Beschreibung

In "The Huguenots in France," Samuel Smiles meticulously chronicles the plight and perseverance of the Huguenots, French Protestants who faced persecution and exile during the 16th and 17th centuries. Through a historical lens, Smiles employs a narrative style that intertwines meticulous research with vivid storytelling, offering readers a rich tapestry of personal accounts and key events. His exploration delves into the cultural and social impact of the Huguenots on French society, emphasizing the resilience and contributions of these communities in the face of adversity, thus situating the work within the broader narrative of religious conflict and freedom in early modern Europe. Samuel Smiles, a prominent Scottish author and reformer, is renowned for his works advocating self-help and moral fortitude. His background in engineering and his passion for social reform influenced his focus on the narratives of individual agency and collective struggle. "The Huguenots in France" reflects Smiles' dedication to elevating stories of perseverance, aligning with his broader philosophy that emphasizes the importance of character and determination in overcoming societal challenges. This book is an essential read for anyone intrigued by the interplay of faith, history, and resilience. Smiles' blend of thorough scholarship and compelling narrative invites readers to understand and appreciate the Huguenots' significant but often overlooked legacy. Readers will find not only an engaging history but also inspiration in the struggles of those who refused to yield to oppression.

    In Nourishing Caregiver Collaborations, Nawal Qarooni invites us to step beyond school-centric, one-off events and practices to create more authentic, engaging collaborations with caregivers. Instead of asking what families can do to support schools, Qarooni asks how schools can identify and celebrate what families already bring to their children's literacy learning. Establishing this work in holistic teaching, Qarooni explores five critical literacy tenets by highlighting opportunities to listen for, honor, connect to, and elevate family strengths while inviting them further into our shared work and encouraging reflection around: 
     
     
     
    ● Recognizing the journey of process 
     
     
     
    ● Celebrating the role collaboration plays within the collective 
     
     
     
    ● Using observational literacy to read the world 
     
     
     
    ● Advocating for the power of talk to grow ideas and connect 
     
     
     
    ● Giving children choice to make self-directed decisions 
     
     
     
    With moments of memoir woven in alongside diverse family examples and classroom stories, Qarooni shows how families contribute meaningfully to their children's literacy lives. Discover how we can tap into those vast wells to support learning at home and in school.

    The remarkable wartime diary of nurse Kathleen Johnstone 
    ‘Warm, chatty and endlessly absorbing, this delightful diary brims with intelligence and humour.’ Wendy Moore, author of Endell Street: The Women Who Ran Britain’s Trailblazing Military Hospital 
    The second world war could not have been won without the bravery and selflessness of women on the Home Front. Women like Kathleen Johnstone. 
    This first-hand story of one extraordinary but unheralded member of Britain’s ‘Greatest Generation’ brings home with extraordinary lucidity and compassion the realities of wartime Lancashire. 
    In 1943, Kathleen, then thirty, was a nurse-in-training at the Blackburn Royal Infirmary. For the next three years she kept a meticulous diary of her day-to-day existence, leaving behind a vivid record of the real-time concerns of a busy, thoughtful woman on the frontline of the war at home. 
    Kathleen’s days were never the same. She writes in clear and lively prose about life in the hospital: of her fellow nurses, her patients, about death and dying, and the progress of the war as wounded soldiers returned from Normandy in the summer of 1944. She muses on being working class, wartime austerity, and her anxiety about examinations. Here too are dances, Americans and a POW boyfriend in Germany. Kathleen’s observations are witty, wry and astute – but above all relatable, even today. 
    Poignant and engrossing, Kathleen Johnstone’s tale of trauma, romance and friendship will leave a lasting impression. 
    Kathleen Johnstone's personal memoirs provide a unique perspective on the social history of 20th century Europe. As a top nurse during the war, her experiences with patients and her insights into the medical challenges of the time make this autobiography a must-read. 
    For fans of Grace Dent (Comfort Eating), and Mary Morris (A Very Private Diary).
