  Schools do amazing work to support children from disadvantaged backgrounds. But this book will enable them to do more. Disadvantage comes in many forms, but cultural poverty, where some students have relative knowledge gaps compared with their more affluent peers, can be addressed successfully by schools. The Working Classroom explores how working-class students are disadvantaged by a flawed system and what schools can do to close the gap.
  Written by two experienced authors with a deep understanding of the challenges that poverty and low aspiration can bring, and a passion for social justice, The Working Classroom examines how and why we must seek systemic changes. The book focuses on actions within the control of teachers and school leaders which will ensure that we create a socially just education system - one that builds on the rich heritage of the working-class, rather than seeing their background as a weakness. It offers practical ways for students and families to build on the best of working-class culture, whilst also empowering teachers, students and parents to change the system.
  The Working Classroom provides teachers with useful methods to improve the cultural capital of students from disadvantaged backgrounds that can be easily replicated and implemented in their own setting. Backed up by practical case studies that have a proven impact in schools with high levels of deprivation, this book will enable teachers to audit their current provision and encourage them to adopt new systems and practices so that they, and the wider school, will have a greater impact on the lives of working-class students and their families.
  Suitable for both teachers and leaders in a secondary school or sixth form college setting who seek to support social change in education and anyone in the corporate or non-education world who wants to practice effective altruism or philanthropy.

  In the complex ecosystem of urban environments, the twin imperatives of safety and resilience represent some of the most fundamental challenges facing modern cities. As urban populations grow and densify, the vulnerability of metropolitan regions to both human-made threats and natural disasters intensifies, creating unprecedented challenges for governance, planning, and community response. This comprehensive exploration delves into the multifaceted domains of Urban Crime and Safety, Urban Disaster Management, and City Resilience—examining how cities develop systems, strategies, and social infrastructures to protect their inhabitants from harm while building capacity to withstand, recover from, and adapt to catastrophic events. 
  The narrative of urban safety and disaster response transcends technical systems; it encompasses the intricate relationships between built environments, social dynamics, institutional preparedness, and community cohesion that collectively determine how effectively cities can protect their populations. By examining the complex intersections of crime prevention through environmental design, comprehensive disaster risk reduction frameworks, and holistic approaches to urban resilience, this book illuminates how cities are evolving from passive settings where hazards occur to active agents of protection and adaptation. Readers will journey through diverse urban contexts—from crime prevention strategies in high-density neighborhoods to disaster management systems in seismically active regions and resilience-building initiatives in climate-vulnerable coastal cities—discovering how safety and security emerge not merely from technological solutions, but from integrated approaches that strengthen social connections, institutional capabilities, and physical infrastructure simultaneously.

  How much do you know about the “cradle of civilization?” Come explore the legacy of the brilliant ancient Mesopotamians who transformed the world. 
  Ancient Mesopotamia’s legacy was truly revolutionary. Childlike pictures scratched into wet clay evolved into the first written language. The Mesopotamians wrote the first epic poems, the first hymns, the first histories, and the first law codes. They developed the first wheel for transportation; simple carts that hauled bricks or produce morphed into chariots racing along at thirty-five miles per hour. 
  They gazed at the sky and mapped it, observing the planets’ retrograde motions and predicting lunar and solar eclipses. They developed the concept of time, measurements, basic counting, higher math, and hydraulic engineering. 
  Mesopotamia gave birth to the world’s first great empires—the Akkadians, Assyrians, Babylonians, and Achaemenids—which stretched over three continents. 
  A glimpse at the questions this overview unpacks includes:How old is the world’s first city?How did the Eridu Genesis compare to Noah and the ark?How fast was the world’s first postal system?How many times did Babylon’s patron god Marduk get stolen?How did Hammurabi’s law code compare to the Law of Moses?Who calculated pi (π) to the value of 3.125 and understood the Pythagorean theorem twelve centuries before Pythagoras was born?Did Xerxes really have a million men in his army?Which empire encompassed 44 percent of the world’s population?What eunuch poisoned most of the Persian royal family?And much, much more!

  The world is changing, it's getting increasingly more difficult to be a young person and to raise young people. Without a plan to navigate the change, you'll end up in ice-cold water you thought was warm. We get so attached to the identity of being a student, or an athlete, or the fact that we'll never be young again that we end up losing sight of what we can sustain long-term.  
  If you're in school now in your 20s, it's likely you're performing at less than 50% of your maximum potential. This book will help you pump those numbers up. 
  The Four Year Fantasy explores how College and University life can shape young adults in irreversible ways (GOOD and BAD). It outlines the skewed notions of what "the experience" is, and is meant to wake people up before they waste their "Superhuman years." This book offers insights on how to seize opportunities for personal growth and outlines the author's journey to success which includes breakthrough realizations that came from navigating the world with the social proof of a University student. 
  It's a student's guide to success, and a parent's guide to raising strong, smart, independent, and purpose-driven people. 
  For many readers, this will be the last three-hour lecture you’ll ever sit through...
