Get a master mentorship from the billion-dollar Hollywood producer many already look to for guidance, empowerment, and encouragement. As Kevin Hart says of working with Will Packer: “I became a student and learned from the way he was moving. The man helped me grow and gave me the knowledge.”Whether you’re just starting out or ready to make a major move, Who Better Than You? offers invaluable advice on success, leadership, and leaving a legacy. You know Will Packer’s movies. From Stomp the Yard to Ride Along to Girls Trip, his films have collectively grossed more than $1 billion at the box office, with ten opening at number one! To outsiders, the unabashed confidence that has driven him since his college days—when he was trying to sell a micro-budget indie film—may look like arrogance. To Packer, that’s just what it took to make it on his own terms. With Who Better Than You?, Packer has created the success toolkit he wished he’d had back then, filled with illuminating and laugh-out-loud stories as well as indispensable guidance, such as:1. Be arrogant! The highest-achieving people have “healthy arrogance”: confidence not only in themselves and their abilities but also in their right to be successful. Start believing your goals are predestined to be achieved.2. Treat your goals as essential and vital—not just for you but for everyone around you. When you take your ambitions seriously, others will too.3. It’s the work you put in when nobody’s watching that makes everyone pay attention later. There is not a single person on earth more deserving of achieving their wildest dreams than you. But it will never happen until you start to act accordingly.It’s time for you to start producing your own blockbuster life—by first believing there is no one more deserving of it than you.

Acclaimed National Book Award-winning author George Packer diagnoses America s descent into a failed state, and envisions a path toward overcoming injustices, paralyses, and divides How, in a few decades, did the United States transform from a broadly prosperous middle-class country, with relatively healthy institutions and competent leaders, to a nation defined by discredited elites, hollowed-out institutions, and blatant inequalities-feared and pitied by our friends, mocked and sabotaged by our adversaries, first in the world in Covid cases and deaths, and led in recent years by an incompetent authoritarian bigot? Last Best Hope is a bracing account of our current crisis and of how a new era of civic revitalization may bring it to an end. Combining reportage with historical narrative, autobiography, and political analysis, Packer depicts and assesses the four inadequate narratives that dominate American public life: Libertarian America, which imagines a nation of individuals responsible for their own fate, and serves the interests of corporations and the wealthy; Cosmopolitan America, the ideology of Silicon Valley and the professional elite,which celebrates globalization and leaves many American communities behind; Diverse America, which defines citizens as members of large identity groups that have inflicted or suffered oppression; and White America, a shallow nationalism that fears the contamination of non-whites and treachery of coastal elites, and poses the greatest threat to democracy in our lifetime. At a time when many fear that the American experiment in self-government may collapse, or, in Abraham Lincoln s words, die by suicide , Packer shows that none of these narratives can sustain American democracy. To point a better way forward, he looks back at previous eras of crisis to discover the resources for invigorating self-government. Combining trenchant social analysis with a vibrant and stinging essayistic voice and a deep knowledge of America s past and present, Last Best Hope is an essential contribution to the literature of national self-examination the times demand.

How dominant culture—from sexism and homophobia to racism, capitalism, ableism, and more—has limited the science of animal behavior, and how we can free ourselves from these limited perspectives.In Feminism in the Wild, Ambika Kamath and Melina Packer reveal how scientists studying animal behavior have long projected human norms and values onto animals while seeking to understand them. When scientific studies conclude that these norms and values are natural in animals, it makes it easier to think of them as natural in humans too. And because scientists, historically and to this day, largely belong to elite, powerful segments of society, the norms and values embedded in animal behavior science match those of the already powerful. How can animal behavior science escape this trap of naturalizing dominant culture?Drawing from decades of feminist, antiracist, queer, disability justice, and Marxist contributions—including those of biologists—Kamath and Packer break down persistent assumptions in the status quo of animal behavior science and offer a multitude of alternative approaches. Core concepts in animal behavior science and evolutionary biology—from sex categories and sexual selection to fitness, adaptation, biological determinism, and more—are carefully contextualized and critically reexamined. This unique collaboration between an animal behavior scientist and a feminist science studies scholar is an illuminating and hopeful read for anyone who is curious about how animals behave, and anyone who wants to break free from scientific approaches that perpetuate systems of oppression.

