  Vikings in the East - From...

  In Western Europe, we typically associate Vikings with the storm-tossed waters of the North Sea and the North Atlantic, the deep Scandinavian fjords and the attacks on the monasteries and settlements of north-western Europe. This popular image rarely includes the river systems of Russia and Ukraine, the wide sweep of the Eurasian steppe, the far shores of the Caspian Sea, the incense and rituals of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the high walls and towers of the city of Constantinople. Yet for many Viking raiders, traders and settlers, it was the road to the East that beckoned.
  These Viking adventurers founded the Norse–Slavic dynasties of the Rus, which are entangled in the bitterly contested origin myths of Russia and Ukraine. The Rus were the first community in the region to convert to Christianity – in its Eastern Orthodox form – and so they are at the heart of the concept of 'Holy Russia'. Russian rulers have frequently referenced these Norse origins when trying to enhance their power and secure control over the Ukrainian lands, most recently demonstrated by Vladimir Putin as his justification for seizing Crimea and invading Ukraine.
  In this fascinating and timely book, historian Martyn Whittock explores the important but often misunderstood and manipulated role played by the Vikings in the origins of Russian power, the deadly consequences of which we are still living with today.

  A Teacher's Guide to Learning...

  If teachers want an inclusive, engaging classroom, they must learn their students' names. Sound advice, but rarely does it come with practical guidance—which is precisely what this book offers. Eschewing the random tips and mnemonic tricks that invariably fall short, Michelle D. Miller offers teachers a clear explanation of what is really going on when we learn a name, and a science-based approach for using this knowledge to pedagogical advantage. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on a background in the psychology of language and memory, Miller gives a lively overview of the surprising science of learning proper names, along with an account of why the practice is at once so difficult and yet so critical to effective teaching. She then sets out practical techniques for learning names. In her discussion of certain factors that can make learning names especially challenging, Miller pays particular attention to neurodivergence and the effects of aging on this form of memory. A Teacher's Guide to Learning Student Names lays out strategies for putting these techniques into practice, suggests technological aids and other useful resources, and explains how to make name learning a core aspect of one's teaching practice. 
   
   
   
  This concise guide provides teachers of all disciplines and levels an invaluable tool for creating a welcoming and productive learning environment.

  Beyond The Score - Lessons...

  Modern life runs on scores. Metrics, rankings, productivity targets, engagement numbers, and performance systems quietly shape what we value and how we judge ourselves. Over time, these measurements promise clarity and motivation—but often leave us anxious, exhausted, and disconnected from what truly matters. 
  Beyond the Score is a reflective companion book built around the lessons and insights drawn from modern philosophical thinking about games, value, and measurement. It is written for readers who were challenged by a recent philosophy bestseller—and now want to explore what those ideas mean for real life. 
  Rather than summarizing or repeating another work, this book distills the lessons learned from contemporary philosophy into thoughtful reflections, practical wisdom, and clear frameworks for everyday decision-making. It explores how institutions, platforms, and systems increasingly define success for our work, bodies, creativity, and sense of worth—and what it costs when we accept those definitions without question. 
  Across work, health, ambition, and identity, Beyond the Score invites readers to examine how external metrics can quietly replace personal judgment. It shows how scores can motivate without meaning, how achievement can lose its satisfaction, and how success can feel empty when the rules were never chosen in the first place. 
  This book does not argue against structure, goals, or ambition. Instead, it helps readers reclaim agency—learning how to use metrics without being ruled by them, how to participate without surrendering values, and how to pursue excellence without turning life into a performance. 
  Written for curious thinkers, professionals, creatives, and readers drawn to philosophy that speaks to modern life, Beyond the Score centers on one powerful question: 
  Is this the game you really want to be playing?
