"The Miller's Tale resource seems very good to me. It is clear and informative, and has a good focus on the examination requirements. Obviously, as the author suggests himself, there are one or two debatable, or even contentious, ideas, but that is inevitable and will raise interest and discussion. I will certainly use it to help my own teaching, and will give many of the notes to the students.Keith Johnson, Redditch