Český dabing. Nico (DVD) Chicagský policajt Nico Toscani (Steven Seagal) je na stopě něčeho velkého. Podezřelí, zadržení při policejním protidrogovém zátahu, jsou propuštěni a Nico sám musí odevzdat policejní odznak. Možná, že ho postavili mimo službu – v akci mu ale zabránit nemohou. Pro Stevena Seagala je Nico senzačním filmovým debutem, který ho katapultoval přímo mezi největší akční hvězdy a vyslal ho po stopách bývalých agentů CIA, kteří pašují drogy... a plánují politický atentát. Jak se Nico a jeho partnerka Jax (Pam Grier) blíží k psychopatickému gangsterskému bossovi (Henry Silva), rozpoutává režisér Andrew Davis (Uprchlík) nad celým Chicagem doslova akční smršť. Těžko ho zabít (DVD) Agent Mason Storm (Steven Seagal) odhalil spojení vysoce postavených politiků s mafií. Protože se nechtěl nechat zastavit v boji proti korupci, zločinci připravili krutou pomstu - skupina vrahů přepadla jeho rodinu a Masonova manželka je zastřelena. Také agenta považují za mrtvého. Mason Storm však žije. Bude trvat velmi dlouho, než se pustí do hledání vrahů. Potom už jej však nic nezastavíDetektiv Mason Storm pořídí usvědčující videozáznam schůzky neznámého poslance se zločineckým podsvětím, na níž se domlouvá vražda senátora Campbella, po jehož křesle poslanec touží. Zločinci však Storma odhalí, a aby získali videokazetu, vyvraždí celou Stormovu rodinu. Nevšimnou si však, že syn stačil uprchnout. Vážně zraněný Storm, oficiálně prohlášený za mrtvého, upadne do kómatu. Zatímco zkorumpovaný kapitán Huiland se pokusí Stormovu památku pošpinit, jeho kolega a přítel O´Malley zachrání usvědčující videozáznam a zajistí, aby byl Storm inkognito převezen do bezpečí, kde by se případně mohl uzdravit. Storm se po sedmi letech probere z kómatu. Mafiáni se to ale dozvědí a ihned se ho pokoušejí zabít. Storma zachrání zdravotní sestra Andy Stewartová, která ho ukryje. Detektiv se postupně uzdravuje a fyzicky i psychicky se připravuje k odplatě a odhalení spiknutí. Andy a Storm se do sebe brzy zamilují. Zločinci však stahují smyčku kolem Storma a likvidují všechny, kteří překážejí. Storm naváže kontakt s O´Malleym a posílen zjištěním, že jeho syn přežil, začíná tvrdě usilovat o naplnění spravedlnosti. Nemilosrdná spravedlnost (DVD) Na odpočinku? To tak. Steven Seagal, hvězda více než deseti skvělých akčních