Summary

Foreword by Ian Gilbert.Primary school teachers are working harder than ever, and have more and more to do in the finite time they have with their pupils, but Mark Creasy believes it doesn't need to be like this. With rare experience in both primary and secondary phases and at leadership as well as classroom levels, Mark is ideally placed to comment on what works and what doesn't - and in this book he urges teachers to recognise that there is another way.In Independent Thinking on Primary Teaching, Mark encourages teachers to stop and consider the things they do daily in the classroom and presents a series of prompts, nudges and suggestions to help them achieve the same (or even better) results by working smarter, not harder. In so doing he shares a wealth of practical and easily transferable tips for immediate use in the classroom, all designed to streamline teachers' schedules and lighten their workload while enlivening children's learning.These are in no way doctrines, or silver bullets for success, and nothing that Mark advocates requires further investment of either time or money; rather, these 'working smarter' tips are geared to win teachers their evenings and weekends back, something that many more teachers need than is healthy for the profession.Essential reading for primary school teachers.Independent Thinking on Primary Teaching is one of a number of books in the Independent Thinking On ... series from the award-winning Independent Thinking Press.

    Radiology has revolutionized the medical field, transforming the way diseases and injuries are diagnosed and treated. What began as an accidental discovery of X-rays in 1895 by Wilhelm Roentgen has now evolved into a sophisticated and indispensable branch of medicine. Through the continuous advancement of imaging technologies, radiology has become an essential tool for early detection, precise diagnosis, and targeted treatments, improving patient outcomes and shaping modern healthcare.  
  
The role of radiology extends far beyond simple imaging. It serves as the foundation for nearly every medical specialty, providing crucial insights into internal structures that were once inaccessible. From detecting fractures and infections to identifying tumors and guiding complex surgeries, radiology has significantly reduced the need for exploratory procedures, minimizing risks for patients. As imaging techniques have improved, so has the ability to diagnose conditions at earlier stages, allowing for more effective interventions and better prognoses.  
  
Technological advancements in radiology have propelled the field into a new era of precision and efficiency. The introduction of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and nuclear medicine has expanded diagnostic capabilities, enabling physicians to view the human body in unprecedented detail. Digital imaging, artificial intelligence, and automation have further enhanced the accuracy and speed of diagnosis, reducing human error and streamlining workflows. These innovations have also made radiology more accessible, allowing for remote diagnostics and teleradiology, which are especially beneficial in underserved areas.

    Administrative law is focused on the control of decision-making in government and the public sector. People are affected by it in a wide variety of contexts, including immigration, social welfare, public health, housing, planning, licensing, taxation, and policing. Administrative law sets standards that government and public sector bodies must follow. It also provides a range of avenues for challenging their decisions, such as complaining to an ombudsman, appealing to a tribunal, or applying to a court for judicial review.This Very Short Introduction is a clear and concise guide to administrative law that explains its key features in an accessible and practical way for students, journalists, government officials, and everyday listeners. From internal review and freedom of information, to public inquiries and anti-corruption controls, the book gives listeners a broad overview of the subject. Drawing on material from diverse legal systems, such as the UK, Australia, Canada, the USA, India, and Hong Kong, this Very Short Introduction is relevant to all the major common law jurisdictions.

    Dark Psychology - Mental...

    Why does understanding a psychological risk lead to physical reactions? The answer lies in human anatomy, specifically in the mechanisms behind real pain. Is mental pain comparable to physical pain? How does intense pain manifest? When it comes to physical pain, the process is straightforward. We rarely consider the basic motor reflexes controlled by the spine. 
  
During physical sensation, a nervous impulse is transmitted through the nerves to the corresponding part of the brain, which then sends a response impulse to an organ. But how does mental pain occur? Our bodies possess a self-regulation function for all physiological processes. In essence, the brain responds to changes in the body's chemical processes. 
  
It’s likely that emotions cause some form of change in the body, such as in the blood’s composition. This change is then transmitted to the brain, which sends a response impulse to an organ, resulting in real pain. This phenomenon is known as the psychological cause of real pain. 
  
For example, if you’re afraid of the dark, you might experience discomfort or a choking sensation in your throat. It feels as if something is obstructing your breathing. The fear isn’t of the darkness itself but of what might be lurking within it. This fear is based on information you've gathered throughout your life. A child, for instance, doesn’t fear the dark until they’re told what might be in it. This is what we call conscious fear.
