    Written by speaker and teacher Peter Radford, Love Teaching, Keep Teaching: The essential guide to improving wellbeing at all levels in schools is a practical guide to staying well in a high-pressure profession. 
    In the midst of a recruitment crisis and a massive exodus of teachers from our schools, now is the time for some joined-up thinking about teacher wellbeing and mental health. 
    Offering insightful advice and practical strategies, Peter invites you to think differently about the way education is ‘done’ and how you can keep doing the job you love without sacrificing your health and wellbeing. 
    Love Teaching, Keep Teaching paints a picture of a truly ‘healthy school’ as being one in which the value of each staff member and student is fundamental to everything we do. It also shares a fresh perspective on school leadership, encouraging leaders to rethink common practices and to explore the rewards and benefits of employing a people-focused approach. 
    Split into three parts, the book covers the following key aspects of improving wellbeing in schools: 
    1. Teachers and leaders improving their own wellbeing. 
    2. The role of teachers and leaders in improving wellbeing across schools. 
    3. The challenge to change the culture of our schools and education system. 
    Peter challenges the current way of measuring student progress and appraising teachers, and sends a wake-up call to encourage professionals and policymakers to ‘do’ education differently in order to prevent the current exodus of teachers from the profession. Furthermore, Peter also draws upon his own experiences as a teacher struggling under the heavy workload that ultimately played a part in his subsequent breakdown – and draws key lessons from his reflections to help other educators avoid the same fate. 
    Suitable for teachers and school leaders in both primary and secondary settings.

    This collection explores how seafarers, steppe warriors, and rising dynasties carved out vast territories and left lasting legacies across continents. 
    Begin with The Viking Age, a period of daring maritime expeditions, raids, and settlements that extended from Scandinavia to the British Isles, France, and even North America. The Vikings were not only fierce warriors but also skilled navigators and traders, spreading influence from Iceland to Byzantium. 
    Next, follow The Rise of the Ottoman Empire, which emerged in the late medieval period as a powerful force that bridged Europe and Asia. From humble beginnings in Anatolia, the Ottomans grew into an imperial power that would eventually reshape the political and religious map of the region. 
    Conclude with The Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous land empire in history. Led by Genghis Khan and his successors, the Mongols connected East and West through military conquest and an unparalleled trade network that facilitated the movement of goods, technologies, and ideas across Eurasia. 
    Together, these three explorations of expansion demonstrate the far-reaching ambitions and transformative power of medieval societies that shaped the world far beyond their borders.

    Since her death in 2003, Nina Simone has been the subject of an astonishing number of rereleased, remastered, and remixed albums and compilations as well as biographies, films, viral memes, samples, and soundtracks. In Fantasies of Nina Simone, Jordan Alexander Stein examines the space between our collective and individual fantasies about Simone the performer, civil rights activist, and icon, and her own fantasies about herself. Stein outlines how Simone gave voice to personal fantasies through releasing dozens of covers of her white male contemporaries. With her covers of George Harrison, the Bee Gees, Bob Dylan, and others, Simone explored and claimed the power and perspective that come with race and gender privilege. Looking at examples from Simone's four-decade genre-bending career—from songbook standards, jazz, and pop to folk, junkanoo, and reggae—and at her work's many uptakes and afterlives, Stein mobilizes the psychoanalytic concept of fantasy to build a black feminist history with and for this multifaceted performing artist.
