Sinopsis

"Learning Difference Models" explores how to shift from deficit-based views of neurodiversity to recognizing the unique strengths of individuals with learning differences like dyslexia and ADHD. The book challenges traditional approaches by advocating for cognitive diversity frameworks in education and the workplace. It argues that embracing different cognitive profiles is not only socially just but also strategically advantageous for fostering innovation and problem-solving. For example, individuals with dyslexia often exhibit exceptional spatial reasoning skills, while those with ADHD may demonstrate heightened creativity and hyperfocus under the right conditions.

The book begins by defining key concepts such as cognitive diversity and common learning differences, then progresses to analyzing existing cognitive diversity frameworks. These frameworks offer practical strategies for creating more inclusive environments, tailored to both educational and professional contexts. Case studies and actionable recommendations are provided for educators, employers, and policymakers, with a focus on moving beyond simple accommodations to proactively valuing diverse cognitive styles.

Ultimately, "Learning Difference Models" provides an integrated model designed to maximize the potential of individuals with learning differences. By drawing on research from psychology, education, and human resources, the book offers a holistic perspective and actionable strategies for creating equitable and thriving environments where everyone can succeed. This strengths-based approach promotes a positive narrative around neurodiversity, empowering individuals and transforming systems.

Dirty Linen - The Troubles In My...

Martin Doyle

Martin Doyle, Books Editor of The Irish Times, offers a personal, intimate history of the Troubles seen through the microcosm of a single rural parish, his own, part of both the Linen Triangle – heartland of the North’s defining industry – and the Murder Triangle – the Badlands roamed by the Glenanne gang of security forces colluding with loyalist paramilarites. He lifts the veil of silence drawn over the horrors of the past, recording in heartrending detail the terrible toll the conflict took – more than 20 violent deaths in a few square miles – and the long tail of trauma it has left behind. He also conveys the texture of the times, the high streets where cars could not be left unattended, the newsflashes, the constant background buzz of threat and fear. 
Neighbours and classmates who lost loved ones in the conflict, survivors maimed in bomb attacks and victims of sectarianism, both Catholic and Protestant, entrust him with their stories. Doyle marries his local knowledge with a literary sensibility and skilfully shows how the once dominant local linen industry serves as a metaphor for both communal division but also the solidarity that transcended the sectarian divide. 
To those who might ask why you would want to reopen old wounds, the answer might be that some wounds have never been allowed to heal. It is by sharing our stories that we build a ridge of common ground from which good things can grow.

It's What You Do Next - The Fall...

Megan Barry

In 2015, after a historic run-off election, Megan Barry became the first female mayor of Nashville, Tennessee. Quickly becoming one of the most popular progressive politicians in the Bible Belt, Barry was a beloved leader with a sky-high approval rating and an unshakable hope for a new, forward-thinking, modern South. For her first few years in office, she was one of the most important voices at the table—until she became the most notorious. 
 
 
 
Barry loved three things the most in the world—her son, Max, her husband, Bruce, and her job as the mayor of Nashville . . . until she lost two of them. Her monumental lapse in judgment led to a painful public reckoning and the fall of her rising political career. A battle with substance-use disorder robbed her of her only child. Grief, pride, shame, longing, and resentment nearly destroyed her marriage. Barry has to start again, the right way, with humility, hope, and a wicked sense of humor. 
 
 
 
It's What You Do Next is a deeply honest book about womanhood at home, in politics, and in the spaces between.  Warm, funny, and uncompromisingly honest, Barry speaks to women as their close friend, not their fearless leader, her true self, not always her best self. She gives listeners permission to come as they are and leave knowing that what matters most, is what happens next.

Hicky's Bengal Gazette - The...

Andrew Otis

Hicky's Bengal Gazette is the story of India's first newspaper and its pivotal role in exposing the corruption of the British imperialist project.The story opens in late-eighteenth century Calcutta. The British are well-ensconced in Bengal but the Raj has yet to emerge. Irishman, James August Hicky, arrives in Calcutta as a surgeon's mate, seeking his fame and fortune. He soon finds himself in debtors' prison, however, and it's while in jail that he first acquires the printing press that sets him on a collision course with the British East India Company. 
 
Sensing a business opportunity, Hicky established the first newspaper in South Asia but quickly became committed to the freedom of the press at great personal cost. His Gazette exposed corruption in the East India Company and embezzlement in the Christian Church, making himself two powerful enemies in the process: Johann Zacharias Kiernander, an influential missionary and Warren Hastings, the Governor General. Staunchly anti-war and anti-colonialist, Hicky's Bengal Gazette was known for its provocative content. Trials, prison time, and assassination attempts follow before Hicky dies mysteriously on a boat to China. His legacy in India endures to this day through the vibrant, modern media landscape.