filmů posledního desetiletí, bojuje v thrilleru Johna Flynna (Kriminál, Bestseller) jako nikdo jiný. Polda Gino Felino (Seagal) se v Brooklynu narodil i vyrostl a viděl v “sousedství” už hodně změn. Jedna z těch smutných je, že jeho nepřítel z dětství a kriminálník Richie (William Forsythe) proměnil místní ulice ve válečnou zónu. Chová se jako vzteklý pes, utržený ze řetězu, a Gino by ho velmi ochotně poslal do věčných lovišť. On a jeho unavený parťák (Jerry Orbach ze seriálu Právo a pořádek) ale musí Richieho nejdřív chytit. Nastává sólo pro Seagalovo pozoruhodné umění aikida a z Nemilosrdné spravedlnosti se stává nemilosrdná podívaná. Přepadení v Pacifiku (DVD) Když na bitevní loď Missouri pozvou hudebníky, kteří ji mají provázet na slavnostní poslední plavbě, nikdo netuší jakou party tihle muzikanti rozjedou. Rozhodně to bude party s překvapením. Z kapely se vyklube komando elitních zabijáků, vedených bývalým agentem CIA (Tommy Lee Jones) a zběhlým důstojníkem (Gary Busey), kteří prahnou po jaderném arzenálu plavidla. Rychle přemůžou celou posádku. Až na jednoho muže, který tvrdí, že je „jenom kuchař.“ Jenže je to kuchař s receptem na vynikající akci: bývalý mariňák s vyznamenáními z boje Casey Ryback (Steven Seagal). Všichni fandové akce na palubu. Přepadení 2: Temné území (DVD) Špičkový expert na elektroniku (Eric Bogosian) se zmocnil luxusního vlaku Grand Continental, aby ho přetvořil v pojízdnou základnu pro válečný satelit. Ryback se ale jako jediný vyhne zajetí. Z vlaku se stává bojiště, satelit je zaměřený na cíl a na Grand Continental se v protisměru řítí nákladní vlak převážející benzin. Dokáže Ryback zhatit plány zločinců? Kdo chce znát odpověď, musí nastoupit. Glimmer Man (DVD) Nebezpečný hon na sériového vraha. Populární komik Wayans vnáší do své drsné role obvyklou porci bonmotů a akční ikona Steven Seagal zůstává věrná své pověsti: probíjí se dynamickými bojovými sekvencemi a dodává jim navíc i svůj klasický suchý humor. Bývalý Newyorčan Cole, který nosí buddhistické modlitební korálky, spoléhá na prastaré elixíry a žije podle východních filozofií, je nejdivnější partner, s jakým se protřelý městský polda Campbell kdy setkal. A jak to tak Campbell vidí, Cole by mohl být ještě něco navíc: podezřelý číslo jedna v jejich vyšetřování vraždy. Tajný agent Jack T.

