Sinopse

In "Unto This Last, and Other Essays on Political Economy," John Ruskin challenges conventional economic theories of the 19th century by interweaving moral philosophy with socio-economic critique. Ruskin adopts a highly eloquent and accessible literary style, blending rhetorical flourishes with poignant observations on wealth, labor, and the moral responsibilities of society. His essays stand as a counterpoint to utilitarian economic practices, presenting a vision where economic principles align with ethical imperatives, thus situating his work within the broader context of the Industrial Revolution and its social repercussions. John Ruskin (1819-1900) was a prominent critic, social thinker, and art theorist whose multifaceted engagement with literature and visual arts profoundly influenced his economic writings. His upbringing amidst the natural beauty of the Lake District and his profound appreciation for craftsmanship inform his arguments against the dehumanization of labor, presenting a philosophy that champions the dignity of work and community welfare. The intellectual milieu of Victorian Britain, characterized by rapid industrialization, undoubtedly shaped his perspectives as he sought to reestablish moral values within economics. This compelling collection is essential reading for those interested in the intersections of economics, ethics, and society. Ruskin's insights resonate with contemporary debates on capitalism and social justice, making it a crucial text for scholars and general readers alike. By engaging with Ruskin's thought, readers are invited to reconsider the very foundations of economic systems in light of human dignity and communal health.

    In this book 5 key areas are highlighted that will vastly increase your ability to support your child or student with their ADHD. 
    These five areas are: 
    Understanding the signs and symptoms of ADHD 
    Educational support you can put into place 
    Technological support you can access 
    Dietary support for your child’s ADHD 
    The role of exercise in supporting your child with their ADHD 
    In each chapter my role is to provide a good snapshot understanding of what is happening in that space. It is not to provide a comprehensive and detailed analysis and assessment of that area, as the primary role of this book is to ensure that you are able to get started from the get-go with supporting your child/student with their ADHD. I have made footnotes and references for those of you who wish to delve a little further in each area, at your leisure.

    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    “The Infinite Game” by Simon Sinek explores the concept of approaching life and business not as a finite competition with a clear end, but as an ongoing journey. Sinek contrasts finite games, where the goal is to win, with infinite games, where the objective is to keep playing and evolving. He argues that adopting an infinite mindset leads to long-term success, sustainable growth, and innovation. The book emphasizes leadership, ethics, and the importance of a clear, enduring purpose, encouraging organizations to prioritize people, trust, and resilience rather than short-term wins or profits.

    I asked my Year 1 class, ‘What’s the best thing that’s ever happened to you?’ 
    George Pointon asks his class a lot of questions. What do you want to be when you grow up? What do you reckon your parents do while you’re at school? Can you put that down, please? JJ, the stapler – can you put it down? 
    He’s also got a few for himself: what is he doing here? Who was he kidding, thinking he could teach? 
    But the course of true professional fulfilment never did run smooth, and there’s no backing out now. 
    In this book, George takes us along on his first year inside the messy, magical world of primary school teaching. In the company of five-year-olds – who are somehow wisdom, innocence and chaos incarnate – there is always lots to be learned. 
    In Teacher Man, George Pointon masterfully combines elements of autobiography and non-fiction to provide a candid look at education and parenting. His essays delve into the complexities of behavioural management and relationships within the school environment, offering a unique perspective on the role of educators. 
    For fans of Lucy Mangan (Bookworm), Sam Leith (The Haunted Wood), and Annie Ernaux (A Woman's Story – WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE).
