  What if education could heal the planet, restore equity, and reimagine what it means to be human? 
  In Educating for a Sustainable Future, Brian Gibson invites readers to embark on a bold intellectual and moral journey—one that redefines learning in the age of climate crisis, social inequality, and economic uncertainty. With clarity, compassion, and vision, Gibson challenges the limitations of capitalist models that have shaped our schools, societies, and sense of purpose. 
  Drawing on critical pedagogy, ecological philosophy, and contemporary ethics, this book examines how education can become a transformative force, cultivating empathy, creativity, and sustainability in every learner. It proposes a radical rethinking of how we teach, what we value, and why we learn. 
  Through thought-provoking analysis and inspiring real-world examples, Gibson shows that true education is not about competing for success, but about co-creating a just, sustainable, and flourishing world. 
  Inside you’ll discover:How current education systems perpetuate inequality and ecological harmWhat a post-capitalist framework for learning might look likeWays to cultivate ethical, democratic, and environmentally conscious classroomsStrategies for aligning education with the values of justice, care, and sustainability 
  Educating for a Sustainable Future is a powerful call to educators, policymakers, and global citizens who believe that a better world begins in the classroom—and that learning itself must evolve if humanity is to thrive.

  A Complete Summary of Atomic Habits 
  Hired as the performance director of professional cycling for England in 2003, Dave Brailsford had his work cut out for him. For the previous century, British cyclists performed terribly, winning only one gold medal and never winning the Tour de France.Brailsford had a plan to turn around British cycling. He called his strategy ‚ the aggregation of marginal gains. This involves deconstructing every aspect of riding a bike, and then consistently improving each aspect by 1%. Over time, these small changes compound into incredible performance outcomes. Brailsford implemented hundreds of small improvements, both obvious (e.g. equipping better bike seats) and non-obvious (finding the best pillow and mattress so the cyclists had optimal sleep). The results were extreme. British cyclists won 66 Olympic/Paralympic gold medals, 5 Tour de France races, and set numerous world records in the decade after Brailsford began.The image to the right shows the results of both improving and regressing by 1% every day. Over the course of a week the changes are small, but over the course of a year the changes are massive.Over a short period of time, the effects of compounding are barely noticeable. But over longer periods of time, compounding will generate very powerful outcomes.

  The Criminal Record Complex -...

  Most employers in the United States routinely conduct criminal background checks on job applicants, weeding out those with criminal convictions. In this powerful analysis, Melissa Burch sheds light on one of the most significant forces of social and economic marginalization of our time—discrimination on the basis of criminal records. Chronicling the daily interactions of hiring managers, workforce development professionals, and job-seekers with felony convictions in Southern California, Burch shows that this discrimination is not simply a matter of employer bias. Hiring is shaped by a set of institutions, organizations, and industries that promote the erroneous idea that people with criminal records are dangerous to employ. Burch places today's routine practice of background screening within racialized notions of risk originating in early capitalist development, tracing how, over decades, criminal background checks became a convenient catch-all, leveraged by entities with a direct interest in growing the practice. Despite this reach, however, Burch discovers that small business owners tend to put less value on background checks, trusting their own judgment. Approaching the issue from both personal and policy perspectives, The Criminal Record Complex upends what we thought we knew about the causes of criminal record discrimination.
