The safeguarding and child protection challenges in education have never been more complex, nor the legal duties on schools and colleges more stringent. The criminal and sexual exploitation of children, FGM, radicalization, and online safety are sadly all now part of the remit, as are self-harm and mental health issues. And these safeguarding challenges are found not only in urban communities but also in leafy suburbs and rural idylls throughout.

In the last decades, America has gone to war as supposed defenders of democracy. The War on Terror was waged to protect the West from the dangers of Islamists. US soldiers are stationed in more than 800 locations across the world to act as the righteous arbiters of the rule of law. In this book, Andrew Cockburn brilliantly dissects the intentions behind Washington's martial appetites.

Cosa accade negli allevamenti e nei macelli del nostro Paese? È veramente sicuro ciò che mangiamo? In un'inchiesta sull'industria italiana della carne e dei formaggi dell'eccellenza "Made in Italy", Giulia Innocenzi affianca animalisti, veterinari e allevatori per svelare un mondo oscuro in cui gli animali sopravvivono a malapena in spazi microscopici, sporchi, senz'aria; costretti a vere e proprie torture, malati e imbottiti di antibiotici che finiscono sulle nostre tavole.

On October 17, 2018, Canada became the first G7 nation to legalize cannabis for recreational use.

Desde una estrella en ascenso en The New Yorker, una crónica profundamente inmersiva de cómo los empresarios optimistas de Silicon Valley se propusieron crear un internet libre y democrático, y cómo los propagandistas cínicos de la alt-right explotaron esa libertad para impulsar el extremo hacia la corriente principal. Durante varios años, Andrew Marantz, un escritor neoyorquino, ha estado incrustado en dos mundos.

We’re used to assuming that politics stop at the classroom door. Those days are over. Are your kids being indoctrinated in school? Unfortunately, it’s increasingly likely. From “social justice” to critical race theory, and from advocacy and activism campaigns to planned “action weeks", teachers and schools nationwide are abandoning neutrality in the classroom, embracing political agendas and partisan aims, and expecting students to get on board.

From city streets to City Hall and to Midtown corporate offices, Saving Stuyvesant Town is the incredible true story of how one middle-class community defeated the largest residential real estate deal in American history.

As a leader, is it possible to be both successful and humble? Studies show that today's emerging leaders not only prioritize achievement over humility but also see the two as mutually exclusive. Does this signal an existential crisis for healthcare - an industry that, at its essence, is supposed to embody humility and compassion? Thankfully, no, according to Intangibles: The Unexpected Traits of High-Performing Healthcare Leaders, which demonstrates that you can embrace humility and still be excellent at your job.

Do teachers have a front-row seat to America’s decline? Jeremy S. Adams, a teacher at both the high school and college levels, thinks so. Adams has spent decades trying to instill wisdom, ambition, and a love of learning in his students. And yet, as he notes, when teachers get together, they often share an arresting conclusion: Something has gone terribly wrong. Something essential is missing in our young people. Their curiosity seems stunted, their reason undeveloped, their values uninformed, their knowledge lacking, and, most worrying of all, their humanity diminished.

Refugee High is a riveting chronicle of the 2017-18 school year at Sullivan High, a time when anti-immigrant rhetoric was at its height in the White House. Even as we follow teachers and administrators grappling with the everyday challenges facing many urban schools, we witness the complicated circumstances and unique education needs of refugee and immigrant children: Alejandro may be deported just days before he is scheduled to graduate; Shahina narrowly escapes an arranged marriage; and Esengo is shot at the beginning of the school year.

O polêmico movimento Escola sem Partido começou em 2003 como uma organização informal preocupada com “a contaminação político-ideológica das escolas” e o “abuso da liberdade de ensinar”. O movimento cresceu, ganhou adeptos incondicionais e adversários ferrenhos. Porém, mais importante do que evocar adjetivos apaixonados é ampliar o debate sobre a ética profissional docente: o que professores podem e devem fazer na sala de aula?

Focusing on disparities in employment, housing, education and health care, Wise argues that racism is indeed still an acute problem in the United States today and that colorblind policies actually worsen the problem of racial injustice. Colorblind presents a timely and provocative look at contemporary racism and offers fresh ideas on what can be done to achieve true social justice and economic equality.

Episodi di sangue, violenza e intrighi da cui emerge il potere devastante della camorra. Protagonisti delle storie non sono soltanto i boss e i loro sicari alle prese con omicidi, stragi ed esecuzioni brutali, ma anche personaggi della società civile che hanno pagato un prezzo altissimo nel tentativo di opporsi alla logica della violenza e dell'illegalità: in questo libro si parla di gente perbene, vittime innocenti, poliziotti corrotti, killer pentiti, preti dalla doppia vita, politici collusi, eroi mancati, martiri ammazzati nell'indifferenza generale.

Marc Morano’s analysis of the proposed Green New Deal is eye-opening and damning. Morano exposes the program as a far-left agenda filled with progressive policies disguised as a way to save the planet. No matter what the environmental scare-of-the-day may be, Morano says, the same solution is always proposed - and that solution should scare us. Morano clearly reveals how the Green New Deal will lay a path for “global governance”, resulting in less freedom, less sovereignty, massive government bureaucracy, and significant, crippling wealth redistribution.

Piven and Cloward have updated their classic work on the history and function of welfare to cover the American welfare state's massive erosion during the Reagan, Bush, and Clinton years. The authors present a boldly comprehensive, brilliant new theory to explain the comparative underdevelopment of the US welfare state among advanced industrial nations. Their conceptual framework promises to shape the debate within current and future administrations as they attempt to rethink the welfare system and its role in American society.

In Making the Second Ghetto, Arnold Hirsch argues that in the post-depression years Chicago was a "pioneer in developing concepts and devices" for housing segregation. Hirsch shows that the legal framework for the national urban renewal effort was forged in the heat generated by the racial struggles waged on Chicago's South Side.

As white supremacy, ultra-nationalism, rabid misogyny, and anti-immigrant fervor coalesce, a new and uniquely American form of fascism looms. Could our current moment actually bring about the end of democracy in the United States? Are Americans willing to surrender their freedom and dignity, along with their ongoing struggle for equality, justice, and mutual respect in the face of the rising tide of political and ideological extremism?
