  What if education could heal the planet, restore equity, and reimagine what it means to be human? 
  In Educating for a Sustainable Future, Brian Gibson invites readers to embark on a bold intellectual and moral journey—one that redefines learning in the age of climate crisis, social inequality, and economic uncertainty. With clarity, compassion, and vision, Gibson challenges the limitations of capitalist models that have shaped our schools, societies, and sense of purpose. 
  Drawing on critical pedagogy, ecological philosophy, and contemporary ethics, this book examines how education can become a transformative force, cultivating empathy, creativity, and sustainability in every learner. It proposes a radical rethinking of how we teach, what we value, and why we learn. 
  Through thought-provoking analysis and inspiring real-world examples, Gibson shows that true education is not about competing for success, but about co-creating a just, sustainable, and flourishing world. 
  Inside you’ll discover: 
  •	How current education systems perpetuate inequality and ecological harm 
  •	What a post-capitalist framework for learning might look like 
  •	Ways to cultivate ethical, democratic, and environmentally conscious classrooms 
  •	Strategies for aligning education with the values of justice, care, and sustainability 
  Educating for a Sustainable Future is a powerful call to educators, policymakers, and global citizens who believe that a better world begins in the classroom—and that learning itself must evolve if humanity is to thrive.

  Philippine-American War The: The...

  On April 27, 1898 six American ships of the line, led by the Olympia with Commodore George Dewey aboard, headed toward Manila Bay. After several days of sailing over the South China Sea, Dewey hoped to sail past the Spanish fort at Corregidor to arrive at Manila without detection, and sailed without lights in order to do so. He made it into the bay, where the naval battle with the Spanish South Pacific Squadron began in the wee hours of May 1, 1898. Dewey was a student of the Mahanian school of naval strategy, so called for the aggressive Alfred T. Mahan, a top naval strategist and President of the Naval War College. As such, he concentrated his efforts on the offensive, preferring to meet the Spanish fleet on his own terms and to avoid, if it all possible fire from land-based batteries that lined Manila Bay. He refused to engage the batteries on land, sailing straight past the firing batteries and toward the Spanish fleet. Dewey issued his most famous command just before 6:00 that morning, “You may fire when ready, Gridley!”  
  The leader of an 1896 insurgency against the Spanish, Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy, had left the Philippines in an agreement following Spanish promises of reform that never materialized. As a recognized Filipino leader, he was brought to Manila by an American ship within days of the American victory at Manila, but the events that followed were to prove controversial and lead to U.S. control of the Philippines, along with a revolution of the Filipino people that would prove to be far longer and more costly than the Spanish-American war itself. The Philippines had no meaningful connection to Cuba except as a Spanish colony, and Spanish forces in the islands were no threat to the U.S. Pacific coast, but the island chain appeared to offer a convenient location for a naval base in an age when warships were coal-powered and needed coaling bases.

  "Now after fifty years, it's time for Canada to stand up and cheer. Stand up and cheer everybody! The Olympics Salt Lake City, 2002, men's ice hockey gold medal: Canada!" —Bob Cole, CBC play-by-play broadcaster 
   
   
   
  There was no iconic Paul Henderson moment, nor a Sidney Crosby golden goal, but Canada's 5-2 victory against the rival United States in the men's 2002 Olympic gold medal game wiped out fifty years of frustration for the nation that invented ice hockey. 
   
   
   
  Canadians from coast to coast were whipped into a frenzy, with impromptu celebrations on streets like Granville in Vancouver, Yonge in Toronto, Ste-Catherine in Montreal, and Portage and Main in Winnipeg. 
   
   
   
  Gold is the definitive chronicle of how the men of Team Canada made history. Marking twenty years since the momentous victory, Tim Wharnsby delivers the inside story of how Gretzky built the team and Pat Quinn got them to the gold medal, featuring exclusive interviews with players, coaches, and personnel.
