Sinopse

Cold War Arctic explores the transformation of the Arctic into a strategic battleground between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. This military history delves into the intense militarization, silent submarine warfare, and the impact of nuclear testing on this remote region. Imagine the Arctic, typically known for its serene beauty, becoming a theater for potential global conflict. The book details the construction of early warning systems and air bases, reflecting the superpowers' race for dominance. The book examines the environmental and geopolitical consequences of these actions, including the long-term effects of nuclear contamination. One intriguing fact is the clandestine submarine routes carved out beneath the polar ice cap, illustrating the silent and deadly games played out.

 
Cold War Arctic begins by establishing the geographical and environmental context, then progresses through the establishment of military infrastructure, naval operations, and ultimately, the environmental and social impacts. The book's unique approach lies in its holistic view, combining historical analysis with environmental and social perspectives, going beyond a purely military focus. By presenting declassified documents and firsthand accounts, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of how the Cold War forever changed the Arctic. This exploration is crucial for understanding the region's contemporary geopolitics and environmental challenges.

    Born in Japan of a French father and White Russian mother, Alex Faure greeted news of war in the Pacific with schoolboy enthusiasm. That is until the hardships of being a gaijin and neutral foreigner in Japan during World War II became a stark reality for the Faure family. 
    Award winning author and screenwriter, Peter Yeldham masterfully tells Alex Faure’s own true story against the backdrop of real events in wartime Japan. Laced with excerpts from Alex’s diary, Dragons in the Forest is a riveting tale of life as a foreigner in a strange land at a very dangerous time. 
    ALEX'S DIARY - December 7th, 1941 
    Today the war began! I’ve just heard the news on the radio. I was trying to finish my homework in English, and at the same time listen to a talk to improve 
    my Japanese. I often use the radio for this purpose. The Marianist Brothers at St Joseph’s teach us in English and French, but speaking Japanese at school is 
    forbidden. Which is a pretty stupid rule, since this is where I was born and where my family lives, and on leaving school I want to get a job here …

    Zachary Taylor (November 24, 1784 – July 9, 1850) was an American military officer and politician who was the 12th president of the United States, serving from 1849 until his death in 1850. Taylor was a career officer in the United States Army, rising to the rank of major general and becoming a national hero for his victories in the Mexican–American War. As a result, he won election to the White House despite his vague political beliefs. His top priority as president was to preserve the Union. He died 16 months into his term from a stomach disease. Taylor had the third-shortest presidential term in U.S. history. The following is a reading of President Taylor's inaugural address delivered on March 05, 1849.

    Kids today can learn more from a five-minute YouTube video or AI chatbot than they can from a full day of lectures. So what then is our role as classroom teachers? 
     
    In this groundbreaking book, seasoned educator Kyle Wagner explains the new role of the teacher in the fourth industrial revolution. You will learn how to shift from being a deliverer of content, to a thoughtful designer and facilitator of student-centered learning experiences who gently guides from behind the scenes. Kyle, a veteran co-learning experience designer, former classroom teacher, and school leader, unpacks each of the twelve shifts required to build these student-centered environments. Chapters cover how to shift from a content-based to inquiry-based approach; develop relevant, interdisciplinary skills; cultivate meaningful student reflection; curate beautiful, real-world work; facilitate student-led discussion; and more. 
     
    Through stories from real student-centered classrooms around each shift, and anecdotes from the author's experience teaching and leading micro-academies, you will come away ready to unleash student creativity, build thoughtful inquirers, and develop self-directed learners within your own context.

    This is volume 4 chapter 18 of a series of books written by the Baron Macaulay (1800-1859) in the 19th century. It starts with a brief resume of the history of England up until the Stuart kings and then starts to delve into a little more detail. Macaulay is primarily fascinated by ending of any claim to divine right of kings and the growing role of Parliament in the governing of the country. He sees the accession of William and Mary (Dutch, Protestant royalty) to the British throne as a key moment in the history of the British Isles. This is a book delightful for the literary gifts of the author and intriguing for his view of 18th century English and world politics.(Jim Mowatt)
