  The Busybody

  Susanna Centlivre

  • 0

  The Busybody is the most popular comedy by the eighteenth-century playwright Susanna Centlivre. The play centres on two couples trying to form a relationship against the wills of their guardians, and in a battle of wits, playing with many conventions from theatre traditions across the continent, a conclusion is eventually reached.
  Like her predecessor Aphra Behn, Centlivre was immensely successful in her day, drawing huge crowds to extended runs of her numerous plays, but the stabbing male pens of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries decried her work as being louche and dangerous, and her name slowly sunk into obscurity.
  This edition, published with William Hazlitt's prefatory note and extra material on Centlivre's life and writing, seeks to highlight the dexterity with which she took on the stage.

  This timely book moves the dial on the perception of challenging behaviour in schools. De-escalation is important but it is only part of the process: if we really want to change behaviour, we have to understand it.
  The causes of poor behaviour are many and varied: fear, stress, anxiety and the feeling of being overwhelmed can all take their toll.Changing Perceptionsexamines the motives behind challenging behaviour and the consequences that come with it, detailing ways in which these situations can be managed calmly and consistently. Better understanding and empathy can make children feel safer, build their trust, develop belonging and consequently create more effective learners in the classroom.
  Empathy is the master key to unlocking the most challenging pupils. When we consistently respond to children with empathy and compassion, we don't just put a sticking plaster over a problem, we change their experiences: how they feel and how they behave long term. Importantly, this approach also greatly improves staff wellbeing by increasing understanding of challenging behaviour and how it is perceived.
  In this book, Graham sets out why it is so important to teach behaviour and provides practical ways to deal with the most challenging situations in the classroom and stop the conflict spiral. He also covers the importance of validating feelings, building self-esteem, improving emotional resilience, raising expectations, fostering positive values and much more.
  Essential reading for teachers, school leaders and everyone working with challenging behaviour.

  Did you know that the Renaissance is thought of as the gateway to the modern world? 
  The Renaissance was only a short period in European history, but it was the revolution needed to move from the Middle Ages to the modern world. It was full of new philosophies and art, new architecture and inventions, and new governments and churches. In a short span of time, the Europeans found themselves creating, acting, and living in completely new ways. People now had access to new ideas, and Europe would never be the same again. 
  Where did all of this change come from? For years, people have studied parts of the Renaissance. They have focused on a philosopher or an artist. They have focused on church history or politics. But the Renaissance was more than just one person or movement, which is what made it so powerful.

  Free Thought and Official...

  Bertrand Russell

  Russell discusses how governments and institutions use propaganda to shape the beliefs and actions of citizens. He argues that propaganda is often used to create a sense of unity and to suppress dissent, rather than to inform and educate the public. This can lead to a situation where people are unwilling or unable to question the status quo, which can be detrimental to the progress of society. Overall, "Free Thought and Official Propaganda" is a powerful critique of the use of propaganda in society and a passionate defence of free thought. It remains a relevant and thought-provoking essay in today's world, where propaganda and the manipulation of information continue to be pressing issues. Read in English, unabridged.
