    Mobilised by the rousing words and protests of Greta Thunberg, young people all over the globe are calling for more action to combat climate change and better protect their futures. Yet they cannot do this alone. They are reliant on people in positions of power to set the necessary changes in motion - and these people include their own school leaders operating within their own local communities.This book is a rallying cry for all schools to unleash their potential to deliver a brighter future for both their pupils and society at large.David Dixon draws on both his doctoral research and his 20 years' experience as a head teacher to set out how school leaders can embed eco-friendly practices in the day-to-day running of their schools that will also contribute to overall school improvement, including that recognised by inspectors.David weaves his guidance around the 'five Cs of sustainability' - captaincy, curriculum, campus, community and connections - to position sustainability as a natural vehicle for developing a type of fully integrated learning ecology and culture for the benefit of all.The book provides a detailed analysis of where we are now in terms of environmental impact, and lays out a road map to help schools move towards more effective eco-friendly provision. It shares practical examples of sustainability in schools and how these contribute to school improvement in the wider, more conventional sense too. Furthermore, each chapter concludes with a series of suggested strategies to encourage further thought and discussions among school stakeholders.Suitable for school leaders, teachers and teacher trainers - in both primary and secondary settings - and for any professionals who work in schools on environmental education or improvement projects.

    This is a concise summary and analysis of The Fatal Conceit, by Friedrich A. Hayek.
 
It is not the original book and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Friedrich A. Hayek.
Ideal those seeking a quick and insightful overview.
 
The Fatal Conceit delves into the origins and evolution of human society, exploring how spontaneous order and cultural norms emerge organically to create complex systems of cooperation and progress. Challenging the belief that central planning and rational design can surpass the adaptive efficiencies of free markets and traditional practices, the book argues that such "fatal conceit" undermines the very foundations of civilization. This work presents a compelling critique of collectivism, advocating for the preservation of decentralized systems as the key to human flourishing.
