The Conflict's Roots

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

The Cold War, a period of intense rivalry and tension between the United States and the Soviet Union, profoundly shaped the world from the late 1940s to the early 1990s. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of this pivotal period in history, exploring its origins, events, and consequences.

We delve into the factors that led to the rise of the Cold War, including the ideological divide between capitalism and communism, the aftermath of World War II, and the emergence of the United States and the Soviet Union as global powers. We examine the major events of the Cold War, such as the Berlin Crisis, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, and the Space Race, which brought the world to the brink of nuclear war and reshaped the global balance of power.

We also investigate the Cold War's impact on various aspects of society, including politics, economics, culture, and science. The Cold War fueled a global arms race, spurred technological advancements, and influenced everything from popular culture to the arts.

Furthermore, we explore the legacy of the Cold War and its implications for the 21st century. The end of the Cold War ushered in a new era of globalization, but it also left behind a number of challenges, including nuclear proliferation, regional conflicts, and economic inequality.

The Roman Empire Uncovered -...

Rogan Fish

The Roman Empire, one of history's most influential superpowers, traces its origins to a blend of myth, legend, and historical reality. Understanding the foundations of Rome requires examining the myths surrounding its birth, its early expansion as a republic, and the eventual transformation into a dominant empire. These formative stages laid the groundwork for centuries of imperial dominance, establishing Rome as a cultural and political epicenter.
The story of Rome's foundation begins with the legendary tale of Romulus and Remus. According to Roman mythology, the twin brothers were abandoned by the river Tiber, only to be rescued and nurtured by a she-wolf. Eventually, Romulus would go on to establish the city on Palatine Hill in 753 BCE, becoming its first king after a violent dispute with Remus. Though historians debate the factual accuracy of this tale, it symbolizes Rome’s resilience and its origins rooted in struggle and survival. This myth, coupled with archaeological evidence from early settlements on the hills of Rome, provides insight into how Romans viewed their beginnings as both divine and destined for greatness.
Following its legendary foundation, Rome gradually transformed from a small settlement into a robust city-state. Initially, it was ruled by a series of kings who laid the foundations of Roman society, including political and religious institutions. However, the overthrow of the monarchy in 509 BCE marked the beginning of the Roman Republic, a period characterized by shared power between elected officials and a complex system of checks and balances. The Republic's political structure, with the Senate as a central governing body, reflected a commitment to preventing any single ruler from holding excessive power. This early model of governance would profoundly influence later empires and modern political systems.

Sasanian Empire - Ancient...

Kelly Mass

The Sasanian Empire, often referred to by historians as the Neo-Persian Empire, was the last significant Iranian empire before the Muslim invasions of the 7th and 8th centuries AD. Named after the House of Sasan, this empire lasted nearly four centuries, from 224 to 651 AD, making it the longest-lived Persian imperial dynasty. The Sasanian Empire emerged during late antiquity, succeeding the Parthian Empire and re-establishing Persian prominence in the region, rivaling the Roman Empire (later known as the Byzantine Empire after 395 AD).
Ardashir I, an Iranian prince, founded the Sasanian Empire following the decline of Parthia, which was weakened by internal strife and pressures from Rome. After defeating the last Parthian king, Artabanus IV, at the Battle of Hormozdgan in 224, Ardashir set out to restore the glory of the Achaemenid Empire by expanding Iran's territories. Under the Sasanian rule, the empire stretched from the eastern Mediterranean, including Anatolia and Egypt, to parts of modern-day Pakistan. It also extended across southern Arabia, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. According to mythology, the Derafsh Kaviani served as the vexilloid of the Sasanian Empire.
The Sasanian period was marked by significant advancements in culture, architecture, and religion. Zoroastrianism became the state religion, shaping the empire's identity and influencing its governance. The Sasanians promoted a rich cultural life, characterized by advancements in art, science, and philosophy. They established grand cities with impressive architecture, including palaces, fire temples, and public spaces that highlighted their achievements.

A Curious Curriculum - Teaching...

Mick Waters, Claire Banks

Written by Claire Banks and Mick Waters, A Curious Curriculum: Teaching foundation subjects well details the insightful and transformational steps that a school can take towards designing and delivering a rich, rigorous and wide-ranging curriculum.
Foreword by Mary Myatt.
Rather than being a model curriculum that can be uprooted and planted in any school, the book is a model schools can use to design their own curriculum, one that not only encourages children to be active participants in their own learning, but also to see the benefits of being part of a bigger, wider family of learners.
The authors concentrate on the foundation subjects, particularly history, geography and science but also design and technology (DT) and art and design areas that are often challenging for teachers in primary schools. Subjects are brought together and explored under "big ideas" and, crucially, the emphasis is on avoiding the superficial and trivial and rooting teaching in extending and challenging children.
In A Curious Curriculum, Claire Banks and Mick Waters share the story of one multi-academy trust (MAT) which designed and delivered a shared educational vision, a rationale for excellence in the curriculum, and the resources and support given to help reduce teachers' workload.
Claire and Mick present a clear model both for supporting a group of schools or leading one school, offering a fresh perspective on working on a MAT-wide curriculum, as well as providing a range of snapshot examples of the curriculum in action in the form of documents, plans, photos and the learners' own work. The book shares transferrable lessons from the trust's journey to success, setting out an educational philosophy that pairs pedagogy with a well-structured curriculum designed with learners' best interests at its heart.
All children deserve an engaging, exciting curriculum designed to spark their curiosity, feed their imagination and develop their skills and knowledge. With clear timelines and an honest and transparent dialogue about the challenges and benefits of working together collaboratively and the importance of external expertise, A Curious Curriculum is an essential read for all school leaders.
Suitable for executive leaders, head teachers, curriculum coordinators and subject leaders in primary school settings.
