Synopsis

In "The Moors in Spain," Stanley Lane-Poole delves into the historical and cultural impact of the Moorish presence in the Iberian Peninsula from the 8th to the 15th centuries. Employing a narrative style that blends meticulous research with vivid storytelling, Lane-Poole encapsulates the richness of Moorish contributions to Spanish architecture, art, science, and philosophy. The book is situated within the context of late 19th-century European historiography, which often romanticized the Islamic influence on Europe, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of a transformative period in Spanish history that has fueled scholarly debate ever since. Stanley Lane-Poole was a prominent British historian and archaeologist whose extensive travels in Spain and North Africa enriched his perspectives on Moorish civilization. His deep admiration for the Islamic art and culture, coupled with his thorough academic background, drove him to illuminate a facet of history that he felt was often overshadowed. Lane-Poole's expertise allowed him to weave an intricate narrative that not only informs but also engages the reader's imagination, showcasing the harmonious coexistence of diverse cultures and their legacies. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in medieval history, cultural studies, or the enduring influence of the Islamic world on Western civilization. Lane-Poole's scholarly yet accessible prose invites both academics and general readers to explore the profound legacy of the Moors in Spain, making it a crucial addition to the library of anyone seeking to understand the complexities of cultural identity and historical narrative.

    Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a severe accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, or rape or who have been threatened with death, sexual violence or severe injury.PTSD can occur in all people of any ethnicity, nationality, culture, and age. PTSD affects approximately 3.5 percent of U.S. adults every year. An estimated one in 11 people will be diagnosed with PTSD in their lifetime. Women are twice as likely as men to have PTSD. People with PTSD have intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings related to their experience that last long after the traumatic event. They may relive the event through flashbacks or nightmares; they may feel sadness, fear, or anger; and they may feel detached or estranged from other people. People with PTSD may avoid situations or people that remind them of the traumatic event, and they may have strong adverse reactions to something as ordinary as a loud noise or an accidental touch.People with a diagnosis of PTSD are defended and insecure about many things in life. It is essential to create a safe place where people can explore and share their experiences and understand why they are experiencing life as they do to begin the healing process in a therapeutic environment. This book may offer much to promote the healing and growth of those affected by complex trauma.

    Square Pegs - Inclusivity...

    Over the last few years, changes in education have made it increasingly hard for those children who don't 'fit' the system - the square pegs.
    Budget cuts, the loss of support staff, an overly academic curriculum, problems in the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system and difficulties accessing mental health support have all compounded pre-existing problems with behaviour and attendance. The 'attendance = attainment' and zero-tolerance narrative is often at odds with the way schools want to work with their communities, and many school leaders don't know which approach to take.
    This book will be invaluable in guiding leaders and teaching staff through the most effective ways to address this challenge. It covers a broad spectrum of opportunity, from proven psychological approaches to technological innovations. It tests the boundaries of the current system in terms of curriculum, pedagogy and statutory Department for Education guidance. And it also presents a clear, legalese-free view of education, SEND and human rights law, where leaders have been given responsibility for its implementation but may not always fully understand the legal ramifications of their decisions or may be pressured into unlawful behaviour.
    Suitable for all professionals working in education and the related issues surrounding children and young people's mental health, as well as policymakers, academics and government ministers.