Russian novels, poetry and ballet put the country squarely in the European family of cultures and yet there is something different about this country, especially in terms of its political culture. What makes Russia different? Maxim Trudolyubov uses private property as a lens to highlight the most important features that distinguish Russia as a political culture. In many Western societies, private property has acted as the private individualâ ™s bulwark against the state; in Russia, by contrast, it has mostly been used by the authorities as a governance tool. Nineteenth-century Russian liberals did not consider property rights to be one of the civil causes worthy of defending. Property was associated with serfdom, and even after the emancipation of the serfs the institution of property was still seen as an attribute of retrograde aristocracy and oppressive government. It was something to be destroyed â “ and indeed it was, in 1917. Ironically, it was the Soviet Union that, with the arrival of mass housing in the 1960s, gave the concept of private ownership a good name. After forced collectivization and mass urbanization, people were yearning for a space of their own. The collapse of the Soviet ideology allowed property to be called property, but not all properties were equal. You could own a flat but not an oil company, which could be property on paper but not in reality. This is why most Russian entrepreneurs register their businesses in offshore jurisdictions and park their money abroad. This fresh and highly original perspective on Russian history will be of great interest to anyone who wants to understand Russia today.

European Intellectual Property Law offers a full account of the main areas of substantive European IP law and a discussion of their wider context and effect.The amount and reach of European law, and decision-making in the field of intellectual property has grown exponentially since the 1960s, making it increasingly difficult to treat European law as an adjunct to domestic intellectual property regimes. European Intellectual Property Law responds to this reality by presenting a clear and detailed account of each of the main areas of substantive EU intellectual property law, situated in the context of both the EU legal system and international IP law, including EU constitutional law, the law of the European Patent Convention 1973/2000, and private international law. It draws selectively on examples from domestic IP regimes to illustrate substantive differences between those regimes and to demonstrate the impact of European law, and decision-making on EU Member States.This unique, thoroughly modern approach goes beyond a discussion of the provisions of European legal instruments to consider their wider context and effect. European Intellectual Property Law is the ideal guide for any student wishing to gain a full and critical understanding of the substantive European law of intellectual property.Digital formatsThis second edition is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats. - The e-book offers a mobile experience and convenient access along with functionality tools, navigation features, and links that offer extra learning support: www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk/ebooks

In the Twelfth Edition, Solomon has revised and updated the content to reflect major marketing trends and changes that impact the study of consumer behavior. Since we are all consumers, many of the topics have both professional and personal relevance to students, making it easy to apply them outside of the classroom. The updated text is rich with up-to-the-minute discussions on a range of topics such as Dadvertising, Meerkating, and the Digital Self to maintain an edge in the fluid and evolving field of consumer behavior. MyMarketingLab(TM) not included. Students, if MyMarketingLab is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN and course ID. MyMarketingLab should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.

Steven Pinker, the bestselling author of The Language Instinct, deploys his gift for explaining big ideas in The Sense of Style - an entertaining writing guide for the 21st centuryWhat is the secret of good prose? Does writing well even matter in an age of instant communication? Should we care? In this funny, thoughtful book about the modern art of writing, Steven Pinker shows us why we all need a sense of style.More than ever before, the currency of our social and cultural lives is the written word, from Twitter and texting to blogs, e-readers and old-fashioned books. But most style guides fail to prepare people for the challenges of writing in the 21st century, portraying it as a minefield of grievous errors rather than a form of pleasurable mastery. They fail to deal with an inescapable fact about language: it changes over time, adapted by millions of writers and speakers to their needs. Confusing changes in the world with moral decline, every generation believes the kids today are degrading society and taking language with it. A guide for the new millennium, writes Steven Pinker, has to be different.Drawing on the latest research in linguistics and cognitive science, Steven Pinker replaces the recycled dogma of previous style guides with reason and evidence. This thinking person s guide to good writing shows why style still matters: in communicating effectively, in enhancing the spread of ideas, in earning a reader s trust and, not least, in adding beauty to the world. Eye-opening, mind-expanding and cheerful, The Sense of Style shows that good style is part of what it means to be human.

Odehrál třetí nejvyšší počet zápasů za reprezentaci v historii anglického fotbalu. Byl pravděpodobně nejlepším a zcela jistě nejzanícenějším britským sportovcem své generace. Ale kdo je vlastně Steven Gerrard? Za svůj milovaný Liverpool odehrál více než 700 zápasů a za národní tým Anglie dalších 114. Steven Gerrard je sportovec, jemuž se nikdo nevyrovná v oddanosti spoluhráčům, a je nezpochybnitelným vzorem. Ale díky čemu se stal tím, kým je? A díky čemu se mu podařilo zůstat tak dlouho na vrcholu v nejtěžší lize světa? V knize Můj příběh vypráví Gerrard upřímně o své mimořádné kariéře, klíčových zápasech a momentech, na něž nám nabízí vlastní pohled ze hřiště. Ať už je to úžasný obrat Liverpoolu ve finále Ligy mistrů 2005 nebo jeho starty na mistrovstvích světa a Evropy, podává nám vzrušující obraz výher – a proher – před desítkami tisíc bouřících fanoušků. A především je to úžasný a velmi vzácný osobní příběh o tom, jaké to je zůstat věrný jedinému klubu v časech dobrých i zlých. Bez vytáček, odvážně a upřímně se v knize Stevena Gerrarda Můj příběh vypráví o typu hráčů, kteří už vymírají – o muži, jenž drží slovo a jenž je věrný svému klubu i sám sobě.

