  One of the most creative and influential entrepreneurs of our timeBrains behind the Tesco Clubcard, the first and largest loyalty card globallyA successful pioneer in the data industry 
  We have heard of the hidden ways in which women are forgotten, unseen, overlooked, and the profound impact this has on us all. Now Edwina Dunn reveals what needs to happen in ourselves, our communities, and workplace to see lasting change. 
  A pioneer in data science research, business and female empowerment, Edwina Dunn uses her knowledge of research and data collection to present solutions, models and simple actions that impact on the lives of women and men. She has listened to women and knows the change we want to see in ourselves, in business, and in academic and government arenas. 
  Let’s talk about what a world where women are empowered looks like and it’s okay for women to embrace ambition and drive. Women represent just over half the world’s population. They are not secondary characters. What if they were empowered to realise their potential in leadership and decision-making roles? 
  Imagine a world of possibilities with equal pay progressions, rather than endless discussions. Let’s see what progress in individual fulfilment and societal change looks like. 
  This data-based guide is the manual that challenges the norm. It is the science-based exposé with insightful, inspiring, and ground-breaking evidence presenting a road map for us all. This conversation starter presents a strategy for the world we want to see and one that will make the world work better for women and men. 
  Edwina Dunn, a pioneer in feminist theory and gender studies, presents a compelling argument for social and economic equality. Her non-fiction work, When She's in the Room, is a testament to her commitment to feminism and the empowerment of women. 
  For fans of Jemma Roedel (She Thinks Like a Boss), David Novak (O Great One!), Mary Ann Sieghart (The Authority Gap), Laura Bates (Fix the System, Not the Women), and Marshall Goldsmith (Becoming Coachable).

  "Eye-popping" – Sunday Times
  "Brilliant" – Iain Dale
  ***
  An unputdownable true account of how a tenacious head teacher led one of the most challenging schools in the country to excellence.
  No Excuses charts an extraordinary principal's journey from the moment she took over at a failing secondary school in a deprived area, where less than a quarter of children attained five or more A*–C GCSEs, and how she set about the gruelling task of transforming its reputation using her zero-tolerance, tough-love approach.
  Armed only with a wicked sense of humour, fearless energy and a powerful vision, Alison Colwell put in place a stringent set of rules, including a strict uniform policy and a complete ban on mobile phones, provoking resistance and hostility from some parents, the wider community and on social media.
  This is the darkly funny, moving story of how, together, teachers and their – often troubled – pupils rebuilt a school and community, with an inspirational head at the helm.
  Charming, touching and full of brilliant leadership advice, this is the diary of the woman the Daily Mail labelled Britain's strictest head teacher.

  All Americans are familiar with the “day that will live in infamy.” At 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor, the advanced base of the United States Navy’s Pacific Fleet, was ablaze. It had been smashed by aircraft launched by the carriers of the Imperial Japanese Navy. All eight battleships had been sunk or badly damaged, 350 aircraft had been knocked out, and over 2,000 Americans lay dead. Indelible images of the USS Arizona exploding and the USS Oklahoma capsizing and floating upside down have been ingrained in the American conscience ever since. In less than an hour and a half the Japanese had almost wiped out America’s entire naval presence in the Pacific.  
  	Those who had decoded and seen the Japanese communications in early December 1941 would not be surprised when they heard about an attack on December 7, 1941. They would, however, be astonished when they heard where that attack took place. Posted on the other side of the world, it was early on the morning of December 8 in the Philippines when American general Douglas MacArthur received news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor hours earlier. With that, it could only be a matter of time before the Japanese attacked the Philippines. 
  	The Americans would turn the war in the Pacific around in the middle of 1942, but in the wake of Pearl Harbor and the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, the country was in desperate need of a morale boost, and it would come in the form of the Doolittle Raid. In part to show that the Japanese were not invincible, and in part to reassure the American public that the nation would not lose the war, the Doolittle Raid included both Army and Navy units that launched 16 land-based medium bombers from an aircraft carrier, a feat that was the first of its kind but also one involving a great deal of risk.
