Developing Conscious Gratitude in Schools
Developing Conscious Gratitude in Schools transforms how educators address systemic inequality in American education. Jerell Hill presents a comprehensive blueprint for creating inclusive, empowering learning environments that shift students from burdens to brilliance, particularly those from low-income and marginalized backgrounds. This book explores how neighborhood conditions, public health, housing policy, and segregation profoundly impact educational opportunities. Through compelling research, case studies, and practical strategies, Hill provides concrete approaches educators and administrators can implement immediately. Unlike theoretical works that merely describe problems, this offers actionable transformation. Conscious gratitude is not about avoiding hardship, but transforming it into purpose, resilience, and meaningful connection while honoring the sacred practice of teaching.

This revised and updated edition of Why Europe? offers a historical as well as thematical insight into the development of the European Union.

Get Ready For This
Get Ready For This: The Remarkable Rumbelows League Cup Era tells the story of one of English football’s most bizarre chapters, through fresh stories and conversations with those who lived it. Between Italia ’90 and the birth of the Premier League, the game was in transition. Optimism was back after years of decline, yet the glossy era of Sky and all-seater stadiums was still to come. In that short window, the League Cup – sponsored by high-street electronics chain Rumbelows – became a stage for chaos and spectacle. There were sprint races between players, television giveaways and the most infamous cup draw of all time, conducted live from Trump Tower. Through conversations with players, former ITV broadcasters and representatives of both the Football League and Rumbelows, this book reveals how a domestic cup briefly became the wildest show in English football. Brimming with eccentric tales, giant-killings and record goals, this is football at its most entertaining and unpredictable.

Complete Essays: Volume 1
A superb new edition of the essays of one of the greatest prose writers in English
David Hume reshaped, redirected, and re-energised the English essay. His sceptical, rational, self-questioning persona created what amounted to a new intellectual arena, in which it was possible to think afresh about the world and the self. When he famously wrote that 'the life of man is of no greater importance to the universe than that of an oyster', something had changed.
David Womersley has spent a lifetime studying the literature of the eighteenth century. This definitive new two-volume edition of the essays follows Hume's division of his essays into two parts, and allows the modern reader to enjoy this extraordinary writer in all his moods, from benign optimism to gloomy foreboding. The editorial apparatus supplies indispensable intellectual and bibliographical context for these rewarding, humane, and yet also subtly provocative writings.

Guilt
A tour de force crime novel from one of the international masters of the form, where a simple murder case questions the simple notions of good and evil, guilt and redemption.
A body has been found on a Central Tokyo riverbank, and Homicide Detective Godai of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is assigned to investigate. The victim is identified as a lawyer, Kensuke Shiraishi, and Godai’s investigations lead him to one Tatsuro Kuraki, who ends up confessing to not only to the lawyer’s murder, but also another one from thirty years ago – for which another man was arrested and died in custody before trial. Kuraki’s confession neatly resolves two cases, but there is just one problem: Detective Godai doesn’t believe him.
What’s more, there are two other people who can’t accept Kuraki’s confession. One is the son of Kuraki, the professed murderer; the other is the daughter of Shiraishi, the victim.
As they get closer to the truth it becomes clear that the link between the two murders is murkier and more complicated than they could possibly have imagined – and so is the line between innocence and guilt.
If I Hadn't Seen Such Riches
If I Hadn’t Seen Such Riches chronicles Manchester United’s dramatic 1990/91 European Cup Winners’ Cup adventure, weaving in the culture, economics and vibrant music scene of the time. After the Three Lions’ heroics at Italia 90 captured the nation’s hearts, it was time for English clubs to return to European competition after five years in the wilderness.

FA Cup success in 1990 bought Alex Ferguson time, but it was by no means a given that he would become the legendary figure and knight we know today. United, pioneers of European football in the late 50s, once more flew the flag for England. The intrepid Reds, competing in the quirky and much-loved Cup Winners’ Cup, travelled to Hungary, Wales, France and Poland en route to an unforgettable rain-soaked night in Rotterdam. This is the definitive account of a pivotal campaign that laid the foundations for unprecedented success.

A Study in Failure
Every politician's rise to power is a story of success and failure, accompanied by tantalising what-might-have-beens. The career of Winston Churchill was no exception, with his eight months prior to becoming Prime Minister as First Lord of the Admiralty marked by the loss of important warships, the planning of disastrous expeditions and the design of impractical weapons. Based on archival and biographical research, this account argues that Churchill's actions at the Admiralty were for the most part misjudged and dangerous. Much of what happened could have been avoided, with lives saved and the defence of western Europe strengthened had other counsels prevailed. Very much the opposite of a hagiography, A Study in Failure provides an alternative perspective on the man regularly considered the UK's greatest ever leader.
The Unicorn Murders
The diplomat Sir George Ramsden is returning to Britain from France with the mysterious "unicorn" in tow. The legendary thief Flamande has declared that he will be on the same flight as Ramsden, in disguise, and that the unicorn will be his. His arch-rival and head of the Srete Nationale, Gasquet, has assured the public that he too will be on the plane to thwart his nemesis. Meanwhile, holidaying in Paris, the ex-spy Kenwood Blake runs into Evelyn Cheyne and is swept into a perilous chase ending at the Chateau de l'Ile on a stormy night. Here, Ramsden's plane has made an emergency landing, and Henry Merrivale has joined the party. When the castle is cut off by the flooding river, the stage is set for a battle of wits between two masters of disguise in Flamande and Gasquet, as a bizarre and seemingly impossible murder among the party casts suspicion in every direction and the mystery of the unicorn is revealed. Carter Dickson's brilliantly intricate mystery was first published in Britain in 1936; it remains a testament to his unique talent for wrangling audacious levels of devilishness into a masterpiece.
