  The professor and historian delivers a major critique of how political and financial attacks on the academy are undermining our system of higher education.   Making a provocative foray into the public debates over higher education, acclaimed historian Ellen Schrecker argues that the American university is under attack from two fronts. On the one hand, outside pressure groups have staged massive challenges to academic freedom, beginning in the 1960s with attacks on faculty who opposed the Vietnam War, and resurfacing more recently with well-funded campaigns against Middle Eastern Studies scholars. Connecting these dots, Schrecker reveals a distinct pattern of efforts to undermine the legitimacy of any scholarly study that threatens the status quo.   At the same time, Schrecker deftly chronicles the erosion of university budgets and the encroachment of private-sector influence into academic life. From the dwindling numbers of full-time faculty to the collapse of library budgets, The Lost Soul of Higher Education depicts a system increasingly beholden to corporate America and starved of the resources it needs to educate the new generation of citizens.   A sharp riposte to the conservative critics of the academy by the leading historian of the McCarthy-era witch hunts, The Lost Soul of Higher Education, reveals a system in peril—and defends the vital role of higher education in our democracy.

  Beyond Rankism: Democracy For All

  Rank has legitimate rights.  When rank has been earned and signifies excellence, then it's generally accepted, and rightfully so.  But the power of rank is often abused.  The abuse of rank, or of power, is rankism.  Treating others as invisible, as "nobodies," - insulting someone's dignity - that's rankism.  Most of us have felt its sting; most have dished it out in some form.  Overcoming rankism - in the family, the schools, and the workplace - is democracy's next step and the focus of this insightful dialogue between Robert Fuller and Michael Toms.

  The God-Shaped Brain - How...

  What you believe about God actually changes your brain. Brain research in neuroscience has found that our thoughts and beliefs affect our physical, mental, and spiritual health. Mind and body are interrelated, and we are designed for healthy relationships of love and trust. When we understand God as good and loving, we flourish. Unfortunately, many of us have distorted images of God and mostly think of him in fearful, punitive ways. This leads us into unhealthy patterns of self-defeating behaviors and toxic relationships. But our lives can change when God renews our minds with a truer picture of him. Psychiatrist Tim Jennings unveils how our brains and bodies thrive when we have a healthy understanding of who God is. He dispels common misconceptions about God and shows how different God concepts affect the brain differently. Our brains can adapt, change, and rewire with redeemed thinking that frees us from unnecessary pain and suffering. Discover how neuroscience and Scripture come together to bring healing and transformation to our lives. This expanded edition now includes a study guide for individual reflection or group discussion, with questions for learning from Scripture, science and nature, and experience.

  Written by Paul Garvey,
  Taking Control 2: How to prepare for Ofsted under the education inspection framework equips teachers, subject leaders and school leaders with the tools and know-how to enable them to prepare for their next inspection with confidence.
  
  Distilled from Paul's 11 years' experience as an Ofsted inspector, this practical handbook builds on its predecessor Taking Control to help your school ready itself for inspection under the 2019 education inspection framework (EIF).
  
  It features many first-hand experiences of inspection under the updated EIF and highlights the methodology of inspection - including 'deep dives' and the 90-minute phone call - combined with top tips to ensure you get the best out of the assessments.
  
  Paul also provides a range of effective dialogic tools to help you compile a persuasive self-evaluation form (SEF) in order to convince the inspection team of the true quality of your school's provision and ensure that you're awarded the deserved grade.
  
  The book will alleviate some of the worries surrounding inspection, helping schools to avoid piling unnecessary work onto staff, and encourages leaders to feel much more confident about the process. It also looks at inspection from an inspector's point of view - sharing their methodology pre, during and post inspection - and includes a wealth of experiences from both primary and secondary schools of actual inspections under the 2019 framework.
  
  Furthermore, Paul furnishes his guidance with highlighted references to paragraphs and pages in the section 5 and section 8 handbooks, making it easier for you investigate the detail further, should you need to do so.
  
  Suitable for head teachers, senior leadership team members, subject leaders, classroom teachers, governors and all stakeholders in mainstream schools in England.

  A guided meditation designed to help you become the lightest, tightest, brightest version of YOU. 
  Losing weight is a Number One challenge for so many of us. But despite the billion-dollar weight loss industry pushing pills and powders and special potions on us, most of us are still piling the pounds on. 
  The secret of health doesn’t come in the form of a special supplement or 
  a Keto only diet or hours of pumping those legs in that cycling class. 
  In fact, the key to health is not a physical game at all. 
  Health is a MIND game. 
  You want to access health? You will need to shift your mindset.  
  This guided meditation will help you reset your mindset to put you on the right path to eating healthfully, shedding weight and feeling good about yourself. It will help you lose extra pounds, gain energy and feel more confident. You will turn your back on everything holding you back: stress eating, food addictions, and much more. 
  This guided meditation comes with two valuable ‘extras’: 
  1.	2 different endings. Besides the actual guided meditation itself, you will receive a choice of a ‘sleep’ or ‘wake’ ending depending on whether you are listening in the morning or evening. 
  2.	A deep sleep music track. If you choose a sleep ending, this track will help deepen your sleep after you have completed your meditation session.  
  Hi:) I’m Amy Applebaum. And I’m really glad you are here!As a business owner who has made millions and a Life Success coach who has coached dozens of ambitious women (and some men), I believe very strongly that success is just as much about ‘how you think’ as it is ‘what you do’. 
  Success is first and foremost an Inside Job. 
  I have seen it in my own life. 
  I’ve seen it with the entrepreneurs and industry leaders I have worked with whose lives have been wildly transformed just by changing their thoughts and then taking actions on those new beliefs. 
  Let’s face it. We have a lot on our plate. And those of us who are running our own businesses even more so. 
  We are giving so much to the world around us. 
  But things won’t shift until we get those birds on our shoulders to stop the negative chitchat. 
  And the best fastest way to cut the self-doubt in its tracks is through meditation. 
  And I make doing meditation dead easy. 
  My MOVE collections are guided meditations. 
  You don’t have to learn the ‘ins and outs ’of meditation. So that you can finally live the life you have always wanted! 
  This download has changed my life. I have been listening daily and my self-image has not only improved but I have been more motivated to stick with my promises regarding healthy eating and exercising and have lost 5 lbs. because of it!” ~ Michelle Anderson, Chiropractor & Yoga Instructor 
  Isn’t it time?  
  Isn’t it time to set aside the roadblocks that are impeding you from being the lightest, tightest, brightest possible version of you?And it’s so easy. 
  Just put the earbuds in and listen. 
  Nothing simpler. 
  All you need to do to open the door to healthy living the EASY way 
  is waiting for you here.
