Wages for Housework - Emily Callaci
What would women do with their lives if they had more time?The riveting, untold story of a revolutionary campaign to change the way work is valued''The women of the world are serving notice. We want wages for every dirty toilet, every indecent assault, every painful childbirth, every cup of coffee and every smile. And if we don’t get what we want, we will simply refuse to work any longer!'' Across the globe in the 1970s, a network of feminists distilled their struggles into a single demand: Wages for Housework! Today, it remains a provocative idea, and an unfulfilled promise. Here historian Emily Callaci tells the story of this campaign by exploring the lives and ideas of its key creators, tracing their wildly creative political vision over the past five decades: from the early 1970s, when Selma James, a working-class political organizer, and Mariarosa Dalla Costa, a scholar-activist, started laying the foundations of Wages for Housework in London and Italy; through philosopher Silvia Federici reframing the campaign in the context of New York City’s fiscal crisis; to Wilmette Brown, lesbian poet and anti-war activist, and Margaret Prescod, community organizer, who brought the insights of Black feminism to the movement. Drawing on new archival research and extensive interviews, Callaci takes us deep inside the heart of the movement as it reached across Europe, America, Africa and the Caribbean. For these women, the wage was more than a demand for money: it was a starting point for remaking the world as we know it, imagining potential futures under capitalism – and beyond. Then as now, Wages for Housework poses profound questions. What would it be like to live in a society that prioritizes care rather than production? How would this change our relationship with the natural world? And what would women do with their lives if they had more time?

The Seven Rules of Trust - Jimmy Wales
‘Fascinating ... Should be required reading everywhere’ STEPHEN FRYTrust: like water, like electricity, our society can’t function without it. It’s a treasure, a living thing that can be cultivated and grown. But it can also wither and die, and it is increasingly under threat.From neighbourhoods to nations, we must get serious about trust and act before this precious resource runs out entirely.When Jimmy Wales founded Wikipedia more than two decades ago, he changed the landscape of knowledge forever – although almost no one realised it at the time. Today, people view Wikipedia 11 billion times every month in the English language alone. But in our ‘post-truth’ era, where the internet is a sea of disinformation and facts are increasingly malleable, Wales reminds us that it’s more important than ever to return to the problem at the heart of it all: that without trust, we have no knowledge. And without knowledge, we can’t fight back.Derived from decades of observation, participation and discussion with leaders across the world, these are his clear, actionable rules for building trust in business, leadership and life. The Seven Rules of Trust reveals the fundamental principles that transformed a website which was once regarded as a highly dubious source of information to a universally trusted source for facts.This book will help you become a trust-maker. To build deeper connections with others so you can be a better neighbour, a more understanding friend, even someone who can turn back the tide and inspire others to follow you. If you want to strengthen your relationships or simply bring more happiness and fulfilment into your life, then this is where to start.***‘An important book ... Both hopeful and practical’ YUVAL NOAH HARARI‘Where trust has been lost, Jimmy Wales offers routes to its rediscovery’ ALASTAIR CAMPBELL‘Thank you to Jimmy Wales for founding Wikipedia and now, for the first time, telling us how he did it!’ SIMON SINEK‘A powerful, essential book that cuts to the heart of how technology can benefit humanity’ REID HOFFMAN

Equity in education: Levelling the playing field of learning - a practical guide for teachers - Emily Briant, Lee Elliot Major
''Comprehensive and groundbreaking.'' Dylan WiliamEquity in Education sets out a new equity-based approach in education to help teachers improve the prospects of under-resourced and working-class pupils.The equity approach recognises that we must address our own cultural biases and barriers within the classroom, while helping to remove extra barriers to learning experienced by children outside schools. Based on thousands of research studies and years of working with expert teachers, the book sets out the principles and practical strategies for trainee teachers, teachers and teacher leaders.Adopting an equity mindset involves four key principles:· equity not equality - doing more to overcome the extra barriers some learners experience· capacity not deficit thinking - recognising the talents in all pupils· deep not shallow relationships - developing authentic individual relationships with pupils· multiple not singular talents - acknowledging that human talents come in many forms.Equity in Education also advocates the national policies that would enable teachers to prioritise an equitable approach and reduce divides between the education haves and have-nots.

Take the Slow Road: England and Wales - Martin Dorey
Forget hurrying. Forget putting your foot down and racing through sweeping bends. Forget the understeer (whatever that is). Forget the blur of a life lived too fast.This is a look at taking life slowly. It’s about taking the time to enjoy journeys and places for their own sake. It’s about stopping and putting the kettle on. Stopping to take a picture. Stopping to enjoy stopping. How are you going to do it? In a camper van or a motorhome, of course. In this book we define the best driving routes around England and Wales for camper vans and motorhomes. We show you the coolest places to stay, what to see, what to do and explain why it’s special. We meander around England and Wales on the most breathtaking roads, chugging up mountain passes and pootling along the coast. We show you stuff that’s fun, often free. We include the best drives for different kinds of drivers; for surfers, wildlife watchers, climbers and walkers. We include the steepest, the bendiest, those with the most interesting bridges or views or obstacles, ferries and tidal causeways. And you don’t even have to own a camper van or motorhome – we’ll tell you the many places you can rent one to take you on the journey. All of this is interspersed with beautiful photos, handy maps and quirky travel writing from the king of camper vans and motorhomes, Martin Dorey. So if all you want to do is flick through it on a cold day and plan your next outing, you’ll be transported (albeit slowly) to pastures, beaches, mountains and highways that make you want to turn the key and go, go, go!

