Growing a Growth Mindset: Unlocking Character Strengths through
Children's Literature provides teachers with an innovative approach
to teaching children the positive psychology constructs that
underlie self-belief, goal motivation, and happiness. Through
selected children's books, the book brings to life the latest
research and strategies for developing growth mindset, hope, grit,
character strengths, and happiness. Each of these positive
psychology constructs is explored through a set of three picture
book classics that makes the research understandable to even the
youngest learner. The National Council for Social Studies inquiry
approach drives each book-driven analysis of the selected stories.
This inquiry-based approach is organized around a compelling
question and provides a complete outline, including formative and
summative questions and assessments, as well as extensions that
share this vital learning with parents. Lessons in this book have
been created by outstanding teachers and have been field tested in
classrooms across the region with extraordinary results.

The Bell Beaker Culture in All its Forms contains the proceedings
of the 22nd meeting of the 'Archeologie et Gobelets' Association
which took place in Geneva, Switzerland in January 2021. The book
is structured in three parts: Archaeological Material demonstrates
how ceramics, lithics, wrist guards, and metal artifacts contribute
to our understanding of the Bell Beaker Culture. Funerary
Archaeology and Anthropology considers how the particular context
of death and the human skeleton can be employed to gain information
on Bell Beaker populations. The final section, Reconstructing Bell
Beaker Society, builds upon archaeological evidence to discuss site
interpretations as well as the wide-reaching topics of ritual,
culture, and symbolism. With the publication of these proceedings,
it is hoped that the conference interactions can facilitate future
research and discussions on Bell Beaker societies and their roles
within Neolithic Europe and beyond.

Practice and Prestige: An Exploration of Neolithic Warfare, Bell
Beaker Archery, and Social Stratification from an Anthropological
Perspective investigates the appearance of the 'archer's package'
in select Bell Beaker burials raising questions of daily life,
warfare, and social stratification during the Neolithic period. It
draws on a recent study by the author that applied an
anthropological methodology to assess the bone morphology of these
skeletons for signs of specialised archery activity. These analyses
revealed results at both a population as well as an individual
level. In order to contextualise these osteological findings, the
book explores the evidence for warfare and archery throughout the
Neolithic period in general and the Bell Beaker period in
particular. This perspective considers warfare to be a primary
function of archery, thereby associating 'archer' burials with
concepts of warfare and the warrior. A second perspective delves
into prehistoric concepts of specialisation and social hierarchy in
order to situate archers, archery, and warfare within potentially
stratified populations. These two perspectives allow for the
contextualisation of the anthropological results within a broad
archaeological framework in which archers and archery were
prominent parts of a complex Bell Beaker society.
