The Analysis of Mind

Bertrand Russell

"The Analysis of Mind" by Bertrand Russell is a philosophical book that explores the nature of the mind and consciousness. In this work, Russell argues that mental phenomena can be analyzed and understood through the principles of logic and mathematics. He posits that the mind can be divided into two categories: the "conscious mind" and the "unconscious mind". The conscious mind is the part of the mind that we are aware of, while the unconscious mind is the part that we are not aware of but which still influences our behavior. Read in English, unabridged.

The Sociology of Fear -...

Fred Grandsen

Fear is a fundamental aspect of human experience, shaping behaviors, relationships, and societal structures. While fear is often viewed as an individual, psychological response to threats, its impact extends far beyond personal emotions. It plays a crucial role in shaping communities, influencing institutions, and guiding social interactions. Understanding fear from a sociological perspective allows us to see how it is constructed, manipulated, and experienced collectively. 
At its core, fear serves an essential function in human survival. It triggers physiological and psychological responses designed to protect individuals from harm. However, in a social context, fear is not merely a reaction to immediate danger but a product of cultural norms, historical experiences, and institutional influences. What one society deems fearful may not be considered threatening in another, highlighting the socially constructed nature of fear. Media, governments, and social groups often define what is to be feared and how people should respond, reinforcing shared anxieties and collective behavioral patterns. 
Fear also plays a significant role in maintaining social order. Authorities, institutions, and cultural narratives often use fear to promote conformity and discourage deviance. For instance, fear of punishment deters individuals from committing crimes, while fear of social rejection enforces adherence to cultural norms. In political and economic spheres, fear can be leveraged as a tool of control, influencing public opinion, voter behavior, and economic decisions. Political leaders may use fear of terrorism, crime, or economic collapse to justify policies that enhance their power, while corporations may capitalize on fears of illness or inadequacy to market their products.

Stokely Carmichael: The Life and...

Editors Charles River

“Our grandfathers had to run, run, run. My generation's out of breath. We ain't running no more.” – Stokely Carmichael 
In the late 1960s, Stokely Carmichael would become one of the most influential and controversial figures in America, founding and leading new organizations while being meticulously shadowed by the country’s national security apparatus, particularly J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI. The attention would ultimately compel him to move to Africa, where he changed his name to Kwame Ture and became one of the world’s most famous Pan-African leaders until his death in Guinea in 1998.  
Since then, he has remained a subject of both praise and criticism, from contemporaries and historians alike. SNCC Chairman Phil Hutchings, despite being the one who pushed Carmichael out of the organization, aptly summed up the dichotomy: "Even though we kidded and called him 'Starmichael', he could sublimate his ego to get done what was needed to be done....He would say what he thought, and you could disagree with it but you wouldn't cease being a human being and someone with whom he wanted to be in relationship."

How to Move & Learn - An...

Bryn Llewellyn, Ian Holmes,...

Foreword by Dr Andy Daly-Smith.
We already know that increased physical activity and a reduction in the sedentary time spent sitting at desks have wide-ranging benefits (including to brain function), so what if there were also evidence that using movement in the learning process improves outcomes for children? What if we could then map out ways to support teachers in adapting their practice to make this a reality?
In How to Move & Learn Bryn Llewellyn, Ian Holmes and Richard Allman do just that - sharing the latest research from around the world and providing teachers with the means and motivation to identify opportunities to integrate movement purposefully into the teaching and learning process.
The links between health and education are paramount, and this book explores these connections and presents a wealth of ideas, activities and resources to help teachers unlock the potential of the school and outdoor environments for learning across all curriculum subjects.
Suitable for all primary school teachers and leaders.
