  In this profoundly useful work, Janet Patti and Robin Stern make the case for social-emotional learning (SEL) as part of a critical skill set for K–12 school leaders, and they offer coaching on how to integrate emotional intelligence into leadership practices. Patti and Stern draw on recent research from psychology and education, as well as their combined forty years of experience in the fields of SEL and leadership training, to highlight the many benefits of SEL-focused professional development for superintendents, principals, and aspiring school leaders. They also give listeners the tools to develop their own SEL skills. 
   
   
   
  Emotional Intelligence for School Leaders outlines key SEL skills, from mindfulness and self-management to relationship building and conflict resolution, and details how each can be applied in a leadership context. Case studies of a variety of successful educational leaders who employ positive psychology in their work illustrate the strategies they used to cultivate and apply their own SEL skills. 
   
   
   
  This encouraging book underscores how teams that lead with self-awareness and empathy can promote well-being, foster resilience, and prevent burnout among educators and ultimately increase equity in the education system.

  This book has a message for everyone concerned about the direction of politics in Scotland, the UK and beyond: do not despair. There are realistic, left alternatives to being stuck in a political 'doom loop'. 
  In 1975 the Red Paper on Scotland, edited by the young, radical Gordon Brown was a seminal publication; it helped create, not just catch, the mood of the day.  
  Fifty years later a new group of writers have come together to write about what we can learn from the past and how we can shape what lies ahead. 
  The authors of this book believe only a radical redistribution of wealth and power within a democratic economy will engage Scottish voters. It calls on us to Keep Left.

  The Anti-Christ

  Drawing on the source language in Hebrew and Greek, rather than the many translations & mistranslations, this work explains how the common interpretation of the Scriptures strayed far from what was intended. They explore how the original meaning of the Biblical texts was deliberately muddled by the Roman Emperor Constantine and the council of Nicaea of 325 AD. 
  George W. Carey (1845-1924) was an American occultist, homeopath, and writer, who combined religion, astrology, and chemistry to extrapolate what he believed was the true meaning of the life of Christ, the true nature of the human body, and the true nature of humanity.
