  Life is often compared to a game—and in The Student Loaners: Are You A Winner or a Loser?, Charles A. Chadwick Jr. proves it. Drawing powerful parallels between basketball and college, Charles uses his passion for the game to coach students through one of life’s biggest financial challenges: student loan debt. 
  From the first quarter of freshman year to the final buzzer of repayment, Charles equips listeners with the tools they need to manage, reduce, and ultimately conquer their debt. This audiobook breaks down key strategies for playing offense (aggressive repayment) and defense (smart saving), helping you stay ahead of the game and take control of your financial future. 
  You’ll meet the “Student Loaners”—a team made up of every student who ever signed on the dotted line—and discover how to play smarter, not harder, when it comes to college finances. Whether you’re still in school or years into repayment, this is your playbook to turn student loan struggles into slam-dunk successes.

  What kind of teacher are you? What values, beliefs and principles do successful teachers have and how do they sustain these in the face of challenging pupil behaviour?
  In this timely book, Stephen Baker contends that rigid punishment systems weaponize young people's defiance against them and that punishment doesn't work. He believes that teachers need to take responsibility for behaviour and to lead it, not just 'manage' it, that we need to love the kids (even if we don't like them), that children are people, thatweare an event intheirlives, and that teaching is a relationship-based activity.
  With each chapter followed by engaging 'takeaway tasks',That Behaviour Bookwill allow teachers to rapidly improve both their practice and their relationships with pupils and classes. The book looks at the values that will sustain you as a teacher, how routines will help you teach better and what 'positive expectations' really mean, making child-centred relational practice easy to apply in the classroom. Teachers will have a more realistic appreciation of their own situation and of the context in which they teach. In short, this book will help teachers learn how to get the very best out of their pupils.
  That Behaviour Bookis an essential guide for both the beginner and the more experienced teacher. Its unique tone makes it an indispensable companion for the busy teacher, providing a sense of connection, challenge and reassurance all at once. Stephen Baker's anecdotes, drawn from his years as a pupil, teacher and trainer pack an emotional punch and are often hilarious.
  Suitable for all teachers.

  The Constitutional Bind - How...

  An eye-opening account of how Americans came to revere the Constitution and what this reverence has meant domestically and around the world. 
  Some Americans today worry that the Federal Constitution is ill-equipped to respond to mounting democratic threats and may even exacerbate the worst features of American politics. Yet for as long as anyone can remember, the Constitution has occupied a quasi-mythical status in American political culture, which ties ideals of liberty and equality to assumptions about the inherent goodness of the text’s design. The Constitutional Bind explores how a flawed document came to be so glorified and how this has impacted American life. 
  In a pathbreaking retelling of the American experience, Aziz Rana shows that today’s reverential constitutional culture is a distinctively twentieth-century phenomenon. Rana connects this widespread idolization to another relatively recent development: the rise of US global dominance. Ultimately, such veneration has had far-reaching consequences: despite offering a unifying language of reform, it has also unleashed an interventionist national security state abroad while undermining the possibility of deeper change at home. 
  Revealing how the current constitutional order was forged over the twentieth century, The Constitutional Bind also sheds light on an array of movement activists—in Black, Indigenous, feminist, labor, and immigrant politics—who struggled to imagine different constitutional horizons. As time passed, these voices of opposition were excised from memory. Today, they offer essential insights.
