Summary

"Civil Wars" explores the complex phenomenon of nations turning against themselves, examining the root causes and devastating consequences of internal conflicts throughout history. From the American Civil War to more recent crises in Rwanda and Syria, the book analyzes how political instability, socioeconomic disparities, and ideological clashes converge to ignite these conflicts. It highlights the critical role of state failure and elite manipulation in escalating tensions, emphasizing the importance of understanding early warning signs to prevent future outbreaks of violence.

 
A key insight is that civil wars are not random, but stem from specific historical, social, and political conditions, including legacies of colonialism and Cold War proxy conflicts. The book also delves into the immense human cost, detailing displacement, famine, and psychological trauma suffered by civilian populations.

 
It progresses by introducing key concepts, presenting detailed case studies, and analyzing the role of international actors and challenges of post-conflict peacebuilding. By drawing on diverse sources and offering a multidisciplinary perspective, "Civil Wars" provides a balanced account of these complex events, offering valuable insights for policymakers, scholars, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the forces driving internal conflict across the globe.

    In Nourishing Caregiver Collaborations, Nawal Qarooni invites us to step beyond school-centric, one-off events and practices to create more authentic, engaging collaborations with caregivers. Instead of asking what families can do to support schools, Qarooni asks how schools can identify and celebrate what families already bring to their children's literacy learning. Establishing this work in holistic teaching, Qarooni explores five critical literacy tenets by highlighting opportunities to listen for, honor, connect to, and elevate family strengths while inviting them further into our shared work and encouraging reflection around: 
 
 
 
● Recognizing the journey of process 
 
 
 
● Celebrating the role collaboration plays within the collective 
 
 
 
● Using observational literacy to read the world 
 
 
 
● Advocating for the power of talk to grow ideas and connect 
 
 
 
● Giving children choice to make self-directed decisions 
 
 
 
With moments of memoir woven in alongside diverse family examples and classroom stories, Qarooni shows how families contribute meaningfully to their children's literacy lives. Discover how we can tap into those vast wells to support learning at home and in school.

    Embedded within military intelligence and communications, wartime cryptography was a man’s world filled with engineers, mathematicians, statisticians, military tacticians, political scientists, and linguists. But women working top-secret desk jobs played an integral role. They helped shorten the length of the war, saving countless lives in the process. 
Bringing to light the quiet heroism of female code breakers of WWII, learn about these exceptional women who saved lives and changed the tide of the greatest war in human history. 
Even as they applied themselves to complicated counterintelligence work and labored daily alongside their male colleagues, they fought an uphill battle on many different fronts, inside and outside the office. 
Their stories and accomplishments have remained firmly under the radar—often missing from official documentation, history books, public lore, and public awareness. 
The British feat of breaking the German Enigma code at Bletchley Park has been celebrated in popular culture in various books and movies, but the stories of many women who worked to break codes in the complex world of cryptography remain relatively untold. 
Learn the true stories of female code breakers whose top-secret work helped win World War II, including: 
●      Elizebeth Friedman, Joan Clarke, Violet MacKenzie and other great minds working for the Allied forces from the US, UK and Australia—all trailblazers in the field of cryptography 
●      a simple rundown on cryptography as a science, the history of its use, and what it took to break wartime codes 
●      the legacy of these exceptional women, and the impact of their work. 
Despite the constant need to prove themselves, these brilliant women never thought of themselves as heroes.

    Two pioneering researchers identify key causes of workplace burnout and reveal what managers can do to promote increased productivity and health. 
 
 
 
Citing a wealth of research data and drawing on illustrative anecdotes, The Burnout Challenge shows how organizations can change to promote sustainable productivity. Christina Maslach and Michael P. Leiter provide useful tools for identifying the signs of employee burnout, most often exhaustion, cynicism, and ineffectiveness. They also advise managers on assembling and interpreting worker self-evaluation surveys, which can reveal workplace problems and potential solutions. And when it comes to implementing change, Maslach and Leiter offer practical, evidence-driven guidance. The key, they argue, is to begin with less-taxing changes that employees nonetheless find meaningful, seeding the ground for more thorough reforms in the future. 
 
 
 
Experts estimate that more than $500 billion and 550 million workhours are lost annually to on-the-job stress, much of it caused by dysfunctional work environments. As priorities and policies shift across workplaces, The Burnout Challenge provides pragmatic, creative, and cost-effective solutions to improve employee efficiency, health, and happiness.
