  This bundle invites readers to walk the marble-paved streets of Rome at its height. The first section, Imperial Rome, explores the structured yet lavish lives of Roman elites, administrators, and common citizens. It reveals how the empire maintained order across vast territories using laws, infrastructure, and an intricate bureaucracy—while projecting power through majestic architecture and imperial ceremonies. From the palaces of emperors to the hum of city forums, this part paints a vivid picture of Rome's beating heart. 
  The second section, Gladiators and Games, dives into the thrilling (and often brutal) world of Roman entertainment. Learn about the engineering marvels of the Colosseum, the blood-soaked spectacles that kept the masses distracted, and the lives of gladiators who fought for fame and freedom. This part also covers chariot racing, theatrical performances, and the philosophy behind “bread and circuses”—how entertainment functioned as both cultural glue and political strategy. 
  In the final section, The Pax Romana, readers will discover the period of unprecedented peace and prosperity that allowed art, trade, and daily life to flourish. This chapter explores how stability encouraged innovation and helped Rome become a melting pot of cultures, ideas, and wealth. Imperial Life is a journey into the grandeur, governance, and gatherings that made Rome more than a military powerhouse—it was also a cultural empire that continues to fascinate the modern world.

  Leading Maths - The essential...

  Leading maths at any school is a unique challenge and comes with pressures not experienced in many other subject areas. The relatively abstract nature of the subject content, combined with the contrasting societal and parental attitudes to mathematics, can complicate communication and stifle progress. Most pupils and parents will recognise the importance of maths but many feel it's perfectly acceptable to be "no good" at it. Leading maths in schools is about managing these contradictions and getting the very best out of every teacher and pupil.
  Offering a fresh perspective and practical strategies for maths teachers and leaders at any level, Leading Mathsexplores how to make the most of a maths leadership role and manage the daily pressures and demands that come with it. Backed up by specific examples from fifteen years of experience leading maths, Peter Mattock goes on to examine the more long-term, strategic view of maths leadership, including how leaders can work with their teams to develop high quality mathematics teaching and learning for all pupils.
  The book covers day-to-day issues that arise when leading maths, in particular results and accountability, as well as difficult situations more generally. It offers useful takeaways at the end of each chapter, with a summary of key points and advice from the chapter. Leading Maths explores how to manage an inspection, developing improvement plans and the appraisal process, before touching on taking maths leadership beyond one specific school and into system leadership.
  In addition to Peter's insight, Leading Maths also contains contributions from other experienced maths practitioners, including Becky Lawrence, Jemma Sherwood, Rhiannon Rainbow and Dave Tushingham. Becky examines some of the specific approaches to leading primary maths, whilst Jemma does the same from her perspective as a maths lead across a large multi-academy trust. Rhiannon and Dave then go on to discuss how to manage significant change from their experience of adapting curriculum and CPD during the COVID pandemic - including the beginnings of their (now famous) book club.
  An essential guide for current, new, or aspiring maths leaders.

  Apocalypse Television - How The...

  On November 20, 1983, a three-hour made-for-TV movie, The Day After, premiered on ABC. Set in the heartland of Lawrence, Kansas, the film depicted the events before, during, and after a Soviet nuclear attack with vivid scenes of the post-apocalyptic hellscape that would follow. The film was viewed by over 100 million Americans and remains the highest rated TV movie in history. 
   
   
   
  The path to primetime for The Day After proved nearly as treacherous as the film's narrative. Battles ensued behind the scenes at the network, between the network and the filmmakers. But these skirmishes pale in comparison to the culture wars triggered by the film in the press, alongside a growing Nuclear Freeze movement, and from a united, pro-nuclear Right. Once efforts to alter the script failed, the White House conducted a full-throttled propaganda campaign to hijack the film's message. 
   
   
   
  Apocalypse Television features a dramatic insider's account of the making of and backlash against The Day After. No other book has told this story in similar fashion, venturing behind-the-scenes of the programming and news divisions at ABC, the backlash from the conservative movement and Religious Right, the challenges encountered by the film's production team, and the experiences of the citizens of Lawrence, Kansas, where the film was set and shot.
