  This is not a manual. It’s a quiet act of rebellion. 
  Letters to a Young Teacher is a poetic and piercing exchange between two educators — a seasoned guide and a young teacher navigating burnout, grief, and the quiet longing to feel again. 
  What begins as an honest back-and-forth becomes a reckoning with perfectionism, a gentle rebellion against performative strength, and a soft return to joy. 
  These letters don’t preach. They breathe. They carry tools that don’t demand, stories that regulate the body, and language that grants permission — to rest, to feel again, to reclaim wonder. 
  For anyone who leads while still learning to stand. 
  Paul O’Neill is the author of Back into Delight and the Neuro-Resilience Skills series, helping leaders stay clear, calm, and connected — so their teams can move as one. 
  Francinne Kaye Gacilo is an educator and coach who brings the heart of a teacher to every role — from classroom care to digital transformation.

  The life of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson by his nephew: Oxford, mathematics, the deanery children, the boat on the Isis, the photography, and the double life of a shy don who wrote the most famous nonsense in English. Collingwood had the family papers and published in 1898, within months of his uncle's death. He is discreet where a modern biographer would not be, and the letters he prints do most of the work. Its 67 original illustrations have been carefully restored and coloured for this edition.

  Africa may have given rise to the first humans, and Egypt probably gave rise to the first great civilizations, which continue to fascinate modern societies across the globe nearly 5,000 years later. From the Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria to the Great Pyramid at Giza, the Ancient Egyptians produced several wonders of the world, revolutionized architecture and construction, created some of the world’s first systems of mathematics and medicine, and established language and art that spread across the known world.  
  For almost four millennia, the Great Pyramids of Ancient Egypt have been widely hailed as the single greatest archeological feat man has ever accomplished. The Great Pyramid at Giza is the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world to have survived into the modern age. Unlike so many pieces of the historical record which have been “re-discovered,” relatively recently (in the grand scheme of things,” in their four thousand years of existence, the Great Pyramids have never allowed themselves to be truly forgotten by the human civilization which has never ceased to regard them with wonder and awe. 
  Egypt also impressed its contemporaries. The 5th century B.C. Greek historian Herodotus wrote that Egypt was “the gift of the Nile” because the river made its soil so fertile and thus helped create one of the first great civilizations. Indeed, the land of Egypt so impressed the Greeks that when Alexander the Great conquered the Nile Valley in the 4th century B.C., he decided that he would build a new city on its soil and name it Alexandria. After Alexander, the city of Alexandria grew and became the most important city in the world for centuries as it watched and played a role in the rise and fall of numerous dynasties. The city also became home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World – the Lighthouse of Alexandria – and a center of culture and learning, which was exemplified by the Library of Alexandria.

  Bengali village tales taken down from the tellers - the match-making jackal, the ghost who was afraid of being bagged, the boy with the moon on his forehead. Lal Behari Day had put a village story-teller, Sambhu's mother, into his novel of peasant life; here he set down the tales themselves, as the old women of Bengal told them, before they went out of the villages. Twenty-nine plates of painting, from Giotto to Signorelli, carry the sacred themes of Trinity, Annunciation and Last Judgement that echo the moral world of these Bengali tales.
