National Geographic Kids Breaking Through How Female Athletes Shattered
Book SynopsisAward-winning author Sue Macy offers a fresh and timely account of women in sports in the 1920s, and how their determination, talent, and defiance in the face of criticism promoted women's rights, redefined femininity, and changed the course of history.Macy offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into the journey of women's rights through the lens of women in sports during the pivotal decade of the 1920s.

I did the Opportunity and Inequality in America (1920-1973) module and found it really interesting. However, I found that my school's resources didn't give me the detail I felt that I needed to get a high grade. This book was my holy grail. There's plenty of detail, but not too much to overwhelm the reader and the photos and diagrams really helped. I felt really confident during the exam thanks to this book and from getting grade 5s in mock exams I came out with a grade 9 in the real thing! -- Amazon reviewerWhen I received my copy of Understanding the Modern World I was pleased to see that the headings are clear, the layout of the pages is effective and the content is summarised in a manner which will be accessible to students.I like the number of supporting visuals throughout the book, particularly the maps and infographics that complement the written information. I also like the Focus Tasks and Think boxes which will be nice activities for students to complete in lessons or at home.I'm pleased to see examples of practice questions supporting the text and the Assessment Focus sections at the end of the chapters are fantastic.

Cambridge University Press Learning to Make a Difference
Book SynopsisToday, more people want to know how to make a meaningful difference to what they care about. But for that, traditional approaches to learning often fall short. In this book, we offer a theoretical and practical way forward. We introduce the concept of social learning spaces for developing both new capabilities and a sense of agency. We provide a rich framework for focusing on the value of social learning spaces: how to generate this value, monitor it, and learn iteratively through the process. The book is a useful extension and refinement of ''communities of practice'' for those familiar with the theory. For those who are not, the chapters will lay out a new way to approach learning. This volume is written to serve the needs of readers across fields, including researchers, educators, and leaders in business, government, healthcare, and international development.Trade Review'This book is written by two authors, whom I regard as the internationally most competent specialists in the field of adults' learning for professional practice!' Knud Illeris, author of How We Learn and editor of Contemporary Theories of Learning'Whether you are a teacher looking for new ideas or a social justice activist facilitating lifelong learning, this book provides the theory, and more importantly, the practice of social learning. With examples, footnotes, and reflection summaries, the concept of social learning is made accessible to all.'
