  From acclaimed literary biographer Claire Tomalin, a complex and fascinating exploration of the early life of the influential writer and public figure H. G. Wells 
   
   
   
  How did the first forty years of H. G. Wells's life shape the father of science fiction? 
   
   
   
  From his impoverished childhood in a working-class English family and determination to educate himself at any cost to his complicated marriages, love affair with socialism, and the serious ill health that dominated his twenties and thirties, H. G. Wells's extraordinary early life would set him on a path to become one of the world's most influential writers. The sudden success of The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds transformed his life and catapulted him to international fame; he became the writer who most inspired Orwell and countless others and predicted men walking on the moon seventy years before it happened. 
   
   
   
  In this remarkable, empathetic biography, Claire Tomalin paints a fascinating portrait of a man like no other, driven by curiosity and desiring reform, a socialist and a futurist whose new and imaginative worlds continue to inspire today.

  Stillpoint is the moment between thoughts, when all mental chatter ceases and the clarity of absolute mind emerges from within. Stillpoint is also an audiobook of short stories and original music from Grammy-winning producer, writer, and Zenist, Barrett Martin. Building on his previous two audiobooks that also came with musical soundtracks (The Singing Earth (2017) The Way Of The Zen Cowboy (2019), Stillpoint is his third audiobook with 18 stories and 15 original compositions that provide the soundtrack to the book. Both the book and the music were written and recorded during a calendar year between 2019-2020, when Barrett and his wife lived in a remote cliff house inside a wildlife refuge overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca, between Washington State and British Columbia. It’s a region where Barrett grew up and locals refer to as Cascadia, a wild and dramatic place with fierce storms, enchanting forests, and magical animals: bald eagles, ravens, hawks, screech owls, coyotes, raccoons, deer, bats, and the odd multicolored snake, are just some of the many creatures that reside in Cascadia and inspire the stories and songs in the book.

  The Leading Ladies at The School

  The characteristics of school leaders who are appointed merely on the instructions of their superiors differ significantly from those of principals who enter the profession out of a deep sense of calling. Leaders appointed by directive often carry out their responsibilities as an obligation or administrative duty, focusing primarily on compliance and fulfilling external expectations. Their authority is derived from positional power rather than intrinsic motivation. In contrast, school principals who assume their role on the basis of personal calling demonstrate a greater sense of commitment, passion, and responsibility for the growth of both students and teachers. Their leadership is not confined to administrative functions but extends to fostering a vision, building a positive culture, and inspiring others. The difference becomes evident in the way they make decisions, manage challenges, and build relationships within the school community. Ultimately, this divergence can be traced back to their initial motivations: while one group enters education out of necessity or appointment, the other chooses the path because of a genuine dedication to the educational mission. The women in this book remind us that leadership is not about power, it is not about status,  it is about service, it is about the courage to balance logic with compassion. Through their vision, education is transformed.
