Invisible Intelligence - Why...

Welby Ings

In Invisible Intelligence, educationalist, filmmaker and best-selling author Welby Ings considers how schools measure intelligence and shows how narrow definitions of literacy and numeracy can lead to bright students being described as ‘behind’ and positioned as problems, when they are not. Ings mixes poignant, humorous and insightful storytelling with current research to explore the ways that some children’s intelligent approaches to problem-solving are dismissed or ignored, with devastating consequences for individuals and society. Yet Invisible Intelligence offers hope. Written with wisdom, experience and compassion, it is the kind of book that ‘puts an arm around the shoulders’ of those who love and work with kids whose intelligence is not recognised because they don’t learn the same way as other children. Pragmatic, wise and helpful, Invisible Intelligence shows what we can do better in education, and why it’s so important that we do.

Egyptian Science and Mathematics...

Omar Khalil

Egyptian civilization, one of the oldest in human history, made extraordinary contributions to various fields of knowledge, particularly science and mathematics. These innovations, which spanned thousands of years, helped shape the development of ancient society and continue to influence modern science and mathematics. In ancient Egypt, knowledge was not merely a tool for survival but an integral part of their spiritual and practical lives. From monumental structures like the pyramids to advancements in medicine and astronomy, Egyptian science and mathematics were not just theoretical pursuits; they were embedded in the daily lives of the people and their understanding of the world around them. 
The ancient Egyptians developed a deep understanding of the natural world, building complex systems of mathematics and science that were essential for both practical and religious purposes. The sciences of astronomy, engineering, and medicine, along with an elaborate system of mathematics, formed the backbone of their civilization. These scientific endeavors were often linked to the Egyptians' strong religious beliefs, which saw the cosmos, time, and the earth as interconnected and governed by divine forces. This understanding led to the creation of highly sophisticated technologies and systems, such as the construction of the pyramids, the development of early medicine, and the creation of accurate calendars for agricultural and religious purposes.

On Benefits

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

The original Latin name of this important essay by Seneca, written around 60 CE, was De Beneficiis, which is why it is generally translated as ‘On Benefits’. However, it is more usefully titled ‘On Favours’, because this is what it is essentially about: the giving and receiving of favours, with all the implications of such transactions. Seneca is concerned with demonstrating that while such exchanges can be straightforward and beneficial to both parties, often there are pitfalls and hidden complications that, sooner or later, result in problems. Though some centuries later Shakespeare summed it up concisely with Polonius’s warning: ‘Neither a borrower nor a lender be,’ Seneca is well aware that in all levels and activities of society, benefits or favours play an undoubtedly crucial role. This was certainly true of Roman society, but little has changed since. Seneca deals with the subject in detail, considering the purposes of role of the giver, of which ‘kindness’, he says, is an important aspect – but not the only one by any means. Similarly, the role and attitude of the receiver, plays its part – and ‘gratitude’ is again only one response. Seneca’s background as a Stoic underpins his approach, so he warns against the inappropriate giving and receiving of benefits, which extend far beyond just material goods: it includes influence, wives, patronage and all manner of vice and immorality. In short, Seneca points out that the giving and receiving of favours can be, and often is a pernicious and dangerous affair, resulting in later disaster. Something to be exercised with caution.
