The book takes 45 chart toppers and writes their story. Themusic, the lyrics, the artists, producers and writers are all discussed, aswell as any side or back stories to do with the single. For example, when andhow ⠜Release Me⠝ by Engelbert Humperdinck kept ⠜Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields⠝by The Beatles off the top spot in 1967, is discussed in Chapter 4. Anotherexample of a ⠜you could not make it up⠝ back story might be the that the writerof ⠜Grandad⠝, by Clive Dunn from 1971and a light novelty No. 1 song, was alsothe bass player on Lou Reed⠙s hit single ⠜Walk On The Wildside⠝ a heavy weightdose of art rock with dubious lyrics, which came out in November 1972. Perhapsyou could not get too more contrasting songs for Herbie Flowers to be involvedin.   I picked 45 singles, as that was the rpm speed of a typical7 inches vinyl single in the 1960s. With regard to time span I took one No. 1single per year between 1964 and 2006, that would be 43 songs and I added intwo bonus tracks to make 45. This was when Top Of The Pops was running on BBCTV and seemed an appropriated year span for the book. I wanted to mix up the No.1 singles, not just to get thebest selling or most popular song of a particular year. I chose pop songs,novelty songs, children⠙s songs and all time classics to have a range of mixedup No. 1s. This is hopefully a particular unique selling point of the book,where I compare and contrast the mixed up No. 1s and try to explain just how,for example, ⠜Mr Blobby⠝ by Mr Blobby would be an unlikely No.1 in 1993, whilean all time classic, ⠜Love Is All Around⠝ from Wet Wet Wet could be an obviousNo. 1 in 1994. Just how is it that these two songs could both be chart toppersin the same chart? It is certainly a bit weird and this is something I try toexplain in the book.  I have taken as the book title the 1968 chart topper, whichI write about in Chapter 5. ⠜The Good, The Bad and the Ugly⠝ is indicative ofthe mixed up ⠜good, bad or ugly⠝ range of the 45 songs, which I pick. I neverspecifically say which song is in which category. That is for the reader todecide. I also do not want to be rude about any song. If it got to No.1 itcertainly deserves respect.  In the Book End: Outro I do a ⠜Top of the Pops⠝ No.45 to No. 1 countdown as a worst to best list of my chosen songs, which should promotesome debate and perhaps even disagreement. With that in mind despite his bestattempt at coercion and bribery towards me, you will be pleased to know (orperhaps saddened!) that Mr Blobby is not my overall No.1 But what is, well⠦Readon and enjoy the book!

Lévi-Strauss held that the real, the symbolic and the imaginary are three separate orders. Maurice Godelier demonstrates the contrary: the real is not separate from the symbolic and the imaginary. Godelier’s book goes to the strategic heart of the social sciences, for to examine the nature and role of the imaginary and the symbolic is also to attempt to account for the basic components of all societies and ultimately of human existence. And these aspects in turn shape our social and personal identity.

Release any concerns that you have about this path you re about to walk on, and just go into it with the curiosity of a child, knowing that you ll come out on the other side as a new person, or to be more accurate, far more of the person who you truly are and have been created to be. Jack Valentine seemed to have it all. He made good money as an adman, and looked good doing it. He had a hot apartment, cool friends, even a slick car-at least until the hectic Monday morning a truck smashed into it, sending the critically injured Jack to the hospital.Everything happens for a reason, though, and Jack s reason reveals itself in the silver-haired cancer patient who becomes his roommate one evening. The elderly man, Cal, shares his life story-one not dissimilar to Jack s-of material wealth masking a gaping hole within. Cal ultimately found salvation through philosophy ( the love of wisdom ), and now offers to help Jack by prepping the younger man for the Final Questions we all must face: Have I lived wisely? Have I loved well? Have I served greatly?Presenting Jack with three plane tickets, each accompanied by a map marked with a red X, Cal sends Jack to meet with three great teachers, each of whom will help Jack answer one of the Final Questions-just as they once helped Cal. First, in Rome, Jack will meet the Saint. Then a haunted beach in Hawaii introduces him to the Surfer. And finally the grandeur of New York City sets the stage for his last encounter: with the CEO. Along the way, Jack will learn to do his interior work, discover that our negative traits offer gateways to higher versions of ourselves, and understand that figuring things out in your head can distract you from the powerful whispers of your heart. Join Jack on his journey and step into the you that you were always meant to be.

For the last eight years, James and Kate have been working together to design, implement and evaluate a whole-school, evidence-informed approach to teaching and learning known as Learning Skills. An eight-year study with the University of Cambridge revealed that Learning Skills led to significant gains in subject learning, with rapid gains among students from disadvantaged backgrounds. In this practical guide for teachers and school leaders, James and Kate reveal a recipe for success rooted in three key concepts: metacognition (reflecting on learning); self-regulation (taking ownership over the learning process); and oracy (developing high-quality speaking and listening skills). This is a book about what happened when a small team of teachers seized an opportunity to provide their students with the knowledge, the skills and the confidence to take control of their own learning. This journey began with a question: how and what would we teach, if there was no one watching? On the other side of fear is the teacher you want to be, and the children you d like to teach...
