It also cost $1600 in vet bills. Vets charge the same for small animals as big dogs or cats. Think twice before adopting any animals. Never buy from pet stores or breeders. If you are going to rescue a pet make sure you have the financial and emotional means to care for them as well. It makes me sick what is happening to our furry little friends. This to me is a horrible crime and needs to be illegal.
As horrible as all this is the good news is that PETA is on it and change happens when they investigate these sort of things. Hopefully they can put these guys out of business as they have in the past with other animal abusers. You go PETA!!!!!
Humans appaul me. How dare anyone treat a defenceless animal like this. Why hasnt the US govt intervened with laws against such cruelty.
It's orrible. The men are the animals.. Poor little hammies what a life! I hope this will stopped. God help us
It is very sad that some people have such little regard for life that they feel nothing when treating helpless creatures in this way. PETA does good by exposing this cruelty so that people who love animals can see. We all unknowingly allow these people in the pet tradeindustry to profit from our desire to have animals as pets. We must send our message to anyone who profits from the sale of animals that they have a duty and responsibility to make sure they are obtaining them from reputable breeders who treat them with respect and care. I will be notifying PETCO and PetSmart that they will not have my business until they take measures to be sure they are not obtaining animals from places like the ones exposed by PETA.
I think i threw up a little bit in my mouth it's so bad…..
I am thoroughly disgusted with people who inflict horrible pain and suffering on poor innocent animals. They should not be allowed near an animal of any kind if they don't have compassion for them in fact they should be locked up. There needs to be stiff penalties for people who torture animals. There should be a stop put to animals sold at pet shops. And it's all in the name of greed. SHAME!!
I am beginning to wonder if people who take these jobs love what they do? Like the videos of inhumane treatment in the slaughter houses etc..now defenseless small mammals. There should be some sort of policy to keep these sick individuals away from abusing animals. A way to background check like we do with child abusers etc. Something like this makes me so sick are we not stuards of planet God gave us??
I love peta and all who care for animals. Peta you are great and motivate me to change the world for hampsters and all animals.you are informing the next generation myself included and there will be a day when all the hard work will pay off and we will sleep in peace knowing all animals are safe from humans.
This is the most horrible act of cruelty! I am out raged! I use to buy all my pet supplies from both of them. Not anymore! I have told family and friends to stay away from PetSmart and PETCO! I have passed this on to my facebook friends and have several emails circulating the globe! This has to be stopped!!! The only way we can win is to spread the word and voice the TRUTH to all that will listen also calling the companies corporate office and expressing our concern and anger with the way they treat their animals. PETCO has an "adoption" center for unwanted pets. i.e hamsters There was a hamster in one of their cages that was missing a hind leg. They told me that I could not buy her because of the missing leg. I asked what they would do with her they said she would be put down. There was no need for them to do that she was happy and didnt seem impaired at all. She could run on the wheel eat and play with no problems. I told them if they were going to put her down that I would take her. I had to sign off on paper taking responsibility for her the paper also stated that at no point was I going to blame them for what ever she out come might be. She had a rough life before I came along and she had a very bad future to come if I hadnt taken her. I am so grateful that I did. I took her to the vet and she turned out to be VERY healthy. She lived a full and happy life! Much better than what she would have had if I would have left her. WAY TO GO PETA!!! Thank you for all you guys do!! I became a vegetarian and am thinking of becoming a vegan since I joined your campaigns! Thank you once again!!! And I will keep following this story! And I will be calling PETCO and PetSmart!
Cruelty is fed not weakened by tears so fk those bastards!
Thats so horrible it makes me sick! I can't belive that humans would do this but the proof is in the pictures they are fighting an crowding around for that water! its sick sick sick the employees should have a right mind to tell the proper enforcment but atlas they dont KUDUS PETA !
this is soo disgusting barbarous
I will not be giving any business to Petco or Pestmart from now on and I will certainly let them know why.
This makes me so sad. We don't respect the earth we don't respect animals and we don't respect our food. We're just so ungrateful and it really hurts to see this. Very sad. I hope more legislation changes such offensive and cruel behavior soon. We can only hope.
This pain that they are inflecting on animals has got to stop!!!
It's sad to see such cruel people working with animals who can't defend themselves.. people like them should be treated the same way they treat those poor animals. They make me sick to my stomach… Thoses places should close down now.. nobody has the right to treat animals that way. Hopefully this spreads out more and people learn what happens behind doors with those companies.
It's sad to see such cruel people working with animals who can't defend themselves.. people like them should be treated the same way they treat those poor animals. They make me sick to my stomach… Thoses places should close down now.. nobody has the right to treat animals that way.
It definetly makes your stomach churn!
This is such an inhumane world.Do people really think they can get away with treating God's creation like that? He put us in charge of watching over the animals but instead there is abuse every where we look! The only thing that keeps me involved in animal rights is knowing they will answewr for what they do. The pain of watching these videos reading articles in the paper is overwhelming me but I can't stop if I can save a life.I hope our Creator shows the same degree of mercy that these people have shown to His creation.
thats fking sick how could you do that to an animal
I already called Petco and complained. Petsmart is now closed but i surely will call them in the morning!

