  In School Communities of Strength, Peter W. Cookson, Jr., lays out a blueprint for providing equitable educational opportunities for students from all socioeconomic strata, and particularly for the five million American children who live with the extreme material hardship known as deep poverty. This work issues an urgent call to action for K–12 schools to put in place the policies, practices, and programs that enable economically vulnerable students to thrive. 
   
   
   
  Drawing from up-to-date findings in the science of learning and development as well as analyses of schools that serve students in poverty, Cookson pinpoints success strategies that can help schools improve their poverty responsiveness. He shows how these strategies can help educators create the culturally responsive, inclusive environments that provide a base of safety from which students can better engage with their education. 
   
   
   
  Offering astute analysis, Cookson notes that school communities of strength require adequate funding and also meaningful collaboration among families, neighborhood partners, and educators. This book amplifies the idea that communities working together can drive transformative change, and it brings into focus three primary policy initiatives that can advance educational equity.

  The UK’s Cambridge University Ring of Spies were the most dangerous agents the West has known, causing great damage to the intelligence services in the UK and US over more than half a century. Four double agents of the key Ring, Burgess, Maclean, Philby and Blunt were uncovered by 1979. Only two – a husband and wife team – escaped detection. This updated edition of The Fifth Man reveals that the last of the infamous spy ring were Lord (Victor) Rothschild of the grand banking dynasty and his wife Tess. 
  Professor Roland Perry exposes how they became super spies, working concurrently with British Intelligence, the KGB and Mossad. With information from the KGB’s finest master Control, Yuri Modin, devastating testimony from the former head of the KGB and Soviet military intelligence (the GRU), Ivan ‘The Terrible’ Serov, former UK Soviet Embassy spy, Vladimir Barkovsky and a raft of others. 
  After their WW2 espionage for Stalin, which helped defeat Hitler and the Nazis, the brilliantly deceptive Rothschilds went on spying for the Russians well into the Cold War. They contrived in a genius elevation of spy craft to divert suspicion from themselves to the innocent figure of MI5’s Director, Roger Hollis, and a score of others. 
  The Fifth Man update includes thirty more years of deep research in Russia, the UK, the US, France and Australia in the compilation of an extended and compelling narrative. According to the leading publisher of espionage books in the Cold War period, Pan Macmillan’s William Armstrong, this book explained the entire mystery of the main 20th Century British double agents. 
  In an additional expose here, Roland Perry makes a strong case beyond the circumstantial for naming Anthony Blunt, the fourth member of the Ring, as the bastard child of King George V. Blunt was an MI5 agent and curator of the Royal pictures working for his half-brother King George VI, and niece, Queen Elizabeth II.

  A global exploration of the eight remaining species of bears—and the dangers they face. 
   
   
   
  Bears have always held a central place in our collective memory, from Indigenous folklore and Greek mythology to nineteenth-century fairytales and the modern toy shop. But as humans and bears come into ever-closer contact, our relationship nears a tipping point. Today, most of the eight remaining bear species are threatened with extinction. Some, such as the panda bear and the polar bear, are icons of the natural world; others, such as the spectacled bear and the sloth bear, are far less known. 
   
   
   
  In Eight Bears, journalist Gloria Dickie embarks on a globe-trotting journey to explore each bear's story, whisking listeners from the cloud forests of the Andes to the ice floes of the Arctic; from the jungles of India to the backwoods of the Rocky Mountain West. She meets with key figures on the frontlines of modern conservation efforts—the head of a rescue center for sun and moon bears freed from bile farms, a biologist known as Papa Panda, who has led China's panda-breeding efforts for almost four decades, a conservationist retraining a military radar system to detect and track polar bears near towns—to reveal the unparalleled challenges bears face as they contend with a rapidly changing climate and encroaching human populations.
