Sinopsis

"Freedom of Speech: A Global History of Expression and Suppression" offers a compelling journey through the evolution of free expression, from ancient civilizations to today's digital landscape. This comprehensive exploration reveals how this fundamental right has been shaped by cultural, political, and technological forces throughout history, demonstrating that while often considered universal, freedom of speech has always been influenced by its context and era.The book masterfully weaves together three main threads: historical foundations beginning with Classical Athens, twentieth-century developments, and contemporary challenges. Through examination of pivotal moments like the invention of the printing press and the creation of the First Amendment, it illustrates how each period contributed to modern free speech principles. The narrative particularly shines in its analysis of how different societies have balanced open dialogue with social order, using extensive historical documents and court cases to support its findings.Moving from historical foundations to present-day challenges, the work tackles pressing issues such as digital platform governance, hate speech regulation, and state surveillance. Its interdisciplinary approach combines legal analysis, historical research, and comparative political study, making complex concepts accessible to both scholars and general readers. By examining free speech through the lens of social movements, wartime restrictions, and human rights frameworks, the book provides crucial context for understanding contemporary debates about expression rights in our increasingly interconnected world.

    The American Revolution is replete with seminal moments that every American learns in school, from the “shot heard ‘round the world” to the Declaration of Independence, but the events that led up to the fighting at Lexington & Concord were borne out of 10 years of division between the British and their American colonies over everything from colonial representation in governments to taxation, the nature of searches, and the quartering of British regulars in private houses. From 1764-1775, a chain of events that included lightning rods like the Townshend Acts led to bloodshed in the form of the Boston Massacre, while the Boston Tea Party became a symbol of nonviolent protest.  
    	The political and military nature of the Revolutionary War was just as full of intrigue. While disorganized militias fought the Battles of Lexington & Concord, George Washington would lead the Continental Army in the field while men like Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia and Benjamin Franklin negotiated overseas in France. Benedict Arnold would become one of his nation’s most vital war heroes and its most notorious traitor, French forces would play a crucial role at the end of the war, and the Treaty of Paris would conclude the Revolution with one last great surprise.  
    	Perhaps not surprisingly, the Revolution was far more complex than often depicted, both demographically and politically. Not all the British colonies in North America joined the rebel colonies - East and West Florida remained British (although Britain almost lost both to Spain), while the Bahamas, Bermuda, and the Caribbean colonies remained in the empire. The colonies in what is now Canada also remained loyal, namely Quebec, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Rupert’s Land.

    This combo consists of 3 short books, which are about the following topics: 
    1 - Assyria, frequently referred to as the Assyrian Empire, was a Mesopotamian kingdom and empire in the Ancient Near East that lasted from maybe the 25th century BC (in the form of the Assur city-state till its collapse between 612 BC and 605 BC, covering the Early to Middle Bronze Age to the Late Iron Age. 
    The Early Period (which was from about 2500 to 2025 BC), Old Assyrian Empire (2025 to 1378 BC), Middle Assyrian Empire (from 1392 to 934 BC), and Neo-Assyrian Empire (911 to 605 BC) are the 4 periods that comprise the Assyrian Empire. 
    2 - Whether you have played a Prince of Persia video game, seen the movie, or just heard about it in history class, it is hard to ignore the Persian Empire, which was among the greatest empires of the world for some time. 
    The typical area for the Persian Empire was what is now Iran. The Persians had a vast influence on surrounding countries and regions. Their style, art, music, rule, and culture has had an influence on the development of science and the forming of nations. 
    3 - Ur was a considerable Sumerian city-state in old Mesopotamia, situated near modern-day "Tell el-Muqayyar" in the Dhi Qar Governorate in southern Iraq. Ur was formerly a seaside city on the Persian Gulf, near the mouth of the Euphrates, but the shoreline has modified, and the city is now well inland, on the south bank of the Euphrates, sixteen kilometers (about 9.9 miles) from Nasiriyah in modern-day Iraq.

    Foreword by Dr Andy Daly-Smith.
    We already know that increased physical activity and a reduction in the sedentary time spent sitting at desks have wide-ranging benefits (including to brain function), so what if there were also evidence that using movement in the learning process improves outcomes for children? What if we could then map out ways to support teachers in adapting their practice to make this a reality?
    In How to Move & Learn Bryn Llewellyn, Ian Holmes and Richard Allman do just that - sharing the latest research from around the world and providing teachers with the means and motivation to identify opportunities to integrate movement purposefully into the teaching and learning process.
    The links between health and education are paramount, and this book explores these connections and presents a wealth of ideas, activities and resources to help teachers unlock the potential of the school and outdoor environments for learning across all curriculum subjects.
    Suitable for all primary school teachers and leaders.
