In Fluid, revolutionary fashion designer Harris Reed introduces the
world to a new era in fluid fashion. At the centre of Harris
Reed’s sartorial journey has always been his desire to change the
way people express their identities through clothing. Fluidity’s
essence is adaptable, evolutionary, and dynamic, and Harris’s
work constantly disrupts the divide between men's and women's
clothing. His pieces have been worn by Harry Styles, Adele, Sam
Smith, Iman, and Beyoncé—and with each piece he has generated an
instantly iconic cultural moment, pushing conversations about
gender expression into the mainstream. Fluid examines historical
antecedents of fluidity, questions old power structures, and urges
people to find their authentic selves in this new avenue of
fashion. With stunning photography, resplendent fashion, and
illustrations of Harris's design process, Fluid takes readers
beyond the idea of clothes as mere garments, reasoning that clothes
are a nexus of art, philosophy, and history that can be used to
help shape our culture and challenge understandings of gender. With
this book, Harris Reed affirms that fluid is the future of fashion.

Brilliantly portrayed by a novelist with a talent for hyperbole and
downright yarning unequaled since Mark Twain, (Saturday Review),
this slave's-eye view of the Civil War exposes America's racial
foibles of the past and present with uninhibited humor and
panache.Mixing history, fantasy, political reality, and comedy,
Ishmael Reed spins the tale of three runaway slaves and the master
determined to catch them. His on-target parody of fugitive slave
narratives and other literary forms includes a hero who boards a
jet bound for Canada; Abraham Lincoln waltzing through slave
quarters to the tune of Hello, Dolly; and a plantation mistress
entranced by TV's Beecher Hour. Filled with insights into the
political consciences (or lack thereof) of both blacks and whites,
Flight to Canada confirms Reed's status as a great writer (James
Baldwin).A demonized Uncle Tom's Cabin, a book that reinvents the
particulars of slavery in America with comic rage. -- The New York
Times Book ReviewWears the mantle of Baldwin and Ellison like a
high-powered Flip Wilson in drag...a terrifically funny book. --

It's time to do things differently.
Trust your team. Be radically honest. And never, ever try to please
your boss.
These are some of the ground rules if you work at Netflix. They are
part of a unique cultural experiment that explains how the company has
transformed itself at lightning speed from a DVD mail order service
into a streaming superpower - with 190 million fervent subscribers and
a market capitalisation that rivals the likes of Disney.
Finally Reed Hastings, Netflix Chairman and CEO, is sharing the secrets
that have revolutionised the entertainment and tech industries. With
INSEAD business school professor Erin Meyer, he will explore his
leadership philosophy - which begins by rejecting the accepted beliefs
under which most companies operate - and how it plays out in practice
at Netflix.
From unlimited holidays to abolishing approvals, Netflix offers a
fundamentally different way to run any organisation, one far more in
tune with an ever-changing fast-paced world. For anyone interested in
creativity, productivity and innovation, the Netflix culture is
something close to a holy grail. This book will make it, and its
creator, fully accessible for the first time.
Explore the web of factors that influence your power as a
teacher-and how you can better use that power to foster student
agency and empowerment. What kind of power do teachers have? What
influences their instructional decision making-and how does that
affect students, particularly Black students and other students of
color? How can educators move away from practices that oppress and
devalue students to practices that support and empower them? These
are just a few of the questions that author Tanji Reed Marshall
answers in Understanding Your Instructional Power. Countering the
notion that teachers are powerless in the classroom, she introduces
the Power Principle to help teachers unpack how they understand and
use the power associated with their authority and responsibility as
an educator. Drawing from her own experience as a classroom teacher
and coach, Reed Marshall explains how the Power Principle reveals
itself through various elements, including language use (by both
students and teachers), "hidden curriculum," and classroom culture.
She identifies four levels of curricular autonomy that teachers
have (Unfettered, Calibrated, Restricted, and Minimal) and four
dimensions of instructional power that characterize their classroom
environment (Empowering, Agentive, Protective, and
Disenfranchising). Reflection exercises throughout the book guide
readers through a deep analysis of their personal and professional
histories and ideologies, including how these influence students'
learning experiences. Reed Marshall shares her own journey of
setbacks and progress as she offers support and encouragement to
K-12 teachers seeking to use their power in productive ways so that
all students can bring their full selves to class and receive the
education they deserve.

Alex Gibney directs this documentary exploring the controversial
career of American cyclist Lance Armstrong. Gibney followed
Armstrong, a seven-time Tour de France champion, on his return to
racing in 2009. Armstrong's goal in returning was to defy
persistent allegations that his past victories were in part due to
doping, but in 2012 he was handed a lifetime ban from cycling after
being found guilty of taking performance-enhancing drugs, something
he finally admitted in 2013. The documentary includes interviews
with Armstrong, who offers his side of the story, as well as
contributions from cycling contemporaries and those who follow the
sport.
