Summary

Fanny Kelly's 'My Captivity Among the Sioux Indians' is a gripping firsthand account of her abduction by Sioux Indians during the Plains Indian Wars. Written in a vivid and detailed style, Kelly recounts her harrowing experiences, providing a valuable insight into the cultural clash and violence of the era. The book is a poignant reflection on resilience, survival, and the complexity of human nature in times of adversity. Kelly's narrative is both a historical document and a literary masterpiece, with its descriptive language and emotional depth capturing the reader's imagination. The book is a valuable addition to the canon of captivity narratives, shedding light on Native American history and the impact of colonization on indigenous peoples. Fanny Kelly's personal experience as a captive of the Sioux Indians inspired her to write this compelling memoir. Her unique perspective as a white woman living among Native Americans adds depth and nuance to her storytelling. Kelly's courage and strength in the face of unimaginable challenges make her a remarkable figure in American history, and her memoir serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. I highly recommend 'My Captivity Among the Sioux Indians' to readers interested in Native American history, captivity narratives, and personal accounts of survival. Fanny Kelly's powerful and moving story offers a valuable glimpse into a dark chapter of American history, shedding light on the complexities of cross-cultural interactions and the enduring impact of frontier conflicts.

    This authoritative biography chronicles the pioneering work of a nineteenth-century Black abolitionist and civil rights activist. 
 
Growing up in the free state of Ohio before the Civil War, Peter H. Clark dedicated himself to the abolitionist cause. In pursuit of equal citizenship for African Americans, Clark was at various times a loyal supporter of the Republican Party, and an advocate for the Democrats, and the country's first black socialist. Clark led the fight for African Americans' access to Ohio's public schools and became the first black principal in the state. 
 
America's First Black Socialist draws upon speeches, correspondence, and outside commentary to provide a balanced account of this influential yet neglected figure. Charting Clark's changing allegiances and ideologies from the antebellum era through the 1920s, this comprehensive biography illuminates the life and legacy of an important activist while also highlighting the black radical tradition that helped democratize America.

    Co-authored by Zoe Enser and Mark Enser, The CPD Curriculum: Creating conditions for growth shares expert and practical guidance for schools on designing and delivering continuing professional development (CPD) that truly lives up to its name.
There is a wealth of research available on professional learning, from both within and outside the education sphere, and in this book Zoe and Mark pull it all together to help school leaders optimise teachers' ongoing learning and growth.
Zoe and Mark explain how schools can overcome issues with CPD that can leave teachers plateauing in their development after just a few years, and share a variety of case studies that illustrate the key
components of an effective CPD programme that builds on teachers' prior knowledge.
The authors spell out the importance of CPD and explain how, when done well, it gives teachers the agency to make professional decisions informed by the best evidence and experience they have to hand. Furthermore, they explore how high-quality professional development contributes not only to a collaborative culture within the school staff team and enhanced job satisfaction for teachers, but also to improved student outcomes.
Split into three parts - intent, implementation and impact - the book covers a range of key areas, including: coaching and mentoring, subject-specific CPD, empowerment and self-efficacy, delivery methods and quality of materials. They also examine the current issues and common pitfalls surrounding CPD and offer guidance on how it can be improved, with clear end goals in mind.
Suitable for school leaders, heads of department and CPD leads in all settings.

It is, in a way, a love letter to the First Amendment." — The New York Times Book ReviewThis program includes an introduction read by the author.David E. McCraw recounts his experiences as the top newsroom lawyer for the New York Times during the most turbulent era for journalism in generations.In October 2016, when Donald Trump's lawyer demanded that The New York Times retract an article focused on two women that accused Trump of touching them inappropriately, David McCraw's scathing letter of refusal went viral and he became a hero of press freedom everywhere. But as you'll see in Truth in Our Times, for the top newsroom lawyer at the paper of record, it was just another day at the office.McCraw has worked at the Times since 2002, leading the paper's fight for freedom of information, defending it against libel suits, and providing legal counsel to the reporters breaking the biggest stories of the year. In short: if you've read a controversial story in the paper since the Bush administration, it went across his desk first. From Chelsea Manning's leaks to Trump's tax returns, McCraw is at the center of the paper's decisions about what news is fit to print.In Truth in Our Times, McCraw recounts the hard legal decisions behind the most impactful stories of the last decade with candor and style. The audiobook is simultaneously a rare peek behind the curtain of the celebrated organization, a love letter to freedom of the press, and a decisive rebuttal of Trump's fake news slur through a series of hard cases. It is an absolute must-have for any dedicated fan of The New York Times.
