Beschreibung

Lost Colonies explores the enigmatic fates of early European settlements in the Americas, focusing on the precarious nature of colonial life and the historical mysteries surrounding their disappearances. The book examines the harsh realities faced by colonists, such as disease and conflict with indigenous peoples, and delves into how incomplete records contribute to unanswered questions. For example, the Roanoke Colony vanished leaving behind only the cryptic word "Croatoan," and the Spanish colony of San Miguel de Gualdape, one of the earliest European attempts at settlement in North America, quickly dissolved due to disease, famine, and internal conflict. The book analyzes these colonial ventures as not merely isolated incidents but as consequences of systemic issues like inadequate planning and misunderstandings of the New World and its inhabitants. Chapters are dedicated to specific case studies, including Charlesfort, meticulously examining the known facts, demise factors, and evidence suggesting what may have happened. By integrating historical narratives with archaeological findings and anthropological perspectives, Lost Colonies provides a more holistic understanding of these colonial encounters. The book progresses by first introducing the major European powers and their motivations, then examining specific colonial failures, and finally drawing overarching lessons from these experiences.

    Schools do amazing work to support children from disadvantaged backgrounds. But this book will enable them to do more. Disadvantage comes in many forms, but cultural poverty, where some students have relative knowledge gaps compared with their more affluent peers, can be addressed successfully by schools. The Working Classroom explores how working-class students are disadvantaged by a flawed system and what schools can do to close the gap.
    Written by two experienced authors with a deep understanding of the challenges that poverty and low aspiration can bring, and a passion for social justice, The Working Classroom examines how and why we must seek systemic changes. The book focuses on actions within the control of teachers and school leaders which will ensure that we create a socially just education system - one that builds on the rich heritage of the working-class, rather than seeing their background as a weakness. It offers practical ways for students and families to build on the best of working-class culture, whilst also empowering teachers, students and parents to change the system.
    The Working Classroom provides teachers with useful methods to improve the cultural capital of students from disadvantaged backgrounds that can be easily replicated and implemented in their own setting. Backed up by practical case studies that have a proven impact in schools with high levels of deprivation, this book will enable teachers to audit their current provision and encourage them to adopt new systems and practices so that they, and the wider school, will have a greater impact on the lives of working-class students and their families.
    Suitable for both teachers and leaders in a secondary school or sixth form college setting who seek to support social change in education and anyone in the corporate or non-education world who wants to practice effective altruism or philanthropy.

    Inca Mythology - Sacred Legends...

    The Inca Empire, at its zenith, spanned much of South America, including present-day Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and parts of Chile and Argentina. Known for its advanced architecture, agricultural systems, and administrative organization, the Inca civilization also possessed a deeply spiritual culture. Central to their worldview was a rich tapestry of mythology that explained the creation of the world, the origins of humankind, and the roles of the gods in the natural and spiritual realms. These sacred legends were not just stories; they were the very foundation upon which the Inca society was built, shaping everything from daily rituals to the governance of the empire.  
    Inca mythology was intricately connected to the natural world, with gods and deities representing various elements of the environment, such as the sun, the moon, the earth, and water. The Inca people believed that these deities were not distant, abstract beings but rather active forces that influenced their lives. The most important gods were thought to have a direct relationship with the ruler, often considered to be divine or descended from these gods. As such, the Inca king, or Sapa Inca, was revered as the son of the sun god, Inti, and his authority was considered sacred.  
    The role of mythology extended beyond the divine and into the social and political spheres. It was through myth that the Inca legitimized their rule, connected their empire to the divine order, and reinforced the unity of their vast territories. Legends of the first rulers, such as Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo, were tied to creation myths that depicted them as divine figures sent to bring civilization to the world. These stories were used to justify Inca conquests and to explain the hierarchical structure of society.
