  This title consists of 3 books, which are about these topics:1 - Stalingrad has changed names. It's now called Volgograd and is still one of the largest cities in Russia. But we can't ignore the fact that for a significant time in history, it was called Stalingrad, named after the tyrant and leader of the Soviet Union in the Second World War, Joseph Stalin. Let's explore the history of this city during the Second World War, and why the battles fought there were so horrendous and pivotal in history.2 - From 1924 till his death in 1953, Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin was a Georgian revolutionary and Soviet politician who ruled the Soviet Union. He was General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1952 and Chairman of the Soviet Union's Council of Ministers from 1941 to 1953. In spite of ruling the nation as part of a collective management, he ultimately combined power and ended up being the totalitarian of the Soviet Union by the 1930s. Stalin, a communist dedicated to Lenin's grasp of Marxism, formalized these concepts as Marxism-- Leninism, while his personal policies were called Stalinism.3 - From 1922 till 1991, the Soviet Union, officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), was a socialist state that covered Europe and Asia. It was in theory a federal union of different sovereign republics; but, till its closing years, its administration and economy were highly centralized.

  Rest Is Resistance - Group...

  The work we do doesn’t define our worth. Imagine a world where justice includes space for rest and leisure, away from the relentless grind created by capitalism, white supremacy, and other oppressive forces. For centuries, these systems have exploited bodies for production, leading to destruction and harm by denying the inherent divinity in every human being. But now, people are waking up to this manipulation, and they’re starting to prioritize rest and healing. 
  America was built on the labor of Black and Indigenous people, whose right to rest was denied. The capitalist system grew out of violence and the theft of labor on plantations. These oppressive systems view human bodies as property, not as divine beings. We've been conditioned to believe we must work endlessly or risk falling into poverty. But there’s more beyond this narrow view.

  The BRAND NEW final instalment in Adam Lofthouse's epic Enemy of the Empire trilogy. ⚔️ If you like Matthew Harffy and Ben Kane, you will love this! 
  And so we have reached the end of my tale. But what are endings if not new beginnings? 
  Alaric has been home for a year. He went north and saved the Cimbri, just as he said he would. But the cost has been higher than he ever thought. A shadow of the War Lord he once was, he now trades in amber and dotes on his children. 
  A simple life. And with it, contentment. But he knew this couldn’t last forever; peace isn’t for someone like him, and sure enough trouble finds him once again. A routine journey south turns into a new and unknown wave of danger as red-cloaked legionaries attack, causing confusion and carnage. 
  Warriors dressed as Romans have been scouring the country, slaughtering innocent people, and leaving Roman footprints wherever they march. But things are not what they seem, and it falls to Alaric to don his armour once more, and march his Ravensworn in pursuit of a mysterious enemy that could destabilise his world beyond repair.

  A Brief History of the...

  A Waterstones Best Book of 2024: Nature Writing 
  The untold story of rural Britain revealed through its artefacts 
  'A really lovely, fascinating book. I dived straight into this clever, joyous, celebration of nature, history, and – of course – the countryside.' Charles Spencer, author of The White Ship 
  For most of human history, we were rural folk.  
  Our daily lives were bound up with working the land, living within the rhythm of the seasons. We poured our energies into growing food, tending to animals and watching the weather. Family, friends and neighbours were often one and the same. Life revolved around the village and its key spaces and places – the church, the green, the school and the marketplace. 
  And yet rural life is oddly invisible our historical records. The daily routine of the peasant, the farmer or the craftsperson could never compete with the glamour of city life, war and royal drama. Lives went unrecorded, stories untold. 
  There is, though, one way in which we can learn about our rural past. The things we have left behind provide a connection that no document can match; physical artefacts are touchstones that breathe life into its history. From farming tools to children’s toys, domestic objects and strange curios, the everyday items of the past reveal fascinating insights into an often-forgotten way of life. Birth, death, celebration, work, crime, play, medicine, beliefs, diet and our relationship with nature can all be read from these remnants of our past. 
  From ancient artefacts to modern-day memorabilia, this startling book weaves a rich tapestry from the fragments of our rural past. 
  In her non-fiction book A Brief History of the Countryside in 100 Objects, Sally Coulthard explores the social and cultural dynamics of rural life in Europe. The book, steeped in anthropology and environmental conservation, emphasises the importance of regional studies and the protection of our environment. 
  For fans of Jane Cooper (The Lost Flock), Charles King (Every Valley), Lee Alan Dugatkin (Mr. Jefferson and the Giant Moose), James Rebanks (The Shepherd's View), and Clara Parkes (Vanishing Fleece).

  Mindfulness and the idea that consciousness creates reality can seem pretty out there. 
  Blogger/Podcaster MJ Blehart works to use plain language, life experience, and his own trial-and-error actions to help define and create a Kickass Life. You Are Amazing is not just a statement of fact, but a recognition of your ability to create an incredible life for yourself. 
  How to Create a Kickass Life explores how to work with overcoming fears, uncertainties, recognizing truths about the human condition, and using our thoughts, feelings and intentional actions to be amazing and build incredible lives. MJ is just like you, a fairly regular person who has experienced both mundane and unbelievable things. 
  Working with mindfulness and awareness, MJ brings you an approachable angle towards living an amazing, full life, and recognizing how truly amazing you can be. There's some hooky-spooky BS here, because it's not all BS and totally out-there weirdness. But also, a self-aware journey into living the best possible life we can. Choosing and deciding to recognize how amazing you are is a keystone in this lifetime process. 
  Wouldn't it be cool to stop worrying about things and lead a satisfying life?

  Basic Principles of Curriculum...

  In 1949, a small book had a big impact on education. In just over one hundred pages, Ralph W. Tyler presented the concept that curriculum should be dynamic, a program under constant evaluation and revision. Curriculum had always been thought of as a static, set program, and in an era preoccupied with student testing, he offered the innovative idea that teachers and administrators should spend as much time evaluating their plans as they do assessing their students. 
   
  Since then, Basic Principles of Curriculum and Instruction has been a standard reference for anyone working with curriculum development. Although not a strict how-to guide, the book shows how educators can critically approach curriculum planning, studying progress and retooling when needed. Its four sections focus on setting objectives, selecting learning experiences, organizing instruction, and evaluating progress. Readers will come away with a firm understanding of how to formulate educational objectives and how to analyze and adjust their plans so that students meet the objectives. Tyler also explains that curriculum planning is a continuous, cyclical process, an instrument of education that needs to be fine-tuned. 
   
  This emphasis on thoughtful evaluation has kept Basic Principles of Curriculum and Instruction a relevant, trusted companion for over sixty years. And with school districts across the nation working feverishly to align their curriculum with Common Core standards, Tyler’s straightforward recommendations are sound and effective tools for educators working to create a curriculum that integrates national objectives with their students’ needs.
