  Everyone talks about leadership and teamwork, but where are the truly inspiring examples? Look closer, and you’ll find extraordinary small teams behind many of history’s greatest achievements. 
  It Takes Two or Three reveals the secrets of epic teamwork. Discover how small teams shaped the world—from the women’s rights movement in the 1800s to the Wright Brothers’ first flight in the early 1900s, from Hillary and Tenzing’s summit of Mount Everest to Apollo astronauts overcoming life-or-death crises. Even creative duos like Gilbert and Sullivan, who barely got along, produced legendary work. 
  With gripping true stories from the world of exploration and discovery, mountaineering, art and design, rock and roll, Hollywood, and much more, this book uncovers what makes a team succeed—and why even the best sometimes fall apart. Packed with valuable insights on leadership and innovation, and written by the award-winning author team of Borkan and Hirzel, It Takes Two or Three - The Superpower of Small Teams is an unforgettable journey that will change the way you think about collaborating with others.

  The personal accounts, educator portraits, and research findings assembled by Darrius A. Stanley in #BlackEducatorsMatter constitute an unstinting exploration of the experiences of Black K–12 teachers in the United States. Spotlighting the invaluable work of Black educators, this volume reveals that although they are underrepresented in educational institutions, they have profound positive influence not only on students of color but also on school climate and on all of society. 
   
   
   
  Contributions from both emerging and established scholars lay out the historical and contemporary issues that confront Black educators. Viewing this landscape through the lens of BlackCrit and other race-centric perspectives, the contributors critically frame and explicitly name the challenges. They make plain that a common thread in the Black experience in United States schools is antiblackness, which remains an endemic feature of United States society even as recent social justice campaigns and public discourse on Critical Race Theory have brought greater awareness to longstanding inequities. 
   
   
   
  This work illuminates the efforts of Black educators to fight oppression and institutionalized racism in schools. It provides strategies that district and school leadership can adopt to recruit, retain, and support Black educators in schools.

  Dr. Alicia Blando learned during the early days of the HIV epidemic that American medical practices fail to holistically support patients. Seeing a gap in medical care, Dr. Blando started seeking advice from unconventional counselors, such as psychics, mediums and astrologers, as well as learning from indigenous healers. “Open for Interpretation: A Doctor’s Journey into Astrology” follows Dr. Blando’s self-discovery journey through her astrological chart and demonstrates how readers can apply this ancient practice to their own path to self-discovery.  
  In conjunction with Western medicine, Dr. Blando believes that the tenets of astrology can support a person’s health, wellbeing, and self-understanding, and can even offer insight into predispositions for certain diseases and illnesses. Dr. Blando takes readers on her pursuit of life’s age-old question, “Am I walking the right path?” She travels from Manhattan to the Peruvian Amazon, Belize, and Bolivia, and learns about time-proven, holistic methods of healing. In her stunning memoir, she shares her story of finally finding the guide she’s been seeking—and explains how we can all use that map to access our higher selves and untapped potential.  
  In “Open for Interpretation”, Dr. Blando’s expedition off the beaten path leads her to true self-exploration and connection with the world around her, as well as a desire to share her knowledge and experience.

  With its 26 World Heritage Sites, Iran is one of the top 10 countries in the world that represent a masterpiece of human creativity and an exceptional testimony to human civilisation.
  It was 13,000 years ago on the Iranian plateau that Homo sapiens first settled with the advent of agriculture and the first permanent human settlement.
  Zoroastrianism, the world's first monotheistic religion, originated in Persia 4,000 years ago.