Ancient Wisdom for Polarized Times - Emily Katz Anhalt
How the wisdom of Herodotus can fortify us against political falsehoods and violent extremism  Nearly 2,500 years ago, the Greek writer Herodotus introduced the concept of objective truth derived from factual investigation and empirical deduction. Writing just before the start of the catastrophic Peloponnesian War (431–404 BCE), Herodotus addressed an increasingly polarized Greek world. His Histories demonstrates that the capacity for humane moral action depends on the ability to resist unthinking allegiance to authoritative fictions. Herodotus offers an indispensable, nonpartisan approach for countering poisonous ideologies and violent conflict emanating from all extremes of the political kaleidoscope.  Interpreting some of Herodotus’s most compelling stories, Emily Katz Anhalt illuminates this ancient writer’s vital insights concerning sexual violence, deception, foreign ways, political equality, and more. The Histories urges us to value reality, restrain destructive passions, and acknowledge the essential humanity of every human being—crucial guidance for navigating our own divisive and volatile political climate. Inviting us to take responsibility for our own choices and their consequences, Herodotus exposes autocratic leadership and abuses of power as self-defeating. Herodotus guides readers in assembling and assessing information, distinguishing fact from fiction, and making compassionate moral evaluations. The ancient Greeks never achieved an egalitarian, just society. Herodotus equips us to do better.

Emily of New Moon - Lucy Maud Montgomeryová
FROM THE BELOVED AUTHOR OF ANNE OF GREEN GABLESDiscover L. M. Montgomery''s own favourite character in the Emily of New Moon trilogy. It features a spirited heroine who will beguile readers of all ages. Emily''s story is heart-rending, magical and completely unforgettable. Emily Starr has never known what it is to be unloved. But when her father dies, she is left in the care of her mother''s family. Emily is a stranger to the proud Murrays, none of whom think they can cope with such a heartbroken, headstrong girl. They decide to draw lots for her, and Emily is sent to live at New Moon with stern Aunt Elizabeth, the head of the clan. Kind Aunt Laura and friendly, eccentric Cousin Jimmy also live at New Moon, though, so she is not without hope.Emily is enchanted by New Moon, but cannot believe she will ever belong there. With her lively imagination and dreams of being a famous writer, she seems to have a talent for scandalising her family. Before long, though, she has made firm friends: Ilse, a tomboy with a blazing temper, Teddy, an aspiring artist, and Perry, the ambitious houseboy. She brings so much life to New Moon, perhaps one day even Aunt Elizabeth will consider herself lucky to have ''won'' Emily.Emily''s story continues in: Emily Climbs and Emily''s Quest, both available from Virago Modern Classics

Kamarádi, které si tam získala, ale odcházejí studovat do Shrewsbury a staromódní upjatá teta Alžběta je ochotna Emily dovolit studium pouze pod podmínkou, že psaní zanechá.Ve Shrewsbury Emily zdolává svůj první stupínek na cestě za úspěchem. S přáteli – rozenou herečkou Ilsou, budoucím malířem Teddym a uličnickým Perrym, potenciálním právníkem – svými kousky často rozvíří místní stojaté vody, což jejich senzacechtivé okolí nemůže nechat bez povšimnutí.Dalším krokem po pomyslné alpské stezce k úspěchu je pro Emily otištění jejích prvních příspěvků v místních časopisech. Nedlouho po něm přichází nabídka obrovské šance a Emily stojí před rozhodnutím, jestli navždy změní svůj život… A mezitím...

Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales - Heather Fawcettová
The third instalment in the enchanting light academia Emily Wilde books, about a curmudgeonly scholar of folklore and the fae prince she loves, from Sunday Times bestselling author Heather Fawcett. Emily Wilde has spent her life studying faeries. A renowned dryadologist, she has documented hundreds of species of Folk in her Encyclopaedia of Faeries.Now she is about to embark on her most dangerous academic project yet: studying the inner workings of a faerie realm-as its queen. Along with her former academic rival-now fiancé-the dashing and mercurial Wendell Bambleby, Emily is immediately thrust into the deadly intrigues of Faerie as the two of them seize the throne of Wendell's long-lost kingdom, which Emily finds a beautiful nightmare, filled with scholarly treasures. Emily has been obsessed with faerie stories her entire life, but at first she feels as ill-suited to Faerie as she did to the mortal world-how could an unassuming scholar like herself pass for a queen? Yet there is little time to settle in-Wendell's murderous stepmother has placed a deadly curse upon the land before vanishing without a trace.It will take all of Wendell's magic-and Emily's knowledge of stories-to unravel the mystery before they lose everything they hold dear.
