Summary

Historical Censorship explores the suppression and manipulation of information throughout history, revealing how these actions have shaped political landscapes and individual freedoms. The book argues that censorship is a tool used to construct narratives that serve those in authority. It also examines how censorship has undermined democratic principles and intellectual progress.

 
The book analyzes historical periods such as the Reformation, where religious factions suppressed dissenting voices through book burnings, and totalitarian regimes, such as Nazi Germany, that used propaganda and persecution to enforce conformity. Historical Censorship progresses by defining censorship and exploring its various forms across different eras, from religious and state-sponsored control to contemporary issues like government surveillance and corporate influence, offering insights into resisting censorship today.

Supporting Student Executive...

Lisa Carey, Alexis Reid

In Supporting Student Executive Functions, two clinical and classroom experts deliver an insightful and accessible guide to executive functioning skills. Lisa Carey, Ed.D., and Alexis Reid, M.A., explain how these skills develop, how executive functioning challenges show up in the classroom, and how, if unaddressed, those challenges interfere with student learning. 
Part I builds an understanding of the science of executive functioning and how it develops during the K–12 years. Part II offers a practical, example-rich approach to help educators develop and support students’ executive functions with tips, suggestions, and action steps.  
Building on the research-backed Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Guidelines, the authors pay special attention to the Guideline “Provide options for Executive Functions” to show which types of supports are most meaningful at different stages of a student’s K–12 journey. 
Educators—but also medical professionals, caregivers and parents, and students themselves—will gain a deeper understanding of the latest science on executive functioning as well as valuable, easy-to-implement strategies to use in the classroom today.

Trauma Proof - Healing...

Benjamin Perks

From the moment they're born, babies seek a loving parental attachment. When that connection is absent, it derails childhood development in ways that can last a lifetime. The annual health costs of illness related to child trauma for North America and Europe alone are 1.3 trillion dollars. Child trauma is much more widespread than previously thought and passes from one generation to the next. But that's not the end of the story—there is overwhelming evidence that this intergenerational transmission can be disrupted. So why isn't the eradication of childhood trauma a tier-one public priority, like defense or growth? 
 
 
 
In Trauma Proof, Benjamin Perks argues that it must be, and that we can tackle it as a public health problem like COVID-19, by 1) making sure everyone is aware of the risk; 2) preventing transmission; and 3) opening pathways to healing. Perks shows we have the tools to make these three things happen, and the evidence to show they work. Psychology, neuroscience, and medicine have made huge leaps in the past twenty-five years. We now know what causes Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), how to reduce them, and how to address them. For the first time in history, we know child mistreatment is not inevitable. Trauma Proof is a rallying call to address child trauma as the public health crisis it is—because we can do better for kids, and we should.

Imagining The Bennets

Alex Urquhart

IMAGINING THE BENNETS is a monumental prequel, spanning forty years of family saga before Pride and Prejudice. It’s original, intricate, intelligent, and moving. The story offers a wonderful interpretation of the earlier era and is an imagination that is loyal to the original. The narrative is an uncompromising, romantic, hard-hitting, heart-rending, viscerally real, historically epic tale.
How did a rebellious boy with a miserable childhood, who ran away to sea at 15 and whose subsequent life was rich, varied and notable, become the sanguine Lewis Bennet? And how did a feisty, independent, accomplished and well-educated Catherine Gardiner become the worthy but pressured, driven and intense Mrs Bennet? They certainly encountered joy, sadness, trials and tribulations in bringing up their five girls, and somehow they shouldered their deepest fears for twenty years, knowing one or more good marriage was the only way to save the family from penury. How did they bring up those magnificent girls? It is a tale for the ages, as relevant today as it was then.
Who were the two individuals who became the middle-aged couple we know so well, and what of their earlier relationship? They fell madly in love and had the world before them. But what happened along the way, their highs and lows, to lead us the beginning of the wonderful Pride and Prejudice and the paucity of warmth we encounter? And what went on behind those well-loved scenes as Lizzie, Jane and Lydia made their marriages? We may proudly think we know, but we may have our own prejudices challenged. This story will inform and entertain you, containing much that was left unspoken in the great book upon which it is based!
