  Are you focused on what's wrong with your students? Now you can transform learning by reframing your view from what's wrong to what's strong. 
   
   
   
  "At risk." "Low." "Title I kids." If you've worked with students, you've probably heard or said these coded labels that reflect deficit thinking. This focus on weakness is a pervasive, powerful judgment that continues to harm students long after they leave school. It's time for educators to hack deficit thinking, think about SEL and about strength-based teaching, and reframe teaching and learning. 
   
   
   
  Nationally certified school psychologists McClure and Reed show teachers, administrators, and support staff how to unlearn student blame and reframe thinking to focus on students' strengths. When we acknowledge the impact of teaching practices and the broader structural inequities, we can help everyone reach their highest potential. 
   
   
   
  In Hacking Deficit Thinking, you'll learn how to: build on student strengths; think about student empathy; humanize your data; recognize the value of differences; think about teacher empathy; talk about equity in schools; tap into school-wide strengths; flourish as an educator.

  The Story of Philosophy...

  Will Durant

  In "The Story of Philosophy. Schopenhauer" Will Durant delves into the life and ideas of Arthur Schopenhauer, a prominent 19th-century German philosopher. Schopenhauer's philosophy is characterized by his profound pessimism and the notion that the essence of reality is an irrational will. Durant explores Schopenhauer's influences, including Eastern philosophies and Immanuel Kant, and examines how his metaphysical and ethical views shaped his bleak outlook on human existence.
  Schopenhauer's seminal work, "The World as Will and Representation," is central to Durant's discussion. This work posits that the will is the driving force behind all phenomena, leading to a perpetual state of dissatisfaction and suffering. Despite his pessimism, Schopenhauer's thoughts on aesthetics and compassion reveal a complex thinker who saw art and empathy as temporary escapes from the harshness of reality.
  Durant's narrative not only provides a thorough analysis of Schopenhauer's philosophy but also situates it within the broader historical and intellectual context. By doing so, he highlights Schopenhauer's lasting impact on both contemporary and later philosophical thought, including existentialism and psychoanalysis.
  This segment of "The Story of Philosophy" serves as an accessible introduction to Schopenhauer's challenging ideas, offering readers insight into one of philosophy's most intriguing and influential figures.

  From breasts and orgasms to periods, pregnancies, and menopause—A Brief History of the Female Body is a fascinating science book explaining the mysteries of the female body through an evolutionary lens. 
   
   
   
  Let's face it: The female body is an enigma. For teenagers first experiencing their periods, the monthly arrival of mood swings and cramps can be agonizing and inconvenient. With pregnancy—perhaps the most miraculous of bodily events—comes countless potential complications, including high blood pressure, diabetes, premature birth, and postpartum depression. And menopause is equally mystifying. Why do females lose their fertility over time and experience the notorious side effects—like hot flashes, weight gain, and hair loss—while males maintain their fertility forever? 
   
   
   
  Evolutionary geneticist and educator Dr. Deena Emera has spent much of her career studying the evolution of female reproduction. A Brief History of the Female Body draws on her vast expertise as a biologist, her experience as a mother of four children, and her love of teaching to look far into our evolutionary past, illuminating how and, more importantly, why the female form has transformed over millions of years and its effects on women's health.

  Crime and Punishment

  Fyodor Dostoevsky

  "I did not kill a human being, but a principle!"
  
  In the sweltering slums of St. Petersburg, a brilliant but destitute student named Rodion Raskolnikov conceives a terrifying theory: that "extraordinary" men are above the law, permitted to commit any crime for the sake of a higher purpose. To prove his hypothesis, he murders a cynical old pawnbroker. But as a cat-and-mouse game ensues with the cunning investigator Porfiry Petrovich, Raskolnikov finds himself haunted not by the law, but by his own conscience. His only hope for salvation lies with Sonia, a young woman forced into a life of suffering, who offers a path of radical humility and spiritual rebirth.
  
  A Descent into the Human Mind: Crime and Punishment is arguably the greatest psychological study ever written. Dostoevsky takes the reader deep into the feverish, fractured mind of a killer, making us complicit in his rationalizations and his subsequent agony. It is a visceral experience that explores the thin line between genius and madness, and the devastating weight of a secret.
  
  The Battle for the Soul: The novel is a masterpiece of ideological conflict. Raskolnikov is pulled between the cold, rational nihilism of the 19th-century "New Men" and the profound, self-sacrificing faith represented by Sonia. Through their interactions, Dostoevsky argues that no intellectual theory can withstand the fundamental human need for connection and moral truth.
  
  A Timeless Search for Redemption: Beyond the murder and the investigation, this is a story about the possibility of a second chance. It is a grueling journey through the "hell" of the human ego toward the light of confession and renewal. Crime and Punishment is not just a book you read; it is an experience that stays with you forever.
  
  Step into the mind of a killer. Purchase "Crime and Punishment" today and discover the depth of the human heart.

  The Law

  Bastiat Frederic

  An analysis that grounds the law in the personality, liberty, and property of the individual from “the most brilliant economic journalist who ever lived” (Joseph Schumpeter, twentieth-century political economist).  The law is the organization of the natural right of lawful defense; it is the substitution of collective for individual forces, for the purpose of acting in the sphere in which they have a right to act, of doing what they have a right to do, to secure persons, liberties, and properties, and to maintain each in its right, so as to cause justice to reign over all.   It is with these words that the nineteenth-century French economist and statesman Frédéric Bastiat describes his theory of the individual rights of man in a classic refutation of the communist ideas that were sweeping across France at the time. In these pages, Bastiat affirms that the non-intervention of the State in private affairs gives rise to our wants and their satisfactions developing in their natural order. Problems arise when the law leaves its proper sphere and is employed in annihilating that justice which it should have established. He describes the threat of socialism as “philanthropic tyranny,” the enemy to his revered principles of justice, peace, order, stability, harmony, and logic. In clear, concise prose, Bastiat reveals the dangers of government overreach, a philosophy that still inspires libertarian ideology today.

  The Art of the Delusion

  The Art of the Delusion is a meditation on power, image, and the quiet disappearance of truth beneath the glow of persuasion. In a world where confidence outweighs competence and charisma becomes currency, reality is no longer discovered — it’s negotiated. This book dissects the psychology of performance: how ambition turned into identity, how sincerity became spectacle, and how modern life taught us to sell versions of ourselves instead of understanding who we are. Written in lyrical, critical prose, it examines the new economy of illusion — where authenticity is curated, morality is optional, and the art of influence has replaced the pursuit of integrity.
