  In School Communities of Strength, Peter W. Cookson, Jr., lays out a blueprint for providing equitable educational opportunities for students from all socioeconomic strata, and particularly for the five million American children who live with the extreme material hardship known as deep poverty. This work issues an urgent call to action for K–12 schools to put in place the policies, practices, and programs that enable economically vulnerable students to thrive. 
   
   
   
  Drawing from up-to-date findings in the science of learning and development as well as analyses of schools that serve students in poverty, Cookson pinpoints success strategies that can help schools improve their poverty responsiveness. He shows how these strategies can help educators create the culturally responsive, inclusive environments that provide a base of safety from which students can better engage with their education. 
   
   
   
  Offering astute analysis, Cookson notes that school communities of strength require adequate funding and also meaningful collaboration among families, neighborhood partners, and educators. This book amplifies the idea that communities working together can drive transformative change, and it brings into focus three primary policy initiatives that can advance educational equity.

  Are you feeling drawn to adopt but your mind is afraid, confused, or overwhelmed by stories you've heard in the news and comments from other people? 
  As an adoptive mom of a sibling pair, I am often asked about the foster care adoption process. I often share my own stories and stories I've been told from those I know who have actually navigated this journey.  
  This is the basis for why this book came to life—to share real life stories with others who are considering adopting through the foster care system and to raise awareness about the 113,000 children who are currently waiting in the system for their forever family. Some profiles of these children can be found online; but, in order to adopt them, you need to first navigate through the licensing process.  
  There are over 45 topics in this book to help you with deciding and applying to go this route, getting through the training, home study, legal, and matching processes, and to equip you with practical insights for the parenting journey.  
  Inside you'll learn: 
  - what foster care adoption is and which children can be adopted 
  - why some families waited and how some pursued this path after facing infertility 
  - how some had to be persistent and how they endured the process 
  - tips for parenting children who have experienced neglect, trauma, alcohol exposure 
  - tips for parenting children who have mental health or medical needs 
  and more!

  The Life of Music in South India

  T. Sankaran

  This book offers an account of Carnatic music culture drawing on the knowledge of T. Sankaran, a musician raised in an illustrious non-Brahmin devadasi family, and his long affiliation with cultural institutions including All India Radio (AIR) and the Tamil Isai Sangam (Tamil Music Academy). Sankaran examines the cultural and social matrix in which Carnatic music was cultivated and consumed in mid-twentieth century India, including the ways that musicians negotiated caste politics and the double standard for male and female musicians. The memoir provides insight into the way AIR worked as a modern, bureaucratic institution, and how the opening of government music colleges interacted with caste politics and shifted women's participation in public performance. The book is polyvocal, as Sankaran's writing is interwoven with passages from Daniel M. Neuman's book The Life of Music in North India, which inspired Sankaran's project, as well as transcripts from interviews with Sankaran by Matthew Allen. Includes rare archival photos.

  Economics Reimagined: - Nature...

  Forget GDP, and focus instead on living standards, people’s ability to get what they want. When you do that you’ll see why, contrary to universal belief, capitalism helps the living standards of the less well-off much more than those of the rich. You’ll also see why no matter who or what the government taxes, or even if it taxes nobody, nearly the entire cost of government is paid for in the form of reduced living standards for the poor or anyone else on a tight budget. 
  Despite covering serious issues that affect the lives of everyone, the book is designed to be easy and entertaining even for those who know little about economics. That’s because the laws of economics are ultimately based on universal aspects of human nature. If you are a human, you’ll get it.
