In most mythological systems, gods create; however, in American Gods, Gaiman presents a world in which human beings create gods. The deities require human belief, sacrifice, and/or worship in order to survive. The Old Gods, who are no longer worshipped, have lost power and solidity over the years. Although they still have some special abilities, they can be killed and destroyed much like

    Celebrating Teachers: Making a difference, written by Gary Toward and Chris Henley, is a feel-good celebration of all that is great about teachers and teaching - and an exploration of the difference teachers make and how they do it.
    Forewords by Ben Bailey Smith (aka Doc Brown) and Sir Anthony Seldon.
    Gary Toward and Chris Henley believe that teaching is the best and most important profession. Now, you might argue that it would be medicine that should take that accolade - as medics save lives and mend people. But teachers create lives and 'make' people. They, in fact, create medics!
    This book celebrates the superhero of the classroom: the teacher.
    Teachers make a difference, and often that difference is life-changing. In this book, Gary and Chris look at some of the many cases where such a difference has been made and examine exactly what it was that made such an impact on the life of the young person - and they also highlight the key approaches that teachers might want to try out in their own classroom, with their own pupils.
    The authors link the real-life case study stories to what educational research and cognitive science tell us, and point the way for all teachers to adopt, adapt and develop these effective strategies and approaches in their own practice.
    And, in sharing these inspiring stories, Gary and Chris hope to offer an antidote to the negativity that too often circulates in the media around education and the teaching profession.
    An uplifting and insightful read for all teachers and educators.