STEVEN GERRARD odohral za reprezentáciu Anglicka tretí najvyšší počet zápasov v jej histórii. Možno ho považovať za najväčšieho a nepochybne najoddanejšieho britského športovca jeho generácie. No kto je v skutočnosti Steven Gerrard? Predovšetkým je to jeden z najpríťažlivejších športových vzorov. Za svoj milovaný Liverpool odohral viac než sedemsto zápasov a ďalších stoštrnásť v drese anglického národného tímu. Ako sa však stal tým, kým bol? Ako sa mu podarilo udržať tak dlho v špičke najťažšej futbalovej ligy sveta? V knihe Môj príbeh hovorí Steven Gerrard otvorene o svojej výnimočnej futbalovej kariére, o pozadí kľúčových zápasov a prináša zaujatý pohľad hráča priamo na ihrisku. Či rozpráva o ohromujúcom triumfe Liverpoolu v Lige majstrov v roku 2005, alebo o svojich výkonoch na mnohých svetových a európskych turnajoch, zakaždým nám sprostredkúva vzrušujúci zážitok z prežívania výhier – i prehier – pred zrakmi desiatok tisícov rozvášnených divákov. Nadovšetko však spoznávame neuveriteľný a zriedkavý osobný príbeh o lojalite k jednému klubu v dobrom i v zlom, nech bola cena akákoľvek. Kniha Môj príbeh je poslednou bodkou odvážneho, statočného, poctivého, no i chybujúceho futbalistu, akí sa už nerodia, je príbehom muža, ktorý si stál za svojím slovom, za svojím klubom a bol vždy sám sebou.

Zlomový okamžik v životě Vladimira Vladimiroviče Putina nastal na podzim roku 1989 v Drážďanech. Před místní rezidenturou KGB, kde mladý Putin sloužil, se shromáždil dav protestujících, kteří chtěli vzít nenáviděnou organizaci útokem. Bez vojenské podpory nemohl Putin budovu dlouho udržet. Rozhodl se tedy blafovat. Vyšel neozbrojen před bránu a prohlásil: Moji vojáci mají zbraně. Vydal jsem jim rozkazy: pokud někdo vkročí do objektu, mají zahájit palbu. Zástup protestujících se rozešel. Ve své knize Nový car: Vzestup a vláda Vladimira Putina předkládá americký investigativní novinář Steven Lee Myers barvitý obraz muže, který se z řadového agenta KGB vyšvihl až na vrchol vládní pyramidy - stal se ruským prezidentem. V důkladně rešeršovaných kapitolách rozebírá Putinovu rodinu a dětství, jeho kariérní růst i kontroverzní rozhodnutí v pozici prezidenta. Výsledkem je přesvědčivý a živý psychologický portrét člověka, jehož prvotní motivací je zachování zdání autority za každou cenu, člověka, který nedává najevo slabost, který improvizuje i chladně kalkuluje a u něhož se cílevědomost váže s výkonností a flexibilitou. O autorovi: Steven Lee Myers je americký investigativní novinář, který od roku 1989 pracuje v listu The New York Times. Od roku 2002 strávil během dvou pobytů více než sedm let jako zahraniční korespondent v Rusku a referoval o druhé čečenské válce, ukrajinské oranžové revoluci, zimní olympiádě v ruském Soči i anexi Krymu. Předtím pracoval jako novinář v New Yorku, Washingtonu a za války v Iráku také v Bagdádu. Nyní se specializuje na zahraniční záležitosti a bezpečnostní témata. Nový car: Vzestup a vláda Vladimira Putina je jeho první knihou. Citace: Nový car je strhujícím a nesmírně podrobným životopisem Vladimira Putina, v němž Myers zevrubným, až shakespearovským způsobem vysvětluje, proč Putin jedná právě tak, jak jedná. - Robert D. Kaplan, geopolitický analytik Velmi působivý portrét děsivě mocného autokrata. - Kirkus Review Nový car Stevena Leeho Myerse není prvním Putinovým životopisem, ale do dnešního data je životopisem nejsolidnějším. Uvážlivým a komplexním způsobem odhaluje pravou tvář jednoho z nejuzavřenějších světových vůdců. - Daniel Treisman, The Washington Post Myers předkládá obraz člověka, který přechází od jedné krize ke druhé s jediným cílem: aby z něj vyzařovala síla. Zasvěcený a detailní životopis. - Gal Beckerman, The New York Times Book Review V životopise Vladimira Putina Steven Lee Myers geniálně kombinuje vyprávěcí umění, psychologickou sondu i politickou analýzu. - Nina Lvovna Chruščovová, americká politoložka, pravnučka Nikity Chruščova