With the opulent beauty of the dress and hair design, the sweet smell of perfume, and the clouds of dusting powder rising from the stage, the performance creates a multi-sensual experience and transports the audience into a world of outsized beauty and delight -- but also of overwhelming restrictions and prejudice.

Asian carriers fly higher on luxury
Published: Nov 28, 2011
Asia - Asian airlines are now upgrading their premium services to keep up with the price competition.
Flourishing economies in Asia have created a price-sensitive middle class of frequent travellers, as well as built a growing pool of business and leisure travellers willing to pay full price for airline tickets, according to Andrew Orchard, regional airline analyst at the Royal Bank of Scotland.
Airlines have started catering to this trend, with All Nippon Airways and Singapore Airlines upgrading their first and business class cabins.
Qantas however is having a minimum stake in a premium airline, according to USAToday.
Asia-Pacific is currently the second-largest market in the world with a greater number of affluent people compared to Europe.
While director of the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines in Kuala Lumpur Andrew Herdman said business travellers may still decide to get cheaper tickets for leisure, vp of marketing at Boeing Commercial Airplanes Randy Tinseth believed business and first-class passengers still make up the majority of airline revenues.
Generally, business class drums up to four times more revenue compared to economy class, and international first-class seats could generate up to five to six times more revenue than economy, according to a Boeing estimate.
Business and first class passengers makes up about 40% of total revenue for Singapore Airlines, according to spokesman Nicholas Ionides.
The number of corporate travellers is expected to increase as more Asian economies are forecast to boom over the next few decades, according to Daniel Tsang, founder of Hong Kong-based aviation information and consulting firm Aspire Aviation.

by Robertson Davies
"What's bred in the bone will come out in the flesh: Never was a truer word spoken," a wise old doctor tells the hero of Davies' splendid novel. But there are ironies in this truth about the inescapability of heredity, as there are in everything Davies writes. Hero Francis Cornish has an odd upbringing in a small Canadian town. His grandfather is a wealthy lumberman, growing wealthier. Francis' mother is a beauty, his father a stuffy Englishman. But for love and instruction, Francis is left to an eccentric aunt, the family cook and a coachman who is also the town undertaker, There are terrible family secrets—one hidden in the attic—but Francis is very good at secrets, so good that he becomes an agent for the British in World War II. He is also an artist, starting young with grotesque drawings of his family and the town characters. Some characters in this novel have been in Davies' fiction before, most recently in The Rebel Angels. Bigger than life, they are capable of passion and meanness. Best of all, Davies gives them thoughtful, even philosophical dialogue without succumbing to pedantry. Some scenes are played out right on the edge of farce, and it is easy for a reader to have a silly smile of delight on his face, except when there's something worth crying about. Many Davies novels are in print, but don't hesitate to start with this one. It will send you rushing to read World of Wonders, The Manticore and all the others. (Viking, $17.95)

Technical Details
Teaching Tips
- Assess student preconceptions by having them write them down beforehand, and after the activity return to their preconceptions and modify them.
- Instead of having students read the text material in the introductory activity "Reason for Seasons" (which gives much of the information away), direct the student action orally and have students come to their own conclusions.
- Some good follow-up lessons are suggested.
- The activity states that a common misconception regarding the seasons is not mentioned in Benchmarks for Science Literacy. It is however covered in depth in the AAAS Atlas for Science Literacy, Vol 2. Weather and Climate Map. This map and supporting maps from the Atlas can be reviewed under: http://www.aaas.org/news/press_room/climate_change/mtg_200702/climate_change_guide_2061.pdf.
About the Science
- The graphic ("Cosmic Map") shown is significantly out of scale, potentially fostering one common misconception (Earth is larger than the sun). Educators should stress that the graphic is out of scale on the diagram.
- Activity addresses common misconception about what results in seasons on Earth.
- Comment from scientist: Activity could also connect the tilt to length of day during the seasons because this also impacts how much of the sun's energy is received during different seasons; i.e. the strength of the incoming energy during the day is weaker in winter because it strikes more obliquely, but the days are also shorter. This could lead to discussion to the effect of Earth's tilt, resulting in greater extremes in seasons and amount of daylight closer to the poles than at the equator. For example, the equator has ~12 hours of daylight year round while elsewhere that occurs only at the equinoxes. Also, the north pole and south pole have 6 months of darkness followed by 6 months of daylight.
About the Pedagogy
- Activity is well laid out with good motivation piece and educator background link to Private Universe.
- Much of what goes on is teacher-centered, a series of lecture-demo pieces stitched together by some 3D modeling.
- 3D modeling part of activity is good for kinesthetic learners.
- Rubric for scoring in assessment section is good.
- Recommended extensions are good.
- Contains best practice approach to addressing student misconceptions.

Disciplinary Core Ideas: 2
MS-ESS1.A1:Patterns of the apparent motion of the sun, the moon, and stars in the sky can be observed, described, predicted, and explained with models.
MS-ESS1.B2:This model of the solar system can explain eclipses of the sun and the moon. Earth's spin axis is fixed in direction over the short-term but tilted relative to its orbit around the sun. The seasons are a result of that tilt and are caused by the differential intensity of sunlight on different areas of Earth across the year.
