Synopsis

In "Moving the Mountain, Herland & With Her in Ourland," Charlotte Perkins Gilman weaves a compelling narrative that critiques early 20th-century society while envisioning a future founded on feminist ideals. Combining elements of utopian fiction with social commentary, Gilman's trilogy explores the consequences of gender inequality and the potential for a harmonious society devoid of patriarchal constraints. Through her eloquent prose and vivid imagery, she invites readers to engage with her innovative concepts of matriarchy and cooperative living, drawing from contemporary reform movements and the suffrage quest of her time. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a prominent feminist writer and social reformer, emerged from a background rich in progressive thought. Her own experiences, including a struggle against the confines of traditional marriage and her subsequent mental health challenges, fueled her desire to advocate for women's autonomy and social responsibility. "Moving the Mountain, Herland & With Her in Ourland" reflects her keen intellectual engagement with the sociopolitical issues of her era and her commitment to envisioning a better world for women. This trilogy is a must-read for those interested in feminist literature, social utopias, and historical perspectives on gender roles. Gilman's thought-provoking narratives encourage profound reflection on societal norms and invite readers to consider the transformative power of collective female agency.

    The Middle East, a region at the crossroads of Africa, Asia, and Europe, has a complex and multifaceted history that has shaped its modern political and social dynamics. Understanding the historical background of this area is essential for grasping the causes of its current conflicts, including the Gulf Wars. The region’s significance goes beyond its geographical location; it is home to some of the world’s oldest civilizations, such as the Sumerians, Egyptians, and Persians, which laid the foundation for much of human civilization, particularly in terms of writing, law, and governance. 
    The historical trajectory of the Middle East has been deeply influenced by the rise and fall of empires. In ancient times, the region was dominated by powerful empires such as the Persian Empire and the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire, in particular, played a central role in shaping the political landscape of the Middle East for over 400 years. Its collapse after World War I marked the beginning of a new era, characterized by the creation of modern nation-states and the imposition of arbitrary borders by Western powers. The dismantling of the Ottoman Empire led to the carving up of its territories under the Sykes-Picot Agreement, a secret 1916 accord between Britain and France that laid the groundwork for many of the modern-day conflicts in the region. 
    The aftermath of World War I also saw the emergence of European mandates in the Middle East. The British and French took control of territories such as Iraq, Palestine, and Syria, which created tensions among various ethnic and religious groups. The artificial borders drawn by colonial powers failed to account for the region's complex social fabric, where multiple ethnicities, religions, and cultures coexisted. This imposition of external governance set the stage for future conflicts, as regional communities struggled for autonomy and independence.

    'I know that what I've learnt in the past two years will help me for the rest of my life. My hope is that you will see yourself reflected in my own journey, and . . . consider who you will become in this new world of ours. Who we all might become.'
    If you're suffering from a crisis of meaning, you're not alone. In this powerful new book, future strategist John Sanei shares how he found ways to cope with the uncertainty that has been all around us in the past two years. Lockdown meant his career came to a screeching halt. He was living with his parents and then had to battle loneliness until he started to reassess who he was and what he wanted from life.
    Infused with empathy and personal anecdote, Who Do We Become? explores our individual responsibility to evolve into more decent, dynamic versions of ourselves, our businesses and humanity as a whole – especially in times of crisis.
    The book is divided into three sections. In Part 1: ANGUISH, John explores how to courageously mourn the loss of our 'normal' pre-COVID world. Part 2: ABNORMAL, shows us how to understand this new environment and recognise that uncertainty is the new normal. Then, in Part 3: ADVENTURE, John provides a toolkit for us to forge out into the new world, to succeed and recognise the signs of rebirth and renewal.
    Travel with John as he maps out our strange, new world and lays down a path to reframe our thinking, to recognise our discomfort, to survive and thrive.

    If teachers want an inclusive, engaging classroom, they must learn their students' names. Sound advice, but rarely does it come with practical guidance—which is precisely what this book offers. Eschewing the random tips and mnemonic tricks that invariably fall short, Michelle D. Miller offers teachers a clear explanation of what is really going on when we learn a name, and a science-based approach for using this knowledge to pedagogical advantage. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on a background in the psychology of language and memory, Miller gives a lively overview of the surprising science of learning proper names, along with an account of why the practice is at once so difficult and yet so critical to effective teaching. She then sets out practical techniques for learning names. In her discussion of certain factors that can make learning names especially challenging, Miller pays particular attention to neurodivergence and the effects of aging on this form of memory. A Teacher's Guide to Learning Student Names lays out strategies for putting these techniques into practice, suggests technological aids and other useful resources, and explains how to make name learning a core aspect of one's teaching practice. 
     
     
     
    This concise guide provides teachers of all disciplines and levels an invaluable tool for creating a welcoming and productive learning environment.
