Beschreibung

Coal Demand Falls explores the dramatic decline of the U.S. coal industry during the 1930s, a period marked by the Great Depression and the rise of alternative energy. It examines the economic, historical, and social factors that contributed to this industrial downturn.

 
The book argues that the fall in coal demand was not a simple economic cycle but a structural shift, accelerated by technological innovation like electrification and increased competition from oil and natural gas. It showcases how the industry, once a cornerstone of the American economy, faced obsolescence, impacting mining communities and the broader energy landscape.

 
The book meticulously analyzes shifts in energy markets, highlighting the vulnerability of resource-dependent economies. For instance, the electrification of homes and factories significantly reduced coal consumption.

 
The study uses primary source data, including production statistics and government reports, to provide a nuanced understanding of the challenges faced by coal miners.

 
The book progresses by first establishing coal's pre-1930s dominance, then analyzing the weakening demand across sectors, and finally assessing the long-term consequences on mining communities, providing lessons applicable to today's energy transitions.

Tiny Voices Talk - Education...

Toria Bono

When tiny voices talk, three amazing things happen: they share surprising ideas and insights; they realise they are not so tiny; and they empower other tiny voices to talk too.Drawing on the winning formula of her Tiny Voice Talks podcasts, Toria Bono has compiled a great resource full of top tips and actionable advice from a range of tiny voices across the educational spectrum. The assembled voices speak on a broad range of topics relating to education and learner development - from mentoring, metacognitive skills and period education, to trauma-informed practice, nurturing curious learners and finding flow in the classroom.But above all, this book is a call to action for all those in our schools who have yet to find their voice to find it - and use it. There are big people with big voices (and big egos) in education, yet they are the minority. The majority consists of great people just getting on with doing great things - more often than not with people, not data, at the heart of their practice. This book inspires such people to find and use their voice; and when tiny voices talk to tiny voices, everyone wins. Suitable for teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders in all phases.

Social Psychology - The...

Fred Grandsen

Social psychology is the scientific study of how individuals think, feel, and behave in social contexts. It explores the dynamic interaction between the individual and society, examining how social influences shape attitudes, perceptions, and actions. Unlike sociology, which focuses on large-scale social structures, or personality psychology, which emphasizes individual traits, social psychology is concerned with the situational and environmental factors that influence behavior. By understanding these processes, social psychology helps explain why people conform to social norms, how prejudices form, and what drives human interactions.
One of the core principles of social psychology is that human behavior is largely shaped by the presence, actions, or even imagined influence of others. This concept is central to theories of conformity, persuasion, and group behavior. Classic experiments, such as Solomon Asch’s studies on conformity and Stanley Milgram’s research on obedience, illustrate how individuals often adjust their behavior in response to social pressures. These findings demonstrate that while people may believe they act independently, their decisions and actions are frequently influenced by external social forces.
Another key area of social psychology is the study of social cognition—how people perceive, interpret, and remember information about themselves and others. Cognitive biases, such as the fundamental attribution error and self-serving bias, shape how individuals understand social interactions and make judgments about others. These mental shortcuts can lead to errors in reasoning and contribute to stereotypes and misunderstandings. By exploring these cognitive processes, social psychology helps explain how individuals navigate their social environments and how they sometimes misinterpret reality.
