  Erich Fromm

  Fromm’s basic idea was to look at the individual as a social being and to look at society as an ensemble of many individuals who have not only common ideas and convictions based on a common practice of life but also a common psychic structure. With his concept of “social character” he created a new interdisciplinary thinking presented in this reader.  The Erich Fromm Reader exhibits the true genius of an original thinker in seeing the connections between overlapping knowledge from many different fields. Here interdisciplinarity is not only a lip service but the impact of Erich Fromm’s unique social psychological notion.

  The Education Endowment Foundation's Teaching and Learning Toolkit describes collaborative learning as an approach which 'involves pupils working together on activities or learning tasks' and in such a way that enables 'everyone to participate on a collective task that has been clearly assigned'. In the context of this book, Cooperative Learning relates to a number of such activities from simple memorising to more complex analysis and debating which are designed to boost learners' interdependence, participation and interaction.
  Drawing upon both research-informed theory and real-world examples, Jakob Werdelin and Drew Howard present both an insightful introduction to Cooperative Learning as a practice and philosophy and a practical guide to classroom application.
  The authors share their expertise on how to amplify the effect of current pedagogical approaches and schemes of work, simplify performance management as an empowering tool for teachers and leaders, and create an inclusive environment in which every pupil is able to fulfil their learning potential. Jakob and Drew also discuss how Cooperative Learning relates to a range of other aspects of teaching, including assessment, metacognition and Rosenshine's Principles.
  The book focuses on Catch1Partner as an exemplary Cooperative Learning Interaction Pattern (CLIP) as, by fully grasping the principles of staging and running Catch1Partner in its many forms, readers will then be better equipped with the foundational know-how to deploy other CLIPs, such as Sage and Scribe, Word-Round and Rotating Role Reading. The authors also provide a variety of ready-to-photocopy (and downloadable) sample teaching materials, tools, guidelines and an activity transcript in the appendices.
  Suitable for teachers and leaders in both primary and secondary school settings.

  Braving The Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and The Courage to Stand Alone 
  by Brené Brown 
   
  About 
   
  What is true belonging, and do we have to change ourselves to experience it? These are the questions that Dr. Brené Brown strives to answer in Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone. This timely book is a reflection of the social and political realities of the world today, and a deeper look into the deep lonesomeness that is pulling us apart from each other. 
   
  Brené believes that being who we are is the best way to experience real belonging, but this often requires that we ‘brave the wilderness’ by standing out from others and refusing to compromise our natures to conform. Through a potent mix of storytelling, research, and personal reflections, Brené spins a narrative about the ways to change our cultural conversation to create true belonging. Within her work, Brené offers the clarity and courage we all need to find ourselves and each other again- if only we are willing to brave the wilderness. 
   
  Here’s What You’ll Learn About in This Summary: 
   
  - Why ‘true belonging’ means that you won’t be like anyone else. 
   
  - The importance of showing up for communal events. 
   
  - Why getting closer to people makes them harder to hate. 
   
  - The importance of maintaining a strong back and soft front 
   
  - How to use a powerful acronym, BRAVING, for finding more significant meaning in our lives.

  Dangerous Medicine - The Story...

  The untold history of America's mid-twentieth-century program of hepatitis infection research, its scientists' aspirations, and the damage the project caused human subjects From 1942 through 1972, American biomedical researchers deliberately infected people with hepatitis. Government-sponsored researchers were attempting to discover the basic features of the disease and the viruses causing it, and to develop interventions that would quell recurring outbreaks. Drawing from extensive archival research and in-person interviews, Sydney Halpern traces the hepatitis program from its origins in World War II through its expansion during the initial Cold War years, to its demise in the early 1970s amid an outcry over research abuse. The subjects in hepatitis studies were members of stigmatized groups—conscientious objectors, prison inmates, the mentally ill, and developmentally disabled adults and children. The book reveals how researchers invoked military and scientific imperatives and the rhetoric of a common good to win support for the experiments and access to recruits. Halpern examines the participants' long-term health consequences and raises troubling questions about hazardous human experiments aimed at controlling today's epidemic diseases.
