Synopsis

In a time of unprecedented change and uncertainty, Lessons Unlearned revisits the enduring legacy of Horace's Complaint, a groundbreaking book that exposed the deep-seated problems plaguing American high schools. Originally published in 1984, Horace's Complaint remains startlingly relevant today, offering a sobering reminder of the urgent need for educational reform.

Lessons Unlearned delves into the daily struggles of teachers, burdened by excessive paperwork, inadequate resources, and a demoralizing lack of support. It exposes the plight of students, frustrated by a curriculum that fails to ignite their curiosity and stifled by a system that values conformity over creativity. The book also examines the impact of technology, the changing demographics of the student population, and the evolving role of teachers in the modern era.

Lessons Unlearned is a call to action, a plea for us to reimagine education, to create a system that is truly worthy of the name. It challenges us to confront the deep-seated inequalities that continue to plague our schools, to address the mental health crisis among our students, and to embrace the power of technology to transform teaching and learning. The book implores us to rekindle our faith in the transformative power of education, to believe that every child deserves a quality education that prepares them for success in life.

Written in a clear and engaging style, Lessons Unlearned is a must-read for every educator, every parent, and every concerned citizen. It is a book that will challenge our assumptions, provoke our thinking, and inspire us to demand better for our children. It is a book that has the power to change lives and transform our communities.

In this updated and expanded edition, we revisit the themes and insights of Horace's Complaint, bringing them into dialogue with the contemporary challenges facing American education. We explore the challenges of assessment and accountability, the need for curriculum reform, and the importance of parental involvement. We also consider the role of policymakers, educators, and the public in driving change.

Lessons Unlearned is a timely and essential book that offers a roadmap for transforming our schools and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to succeed.

What is Evidence? Understanding...

Rashad Kheir

This book is about evidence. Its purpose is to shed light on the nature of evidence and to do away with the mystique associated with the meaning of the word. Concepts falling within the subject are defined and explained, as are the different categories of evidence. Without dealing with the question of causation, an explanation of the nature of evidence would not be complete. Part of a complete treatment of the subject is to explain the place and importance of causation. This, the book does, showing the reader how to identify causal relationships and how to answer the question of causation according to the context at hand. Whether you are a student of law, a debater, or someone interested in assessing the evidentiary value of claims or arguments, this book, I trust, will be an indispensable aid to you.

Empire of God - How the...

Robert Spencer

Western civilization is generally regarded as the child of Athens, Jerusalem, and Rome. That is, in the West, our philosophical and political thought is derived from that of the ancient Greeks; our Christian religion comes from the Jewish religion, and both of these came to us via the Roman Empire. 
 
 
 
Western society has other forefathers as well: we would be unwise to give the Byzantine Empire short shrift. The ways in which it has influenced our world for the good, and indeed, created the parameters of our society at its healthiest and strongest, are insufficiently appreciated today. 
 
 
 
If the United States were to last as long as the Roman Empire, including its Byzantine period, it would have to continue as an independent country until the year 2899. To maintain a unified nation state for over eleven hundred years is a remarkable achievement by any standard, and the Romans accomplished it while facing existential threats and efforts to extinguish their polity during virtually every period of their existence. Now, nearly six hundred years after the demise of the empire, its influence still resonates in a number of fields. 
 
 
 
There is no arguing with success. It's time we took notice.

Treating Traumatic Loss - A...

PhD Jamison S. Bottomley,...

Although grief and feelings of loss after the death of a loved one are natural and universal experiences, sudden, violent, and traumatic loss puts survivors at increased risk for a range of mental health problems and greatly complicates the grieving process. The Grief Recovery with Individualized Evidence-Based Formulation (GRIEF) approach is designed specifically for treating individuals suffering from the grief that results from a traumatic death, and provides a transdiagnostic, modular, and comprehensive framework to target the common underlying symptoms of PTSD, depression, and prolonged grief disorder (PGD). 
 
 
 
Treating Traumatic Loss starts with an introduction to traumatic loss and the GRIEF approach model, then guides you, step by step, through treatment planning—from conducting a thorough assessment of symptoms informed by a multicultural lens, to selecting modules for intervention. A chapter dedicated to each of eight modules provides recommendations on how to perform intervention techniques in your practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), experiential, and narrative practices and strategies from both the trauma and grief fields are synthesized into one module-based approach that addresses the unique needs of your clients—providing a powerful, flexible, and individualized way to improve treatment outcomes.

Spiderweb Capitalism - How...

Kimberly Kay Hoang

In 2015, the anonymous leak of the Panama Papers brought to light millions of financial and legal documents exposing how the superrich hide their money using complex webs of offshore vehicles. Spiderweb Capitalism takes you inside this shadow economy, uncovering the mechanics behind the invisible, mundane networks of lawyers, accountants, company secretaries, and fixers who facilitate the illicit movement of wealth across borders and around the globe. 
 
 
 
Kimberly Kay Hoang conducted hundreds of in-depth interviews with private wealth managers, fund managers, entrepreneurs, C-suite executives, bankers, auditors, and other financial professionals. She traces the flow of capital from offshore funds in places like the Cayman Islands, Samoa, and Panama to special-purpose vehicles and holding companies in Singapore and Hong Kong, and how it finds its way into risky markets onshore in Vietnam and Myanmar. Hoang reveals the strategies behind spiderweb capitalism and examines the moral dilemmas of making money in legal, financial, and political gray zones. 
 
 
 
Spiderweb Capitalism sheds critical light on how global elites capitalize on risky frontier markets, and deepens our understanding of the paradoxical ways in which global economic growth is sustained through states where the line separating the legal from the corrupt is not always clear.