Audiokniha: Odblokujte svou kreativitu a vyhrajte tvůrčí bitvy Žádná jiná kniha mě na válečné stezce proti vlastním slabostem neposunula ke 100% profesionalitě tak jako Válka umění. Odhaluje nejhlubší podstatu toho, oč by měl usilovat každy´ tvůrce, umělec či profesionál.“ — Robert Vlach, autor knihy Na volné noze. Měli jste někdy v noci před spaním vizi člověka, kterým byste se mohli stát, práce, které byste mohli dosáhnout, díla, které byste chtěli vytvořit? Jste spisovatel, který nepíše, malíř, který nemaluje, nebo podnikatel, který nikdy nezaložil podnik? Potom znáte Odpor: temnou sílu, bránící kreativitě a úspěchu. Steven Pressfield vyhlásil Odporu válku a ve své přísné, strohé a zároveň zábavné knize vás naučí, jak tohoto nepřítele porazit a rozbít tak bloky, které dusí vaši tvořivost. Po poslechu Války umění o sobě mnohé pochopíte. Několik dní jí budete mít plnou hlavu, a pak možná změníte svůj život. Autorův odkaz na Umění války od Sun-c’ je naprosto na místě, neboť Pressfield považuje tvorbu a umění za boj tvůrce se sebou samy´m. Válka umění vyšla poprvé v roce 2002. Od té doby se dočkala překladů do mnoha světovy´ch jazyků a stále patří mezi nejprodávanější knihy o kreativitě. Inspirovala a stále inspiruje statisíce čtenářů z celého světa. Slovy autora: „ Většina z nás má dva životy. Ten, ktery´ žijeme, a potom nežity´ vnitřní život.” Není to škoda? Steven Pressfield (*1943) Steven Pressfield je romanopisec, scenárista i autor příruček o tvorbě a kreativitě. Narodil se na Trinidadu, po službě u americké námořní pěchoty vystudoval psychologii na Dukeově univerzitě a poté pracoval v mnoha pomocny´ch profesích. Trvalo mu dlouhy´ch 17 let, než byl schopen uživit se samotny´m psaním. A kdo jiny´ by měl o tvorbě psát než ten, kdo dokázal překonat tvůrčí bloky, nevzdal se a dosáhl úspěchu?

If anyone can save capitalism from the capitalists, it s Steven Pearlstein. This lucid, brilliant book refuses to abandon capitalism to those who believe morality and justice irrelevant to an economic system. -Ezra Klein, founder and editor-at-large, VoxPulitzer Prize-winning economics journalist Steven Pearlstein argues that our thirty year experiment in unfettered markets has undermined core values required to make capitalism and democracy work.With a New Introduction by the AuthorThirty years ago, greed is good and maximizing shareholder value became the new mantras woven into the fabric of our business culture, economy, and politics. Although, around the world, free market capitalism has lifted more than a billion people from poverty, in the United States most of the benefits of economic growth have been captured by the richest 10%, along with providing justification for squeezing workers, cheating customers, avoiding taxes, and leaving communities in the lurch. As a result, Americans are losing faith that a free market economy is the best system.In Moral Capitalism, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Steven Pearlstein chronicles our descent and challenges the theories being taught in business schools and exercised in boardrooms around the country. We re missing a key tenet of Adam Smith s wealth of nations: without trust and social capital, democratic capitalism cannot survive. Further, equality of incomes and opportunity need not come at the expense of economic growth.Pearlstein lays out bold steps we can take as a country: a guaranteed minimum income paired with universal national service, tax incentives for companies to share profits with workers, ending class segregation in public education, and restoring competition to markets. He provides a path forward that will create the shared prosperity that will sustain capitalism over the long term.Previously published as Can American Capitalism Survive?

