  Foreword by Ian Gilbert.
  At a time of unprecedented challenges in relation not only to the climate crisis but also to children's and adolescents' mental health, connecting to nature offers an accessible and desirable way forward for today's learners - especially those living in urban surroundings.
  Bringing together evidence from psychology, environmental science and education, Alexia aims to support teachers as they provide meaningful experiences rooted in learning about and through nature. The book can be used in two ways: to inspire individual sessions in nature, or to support teachers in building a cohesive outdoor-learning curriculum throughout the school.
  Featuring practical advice, case studies and discussion of original theory, the book aims to inspire, motivate and stimulate educators to engage with alternative approaches to teaching in the outdoors and with nature in mind - and in such a way that promotes students' learning and fosters a long-lasting relationship with nature.

Detailing the physical and psychological benefits of being outdoors, the book suggests ways to help build young people's connection with nature and support their autonomy in naturalspaces. Alexia offersideas on how to weave nature and the outdoors into the very fabric of the curriculum - for example, in relation to art, literature and technology.
  Suitable for teachers and outdoor-learning leaders in early years through to secondary schools.

  Ghosts of Panama - A Strongman...

  The next-true life NCIS story from New York Times bestselling authors Mark Harmon and Leon Carroll, Jr.  
  Read by the author. 
  Panama, 1989. The once warm relationship between United States and Gen. Manuel Noriega has eroded dangerously. Newly elected President George Bush has declared the strongman a drug trafficker and a rigger of elections. Intimidation on the streets is a daily reality for U.S. personnel and their families. The nation is a powder keg.  
  Naval Investigative Service (NIS) Special Agent Rick Yell has worked the job in Panama since 1986, and lives there with his wife Annya and infant child. Like most NIS agents, he’s a civilian with no military rank with a specialty in working criminal cases. The dynamic changes suddenly when Yell inadvertently develops an intelligence source with unparalleled access to the Noriega regime. Now the agent is thrust into a world of spy-versus-spy, of secret meetings and hidden documents.  
  Yell’s source – known as “The Old Man” – warns when Cuban military personnel arrive and identifies anti-American officers within the Panamanian Defense Forces, provides information about an imprisoned CIA asset and helps track Noriega’s movements, agitating for the dictator’s kidnapping. The reports created by Yell and his NIS colleagues shape the decisions made in Washington D.C., CIA headquarters in Langley and the innermost sanctums of Pentagon. 
  The powder keg is lit on December 16, 1989, when a young U.S. Marine is gunned down at a checkpoint in Panama City. Yell and his cadre of trusted agents deploy immediately to investigate the killing, and what they determine will decide the fate of two nations. When President Bush hears the details they uncover, he orders an invasion that puts Yell’s family, informants and fellow agents directly in harm’s way.    
  Using a blend of research and interviews with the NIS agents who were directly involved, Ghosts of Panama reveals the untold, clandestine story of counterintelligence professionals placed in a pressure cooker assignment of historic proportions.

  Activating the Common Good -...

  Peter Block

  A powerful, inspiring, and achievable vision of a society based on cooperation and community instead of competition and commodification. 
   
  This book counters the dominant and destructive story that we are polarized, violent, selfish, and destined to consume everything in sight. That is not who we are. 
   
  The challenge, Peter Block says, is that we are suffering under an economic theology that is based on scarcity, self-interest, competition, and infinite growth. We're told we can purchase and outsource all that matters. Block calls this the "business perspective narrative." It dominates not only the economy but also architecture, faith communities, journalism, arts, neighborhoods, and much more. 
   
  Block offers an antidote:  the "common good narrative." It embodies the belief that we are basically communal and cooperative. And that we have the capacity to communally produce what we care most about: raising a child, safety, livelihood, health, and a clean and sustainable environment. 
   
  This book describes how shifts to the common good perspective could transform many areas, fostering journalism that reports on what works, architecture that designs habitable spaces creating connection, faith collectives that build community, a market that is restrained and local, and leadership and activism that build social capital by creating trust among citizens. With these shifts, we would fundamentally change the world we live in for the better.

  The Persian Famine of 1869-1871...

  The Persian Famine of 1869-1871 stands as one of the most devastating human catastrophes in the history of 19th-century Persia. It was a tragedy of massive proportions, affecting a significant portion of the population, leading to widespread death, displacement, and suffering. The famine took place during a period of political and economic instability in Persia, under the rule of the Qajar dynasty, and its consequences would resonate throughout the region for years to come. 
  The immediate causes of the famine were a combination of natural disasters, economic mismanagement, and poor governance. A severe drought struck the region in the early years of the famine, leading to crop failures across vast areas of Persia. Wheat and barley, which formed the staple diet of the population, were decimated, leaving millions without their primary source of food. This was further compounded by the devastation of locust swarms that wiped out whatever little remained of the crops. The government’s inability to respond effectively to these crises exacerbated the situation, as there was no coordinated effort to distribute food or provide relief to the suffering population. 
  The geography of Persia also played a significant role in the scale of the famine. With its vast arid regions and limited irrigation infrastructure, Persia was highly vulnerable to fluctuations in climate and weather. The droughts, combined with an inefficient agricultural system, led to widespread food shortages, particularly in the rural areas where most of the population lived. In the cities, food prices soared, making it even more difficult for the poor to survive. As the crisis deepened, people were forced to resort to extreme measures for survival, including selling their children into slavery or fleeing to other regions in search of food.
