Summary

Riverfront Cities delves into the crucial intersection of urban development and riverfronts, highlighting how cities can harness these natural resources for economic growth and enhanced recreational opportunities. The book emphasizes the need for a holistic approach considering economic viability, environmental sustainability, and community engagement.

 
Discover how successful riverfront development can significantly impact a city's financial health, as seen in case studies like the Cheonggyecheon River restoration, where land value appreciation and tourism revenue generation played key roles. Exploring interwoven concepts of urban economics and architectural design, the book analyzes various global case studies, contrasting successful and unsuccessful projects. It argues that successful riverfronts must be economically viable and aesthetically pleasing.

 
A key insight is that prioritizing short-term economic gains over long-term ecological health can lead to failure, underscoring the importance of urban resilience and environmental sustainability. The book progresses through three sections: an introduction to riverfront economics, detailed case studies, and best practice recommendations. It offers actionable strategies for cities aiming to revitalize their waterfronts, addressing critical issues like climate change and its impact on adaptive designs. By integrating economic and architectural perspectives, Riverfront Cities provides valuable insights for urban planners, architects, policymakers, and anyone interested in creating vibrant, sustainable urban waterfronts.

    Unlock a calmer, more functional home in just a few days—even if clutter has overwhelmed you for years or routines never stick. If the thought of decluttering leaves you paralyzed, unsure where to start, or frustrated by systems that fall apart the moment life gets unpredictable, you’re not alone. Traditional organizing advice rarely fits the way an ADHD brain works, which is why this guide replaces shame with compassion and gives you clear, ADHD-friendly tools that actually work. 
    Inside ADHD Decluttering Mastery, you’ll discover the micro-step method for turning overwhelming projects into small wins, plus 7 flexible routines that adapt to real-world chaos. Learn how to use body doubling and dopamine hacks to get started, even with low motivation, and move past guilt and shame with scripts that address the emotional side of clutter. 
    You’ll get room-by-room strategies for bedrooms, kitchens, living areas, and more—along with visual checklists, flowcharts, and cue cards for hands-on learners. Explore permission-based organizing systems that don’t require minimalism, practical paper and digital clutter fixes, and “messy middle” stories from ADHD adults who found long-term success. 
    You’ll also learn how to manage distractions, avoid task paralysis, and use reset rituals for those moments when everything slips (because life happens). With self-compassion tools, low-spoon motivation hacks, and conversation scripts for communicating your systems to others, you’ll create a home that feels calm, supportive, and aligned with your wellbeing—not someone else’s Pinterest ideal. 
    Created by someone who lives with ADHD, this guide avoids unrealistic rules and helps you start as small as you need while still making real progress. If you lose momentum, built-in resets will help you get back on track without judgment. 
    Get ready to clear the clutter, quiet the chaos, and reclaim your space.

    Written by Kamalagita Hughes, The Mindful Teacher's Handbook: How to step out of busyness and find peace is a practical guide to mindfulness that will empower teachers and school staff to take better care of their well-being and find calm in the day-to-day hustle and bustle of the school setting.
    When we're on an aeroplane, the on-board safety instructions tell us that in the event of an emergency we should put on our own oxygen mask first - and only then help those around us. The same is true for well-being: we need to look after ourselves in order to be a resource for others. This is especially the case in busy, high-pressure environments such as our classrooms and schools, where burnout is a real concern for teachers and leaders, who all too often relegate their own self-care to the bottom of the to-do list.
    The Mindful Teacher's Handbook is a practical and engaging resource to help everyone in schools bring mindfulness into their lives in a meaningful way. Mindfulness practice offers simple, straightforward strategies for finding peace and regaining perspective, and has a solid body of evidence that attests to its efficacy. In this book, Kamalagita Hughes provides a lively and engaging blend of top tips, research evidence, case studies, guided meditations and suggested exercises for all - both for those new to mindfulness and for those who want to refresh their practice.
    Providing a thorough, grounded understanding of mindfulness and its benefits for the school community, the book explores the links between well-being and education and sets out how improved staff and student well-being can cultivate a better teaching and learning environment for all. Kamalagita offers practical strategies that school staff can put into practice straight away - both for their own well-being and that of their pupils - including insightful case studies on how best to bring mindfulness to your school.
    Suitable for teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders.

    Students learning modern foreign languages often comment that it is just too hard to learn, and remember, all of vocabulary presented to them. Yes, there is a lot of content that needs to be covered, and a lot of vocabulary that needs to be learned. But there is a way of making this process engaging and motivating. Language lessons needn't be full of grammar worksheets, endless drilling and rote learning lists of vocabulary.
    Learning languages isn't always fun and games. But these aren't games; they are fun learning activities. And they can help revolutionise language teaching; enabling teachers to authoritatively impart knowledge while fostering a thirst for knowledge and love of learning in their students.
    First, the Vocab Fun Learning Activities (VFLAs) learn the vocabulary in ways which will improve recognition and recall. Then, the Fun Learning Activities use this vocabulary knowledge to build sentences and paragraphs; explore and use this language while keeping the whole class engaged and actively learning. The activities are designed to encourage all students to participate and learn more through enjoyment.
    Based on the author's extensive classroom experience, and underpinned by research into how students learn best, each activity comes complete with a detailed explanation and plenty of ideas for variations, differentiations and extensions.

However, the activities will work effectively in any language and with any vocabulary list of the teacher's choosing, and can be adapted to suit every topic, learning objective and age range.
    Discover ready to use activities which will make for outstanding lessons in every class and ensure engagement, motivation, rapport, progress and attainment over time.
