An Introduction to Modern European Philosophy, contains scholarly
but accessible essays by nine British academics on Hegel,
Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Marx, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger,
Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Maritain, Hannah Arendt, Habermas,
Foucault, and the 'Events' of 1968. Written for English-speaking
readers, it describes the varied traditions within 19th- and
20th-century European philosophy, reflecting the dynamism and
plurality within the European tradition and presenting opposing
points of view. It deals with both French and German philosophers,
plus Kierkegaard, and is not confined to any one school of thought.
It has been purged of jargon but contains a glossary of important
technical terms. There is a bibliography of further reading and
website information at the end of each chapter.
Fifty percent of new teachers leave the profession within the first
five years. Of those who stay, most go through periods of burnout.
Teachers everywhere start with high hopes of making a difference,
but quickly get consumed with all of the unexpected demands,
leaving them exhausted and wondering if this whole teaching thing
was a good idea. While there are many books focused on curriculum
and teaching techniques, Teacher's Field Guide takes a unique
approach by addressing the real-life needs of the teacher who is
often left behind and rarely discussed by other books in the
marketplace. Teacher's Field Guide is all about that "other stuff".
It offers tips, tools, and strategies to lessen the stress, and
increase the joy in teaching. It supports each teacher in seven
important areas of their personal and professional lives: Mindset
Management Classroom Management Workload Management People
Management Stress Management Self Management Big Picture Management
Teachers will discover answers to questions such as: How can I
really make a difference when it's so stressful? What is the
simplest and easiest classroom management plan that really works?
How do I have a life outside of school when the workload never
ends? What is the secret to having great relationships with
students, parents, administrators, and colleagues? What's the deal
with burnout? How do I know if I have it, and what should I do if
it's there? Teachers matter, and teachers deserve to be supported
and encouraged while they lead our future generations. Teacher's
Field Guide is the personal support teachers everywhere have
needed, and guarantees to help reverse the trend that 50% of new
teachers quit within their first five years.port teachers

In 2015, the New Democratic Party won an unprecedented victory in
Alberta. Unseating the Progressive Conservatives-who had won every
provincial election since 1971-they formed an NDP government for
the first time in the history of the province. Orange Chinook is
the first scholarly analysis of this election. It examines the
legacy of the Progressive Conservative dynasty, the PC and NDP
campaigns, polling, and online politics, providing context and
setting the stage. It highlights the importance of Alberta's energy
sector and how it relates to provincial politics with focus on the
oil sands, the carbon tax, and pipelines. Examining the NDP in
power, Orange Chinook draws on Indigenous, urban, and rural
perspectives to explore the transition process and government
finances and politics. It explores the governing style of premier
Rachel Notley, paying special attention to her response to the 2016
For McMurray wildfire and to the role of women in politics. Orange
Chinook brings together Alberta's top political watchers in this
fascinating, multifaceted analysis.

The phrase Harlem in the 1920s evokes images of the Harlem
Renaissance, or of Marcus Garvey and soapbox orators haranguing
crowds about politics and race. Yet the most ubiquitous feature of
Harlem life between the world wars was the game of numbers.
Thousands of wagers, usually of a dime or less, would be placed on
a daily number derived from U.S. bank statistics. The rewards of
hitting the number, a 600-to-1 payoff, tempted the ordinary men and
women of the Black Metropolis with the chimera of the good life.
"Playing the Numbers" tells the story of this illegal form of
gambling and the central role it played in the lives of African
Americans who flooded into Harlem in the wake of World War I.
For a dozen years the numbers game was one of America s rare
black-owned businesses, turning over tens of millions of dollars
every year. The most successful bankers were known as Black Kings
and Queens, and they lived royally. Yet the very success of bankers
like Stephanie St. Clair and Casper Holstein attracted Dutch
Schultz, Lucky Luciano, and organized crime to the game. By the
late 1930s, most of the profits were being siphoned out of
Harlem.
"Playing the Numbers" reveals a unique dimension of African
American culture that made not only Harlem but New York City itself
the vibrant and energizing metropolis it was. An interactive
website allows readers to locate actors and events on Harlem s
streets.
Co-management boards, established under comprehensive land claims
agreements, have become key players in land-use planning, wildlife
management, and environmental regulation across Canada's North.
This book provides a detailed account of the operation and
effectiveness of these boards while addressing a central question:
Have they been successful in ensuring substantial Indigenous
involvement in policies affecting the land and wildlife in their
traditional territories? While identifying constraints on the role
Northern Indigenous peoples play in board processes, Graham White
finds that overall they exercise extensive decision-making
influence. These findings are provocative and offer valuable
insights into our understanding of the importance of land claims
boards and the role they play in the evolution of treaty federalism
in Canada.
These are the highly evocative wartime memoirs of a young NCO pilot
who's operational experience was with Beaufighters and Mosquitoes
flying in the long-range night-fighter role. It is not a gung-ho
account of daring-do, but a 'warts and all' story of what life was
really like in that time of international crisis. No punches are
pulled when the author experienced badly designed and dangerous
aircraft, such as the Merlin-engined Beaufighter that was almost
impossible to fly and killed many pilots during training, nor are
the blinding errors made by those staff officers who conceived
impossible tasks and operations which these young airmen were
ordered to fly and survive. Threaded into a fascinating story of
flying with the then leading-edge electronic technology, are the
entirely human tales of nights out on the town, when stressed crews
could relieve the stress of combat. Some hilarious accounts of wild
nights on the ground blend comfortably with the dark skies over
Europe and the endless search for the invisible Luftwaffe who were
tasked with the destruction of Allied heavy bombers.
