Casa editrice: Independent Thinking Press

Sinossi

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.

"Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth" by Reza Aslan explores the historical context of Jesus's life, positioning him within the turbulent political and religious landscape of first-century Palestine. The book examines Jesus as a Jewish man, a potential revolutionary, rather than solely as a divine figure. It delves into the social conditions, Roman occupation, and messianic expectations that shaped Jesus’s ministry, challenging traditional interpretations of his actions and teachings. The author traces how the early Christian movement evolved after Jesus's death, highlighting the conflicts between the original Jewish followers and the later gentile converts, particularly through the contrasting figures of James and Paul. The work emphasizes the political dimensions of Jesus's life and death and how they are reshaped by the gospel writers.
