  In How We See Us, Michaela Leslie-Rule amplifies the voices of young people approaching adulthood as they consider their experiences, needs, and goals for their education, early careers, and lives. Leslie-Rule encourages adults who support young people to listen more closely to youth voices so that their perspectives are centered in interventions made on their behalf. 
   
   
   
  Based on in-depth interviews, surveys, and focus groups of nearly 4,000 students from Black and Hispanic communities and low-income households in both urban and rural regions across the United States, the book finds thoughtful self-reflection and an optimistic mindset in the stories of the youths' successes and challenges. The rich accounts of how they experience their identities, communities, education, and employment refute dominant narratives that so often frame their abilities in terms of deficits and that suggest that young people, and students of color especially, live in a perpetual state of crisis. 
   
   
   
  Leslie-Rule advocates for listening more deeply to young people and provides a framework to improve practice. Such consideration, she argues, enables educators, policymakers, and researchers to better address the barriers students experience in building and navigating pathways to education, career, and adulthood.

  Survival of the Virtuous - The...

  Do good guys finish last? Did we evolve to look out for number one? Are we bad by nature? At first glance, the theory of evolution seems to imply that all organisms are evolved to be selfish. 
   
   
   
  In this book, evolutionary psychologist Dennis Krebs explains how virtuous behaviors such as altruism, justice, honesty, loyalty, self-control, purity, and respect for authority, have evolved in humans and other species. He argues that the key to solving puzzles of morality—such as what it is, how we acquire moral traits, why we sometimes behave badly, and how we make moral decisions—lies in figuring out what adaptive functions moral traits served in early human environments and how they are influenced by social learning, culture, and strategic social interactions in the modern world. Arguing that the primary function of virtuous behaviors is to enable individuals to advance their own interests and examining the moral decision-making mechanisms that evolved to serve these functions, this book considers the "new brain" mechanisms that are unique to humans and "old brain" mechanisms that we share with other species, illuminating how these work in conjunction with each other to guide our moral choices.

  The BRAND NEW final instalment in Adam Lofthouse's epic Enemy of the Empire trilogy. ⚔️ If you like Matthew Harffy and Ben Kane, you will love this! 
  And so we have reached the end of my tale. But what are endings if not new beginnings? 
  Alaric has been home for a year. He went north and saved the Cimbri, just as he said he would. But the cost has been higher than he ever thought. A shadow of the War Lord he once was, he now trades in amber and dotes on his children. 
  A simple life. And with it, contentment. But he knew this couldn’t last forever; peace isn’t for someone like him, and sure enough trouble finds him once again. A routine journey south turns into a new and unknown wave of danger as red-cloaked legionaries attack, causing confusion and carnage. 
  Warriors dressed as Romans have been scouring the country, slaughtering innocent people, and leaving Roman footprints wherever they march. But things are not what they seem, and it falls to Alaric to don his armour once more, and march his Ravensworn in pursuit of a mysterious enemy that could destabilise his world beyond repair.

  The Unbroken Reich - What If...

  As World War I raged across Europe, 1917 emerged as the critical year that could have determined the war’s ultimate outcome. In our reality, the entry of the United States and the crumbling of the Eastern Front led to Germany’s eventual defeat. But what if events had unfolded differently? A few pivotal moments could have swung the war in Germany’s favor, altering the course of history entirely. 
  One of the most significant factors was the failure of the German spring offensives in 1918. If these attacks had broken through Allied lines, Germany might have forced Britain and France to negotiate peace before American troops arrived in full strength. The Germans, under General Ludendorff, came close to achieving this, but logistical challenges and the resilience of the Allies ultimately led to exhaustion on the German side. Had Germany secured victory on the Western Front in early 1918, a new Europe could have emerged under German dominance. 
  Another key element was the Russian Revolution. With the fall of the Tsar and the rise of the Bolsheviks, Russia exited the war, allowing Germany to shift troops westward. However, if Germany had been able to negotiate a more favorable peace with Russia earlier—perhaps by supporting a less radical government—it could have stabilized the Eastern Front sooner, securing vital resources and preventing the chaotic collapse that followed. A stable Russian ally or puppet state could have relieved Germany’s strategic burden and ensured long-term control over Eastern Europe.
