  Here’s why getting your CompTIA A+ alone won’t get you a job in IT. 
  If you want to figure out how you can use this knowledge to your advantage — before spending all your time and money preparing for the exam — then start by asking yourself this. 
  If you were hiring for someone to join your IT department, do you know what you’d look for in a candidate? 
  Would you give someone a job simply based on whether they had just one certificate? 
  Wouldn’t you want to see if they could actually handle the job you’re hiring them for before making an offer? 
  Despite what you may have heard about switching careers into IT… getting your A+ will only get you so far. 
  In fact, it might not get you anywhere — at least, not anywhere close to the kind of job offer you want. 
  There are over 1 million IT professionals with A+ certifications, according to CompTIA. 
  Which means if you want to stand out from all the other candidates you’re competing with… and make it hard for employers to say “no” to you… then passing your A+ exam isn’t going to be enough. 
  So instead of helping recruiters fill their quotas… and stressing out over not having found a job months after the exam… you can turn your A+ certification into a bargaining chip that helps you fast-track your transition into IT.  
  And that’s what makes this book different from all the other A+ study guides out there. On top of showing you how to ace the exam with ease, it also offers tips on what to do after you’ve earned your certification. 
  Even if you have no prior IT experience, there are still plenty of ways getting CompTIA A+ certified can help you launch a long-term career — and one that actually pays off. 
  So if you’re done working dead-end jobs… and want to make sure you get the most out of your A+ certification…then this is your book.

  "College" is a word that means many things to many people: a space for knowledge, a place to gain lifelong friends, and an opportunity to transcend one's socioeconomic station. Today, though, this word also recalls a slew of headlines that have revealed a dark and persistent world of racial politics on campus.From Lawrence Ross, author of The Divine Nine, Blackballed is an explosive and controversial book that rips the veil off America's hidden secret: America's colleges have fostered a racist environment that makes them a hostile space for African American students. Blackballed exposes the white fraternity and sorority system, with traditions of racist parties, songs, and assaults on black students; and the universities themselves, who name campus buildings after racist men and women. It also takes a deep dive into anti-affirmative action policies, and how they effectively segregate predominately white universities, providing ample room for white privilege. A bold mix of history and the current climate, Blackballed is a call to action for universities to make radical changes to their policies and standards to foster a better legacy for all students.

  The Global War on Tobacco -...

  “A major contribution not just to tobacco control research but also to research on global governance and public health . . . thorough [and] compelling.” —Frank J. Chaloupka IV, Institute for Health Research and Policy, University of Illinois–Chicago 
   
  As the era of globalization progressed, the tobacco industry capitalized on its elements—including trade liberalization, foreign direct investment, and global communications—to expand into countries where effective tobacco control programs were not in place. As a consequence, tobacco became the leading cause of preventable death in the world, killing more people each year than HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. 
   
  In the mid-1990s, a committed group of public health professionals and institutions sought to challenge the tobacco industry’s expansion by negotiating a binding international law under the auspices of the World Health Organization. The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC)—the first collective global response to the causation of avoidable chronic disease—was one of the most quickly ratified treaties in United Nations history. In The Global War on Tobacco, Heather Wipfli tells the engaging story of the FCTC, from its start as an unlikely civil society proposal to its enactment in 178 countries as of June 2014. Wipfli also reveals how globalization offers anti-tobacco advocates significant cooperative opportunities to share knowledge and address cross-border public health problems. 
   
  The book—the first to delve deeply into the origin and development of the FCTC—seeks to advance understanding of how non-state actors, transnational networks, and international institutionalization can impact global governance for health. Case studies from a variety of diverse high-, middle-, and low-income countries provide real-world examples of the success or failure of tobacco control. Written with public health professionals and students in mind, The Global War on Tobacco is a fascinating look at how international relations is changing to respond to the modern global marketplace and protect human health.

  Powerful Geography - A...

  Mark Enser

  In recent years the emphasis has shifted away from a focus on pedagogy (the
  how of teaching) and towards curriculum (the what of teaching). Ofsted's revised inspection framework reflects this shift, and their plans to -deep dive- into subject areas - meaning that teachers and department heads now need a much greater understanding of curricular structures - leave many educators having to think about their subject in new ways.
  
  Luckily for geography teachers, however, bestselling author Mark Enser provides plenty of insightful, subject-specific guidance in this all-encompassing book.
  
  Mark explores both the purpose of the geography curriculum and its various applications in practice. He details how teachers can take their students' learning beyond the acquisition of knowledge to transform how they see the world. He also tackles the changing nature of school geography, shares a variety of case studies, and offers his take on how best to facilitate geographical enquiry and fieldwork.
  
  The first part of the book considers the issue of purpose by looking at the role of the school in society and then shows the place that geography occupies within it. It also considers the history of the subject so as to help geography teachers better understand where they stand today, and concludes by discussing how the concepts of powerful knowledge and GeoCapabilities can help them find their way again.
  
  The second part is a practical guide which illustrates how to put this theory of curriculum purpose into practice. It explores the steps which must be taken to create a powerful geography curriculum by deciding on content and places to be studied, putting the components into a sequence and then using all this to do geography. It will also discuss the extent to which teachers need to consider the future and respond to the concerns of the wider world when planning the curriculum.
  
  Suitable for department heads and classroom teachers of geography in secondary schools and subject leads in primary schools.
  
  Powerful Geography was Highly Commended in the Geographical Association Awards 2022.
