    FROM THE FOUNDER OF THE GLOBAL 1000 HOURS OUTSIDE MOVEMENT 
     
    The average American now spends just four to seven minutes outside each day, while we spend four to seven hours using devices with screens. Our physical, mental, emotional, and relational health has suffered--and so has that of our children.  
     
    But there is a solution: get outside!  
     
    A homeschooling mother of five and the founder of the global 1000 Hours Outside movement, Ginny Yurich explains how we got to this point--and how to get back to a healthier, more engaging relationship with the world outside.  
     
    With a mom's heart and an educator's eye, Ginny shows you 
    ● the importance of unstructured play for children 
    ● what boredom actually contributes to our brains 
    ● the value of sunlight and social play 
    ● the role of play in lifelong learning 
    ● how to make time outside more attractive than screen time 
     
    If you want your kids to grow up curious, resilient, and with a sense of adventure and community, it's essential to make outside play a priority. This book shows you why and how.

    The Reconquista - Christian...

    The Reconquista, meaning "reconquest" in Spanish, refers to the centuries-long struggle by Christian kingdoms to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule. Its origins trace back to the early 8th century, when the Islamic Umayyad forces crossed the Strait of Gibraltar in 711 and swiftly conquered much of what is now Spain and Portugal. The defeat of the Visigothic King Roderic at the Battle of Guadalete marked the beginning of Muslim dominance in Iberia. Within a few years, nearly the entire peninsula had fallen under Muslim control, becoming part of the vast Umayyad Caliphate. This rapid conquest, however, did not erase the memory of Christian rule, especially in the remote and mountainous regions of the north. 
    In these isolated territories, remnants of the Visigothic nobility and clergy began to organize resistance. The Kingdom of Asturias, founded by Pelayo, a nobleman of likely Visigothic heritage, emerged as the first bastion of Christian defiance. According to tradition, Pelayo’s victory at the Battle of Covadonga in 722 symbolized divine favor and the beginning of a sacred mission to restore Christian rule. Though modest in scope, this victory held immense symbolic weight and inspired future generations to continue the struggle. Over time, Asturias would expand and give rise to other Christian polities such as León and Castile, each taking up the cause of the Reconquista in their own right. 
    The idea of reconquest was not purely political; it was deeply tied to religious identity. The fall of the Visigothic kingdom was viewed by many Christians as a divine punishment for past sins, but it also fostered a sense of purpose and redemption. Reclaiming lost territories became not just a matter of sovereignty but a spiritual imperative. The Christian leaders and their subjects saw themselves as the defenders of the true faith, fighting to restore a sacred order.

    A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year 
     
     
     
    In Deliberative Policymaking, Elizabeth Grant advances a fresh framework for making collective decisions about US schools. Grant argues that education policy can be made better by improving education policymaking methods. Informed by accounts of policymaking actions as well as her own experience, she offers a keen assessment of which components of existing education policy and policymaking have been effective and which have not. 
     
     
     
    Grant presents new approaches to the craft of policymaking. She endorses policy design thinking, including user-centered design; greater attention to education statecraft, such as reinforcing federal-state relations; and partnering with intermediaries who can help policymakers determine where the public interest lies. She underscores how these practices support democratized policymaking and implementation, which can lead to more inclusive, equitable policy. 
     
     
     
    Grant notes that the success of policy work depends on civic capacity to initiate and sustain improvement efforts, and on policy's ability to meet the demands of the time. This book is essential for anyone who makes policy or is interested in education reform.
