Sinopsis

In "Science & Education," Thomas Henry Huxley passionately advocates for the integration of scientific inquiry into educational practices, emphasizing the importance of a curriculum grounded in empirical evidence and critical thinking. Written with clarity and precision, Huxley navigates the dichotomy between scientific knowledge and traditional education, advocating for a model that embraces a progressive approach to learning. His work emerges from the context of the late 19th century—a time when the scientific method began to influence broader intellectual discourse, and Huxley's rhetoric eloquently reflects the tension between religious dogma and emerging empiricism. Huxley, often called "Darwin's Bulldog" for his vigorous defense of Darwinian evolution, was a prominent biologist and educator whose work shaped the foundations of modern science education. His own struggle with Victorian educational norms and his commitment to instilling scientific literacy in society, especially for the young, underscored his motivations for writing this seminal text. His broad understanding of biology, coupled with his belief in rational thought and skepticism, informs every page of this work. "Science & Education" is essential reading for educators, scientists, and anyone invested in the cultivation of a scientifically literate society. Huxley's insights remain strikingly relevant as they encourage readers to reconsider the role of education in fostering critical thinking and understanding of the natural world. This book not only reflects Huxley's vision but also challenges us to prioritize scientific education in an era where misinformation can proliferate.

What are the lives of America's richest families really like? Their nannies see it all . . . 
 
 
 
When Stephanie Kiser moves to New York City after college to pursue a career in writing, she quickly learns that her entry-level salary won't cover the cost of living. But there is one in-demand job that pays enough to allow Stephanie to stay in the city: nannying for the 1%. Desperate to escape the poverty of her own childhood, Stephanie falls into a job that hijacks her life for the next seven years: a glorified personal assistant to toddlers on Manhattan's Upper East Side. 
 
 
 
At first, nannying seems like the perfect solution—the high pay covers Stephanie's bills, and she's surprised by how attached she becomes to the kids she cares for, even as she gasps over Prada baby onesies and preschools that cost more than her college tuition. But the grueling twelve-hour days leave her little time to see her friends, date, or pursue any creative projects that might lead to a more prestigious career. The allure of the seemingly-glamorous job begins to dull as Stephanie comes to understand more about what really happens behind the closed doors of million-dollar Park Avenue apartments—and that money doesn't guarantee happiness. Soon she will have to decide whether to stay with the children she's grown to love, or if there's something better out there.

[How to Recognize Toxic Friendships] delves into the intricate dance of human connection, where the lines between support and suffocation blur in the most subtle ways. With unflinching precision and raw emotional honesty, this exploration peels back the layers of seemingly normal friendships to reveal the quiet erosion that occurs when toxicity masquerades as care. Through a masterful examination of the invisible threads that bind us—from the weight of unspoken expectations to the currency of shared secrets—the book illuminates the complex patterns that transform connection into constraint. Written with a devastating clarity that echoes through everyday moments of friendship, this work doesn't just describe toxic relationships; it maps the delicate territory between loyalty and self-preservation, offering readers a mirror to recognize their own experiences in the soft violence of manipulated intimacy.

The Art of Delivery ventures inside 10 Downing Street at the turn of the millennium to unveil how Tony Blair's government successfully transformed the public services we value most.
Though the Blair government had a huge mandate, there remained fundamental challenges to success – not least the Blair–Brown rivalry, which manifested itself in a proxy war over the direction of public service reform. Nevertheless, over four years, the Prime Minister's Delivery Unit, led by Sir Michael Barber, upgraded the way in which the British government implemented improvements to the NHS and the education system. It also represented a watershed for how Prime Ministers engage with the real-world delivery of their priorities.
Until now, much of this narrative has remained untold. Based on brand-new research and analysis, Michelle Clement uncovers the full story, drawing on 600,000 words of Sir Michael Barber's unpublished, handwritten private diaries as well as exclusive interviews and government papers. Filled with revealing insider detail, this is a human account of what it takes to effect change from behind that famous black door.
