Whilst removing the vale and showing you what is really going on. We do not belong here! We have become trapped here, not against our will but, in spite of our Will!  
    The book starts by gently leading you into the dark, removing the vale and showing you what is really going on around you. It then makes sense of where you are, and why you are led by attitude's and dialogues that reside outside of you. A sturdy foundation has been placed in order to safely ease you into your deep, otherwise it may have been too much for some minds to decipher. The next part of the book tells you how you have been captured and how you continue to feed your keeper (The custodian entity) how, the Life Force of your Soul is being harvested - and how you are in denial that it even exists. The last part of the book is how to free Self and get Home (if you are ready). If it is your time, you will hear and understand what is written within the pages of this book.

    The wind never truly dies in the Urals. 
     
    It prowls the valleys and ridgelines like a restless spirit, rattling bare birches, hissing across the frozen stone. At night it screams—long, feral cries that curl around the peaks like warning songs. The Mansi hunters had long ago given one of those mountains a name: Kholat Syakhl, the Mountain of the Dead. 
     
    In the dim light of February 1959, the mountain waited. Snow drifted across its slopes, erasing tracks, swallowing sound, hiding the small traces of what was to come. Soon, nine figures would climb its shoulder, laughing, weary, defiant against the cold. They would pitch their tent there, a fragile canvas wall against an indifferent wilderness. 
     
    And within hours, the mountain would keep them forever.

    The book containing the Constitution of the Confederate States of America serves as a pivotal historical document, encapsulating the legal and governmental framework intended to govern the Confederacy during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Crafted in 1861 by representatives from states that seceded from the Union, this Constitution mirrors the U.S. Constitution in many aspects but with notable divergences, particularly its explicit protection of the institution of slavery and states' rights. It outlines the structure of the Confederate government, detailing the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, while also embedding the ideologies and socio-political ethos of the Confederacy. This document not only sheds light on the political landscape of the time but also offers insight into the ideological rifts that led to one of the most tumultuous and defining periods in American history. As a book, it serves both as a historical artifact and a tool for understanding the complexities of governance, sectionalism, and the enduring impact of these issues on the fabric of the United States.

    Foreword by Dr Andy Daly-Smith.
    We already know that increased physical activity and a reduction in the sedentary time spent sitting at desks have wide-ranging benefits (including to brain function), so what if there were also evidence that using movement in the learning process improves outcomes for children? What if we could then map out ways to support teachers in adapting their practice to make this a reality?
    In How to Move & Learn Bryn Llewellyn, Ian Holmes and Richard Allman do just that - sharing the latest research from around the world and providing teachers with the means and motivation to identify opportunities to integrate movement purposefully into the teaching and learning process.
    The links between health and education are paramount, and this book explores these connections and presents a wealth of ideas, activities and resources to help teachers unlock the potential of the school and outdoor environments for learning across all curriculum subjects.
    Suitable for all primary school teachers and leaders.
