Summary

Translation Impact explores how the act of translation has shaped world history by facilitating knowledge transfer and influencing societies across cultures. Moving beyond the idea of translation as a simple linguistic process, it presents translation as a powerful agent of historical change. The book examines how the interpretation of translated texts has determined which ideas gained traction and how societies evolved, reframing our understanding of historical events. 

 
For example, the book highlights the translation of religious texts and its influence on religious thought, social norms, and political power structures. The book progresses through different sections, starting with religious texts, continuing with scientific and philosophical knowledge, and concluding with legal and political documents. 

 
One intriguing insight is how the translation of Greek and Roman texts into Arabic during the Middle Ages spurred scientific advancements and shaped intellectual discourse. By examining original manuscripts, correspondence, and comparative linguistic analysis, Translation Impact bridges history, linguistics, and cultural studies, offering a novel perspective on the forces that have shaped our globalized world.

    That Behaviour Book - The simple...

    What kind of teacher are you? What values, beliefs and principles do successful teachers have and how do they sustain these in the face of challenging pupil behaviour?
    In this timely book, Stephen Baker contends that rigid punishment systems weaponize young people's defiance against them and that punishment doesn't work. He believes that teachers need to take responsibility for behaviour and to lead it, not just 'manage' it, that we need to love the kids (even if we don't like them), that children are people, thatweare an event intheirlives, and that teaching is a relationship-based activity.
    With each chapter followed by engaging 'takeaway tasks',That Behaviour Bookwill allow teachers to rapidly improve both their practice and their relationships with pupils and classes. The book looks at the values that will sustain you as a teacher, how routines will help you teach better and what 'positive expectations' really mean, making child-centred relational practice easy to apply in the classroom. Teachers will have a more realistic appreciation of their own situation and of the context in which they teach. In short, this book will help teachers learn how to get the very best out of their pupils.
    That Behaviour Bookis an essential guide for both the beginner and the more experienced teacher. Its unique tone makes it an indispensable companion for the busy teacher, providing a sense of connection, challenge and reassurance all at once. Stephen Baker's anecdotes, drawn from his years as a pupil, teacher and trainer pack an emotional punch and are often hilarious.
    Suitable for all teachers.

    [How to Be Open-Minded] unfolds as an intimate exploration of consciousness, where certainty dissolves into curiosity and rigid thinking transforms into fluid understanding. Through delicate prose that traces the architecture of thought, this meditation on mental flexibility reveals how our preset notions sit like familiar furniture in darkened rooms of the mind, waiting to be rearranged. At its heart, this work isn't just about changing what we think—it's about transforming how we think, offering readers a profound journey through the landscapes of belief, doubt, and the spaces between. Like a carefully crafted map of consciousness, it guides us through the subtle art of holding ideas lightly, showing how true strength lies not in the rigidity of our convictions but in their capacity to evolve.

    Dowding’s Despatch - The Leader...

    In September 1946, the London Gazette published a dispatch from Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh C T Dowding that was titled simply: The Battle of Britain. Written and submitted to the Air Ministry in 1941, this document became the very framework for the accepted Battle of Britain narrative which has been established across the following eighty years. Set out by the leader of the "Few" himself, its authoritative tone could surely be considered a definitive outline of the battle, how it was fought and the eventual outcome. It even retrospectively set the dates for the commencement and conclusion of the campaign. 
     
      
     
    In this work, Andy Saunders takes a critical look at Dowding's dispatch and analyzes the facts and details contained in that important document. He also puts "flesh on the bones" of the matters that the former commander-in-chief of RAF Fighter Command outlines, adding intriguing historical detail and perspective to the 1946 publication. Additionally, Andy looks at the behind-the-scenes machinations at the highest levels of government and Air Ministry before the dispatch finally saw the light of day. As a historical document, Dowding's London Gazette dispatch is worthy of the critical analysis and factual expansion which the author provides in what is a uniquely different look at the Battle of Britain.
