  The first book to celebrate the miniature-scale model The Panorama of the City of New York.
  An awe-inspiring metropolis in miniature, The Panorama of the City of New York has achieved cult-like status with New Yorkers and serves as a locus of memory for visitors from around the globe. This is the first book to fully celebrate The Panorama, featuring accessible text and photographs of its conception, creation, and enjoyment.
  The Panorama was one of the most successful attractions at the 1964–65 World's Fair, with millions enjoying what was billed as an indoor helicopter tour of New York. Comprising an area of 9,335 square feet and built to a scale of 1:1200 (where one inch equals 100 feet), the original 1964 mini city was updated multiple times before its last renovation in 1992. Within the 320 square miles of New York City represented on The Panorama, you can find 850,000 buildings, more than 100 bridges, and almost all of the city's parks and streets.
  Now part of the permanent exhibition at the Queens Museum, the Panorama brings the magic of New York to life to thousands of visitors each year.

  If anything can bind together nearly 400 pupils and 100 school staff in challenging circumstances, it's love. And love is in plentiful supply at Parklands.The pupils at Parklands Primary School, located on the Seacroft estate in Leeds, often face significant hardship. Children start at the school significantly behind their peers nationally, especially in terms of their language and literacy. Yet the school is famed for outstanding learning --both in terms of Ofsted judgement and, more importantly, in achieving amazing outcomes for its learners.In this inspiring book, head teacher Chris Dyson shares the story of how he has steered the school towards the seemingly impossible educational dream of high achievement, personalised support and complete inclusion. He explains how the school setting can be a place where there is love but also hope and relentless ambition for children, and reflects on the steps that he and his staff have put in place to make this a reality for Parklands' pupils. Chris delves into how this culture and climate of love drives behaviour and decision-making throughout the school - and, as a result, how this creates a safe, loving environment in which all of its learners can thrive. Chris also provides insights into how the leadership team goes about raising funds for the school, and how they choose to spend it on both curricular and extracurricular projects. And, furthermore, how the school broadens its pupils' experiences and cultural capital by means of residential trips, in-school productions, and sports and arts provision.An uplifting read for all teachers and school leaders.

  The Flying Boy is a record of one man’s journey to find his “true masculinity” and his way out of co-dependent and addictive relationships. It’s for all men and women who grew up in dysfunctional families and are now ready for some fresh insights into their past and their pain.
   
  This audio is also about grieving, a very misunderstood process often confused with self-pity. The Flying Boy opens doors to understanding — men will understand themselves and each other, and women will more deeply understand men, learn how to be with wounded men and still take care of themselves.
   
  This book combines John's experience, strength and hope with awareness gained from years of working with men's groups and Adult Children. It offers a unique and fresh insight into co-dependency, fears of intimacy, abandonment and commitment and how to overcome them.
   
  John Lee has taught Religious Studies at Austin Community College and Literature, Humanities and American Studies at The University of Texas and the University of Alabama. With a private counseling practice specializing in masculine psychology and men’s issues, co-dependency and adult children of alcoholics, he also is the director of the Austin Men’s Center.
