  At a time when popular solutions to the educational plight of poor children of color are imposed from the outside, the acclaimed Algebra Project and its founder, Robert Moses, offer a vision of school reform based in the power of communities. Founded on the belief that math-science literacy is a prerequisite for full citizenship in society, the Project works with entire communities—parents, teachers, and especially students—to create a culture of literacy around algebra, a crucial stepping-stone to college math and opportunity. 
   
   
   
  Telling the story of this remarkable program, Robert Moses draws on lessons from the 1960s Southern voter registration he famously helped organize: "Everyone said sharecroppers didn't want to vote. It wasn't until we got them demanding to vote that we got attention. Today, when kids are falling wholesale through the cracks, people say they don't want to learn. We have to get the kids themselves to demand what everyone says they don't want." 
   
   
   
  We see the Algebra Project organizing community by community. Older kids serve as coaches for younger students and build a self-sustained tradition of leadership. And we see the remarkable success stories of schools like the predominately poor Hart School in Bessemer, Alabama, which outscored the city's middle-class flagship school in just three years.

  A vibrant new vision of food justice that celebrates Black food and recognizes the power of gathering to create sustainable, systemic change. 
   
  How can we create a world where everyone has enough? We can start by focusing less on lack and more on abundance. 
   
  In Gather, anthropologist Ashanté M. Reese argues for a new vision of food justice that centers the resilience of Black communities and argues that community nourishment deserves as much consideration as individual health. Highlighting four spaces of gathering―gardens, family reunions, repasts, and protests ―Reese offers rich, on–the–ground studies of the places and people who make up the food justice movement. From Black church networks and community farms to student protests, these studies illuminate ways we can challenge structures of power and nourish ourselves, body and soul. In a world of social isolation and unequal food systems, Gather offers a compelling argument for the beauty and political power of togetherness.

  The Integrated Wolf - Identity...

  Most people are not broken. They are armoured. 
  They learned early to suppress, control, over-function, and perform — not because they were weak, but because it worked. It kept them safe. It kept them accepted. But somewhere along the way, the armour became the identity. 
  The Integrated Wolf is the journey back. 
  Written by Jyee Byrne, founder of Wolfpack Support Services and creator of The Wolfpack Way framework, this book moves through five essential stages of integration — from recognising the armour you built to survive, to regulating your nervous system, repairing your relationships, leading with presence, and leaving a legacy that does not require perfection. 
  This is not therapy. It is not a clinical manual. It is lived experience translated into structure — grounded in trauma-informed education, nervous-system literacy, and more than a decade of frontline psychosocial work. 
  Inside you will find:How to identify the masks you built to survive and what drives themWhy triggers are not the problem — and what isHow to build regulation as a daily practice, not a crisis responseWhat co-regulation really means in relationships and leadershipHow one regulated nervous system can shift an entire room, family, or organisation 
  This book is for the men rebuilding presence. The women relearning trust. The leaders done performing strength and ready to embody it.

  She is But a Woman - Queenship...

  She is but a Woman, the first in-depth study of medieval Scottish queens, investigates the relationship between gender and power in the medieval Scottish court by exploring the art of queenship as practised by Joan Beaufort and Mary of Guelders, queens of James I and James II. These women were excluded from authority but clearly possessed power as wives and mothers of kings. They established and cultivated relationships with members of the court, learned about Scottish political life and supported their husbands in the business of government. The book examines for the first time the arrivals of Joan and Mary in Scotland, their social and political status, their relationships with their husbands and families, and their roles in international diplomacy.
  This modern re-evaluation of the role and power of the medieval queen is a thematic exploration rather than a biographical study. It situates the experiences of Joan and Mary within a broader European context and provides a new perspective on Scotland's political, social and cultural links with Europe in the fifteenth century.

  Many men carry burdens invisible to the outside world, locked behind a carefully maintained façade.
