The Covenant of Water is a novel by Abraham Verghese, the author of Cutting for Stone. It follows three generations of a family in Kerala, South India, who suffer from a peculiar affliction: at least one person dies by drowning. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time. The novel is a hymn to progress in medicine and human understanding, and a testament to the difficulties undergone by past generations for the sake of those alive today.

    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 Social Contract  is a 1762 French-language book by the Genevan philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The book theorizes about the best way to establish a political community in the face of the problems of commercial society, which Rousseau had already identified in his Discourse on Inequality (1755). 
    The Social Contract helped inspire political reforms or revolutions in Europe, especially in France. The Social Contract argued against the idea that monarchs were divinely empowered to legislate. Rousseau asserts that only the people, who are sovereign, have that all-powerful right.

    Everybody knows about the transatlantic slave trade. A century before Britain became involved in this terrible business, whole villages and towns in England, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and other European countries were being depopulated by slavers, who transported the men, women, and children to Africa where they were sold. This is the forgotten slave trade; one which saw over a million Christians forced into captivity in the Muslim world. 
     
     
     
    Starting with the practice of slavery in the ancient world, Simon Webb traces the history of slavery in Europe, showing that the numbers involved were vast and that the victims were often treated far more cruelly than black slaves in America and the Caribbean. Castration, used very occasionally against black slaves taken across the Atlantic, was routinely carried out on an industrial scale on European boys who were exported to Africa and the Middle East. Most people are aware that the English city of Bristol was a major center for the transatlantic slave trade in the eighteenth century, but hardly anyone knows that 1,000 years earlier it had been an important staging-post for the transfer of English slaves to Africa. 
     
     
     
    This book will forever change how you view the slave trade and show that many commonly held beliefs about this controversial subject are almost wholly inaccurate and mistaken.

    Important Note: This is not the original book, this is a book summary of the following title: 
    Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges by Amy Cuddy 
     
    About 
     
    Amy Cuddy is best known for having delivered the 2nd most-watched TED talk in history. The talk is titled, “Your Body Shapes Who You Are”—definitely worth watching if you haven’t already done so. 
     
    Cuddy wrote this book to help people of all walks of life develop a strong sense of presence—a quality that helps us:  
     
    —Command respect and inspire others  
     
    —Speak with poise and clarity 
     
    —Become genuinely likable to others  
     
    —Develop an inner sense of confidence that helps us feel good about ourselves and make progress in our lives 
     
    We’ll talk more about how presence helps us lean into the aforementioned qualities, along with much, much more in the Big Ideas we’ll be sharing in this book summary.

    I had heard tales of women with secret knowledge and powers, but I never imagined that there would be one standing right in front of me. 
    “You’re a Völva?” the word rolled off my tongue strangely... 
    I only knew faintly what a Völva was. They were said to be strange women with strange powers. Not only could they protect and ward against ill omens, but they could also travel the realms and reach into places untapped by most humans. As such, they were often spoken of in whispers of both reverence and mystery. 
    “Yes, I am. And an old one at that,” she said, getting up from her chair. 
    It seemed so casual as if she was just talking about a mindless chore that she was doing. Like it was nothing special that she had just performed some form of magic right in front of me. 
    For two years, I learned everything I could on runes, protections, herbs, medicines, and anything else that Dagmar deemed necessary. In the few moments I had that were not dedicated to lessons from Dagmar, I would seek out Ivar for his quiet presence. There was just something about being near him that set my mind at ease. 
    All that consumed my thoughts was avengement and how close Ulrik was. Soon he would taste the bitter sting of defeat. 
    In the realms of Norse Mythology, a girl sets out to avenge her village only to meet a powerful teacher on her journey into the abyss of forbidden knowledge.
