We've been a bit busy lately with the first of our handover dates looming sooner than we'd like, but there are always other things to think about. For example, although we have a name for our module: Analytical Science: health, heritage and environments (note the plural), we have to come up with titles for each book.
Book 1 is about health, food and drugs. It's provisionally called Analytical science for life and health. Book 2 is about space, heritage and the environment (singular). It's provisionally called Analytical science to enrich our lives.
It took us a LONG time to establish the module name. After many hours arguing, we polled those who might actually end up teaching it to come up with something functional yet snappy. We had to think about whether it was plain English so people know what it is about, and whether it will get lots of useful hits on Google. Do we need to do that with each book? We haven't decided, but one member of the course team has suggested:
Book 1: Analytical science in sickness and in health
Book 2: Analytical science for richer or poorer
An equally sensible approach, and in highly scientific fashion, I've used the fantasy novel book title generator to come up with some ideas. We've been offered the following options:
Book 1: The Stolen Ship, The Bone of Linoleum, The Sorceress of the Renegade or the Tattoo in the Thought
(Using the terms: analytical, science, health, food, drugs, screening)
Book 2: The Age's Empire, The Solstice of the Destiny, The Out Adventure or the Chaos of the Place
(Using the terms analytical, science, heritage, space, environment)
The latter pretty much sums things up I think. Done deal.
I like The Sorceress of the Renegade for Book 1 and Chaos of the Place for Book 2 as it says it all :-)
