Sinopse

"Inca Roads" explores the Qhapaq Ñan, the extensive road system that was the backbone of the Inca Empire. This book examines how the Inca civilization, despite lacking the wheel and a written language, constructed an impressive network rivaling Roman roads. It delves into how this ancient engineering marvel facilitated political control, economic development, and the integration of diverse cultures across the Andes.

 
The Qhapaq Ñan wasn't just about transportation; it was a strategic tool for managing a vast empire. The book uncovers the road's construction techniques and its impact on imperial administration, trade, communication, and even religious practices. The Chasqui system, a network of messengers, used the roads to rapidly relay information across the empire, enabling the Inca to govern effectively.

 
"Inca Roads" emphasizes the importance of understanding the Qhapaq Ñan to appreciate the sophistication of Inca society. The book progresses systematically, beginning with the empire's historical context, then detailing the road's construction, its function in various aspects of Inca life, and its lasting legacy.

    In this book 5 key areas are highlighted that will vastly increase your ability to support your child or student with their ADHD. 
    These five areas are: 
    Understanding the signs and symptoms of ADHD 
    Educational support you can put into place 
    Technological support you can access 
    Dietary support for your child’s ADHD 
    The role of exercise in supporting your child with their ADHD 
    In each chapter my role is to provide a good snapshot understanding of what is happening in that space. It is not to provide a comprehensive and detailed analysis and assessment of that area, as the primary role of this book is to ensure that you are able to get started from the get-go with supporting your child/student with their ADHD. I have made footnotes and references for those of you who wish to delve a little further in each area, at your leisure.

    Older Generations - An Overview...

    This book combo contains the following three titles: 
    Boomers Uncovered - "Boomers Uncovered" seeks to explore the life and legacy of the Baby Boomer generation, examining their profound influence on society, culture, and history. Born in the years following World War II, Baby Boomers shaped the world in ways both seen and unseen, leaving an indelible mark on the world stage. This generation, defined by its optimism, resourcefulness, and rapid growth, experienced some of the most transformative decades in modern history. They not only witnessed but were active participants in the cultural, political, and technological revolutions that defined the second half of the 20th century. 
    Life as a Silent Gen - The Silent Generation, born between the mid-1920s and the early 1940s, is often characterized by its quiet strength and resilience. Unlike the more outspoken Baby Boomers or the politically vocal Millennials, members of this generation are sometimes referred to as the “silent” because they were raised in an era where conformity and restraint were the societal norms. Their lives unfolded during some of the most transformative and tumultuous events of the 20th century, including the Great Depression, World War II, and the early stages of the Cold War. 
    The X Factor - Generation X grew up in a rapidly changing world, marked by technological advancements, shifts in family dynamics, and significant political and economic changes. Many Gen Xers were raised during a time of uncertainty, from the economic recessions of the 1970s and early 1980s to the growing divorce rates and the rise of single-parent households. These formative experiences influenced their outlook on life, instilling in them a sense of independence, resilience, and adaptability. As a result, Generation X is often characterized as the "latchkey generation," having to navigate childhood with a degree of self-reliance that was uncommon in earlier times.

    Written by Claire Banks and Mick Waters, A Curious Curriculum: Teaching foundation subjects well details the insightful and transformational steps that a school can take towards designing and delivering a rich, rigorous and wide-ranging curriculum.
    Foreword by Mary Myatt.
    Rather than being a model curriculum that can be uprooted and planted in any school, the book is a model schools can use to design their own curriculum, one that not only encourages children to be active participants in their own learning, but also to see the benefits of being part of a bigger, wider family of learners.
    The authors concentrate on the foundation subjects, particularly history, geography and science but also design and technology (DT) and art and design areas that are often challenging for teachers in primary schools. Subjects are brought together and explored under "big ideas" and, crucially, the emphasis is on avoiding the superficial and trivial and rooting teaching in extending and challenging children.
    In A Curious Curriculum, Claire Banks and Mick Waters share the story of one multi-academy trust (MAT) which designed and delivered a shared educational vision, a rationale for excellence in the curriculum, and the resources and support given to help reduce teachers' workload.
    Claire and Mick present a clear model both for supporting a group of schools or leading one school, offering a fresh perspective on working on a MAT-wide curriculum, as well as providing a range of snapshot examples of the curriculum in action in the form of documents, plans, photos and the learners' own work. The book shares transferrable lessons from the trust's journey to success, setting out an educational philosophy that pairs pedagogy with a well-structured curriculum designed with learners' best interests at its heart.
    All children deserve an engaging, exciting curriculum designed to spark their curiosity, feed their imagination and develop their skills and knowledge. With clear timelines and an honest and transparent dialogue about the challenges and benefits of working together collaboratively and the importance of external expertise, A Curious Curriculum is an essential read for all school leaders.
    Suitable for executive leaders, head teachers, curriculum coordinators and subject leaders in primary school settings.

Oh, and on top of all that...they might not really be a boy or a girl. 
    You can keep subjecting your kids to the poison, or you can bring them home to flourish. This book gives you the pro tips and encouragement to discover what millions of other parents already have: the best thing for their families is to take back control of their lives and their children’s education.

    • You don’t have the patience, organizational skills, or time? 
    • Homeschoolers are just weird! 
    This book dispels those lies and fifteen others that society erroneously believes. Ahead of you awaits a family bond you never imagined possible, and the role of primary guide for your child down the path God created them for.
