  The characteristics of school leaders who are appointed merely on the instructions of their superiors differ significantly from those of principals who enter the profession out of a deep sense of calling. Leaders appointed by directive often carry out their responsibilities as an obligation or administrative duty, focusing primarily on compliance and fulfilling external expectations. Their authority is derived from positional power rather than intrinsic motivation. In contrast, school principals who assume their role on the basis of personal calling demonstrate a greater sense of commitment, passion, and responsibility for the growth of both students and teachers. Their leadership is not confined to administrative functions but extends to fostering a vision, building a positive culture, and inspiring others. The difference becomes evident in the way they make decisions, manage challenges, and build relationships within the school community. Ultimately, this divergence can be traced back to their initial motivations: while one group enters education out of necessity or appointment, the other chooses the path because of a genuine dedication to the educational mission. The women in this book remind us that leadership is not about power, it is not about status,  it is about service, it is about the courage to balance logic with compassion. Through their vision, education is transformed.

  The One Armed Whiskey Man of...

  The One Armed Whiskey Man of Jackass Canyon daylights a newly excavated vein in the Golden State of mind. It follows the unbelievably true life and times of accidental California pioneer Thomas D Carneal III. His prominent Northern Kentucky clan carved an ironic notch into the whiskey rebellion of 1790's and beyond. Out of the blue, tragedy struck, and the family legacy ricocheted off to the wilds of 1850’s Northern California, landing on a historic rancho, shortly after California statehood. It’s a fun, whiskey fueled romp that details a broad swath of Nor Cal history from the Gilded Age to the Progressive Era. This unbelievably true story concludes with the zeitgeist of creative lawlessness rampant in 1920’s Bay Area, where prohibition just never caught on.  A companion PDF is available on select platforms that provides historical photos relating to each chapter.

  Economics for Humans - Second...

  At its core, an economy is about providing goods and services for human well-being. But many economists and critics preach that an economy is something far different: a cold and heartless system that operates outside of human control. In this impassioned and perceptive work, Julie A. Nelson asks a compelling question: given that our economic world is something that we as humans create, aren’t ethics and human relationships—dimensions of a full and rich life—intrinsically part of the picture? 
   
  Economics for Humans argues against the well-ingrained notion that economics is immune to moral values and distant from human relationships. Here, Nelson locates the impediment to a more considerate economic world in an assumption that is shared by both neoliberals and the political left. Despite their seemingly insurmountable differences, both make use of the metaphor, first proposed by Adam Smith, that the economy is a machine. This pervasive idea, Nelson argues, has blinded us to the qualities that make us work and care for one another—qualities that also make businesses thrive and markets grow. We can wed our interest in money with our justifiable concerns about ethics and social well-being. And we can do so if we recognize that an economy is not a machine, but a living thing in need of attention and careful tending.  
   
  This second edition has been updated and refined throughout, with expanded discussions of many topics and a new chapter that investigates the apparent conflict between economic well-being and ecological sustainability. Further developing the main points of the first edition, Economics for Humans will continue to both invigorate and inspire readers to reshape the way they view the economy, its possibilities, and their place within it.

  The True History of Merlin the...

  A medieval historian examines what we really know about the man who was "Merlin the Magician" and his impact on Britain. 
   
   
   
  The historical Merlin was no rough magician: he was a learned figure from the cutting edge of medieval science and adept in astrology, cosmology, prophecy, and natural magic, as well as being a seer and a proto-alchemist. His powers were convincingly real—and useful, for they helped to add credibility to the "long-lost" history of Britain which first revealed them to a European public. Merlin's prophecies reassuringly foretold Britain's path, establishing an ancient ancestral line and linking biblical prophecy with more recent times. Merlin helped to put British history into world history. 
   
   
   
  Anne Lawrence-Mathers also explores the meaning of Merlin's magic across the centuries, arguing that he embodied ancient Christian and pagan magical traditions, recreated for a medieval court and shaped to fit a new moral framework. Linking Merlin's reality and power with the culture of the Middle Ages, this remarkable book reveals the true impact of the most famous magician of all time.
