  Healthy communities strive for their members to support one another, share their passions, and achieve personal growth. This book will help you learn to be connected and defeat loneliness by understanding where and how we belong. No matter the kind of organization, company, or social group, this book is a guide for leaders seeking to build a community or strengthen the ones they already have. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on both 3,000 years of history and his personal experience, Charles Vogl lays out seven time-tested principles for developing connected communities that last. These include: Boundary: the boundary between members and outsiders; Initiation: the activities that mark a new member; Rituals: the things we do that have meaning; Temple: a place set aside to find our community; Stories: what we share that allows others and ourselves to know our values; Symbols: the things that represent ideas that are important to us; and Inner Rings: a path to growth as we participate. 
   
   
   
  With hands-on tools for applying these principles to any group—formal or informal, mission driven or social, physical or virtual—this book will guide you in your journey to become a community builder that brings people together.

  The Dish - The Story of One...

  “A thorough, lively work of on-the-ground reportage. ... Friedman shares a remarkable story."" —Wall Street Journal 
  Acclaimed “chef writer” Andrew Friedman introduces readers to all the people and processes that come together in a single restaurant dish, creating an entertaining, vivid snapshot of the contemporary restaurant community, modern farming industry, and food-supply chain.  
  On a typical evening, in a contemporary American restaurant, a table orders their dinner from a server. It’s an exchange that happens dozens, or hundreds, of times a night—the core transaction that keeps the place churning. In this book, acclaimed chef writer Andrew Friedman slows down time to focus on a single dish at Chicago’s Wherewithall restaurant, following its production and provenances via real-time kitchen and in-the-field reportage, from the moment the order is placed to when the finished dish is delivered to the table. 
  As various components of this one dish are prepared by the kitchen team, Friedman introduces readers to the players responsible for producing it, from the chefs who conceived the dish and manage the kitchen, to the line cooks and sous chefs who carry out the actual cooking, and the dishwashers who keep pace with the dining room. 
  Readers will also meet the producers, farmers, and ranchers, who supply the restaurant, as Friedman visits each stop in the supply chain and profiles the key characters whose expertise and effort play essential roles in making the dish possible—they will walk rows of crops that line Midwestern farms, feel the chill of the cooler where beef dry-ages, harvest grapes at a Michigan winery, ride along with a delivery-truck driver, and hear the immigration sagas prevalent amongst often unseen and unheralded farm and restaurant workers. 
  The Dish is a rollicking ride inside every aspect of a restaurant dish. Both a fascinating window onto our food systems, and a celebration of the unsung heroes of restaurants and the collaborative nature of professional kitchen work, The Dish will ensure that readers never look at any restaurant meal the same way again.  
  ""Masterful. ... Friedman excels at bringing the dining room to boisterous life with vivid, telling details. ... This will sate gastronomes and casual foodies alike."" — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

  Gepids The: The History and...

  Editors Charles River

  The Gepids were a Germanic tribe often overshadowed by the Huns because they shared roughly the same space in Cntral Europe, yet they did not menace nearly as extensive an area. They are also overlooked because they were all but wiped out by the late 6th century, but while they were around, they influenced the course of events in central and Eastern Europe. The Gepids were no less bellicose than the other Germanic tribes or the Huns, for that matter, causing immense destruction throughout Europe and constantly threatening the stability of the Eastern Roman Empire, which later became the Byzantine Empire. It is this destruction for which the Gepids are best remembered, as well as the threat they were able to parlay into creating a sizable kingdom in what is today Hungary, but the Gepids were not merely brutal warriors. Some of their rulers demonstrated incredible political acumen. The Gepids knew how to use the powerful Byzantine Empire to their advantage and to make alliances with other Germanic tribes that helped them keep their hold on the power.  
  	By the early 6th century CE, Gepids were major players in the geopolitics of the region, and their kings knew how to use diplomacy - as much as warfare - to their advantage. However, despite their abiliites, the Gepids were eventually defeated and driven out like the Huns before them and the Avars after them. Europe was a tough place at the time, so the fact the Gepids were able to dominate there as long as they did is a testament to their marital prowess and diplomatic skills.

  If anything can bind together nearly 400 pupils and 100 school staff in challenging circumstances, it's love. And love is in plentiful supply at Parklands.The pupils at Parklands Primary School, located on the Seacroft estate in Leeds, often face significant hardship. Children start at the school significantly behind their peers nationally, especially in terms of their language and literacy. Yet the school is famed for outstanding learning --both in terms of Ofsted judgement and, more importantly, in achieving amazing outcomes for its learners.In this inspiring book, head teacher Chris Dyson shares the story of how he has steered the school towards the seemingly impossible educational dream of high achievement, personalised support and complete inclusion. He explains how the school setting can be a place where there is love but also hope and relentless ambition for children, and reflects on the steps that he and his staff have put in place to make this a reality for Parklands' pupils. Chris delves into how this culture and climate of love drives behaviour and decision-making throughout the school - and, as a result, how this creates a safe, loving environment in which all of its learners can thrive. Chris also provides insights into how the leadership team goes about raising funds for the school, and how they choose to spend it on both curricular and extracurricular projects. And, furthermore, how the school broadens its pupils' experiences and cultural capital by means of residential trips, in-school productions, and sports and arts provision.An uplifting read for all teachers and school leaders.

  Witnessing the growing division in our communities, cities, and country is heartbreaking. Our worlds feel ripped apart, and we all know the pain of feeling separated. 
  While we universally agree on the need to bridge our divides, our calls for unity often intensify our differences instead of healing them. One significant reason is the irresponsible use of science. Its misuse, abuse, and overuse have deepened our divides. 
  This book begins with accessible chapters on the fundamentals of scientific tools, gradually progressing to discuss their abuse in the most contentious debates of our time, including global warming, COVID-19, Big Pharma, abortion, and gender fluidity. 
  After reading, you'll gain the ability to critically assess scientific claims in the news and engage in debates where science is misrepresented. Join me on this journey to unravel the misuse and limits of science and take a transformative step toward healing our divide.
