Beschreibung

"Eye-popping" – Sunday Times
"Brilliant" – Iain Dale
***
An unputdownable true account of how a tenacious head teacher led one of the most challenging schools in the country to excellence.
No Excuses charts an extraordinary principal's journey from the moment she took over at a failing secondary school in a deprived area, where less than a quarter of children attained five or more A*–C GCSEs, and how she set about the gruelling task of transforming its reputation using her zero-tolerance, tough-love approach.
Armed only with a wicked sense of humour, fearless energy and a powerful vision, Alison Colwell put in place a stringent set of rules, including a strict uniform policy and a complete ban on mobile phones, provoking resistance and hostility from some parents, the wider community and on social media.
This is the darkly funny, moving story of how, together, teachers and their – often troubled – pupils rebuilt a school and community, with an inspirational head at the helm.
Charming, touching and full of brilliant leadership advice, this is the diary of the woman the Daily Mail labelled Britain's strictest head teacher.

    In The First Fleets, Benjamin C. Schaffer reveals how, contrary to widespread beliefs, the American colonies had a long tradition of independent naval defense decades before the Revolution. He demonstrates that Anglo-American governments established and maintained significant provincial naval forces and that the history of provincial navies illuminates broader aspects of colonial history and the colonies' ultimate break with the British Crown. Based on meticulous research, Schaffer recounts the sea-borne threats that American colonies faced from the French, Spanish, pirates, and others. He reviews colonial governance and the relationships between colonial governments and Great Britain. Highlighting Britain's scant naval power in North America, Schaffer demonstrates how the vulnerable coastal colonies undertook their own self-defense. 
     
     
     
    Schaffer's study offers many fascinating episodes from colonial history. Establishing a navy was controversial in pacifist-minded, Quaker-dominated Pennsylvania. South Carolina deployed its scout-boat navy to pursue enslaved Africans who fled colonial capture. The first paper money issued in North America was an initiative to pay for a naval expedition against French Quebec. These and other episodes show the intimate connection between these little-known provincial navies and the major sociopolitical developments of their day.

    Fire and flood, train wreck and tornado—a look at the many disasters Chicago has endured over the years. 
     
     
      
    The story of Chicago is often likened to that of a phoenix rising out of the ashes of the Great Fire. Yet that infamous event was only part of the destruction that has shaped Chicago's identity. 
     
     
      
    This unique history explores the calamities that have befallen the Windy City, such as the 1954 killer water surge that swept in on a calm summer day; the 1967 tornado that ripped through rush hour traffic; the 1886 Haymarket Square riot that put Chicago on the anarchist map; and many other acts of nature and human folly. As you witness a fireproof theater burn, a flood rise up without rain, and one of the greatest maritime disasters occur within city limits, you'll gain a new appreciation for how this city has endured through unexpected tragedies and produced many unlikely heroes.

    A 36‑lecture audio course on how wars are actually fought in the machine age—from seabed cables and city power grids to low‑Earth orbit, cislunar space, and the neural loop between a human and a weapon. We break the kill chain open: sensing and space‑based cueing; edge compute and target fusion; communications that survive jamming; and the things that do damage—mines, missiles, loitering munitions, directed energy, electromagnetic pulse, and code. 
    We make the stack legible for operators and serious thinkers alike: synthetic aperture radar becomes SAR; high‑altitude long endurance becomes HALE; link budgets and laser crosslinks stop being magic and start being math you can reason about in words. You will see how orbital “stalkers” shadow satellites, why stratospheric platforms matter when air defenses make manned ISR bleed, how decoys and digital camouflage fracture an adversary’s picture, and where the automation boundary really sits when AI runs parts of the kill web with a human on the loop. 
    Engineering reality, not brochure fog, sets the pace. We trace power budgets, attrition math, and reconstitution timelines; map chokepoints in chips, propellants, optics, batteries, and shipyards; and follow sanctions, export controls, and standards as operational constraints, not afterthoughts. 
    The glidepath is explicit. 2025 to 2035: proliferated space, cheap autonomy, hard lessons from electronic warfare. 2035 to 2050: directed‑energy baselines, resilient meshes, smarter decoys. 2050 to 2075 and beyond: cislunar logistics with teeth, human performance management that is governed not ghoulish, brain–computer interfaces that shorten loops without erasing judgment. 
    Rigorous, unsentimental, and built for the intellectually ambitious, this course is an operator’s guide to modern combat systems—how they are built, how they break, and how they win.

    Henry Louis Mencken (September 12, 1880 - January 29, 1956) was an American journalist, essayist, satirist, cultural critic, and scholar of American English. He commented widely on the social scene, literature, music, prominent politicians, and contemporary movements. His satirical reporting on the Scopes Trial, which he dubbed the "Monkey Trial", also gained him attention. The term "Menckenian" has entered multiple dictionaries to describe anything of or pertaining to Mencken, including his combative rhetorical and prose style.
     
    
     
    American journalist, essayist, satirist, and cultural critic, H.L. Mencken makes his 3-pronged case for  the death penalty for those who take the lives of other people, challenging civilized order. Mencken argues the death penalty is a form of catharsis for the immediate victims of the crime, and is not solely for deterring other criminals, but also to give peace of mind to the society that has been wronged.
