Summary

In 'Her Royal Highness Woman,' Max O'Rell combines wit and keen observation to explore the intricacies of gender relations and societal expectations in the late 19th century. Employing a conversational and satirical literary style, O'Rell critiques the traditional roles assigned to women and celebrates their multi-faceted nature. This book stands as a pivotal commentary on the burgeoning women's rights movement, reflecting the shifting tides of gender norms in an era ripe for social change. O'Rell's keen sense of irony enables him to present complex truths about femininity and masculinity, making this work both amusing and thought-provoking. Max O'Rell, born in 1857, was a French author and humorist whose experiences living in both Paris and England provided a unique lens through which he examined cultural differences. His background as a lecturer and his engagement with progressive ideas about womanhood likely inspired his rigorous yet humorous discussion of woman's position in society. O'Rell's insight into the evolving perceptions of women reveals his advocacy for their rights amid a patriarchal framework, positioning him as an early supporter of feminism. 'Her Royal Highness Woman' is a must-read for anyone interested in gender studies, social commentary, or literary humor of the Victorian era. O'Rell's charming prose and unabashed exploration of women's roles invite readers to reflect on long-standing tropes while enjoying an engaging narrative. This book promises to enlighten, amuse, and provoke thought, making it a significant contribution to both literature and feminist discourse.

    Written by speaker and teacher Peter Radford, Love Teaching, Keep Teaching: The essential guide to improving wellbeing at all levels in schools is a practical guide to staying well in a high-pressure profession. 
In the midst of a recruitment crisis and a massive exodus of teachers from our schools, now is the time for some joined-up thinking about teacher wellbeing and mental health. 
Offering insightful advice and practical strategies, Peter invites you to think differently about the way education is ‘done’ and how you can keep doing the job you love without sacrificing your health and wellbeing. 
Love Teaching, Keep Teaching paints a picture of a truly ‘healthy school’ as being one in which the value of each staff member and student is fundamental to everything we do. It also shares a fresh perspective on school leadership, encouraging leaders to rethink common practices and to explore the rewards and benefits of employing a people-focused approach. 
Split into three parts, the book covers the following key aspects of improving wellbeing in schools: 
1. Teachers and leaders improving their own wellbeing. 
2. The role of teachers and leaders in improving wellbeing across schools. 
3. The challenge to change the culture of our schools and education system. 
Peter challenges the current way of measuring student progress and appraising teachers, and sends a wake-up call to encourage professionals and policymakers to ‘do’ education differently in order to prevent the current exodus of teachers from the profession. Furthermore, Peter also draws upon his own experiences as a teacher struggling under the heavy workload that ultimately played a part in his subsequent breakdown – and draws key lessons from his reflections to help other educators avoid the same fate. 
Suitable for teachers and school leaders in both primary and secondary settings.

    The Battle of Waterloo, fought on June 18, 1815, near the village of Waterloo in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands (present-day Belgium), was a decisive conflict that ended the Napoleonic Wars. The battle pitted the French army, led by Napoleon Bonaparte, against two powerful forces from the Seventh Coalition. One of these was a British-led coalition under the command of the Duke of Wellington, which included troops from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Hanover, Brunswick, and Nassau. The other force was a larger Prussian army commanded by Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher. Together, these forces effectively crushed Napoleon's ambitions and marked the final chapter in his reign. The battle was also known as the Battle of Mont Saint-Jean (to the French) or La Belle Alliance (to the Prussians). 
The events leading to Waterloo began when Napoleon returned to power in March 1815, following his exile to the island of Elba. His return prompted his former enemies to form the Seventh Coalition, a group determined to prevent his resurgence. The British and Prussian armies were stationed along France's northern border, preparing for a possible confrontation. Napoleon, keen to defeat his enemies before they could join forces, planned to strike at each army individually. On June 16, he attacked the Prussian army at the Battle of Ligny, inflicting a significant defeat, which forced the Prussians to retreat northward. However, the Prussian retreat was conducted in good order, and they maintained contact with Wellington's forces, who were stationed nearby.

    Unassimilable - An Asian...

    A scholar and activist’s brilliant socio-political examination of Asian Americans who refuse to assimilate and instead build their own belonging on their own terms outside of mainstream American institutions. 
In this hard-hitting and deeply personal book, a combination of manifesto and memoir, scholar, sociologist, and activist Bianca Mabute-Louie transforms the ways we understand race, class, citizenship, and the concept of assimilation and its impact on Asian American communities from the nineteenth century to present day. 
UNASSIMILABLE opens with a focus on the San Gabriel Valley (SGV), the first Asian ethnoburb in Los Angeles County and in the nation, where she grew up. A suburban neighborhood with a conspicuous Asian immigrant population, SGV thrives not because of its assimilation into Whiteness, but because of its unapologetic catering to its immigrant community. 
Mabute-Louie then examines “Predominantly White Institutions With A lot of Asians” and how these institutions shape the racial politics of Asian Americans and Asian internationals, including the fight against affirmative action and the fight for ethnic studies. She moves on to interrogate the role of the religion, showing how the immigrant church is a sanctuary even as it is an extension of colonialism and the American Empire. In the book’s conclusion, Bianca looks to the future, boldly proposing a reconsideration of the term Asian American for a new label that better clarifies who Asians in America are today. 
UNASSIMILABLE offers a radical vision of Asian American political identity informed by a refusal of Whiteness and collective care for each other. It is a forthright declaration against assimilation and in service of cross-racial, anti-imperialist solidarity and revolutionary politics. Scholarly yet accessible, informative and informed, this book is a major addition to Ethnic Studies and American Studies.
