Arithmetic Ninja for Ages 10-11 is the essential photocopiable
maths resource for every Year 6 classroom from Andrew Jennings, the
creator of Vocabulary Ninja, Comprehension Ninja and Write Like a
Ninja. Split into 38 weeks, this book features over 680 question
cards and is fully aligned to the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum
for mathematics. With activities for each day of the week plus a
bonus challenge, this book is the perfect resource for daily maths
practice and quick lesson starters. The exercises in this book get
progressively harder each week, and are divided into three Ninja
levels to ensure differentiation. There are answers at the back to
help with marking and cutting lines on each page so the activities
can easily be cut out and stuck in exercise books. Perfect for SATs
preparation, the multiplication tables check and mental maths
practice, this book is ideal for busy primary teachers who only
want to visit the photocopier once a week. The resources are
flexible and high-quality, and will ensure all pupils are maths
Ninjas by the end of the year. For more must-have Ninja books by

How to sustain an international system of cooperation in the midst
of geopolitical struggle Can the international economic and legal
system survive today's fractured geopolitics? Democracies are
facing a drawn-out contest with authoritarian states that is
entangling much of public policy with global security issues. In
Global Discord, Paul Tucker lays out principles for a sustainable
system of international cooperation, showing how democracies can
deal with China and other illiberal states without sacrificing
their deepest political values. Drawing on three decades as a
central banker and regulator, Tucker applies these principles to
the international monetary order, including the role of the U.S.
dollar, trade and investment regimes, and the financial system.
Combining history, economics, and political and legal philosophy,
Tucker offers a new account of international relations. Rejecting
intellectual traditions that go back to Hobbes, Kant, and Grotius,
and deploying instead ideas from David Hume, Bernard Williams, and
modern mechanism-design economists, Tucker describes a new kind of
political realism that emphasizes power and interests without
sidelining morality. Incentives must be aligned with values if
institutions are to endure. The connecting tissue for a system of
international cooperation, he writes, should be legitimacy,
creating a world of concentric circles in which we cooperate more
with those with whom we share the most and whom we fear the least.

1983. Tournament tennis. A racquet stringer turned small-time drug
dealer gets in over his head transporting a gym bag of cocaine
across Europe. Carrying a half-million in narcotics puts him on the
radar of every dangerous man on the continent. Whoops.
Guiding principles for ensuring that central bankers and other
unelected policymakers remain stewards of the common good Central
bankers have emerged from the financial crisis as the third great
pillar of unelected power alongside the judiciary and the military.
They pull the regulatory and financial levers of our economic
well-being, yet unlike democratically elected leaders, their power
does not come directly from the people. Unelected Power lays out
the principles needed to ensure that central bankers, technocrats,
regulators, and other agents of the administrative state remain
stewards of the common good and do not become overmighty citizens.
Paul Tucker draws on a wealth of personal experience from his many
years in domestic and international policymaking to tackle the big
issues raised by unelected power, and enriches his discussion with
examples from the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and the
European Union. Blending economics, political theory, and public
law, Tucker explores the necessary conditions for delegated but
politically insulated power to be legitimate in the eyes of
constitutional democracy and the rule of law. He explains why the
solution must fit with how real-world government is structured, and
why technocrats and their political overseers need incentives to
make the system work as intended. Tucker explains how the
regulatory state need not be a fourth branch of government free to
steer by its own lights, and how central bankers can emulate the
best of judicial self-restraint and become models of dispersed
power. Like it or not, unelected power has become a hallmark of
modern government. This critically important book shows how to
harness it to the people's purposes.
How central banks and independent regulators can support rather
than challenge constitutional democracy Unelected Power lays out
the principles needed to ensure that central bankers and other
independent regulators act as stewards of the common good. Blending
economics, political theory, and public law, this critically
important book explores the necessary conditions for delegated but
politically insulated power to be legitimate in the eyes of
constitutional democracy and the rule of law. It explains why the
solution must fit with how real-world government is structured, and
why technocrats and their political overseers need incentives to
make the system work as intended. Now with a new preface by Paul
Tucker, Unelected Power explains how the regulatory state need not
be a fourth branch of government free to steer by its own lights,
and how central bankers can emulate the best of judicial
self-restraint.
