The Working Classroom - How to...

Andy Griffith, Matt Bromley

Schools do amazing work to support children from disadvantaged backgrounds. But this book will enable them to do more. Disadvantage comes in many forms, but cultural poverty, where some students have relative knowledge gaps compared with their more affluent peers, can be addressed successfully by schools. The Working Classroom explores how working-class students are disadvantaged by a flawed system and what schools can do to close the gap.
Written by two experienced authors with a deep understanding of the challenges that poverty and low aspiration can bring, and a passion for social justice, The Working Classroom examines how and why we must seek systemic changes. The book focuses on actions within the control of teachers and school leaders which will ensure that we create a socially just education system - one that builds on the rich heritage of the working-class, rather than seeing their background as a weakness. It offers practical ways for students and families to build on the best of working-class culture, whilst also empowering teachers, students and parents to change the system.
The Working Classroom provides teachers with useful methods to improve the cultural capital of students from disadvantaged backgrounds that can be easily replicated and implemented in their own setting. Backed up by practical case studies that have a proven impact in schools with high levels of deprivation, this book will enable teachers to audit their current provision and encourage them to adopt new systems and practices so that they, and the wider school, will have a greater impact on the lives of working-class students and their families.
Suitable for both teachers and leaders in a secondary school or sixth form college setting who seek to support social change in education and anyone in the corporate or non-education world who wants to practice effective altruism or philanthropy.

The Sterilization Experiments -...

Davis Truman

In the shadows of history, some stories challenge our understanding of humanity. 'The Sterilization Experiments: The Barbaric Legacy of Carl Clauberg' is one such story. 
The atrocities committed during the Nazi era are a dark stain on human history. Among the many horrors of this period were the medical experiments conducted on concentration camp prisoners by Nazi doctors. One of the most notorious of these doctors was Carl Clauberg, an expert in gynecology who was tasked with developing a method for sterilizing women quickly and inexpensively. Clauberg's experiments were carried out with a callous disregard for human life and dignity, resulting in immeasurable suffering for his victims. The legacy of these experiments continues to shape our understanding of medical ethics, human rights, and the dangers of unchecked power and ideology.  
The Sterilization Experiments' is not just a recounting of facts; it is a solemn reminder of the depths to which humanity can sink and a call to remember the victims who endured unimaginable suffering. 
This book is an essential read for those who seek to understand the true cost of hatred and the importance of vigilance against such evils. It challenges us to confront the past and ensure that such atrocities never happen again.

Tides of Fortune - The Rise and...

Zack Cooper

An ambitious look at how the twentieth century's great powers devised their military strategies and what their implications mean for military competition between the United States and China 
 
 
 
How will the United States and China evolve militarily in the years ahead? Many experts believe the answer to this question is largely unknowable. But Zack Cooper argues that the American and Chinese militaries are following a well-trodden path. For centuries, the world's most powerful militaries have adhered to a remarkably consistent pattern of behavior, determined largely by their leaders' perceptions of relative power shifts. By uncovering these trends, this book places the evolving military competition between the United States and China in historical context. 
 
 
 
Drawing on a decade of research and on his experience at the White House and the Pentagon, Cooper outlines a novel explanation for how militaries change as they rise and decline. Tides of Fortune examines the paths of six great powers of the twentieth century, tracking how national leaders adjusted their defense objectives, strategies, and investments in response to perceived shifts in relative power. All these militaries followed a common pattern, and their experiences shed new light on both China's recent military modernization and America's potential responses.
