  The Trojan Horse affair sent shock waves across England's education system in 2014. The affair centred around an anonymous letter that contained instructions on how to take over schools with a majority Muslim population by influencing their governing bodies and undermining head teachers. The authenticity of the letter remains hotly disputed, yet its publication generated huge turbulence - not only in Birmingham's schools and communities, but also in both Parliament and the national news.
  The book offers fresh perspectives based on unique access to information from within the city, written by respected educationalists who have worked successfully in Birmingham for many years both during the Trojan Horse era and since. It explains what led to the publication of the letter, its profound consequences for education in Birmingham, and how it influenced events in the city since.
  Crucially the book also opens up an informed discussion around the issues raised during Trojan Horse, such as delivering a well-rounded curriculum suitable for a diverse school community, developing working partnerships in the local area, and boosting the attainment and aspirations of children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
  Colin shares case studies of school improvement in local and national MATs in tough, multicultural urban environments, and how schools worked to develop pupils' social capital. The Birmingham Book reveals how the Trojan Horse affair was handled by the Department for Education as their academies and free schools policies underwent their first major stress tests. Furthermore, the book provides an up-to-date appraisal of the interrelationship between education in England's schools and the cultural and religious practice of the local communities the schools serve - and of the underachievement levels of the different ethnic groups in Birmingham.
  Suitable for teachers, school leaders, governors and policymakers.

  Did you know New Zealand was the first country to offer universal suffrage? 
  Many people today only started dreaming of visiting New Zealand after discovering it was the beautiful filming place of the Lord of the Rings series. However, ignoring the two islands in the Pacific Ocean is not a modern thing. The remote lands of New Zealand were the last large, livable lands to be discovered, inhabited, and colonized. 
  Since the Polynesians (the first humans in New Zealand who would become known as the Māori) were the most modern humans to settle in an uninhabited land, it is no surprise New Zealand has always been ahead of its time. Despite its late settlement, New Zealand has been one of the most rapidly modernizing nations in the world. New Zealand was the first country to introduce full democracy, women’s suffrage, state pensions, and state housing. New Zealand has a history unlike any other nation, from its late inhabitation to its unusually respectful colonization, involving hundreds of Māori chiefs signing an agreement to allow European settlement. 
  Although New Zealand was the last inhabited country and one of the most isolated developed regions in the world, it has been significantly involved in historical events, adding even more interest to its complex and rich history. 
  Intrigued? Pick up this audiobook to learn more about the following:Extinct animals that used to call New Zealand home;The arrival of the Polynesians and what that meant for the region;The early European explorations and who is credited with discovering the island nation;Colonization efforts and their impact on the Māori;How New Zealand was run under European control;The progressive changes that took place;And so much more!

  Blaise Pascal, the seventeenth-century French philosopher and scientist, is perhaps best known for his "wager," an argument about the existence of God. But there was much more to Pascal and his brilliance.
  In this accessible and well-documented study, philosopher Douglas Groothuis introduces readers to Pascal's life as well as the breadth of his intellectual pursuits, including his contributions to mathematics, science, ethics, and theology. Groothuis overviews the key points of Pascal's Pensées, which captures his thoughts about God, humanity, and Jesus Christ. Readers will also explore Pascal's views on a range of topics, including culture, politics, Islam, and miracles.
  Often quoted and often misunderstood, Pascal is a complex figure whose writings have charmed, puzzled, and inspired readers across the centuries. With guidance from a leading Christian thinker and longtime student of Pascal, Beyond the Wager takes you on a journey to discover the riches Pascal has to offer today.

  How to stop making excuses, ditch delaying tactics, and achieve your goals without feeling like it’s a chore. 
  Is there something you want to accomplish but can’t seem to follow through with, whether it’s making healthier choices, learning a new language, or limiting social media time? 
  If so, then CONQUER DISCIPLINE is for you! 
  How often do you give in to distractions or struggle to finish what you’ve started, then beat yourself up for feeling like a failure? 
  Do you wish you could be one of those people who have laser focus and keep their eyes on the prize no matter what? 
  Here’s a reality check: What spells the difference between one’s success and failure is not merely talent, intelligence, or even luck – it’s self-discipline. 
  Self-discipline, according to the dictionary, is the ability to control yourself and to make yourself work hard or behave in a particular way without needing anyone else to tell you what to do. 
  Unfortunately, while the benefits of self-discipline have long been established, it has earned a bad reputation. 
  Many people – perhaps including yourself – react negatively to it, most likely because it’s often associated with ideas of harsh punishment, heavy burden, and basically a rigid, joyless life. 
  But that notion cannot be farther from the truth. In fact, a study has shown that practicing self-control makes you happier and more satisfied both in the moment and in the long run. 
  Experts also say that self-discipline is like a muscle – the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets. The good news is, unlike a rigorous exercise routine, you don’t need to hire a professional trainer or have fancy equipment and tools to master self-discipline - read the book to discover more...
