  Around the World in 80 Schools -...

  An original, thought-provoking account of one teacher's global journey to understand what really makes a good school. In an increasingly unstable world, schools need to shape our future generations. Yet in the UK and the US, education systems are still falling short. An unthinking hegemony now dominates education, rarely asking the fundamental questions: What makes a good school? What is education for? And how can schools best prepare young people for the future? Purpose has been replaced by metrics, from exam scores to Ofsted grades, leaving systems marked by falling attendance, recruitment crises, low teacher morale and widespread wellbeing concerns.Around the World in 80 Schools highlights schools that reject this narrow focus. Secondary teacher, Adam Seldon visits schools across every continent revealing places where education is understood as more than academic outcomes or a step up the ladder. Instead, he explores how different cultures define what makes a good school. The book explores regions that aren't generally well known for their schools, across Africa, America, central Asia, Australasia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. Adam's travels take him from elite institutions in metropolises like Mumbai and the first communist school in China, to schools in Africa's largest slums or those run by refugee children in rural Thailand. Each chapter blends theory and case studies to reveal what typical metrics miss.In the frenzied demands of a school day, it is easy to lose sight of what truly matters. This book provides a mixture of blue-sky inspiration to enable schools to reconnect with the true meaning of education and practical ideas to enable them to provide an experience that is more than just a transaction.

  Israelis and Palestinians - From...

  Jonathan Glover

  Can Israelis and Palestinians end their long conflict? The shocking violence of current events undermines hope, as does the long history of peace deals sabotaged by extremists on both sides. In this compelling and timely book, the eminent moral philosopher Jonathan Glover argues that one vital step towards progress is to better understand the disturbing psychology of the cycle of violence. 
   
   
   
  Glover explores the psychological flaws that entrap both sides: the urge to respond to wounds or humiliation with backlash; political or religious beliefs held with a rigidity that excludes compromise; and people's identity being shaped by the conflict in ways that make it harder to imagine or even desire alternatives. Drawing on the history of comparable conflicts that eased over time, Glover proposes some ways to gradually weaken the grip of this psychology. 
   
   
   
  Completed as casualties mounted in the latest political and humanitarian crisis, Israelis and Palestinians is essential for anyone concerned by the ongoing violence in the Middle East.

  Trash - A Poor White Journey

  Cedar Monroe, Liz Theoharis

  Every day across the US, 66 million poor white people pay the price for failing whiteness. In this sweeping debut, activist and chaplain Cedar Monroe writes indelibly about and for poor white people: about unlearning the American dream, untangling from white supremacy, and working for liberation alongside other poor folks. 
   
   
   
  Monroe introduces us to people who are poor and unhoused in a small town in Washington, who eke out a living on land that once provided timber for the nation. On the banks of the Chehalis River, we meet residents of the largest homeless encampment in the country, who face sweeps and evictions and are targeted by vigilantes before bringing their case to federal court. We watch a community grapple with desperation, government neglect, and its own racism. 
   
   
   
  Capitalism and colonialism have stolen land from Indigenous people, forced workers into dangerous jobs, and then left them to die when their labor was no longer needed. But what would happen if poor white folks rejected the empty promises of white supremacy and embraced solidarity with other poor people? What if they joined the resistance to the system that is, slowly or quickly, killing us all? Trash asks us to see anew the peril in which poor white people live and the choices we all must make.

  The Odyssey from Troy to Ithaca...

  Heroes & Immortals

  You know the name Odysseus. You know there was a wooden horse, a one-eyed giant, a woman weaving at a loom. But every time you have tried Homer, the names blurred, the gods argued, and you put it down somewhere around book three.
  
  Press play and the whole story runs as one unbroken tale, from the smoke over Troy to the bow no suitor can string. One chapter follows Odysseus blinding Polyphemus, bargaining with Circe, lashing himself to the mast for the Sirens and walking among the dead; the next returns to Ithaca, where Penelope outwits a hall full of men who want her husband declared dead. The gods speak in written dialogue, flawed and funny, Athena playing favorites while Poseidon nurses his grudge, and every hard name is eased in through the action so you never stop to wonder who is who.
  
  By the last chapter you will finally hold the entire Odyssey in your head as a single story about a man and a woman refusing to give up. Start with Troy burning, and let the sea do the rest.
