  Mass protests and direct action have been familiar tactics against the many crises of the 21st century. Though methods vary, there's a collective longing for meaningful and transformative action. Some are deemed too weak, others too disruptive: from Instagram tiles to cans of soup thrown on famous paintings.
  Through conversations with activists and organisers, Sam Gonçalves recounts stories of protest and the fight for change, from a community of landless workers in Southern Brazil, to chefs unionising their workplace in Glasgow, Scotland. These narratives reveal the opportunities and challenges that are part of the difficult work of creating change, a wrestling with the question: how does change happen?
  Having a 'positive impact' in the world is often relegated to the 'personal', an individual endeavour. Gonçalves investigates that assumption and explores ways communities have resisted collectively, and fought against the individualising forces surrounding them.

  How the miracle on the beaches saved a nation. A gripping account of one of the most famous episodes of the Second World War 
   
   
   
  In May 1940 British and Allied troops on mainland Europe were in a perilous situation: cut off and surrounded, at the conclusion of the bloody Battle of France they faced complete annihilation. It would be a devastating blow, handing Europe to the Nazis. 
   
   
   
  But over a few frantic days, the greatest evacuation in history managed to salvage hope, saving the total destruction of the army and hundreds of thousands of soldiers lives. It was a pivotal and defining moment in the war, one Churchill described as a "miracle" in his "we shall fight them on the beaches" speech. 
   
   
   
  Bestselling author John Harris describes in vivid detail how the evacuation developed on a day-by-day basis, and destroys more than one myth associated with Dunkirk. Packed with authentic atmosphere and first-hand recollections, the retreat and the desperate lifting of the weary British expeditionary force is seen in its tragic but spirited entirety, an epic of courage and confusion without parallel.

  In Sanctuary School, Chandler Patton Miranda highlights the many ways that K–12 schools can provide safe educational spaces and relevant, responsive resources for immigrant students. Miranda prompts educators to think beyond the baseline definition of sanctuary schools as protective institutions that practice legally supported noncooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities. She envisions a whole-school approach to sanctuary that empowers marginalized students via radical welcoming and innovation.In this timely book, Miranda issues a call to action for educators and school leadership to create school spaces where immigrant youth can find belonging even in an era of increased anti-immigrant rhetoric. A forward-looking conclusion equips educators with radical mindset shifts and actionable strategies to navigate a second Trump presidency and an uncertain future for immigrant students. Among other takeaways, Miranda urges educational leaders to align school policy and hiring practices to promote a school culture that nurtures curiosity and ensures that the social and emotional needs of students are being met. This necessary book serves as a blueprint for educators, families, and students to organize within and outside the school community to secure positive outcomes for immigrant students.
