In this visionary book, written by six internationally recognized
Global Teacher Prize finalists, the authors create a positive and
hope-filled template for the future of education. They address the
hard moral, ethical and pedagogical questions facing education
today so that progress can serve society, rather than destroying it
from within our classrooms. This blueprint for education finally
brings forward what has always been missing in education reform: a
strong collective narrative with authentic examples from teachers
on the front line. It is a holistic, personalized approach to
education that harnesses the disruptions of the Fourth Industrial
Revolution to better shape the future for the next generation, and
ensure that every child can benefit from the ongoing
transformations. A great read for anyone who has an interest in
educating our youth for these uncertain times, highlighting why
teachers will always matter.

The Bell Beaker phenomenon is one of the most fascinating horizons
in European Later Prehistory, due to its vast geographical
distribution, the intrinsic value of some of the artefacts
comprising the Beaker package, or its supposed links to certain
kinds of ritual ceremonies as shown by the frequent deposition of
Beaker items in burial contexts. At present, the idea that the
Beaker package is best interpreted as a symbol of power common to
socially-prominent individuals by the mid-to-late third millennium
BC is widely acknowledged by scholars in this field. From this
point of view, the Beaker phenomenon is seen as the archaeological
evidence representing an ideology which was shared by a number of
prehistoric societies geographically scattered throughout much of
Western and Central Europe, or, more specifically, was only shared
by elite individuals within these territories. The strategies
employed by these individuals to attain such privileged statuses,
however, are poorly known. Therefore, in the framework of the XVII
World UISPP Congress, held in September 2014 in Burgos (Spain), a
session entitled 'Analysis of the economic foundations supporting
the social supremacy of the Beaker groups' (B36) was organised by
this volume's two editors. The session focused mostly on examining
this issue at a European level, and less on the study of the Beaker
package itself, as a way of looking at the economic foundations
that helped these individuals attain their higher social statuses.
The proximity of Beaker sites to natural routes of communication
highlights the importance of exchange networks through which
people, objects and ideas may have circulated through Europe during
this time. The Amesbury Archer in southern England is one of the
best examples of interaction within Beaker territories. Having said
this, considering that Beaker pots themselves were not exchanged
over long distances, attention must be paid to other mechanisms of
diffusion. The present volume comprises the papers presented at
this session suggesting that Beaker groups may have controlled
certain products and technologies.
