Vintage Publishing Black Athena
Book SynopsisClassical civilisation, Martin Bernal argues, has deep roots in Afro-Asiatic cultures. But these Afro-Asiatic influences have been systematically ignored, denied, or suppressed since the eighteenth century - chiefly for racist reasons. The popular view is that Greek civilisation was the result of the conquest of a sophisticated but weak native population by vigorous Indo-European speakers--or Aryans--from the North. But the Classical Greeks, Bernal argues, knew nothing of this Aryan model. They did not see their political institutions, science, philosophy, or religion as original, but rather as derived from the East in general, and Egypt in particular. Black Athena is a three-volume work. Volume 1 concentrates on the crucial period between 1785 and 1850, which saw the Romantic and racist reaction to the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, and the consolidation of Northern expansion into other continents.In an unprecedented tour de force, Bernal maTrade ReviewHis account is as gripping a tale of scholarly detection and discovery as one could hope to find -- Margaret Drabble * Observer *Bernal makes an exotic interloper in Classical studies. He comes to them with two outstanding gifts: a remarkable flair for the sociology – perhaps one should say politics – of knowledge, and a formidable linguistic proficiency… The ‘fabrication’ of Ancient Greece…will never pass as a natural identity again * Guardian *The value of the book lies in his massive and meticulous demonstration of how scholarly views of the past are moulded (and repeatedly modified) by the changing political environment in which scholars pass their lives... Black Athena is certainly a stimulus to thought * London Review of Books *Has the virtues of force, clarity, wealth of ideas and a voracious intellectual curiosity * Times Higher Educational Supplement *A swashbuckling foray into the very heart of racist, Eurocentric historiography... Already one can hear the knives being sharpened against Bernal * City Limits *

Rudolf Steiner Press Understanding Children's Drawings: Tracing the
Book SynopsisIt is not uncommon for children's drawings to end up in the wastepaper basket. Yet these early artistic expressions indicate how children communicate with their environment. From the first scratches and scribbles to the detailed sketches of houses and people, the drawings and paintings of our young ones are significant manifestations of inner processes, containing important statements about their development and gradual incarnation into a physical body. Michaela Strauss's classic work is a pioneer study that can strengthen observation, understanding and love for the being of the child, both in the home and the kindergarten. First issued in 1978, it is republished here with revisions, improved reproductions, a larger format and more than 40 pages of colour illustrations. 'In its drawings, the child describes for us different conditions of consciousness, which are parallel with those of cultural epochs.' - Michaela Strauss

Crown House Publishing Activate: A professional learning resource to
Book SynopsisCreated by James Mannion, Louise Stoll, Karen Spence-Thomas and Greg Ross,Activateis a card-based professional learning resource that aims to improve pupils' experiences and outcomes by promoting self-regulated learning among leaders, teachers and pupils.Trade ReviewThis resource is a major step towards a psychologically literate education: one that understands what goes on in learners' minds, what personal beliefs and classroom practices get in the way of their learning, and what smart mind hacks can unleash and augment their learning power. These teaching methods will turn out learners who get better results, but, more than that, they will be better prepared for a long learning life. Exceptionally clearly written and presented, based in robust cognitive science, Activate is really, really, really, really useful and practical. Use the materials, follow what it says on the tin, and a 21st century school worthy of the name can be yours for the asking.Guy ClaxtonWhat a wonderful and timely resource this is! Around the world, there is growing interest in, and understanding of, the importance of agency in powering up our young people's learning. This unique resource makes such an important contribution to global efforts to educate young people in a way that not only enhances their agency at school but builds the capacity to participate successfully in a life of learning beyond school. The cards offer so many possibilities for rich, transformative conversations! This practical resource will help make the sometimes daunting concepts of self-regulation, metacognition and self-efficacy better understood by educators and equip them with some really effective strategies for engaging with students and colleagues alike. I can't wait to use Activate in my own work in schools.Kath MurdochHere's a resource which imaginative and committed school and college leaders will grab as a way of improving the quality of what goes on among teachers and pupils in classrooms, departments and more widely. After all, metacognition and self-regulated learning represent the El Dorado of educators - to be able to identify accurately for yourself where you need to improve and have sufficient control of your behaviour and environment to do it would be the ideal outcome for us all - and a huge benefit to a heathy society if it could be done at scale. This resource could help. Every school and college needs a copy, but they will also need leaders who commit to its thoughtful implementation. It's particularly suited to a multi-academy trust since they will have the resource to enable hands-on coaching, which will be the ideal way of making sure it isn't one of those many good ideas which founder for lack of commitment from leaders.Tim BrighouseHere's a resource which will help teachers think again about their own classroom practice. Cleverly structured, it guides teachers through consideration of how they could refine and transform their approach, in doing so solving some of those long-standing challenges and improving outcomes for pupils ... all in dialogue with colleagues. Brilliant professional learning in action!Mick WatersI love Activate! It combines powerful research with practical activities. This is a wonderful set of resources from which anyone facilitating professional learning can draw. The cards simplify, clarify and deepen understanding, building community and confidence in the process as they demystify self-regulation and metacognition.Bill LucasA modern education should cultivate learners who are able to learn on their own - in school and throughout their lives. Yet it's one thing to espouse the goal of self-directed learning and another to provide the means of achieving this goal. Activate does this by offering a comprehensive approach to teaching and reinforcing the cognitive, metacognitive and dispositional skills needed for independent learning. While its recommended practices are grounded in research, Activate brings theory to life through a comprehensive set of practical tools in the form of strategy cards that serve both teachers and learners. I recommend this resource to educators and parents who seek to develop self-directed learners.Jay McTighe