A fascinating and incisive examination of our language instinct from award-winning science writer Steven Mithen.Along with the concepts of consciousness and intelligence, our capacity for language sits right at the core of what makes us human. But while the evolutionary origins of language have provoked speculation and impassioned debate, music has been neglected if not ignored. Like language it is a universal feature of human culture, one that is a permanent fixture in our daily lives.In THE SINGING NEANDERTHALS, Steven Mithen redresses the balance, drawing on a huge range of sources, from neurological case studies through child psychology and the communication systems of non-human primates to the latest paleoarchaeological evidence.The result is a fascinating and provocative work and a succinct riposte to those, like Steven Pinker, who have dismissed music as a functionless and unimportant evolutionary byproduct.

I believe this book will change the conversation in schools on children s behaviour. - Dr Luna CentifantiA School Without Sanctions offers an innovative approach to behaviour management in schools, prioritising compassion and behaviour modification over punishment. Drawing on their award-winning methods, Steven Baker and Mick Simpson explain why challenging behaviour occurs and provide a toolbox of non-confrontational approaches that will benefit the whole school community.When Steven and Mick set out to transform their school s approach to behaviour, it changed everything. With the help of Dr Alice Jones Bartoli at Goldsmiths, they developed a sanction-free approach in their special school for boys with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) difficulties. Far from descending into anarchy, lessons began to improve and studentâ “staff relationships flourished. The school is now rated outstanding in all areas, and more importantly, student outcomes have been remarkable.Steven and Mick apply this experience, as well as their work in pupil referral units and young offender institutions, to explore their strategies for managing behaviour without the need for zero tolerance, discussing exclusions, trauma, motivation and engagement along the way. Rooted in neuroscience and evolutionary psychology, this book will revolutionise the way you think about behaviour management, help boost student mental health and academic achievement, and protect teacher wellbeing.

He⠙s back! In this second instalment of Steven Froelich⠙s Latin American odyssey, the Man Without a Plan lands in Belize, a country he knows nothing about. But Froelich has a talent for making himself at home wherever he is, amassing an impressive array of new friends in a short time ⠓ some of whom can even match his penchant for being in a near-constant buzz from industrial-quantity drugs and drink.As ever, the cock-a-hoop characters Steven ingratiates himself with become his surrogate dysfunctional family. But Tracey, Devonais, Ask Bobby!, Valentino and a pack of feral kids led by the gleefully destructive Molokai soon have Steven wondering whether or not his cheerfully transactional relationships are, in fact, binding him ever more tightly in a web of scams that threatens to leave him broke and stranded in this shabby paradise. Is his paranoia justifiable, or is that just the continuous cocaine use? His response is to agree to renting an SUV and embarking all together on a road trip along the coast, taking in shantytowns, fine hotels, beaches and, at a low ebb, jail. Why do ⠘mechanics⠙ keep appearing every time the truck mysteriously fails? Why are his credit cards failing just as frequently? Who⠙s zoomin⠙ who?Coarse, irresponsible and wilfully ignorant, Froelich is nevertheless observant and caring at heart ⠓ and Belize is about the ways in which chaotic, complex human beings find community, no matter where they⠙re from or where they⠙re headed.Features twelve full-colour illustrations by Froelich⠙s collaborator Oscar Zárate.
