    Around the World in 80 Schools -...

    An original, thought-provoking account of one teacher's global journey to understand what really makes a good school. In an increasingly unstable world, schools need to shape our future generations. Yet in the UK and the US, education systems are still falling short. An unthinking hegemony now dominates education, rarely asking the fundamental questions: What makes a good school? What is education for? And how can schools best prepare young people for the future? Purpose has been replaced by metrics, from exam scores to Ofsted grades, leaving systems marked by falling attendance, recruitment crises, low teacher morale and widespread wellbeing concerns.Around the World in 80 Schools highlights schools that reject this narrow focus. Secondary teacher, Adam Seldon visits schools across every continent revealing places where education is understood as more than academic outcomes or a step up the ladder. Instead, he explores how different cultures define what makes a good school. The book explores regions that aren't generally well known for their schools, across Africa, America, central Asia, Australasia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. Adam's travels take him from elite institutions in metropolises like Mumbai and the first communist school in China, to schools in Africa's largest slums or those run by refugee children in rural Thailand. Each chapter blends theory and case studies to reveal what typical metrics miss.In the frenzied demands of a school day, it is easy to lose sight of what truly matters. This book provides a mixture of blue-sky inspiration to enable schools to reconnect with the true meaning of education and practical ideas to enable them to provide an experience that is more than just a transaction.

    Cleveland's neighborhood taverns are more than just places to grab a drink—they're snapshots of the city's history, rich with tales of community, celebration and even scandal.
    Built by hardworking immigrants chasing the American Dream, these taverns were where workers cashed their paychecks, swapped stories, celebrated victories and sometimes witnessed late-night crimes. Family-run bars were often passed down through generations, becoming intertwined with the ever-changing face of the city. Although many did not survive the 1960s and '70s, their memory lives on.
    Native Clevelander and founder of My Cleveland History Tom Kaschalk honors the legendary watering holes that shaped Cleveland's communities, hosted vibrant music scenes and served as the backdrop to both good times and life-changing events.

    Why do some ideas transform entire systems while others never spread? 
      
    We celebrate startups for changing the world. We rarely ask how innovation happens inside government. Yet some of America's most influential healthcare innovations did not begin in Silicon Valley. They began inside Medicaid.  
     
    In Public Startup, physician, professor, and public health leader Christopher R. Cogle takes readers behind the scenes of one of America's most misunderstood institutions to reveal how meaningful change actually happens. 
      
    Through compelling patient stories, political battles, historical turning points, and firsthand accounts from inside medicine, entrepreneurship, academia, and state government, he uncovers the surprising forces that allow new ideas to take root and improve millions of lives. 
     
    Along the way, Cogle introduces three powerful ideas that challenge conventional thinking: 
      
    * The Margins Lead the Middle. Solutions developed for society's most vulnerable often become the standard for everyone. 
    * Bureaucrats Take the Risks. Many of the boldest experiments in healthcare happen quietly inside government. 
    * The Safety Net Is a Ladder. The strongest public programs create opportunity, restore independence, and strengthen entire communities. 
     
    Hopeful, provocative, and deeply human, Public Startup reveals that innovation is not confined to startups or private industry. Sometimes the ideas that change the world emerge from the institutions we least expect. Whether you're a healthcare professional, policymaker, entrepreneur, public servant, or simply curious about how real change happens, Public Startup will change the way you think about innovation and where to find it.

    As We Exist - A Postcolonial...

    In this thoughtful coming-of-age memoir, a young sociologist reflects on her Moroccan immigrant parents, their journey to France, and how growing up an outsider shaped her identity. 
    Imbued with tenderness for her family and a critical view of the challenges facing French North African immigrants, Kaoutar Harchi’s probing account illustrates the deeply personal effects of political issues. Mixed with happy memories of her childhood home in eastern France are ever-present reminders of the dangers from which her parents sought to shield her. When they transfer her to a private, Catholic middle school—out of fear of Arab boys from their working-class neighborhood—Kaoutar grows increasingly conscious of her differences, and her conflicted sense of self. 
    Notable events in her teens—the passing of a law in 2004 banning religious symbols from public schools; the 2005 deaths of Bouna Traoré and Zyed Benna, which sparked riots against police brutality—underscore the injustice of a society that sees Muslims not as equals but as a problem to solve. With elegant, affecting prose, As We Exist charts Kaoutar’s political and intellectual awakening, which would become the heart and soul of her work as a sociologist and writer.

    Bye Bye I Love You - The Story...

    With our earliest utterances, we announce ourselves—and are recognized—as persons ready for social life. With our final ones, we mark where others must release us to death's embrace. In Bye Bye I Love You, linguist and author Michael Erard explores these phenomena, commonly called "first words" and "last words," uncovering their cultural, historical, and biological entanglements and honoring their deep private significance. Erard draws from personal, historical, and anthropological sources to provide a sense of the breadth of beliefs and practices about these phenomena across eras, religions, and cultures around the world. 
     
     
     
    What do babies' first words have in common? How do people really communicate at the end of life? In the first half of the book, Erard tells the story of first words in human development and evolution, and how the attention to children's early language—a modern phenomenon—arose. In the second half, he provides a groundbreaking overview of language at the end of life and the cultural conventions that surround it. Throughout he reveals the many parallels and asymmetries between first and last words and asks whether we might be able to use a linguistic understanding of end of life to discover what we truly want.
